I didn’t get to hear any of this game, as it was a “spend the day with the wife” day. Which was fine, but I sacrificed a Ranger game for that. :) Was nice to see us come out on top, although I would have preferred we not give up 8 runs doing it.

I started listening to this game on the radio, as I had a fantasy baseball league draft that was on at the same time. However, I did not finish listening to the game. Our pitching was horrible, giving up a lot of runs (12), and well… that’s all I can remember. If we had anything good in this game, it was overshadowed by another crappy Texas pitching performance.

As I sit here to write this on Monday, I can’t remember a thing about this game. Friday I went home from work sick, and I normally update the page in the morning before I get started with my work – but I wasn’t feeling up to it, and now 4 days later, I can’t recall a thing about the game, so no commentary from me. Was nice to see 3 in a row. :)

This game was not broadcast anywhere, but it was nice to see a win for a change this spring. No commentary from me as I didn’t hear any of it.

Forgot this was on, and when I turned it in, we were winning something like 7-1. Then I got to hear the Rangers give it all back, and then lose it in extra innings.
Don’t have time to write about this on Wednesday, but given as I didn’t hear the Rangers score all their runs anyway, all I can comment on is bad pitching, and I don’t feel like doing that. :)

Another game I didn’t get to listen to much (the feed was available from mlb.com with the Padres radio guys). Although I can say that the Padres radio guys made almost no effort to research Ranger player names – they mispronounced almost everyone’s name that had more than a couple of syllables, it seemed.
Was a back and forth game that we ended up on the wrong end of. I don’t have a lot of memories of this game as I write it the next day except that it seemed that we had a problem with balls in the outfield – seemed like too many got over our guys’ heads, or off gloves, or things of that nature.

I got to listen to the start of this game, because I left the house early tonight – I went to the Stars/Penguins game, and went out to dinner beforehand.
Anyway, this is the stereotypical Arizona Spring Training game – a ton of runs scored (22 of them – including a score of 7-5 after 3 innings). A few home run balls, and generally very high ERA’s. Chan Ho Park sounded really ineffective, giving up several runs before even getting the first out in the first inning. The reports after the game say that no one was concerned, that they were just “working” on things, but you always hate to see your “ace” give up that many runs at once. Considering how inconsistant he was last season.
We got a few home runs, including a solo shot by Kevin Mench. There was a three run home run by Ruben Sierra late in the game that gave us the lead for good, which was the point I stopped listening. Doug Glanville continues to sound great in spring – batting well, and if I’m not mistaken making no flubs in the field, which is one of his strong points. I always liked Glanville in Philly, so I hope that he picks it back up here.
As a short side note, I was surprised to hear so many former Rangers in Brewers camp. I suppose I shouldn’t be, with Doug Melvin running the show up there, but it still struck me as surprising. :)

I got a chance to really listen to this game, since my wife was working on Saturday afternoon, and I was home by myself, so I fired up some hot dogs on the grill, grabbed a Coke (in my Rangers mug, of course), and sat down with the radio and a scorecard to listen to the game. Normally I don’t score spring training games, because there’s too many changes to keep track of, but I was testing out a new scorecard I had just picked up from the sporting goods store, and since I only scored the Rangers, it wasn’t that bad. Oh yeah, the game…
Our spring starts out 0-3 with another loss. There’s a joke about only being able to beat a college team, but I won’t go there. From the get-go, our pitching really seemed craptacular today. Never really got it going – in fact, I believe only Colby Lewis pitched good – our only pitcher not to allow anything.
We got down early on a Charles Johnson home run, and we never really clicked after that. Mike Young made some noise with a 3 run home run, but our offense never really got going. Ah well, most of the guys pitching today aren’t going to be with the club come spring anyway, so I’m not really concerned at all. I’m just happy to have a game to listen to after months of football. :)
