Tom Evans wins 3B job

Posted by Joe Siegler on March 29, 2000 at 4:58 pm

PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. (AP) — The Texas Rangers sent prospect Mike Lamb to Triple-A Oklahoma on Wednesday, clearing the way for Tom Evans to be their starting third baseman.
Lamb, who hit .324 with 21 homers and 100 RBIs in the minors last season, came into spring training as the favorite to replace Todd Zeile.
But Evans, a non-roster invitee to camp who spent all last season at Triple-A, beat him out by hitting .310 and tying for second on the club with four homers, including a grand slam.
Evans played 12 games for Toronto in 1997 and seven more in 1998. The Rangers claimed him off waivers from the Blue Jays last spring.
To make room for Evans on the 40-man roster, first baseman Mike Simms cleared waivers and was designated for assignment to Oklahoma. Simms, who missed last year with an injury, can accept the assignment or become a free agent.

ST26: Rangers win finale in Florida, 6-3 against Twins

Posted by Joe Siegler on March 29, 2000 at 12:01 am

The Rangers’ final Florida Spring Training game was today – a win over perennial spring opponents the Minnesota Twins.
John Wetteland got yet another start, and pitched one inning, giving up just a hit. Also on the positive side was 5 innings of no run, 3 hit baseball from Kenny Rogers (whose next game should be Monday – the opener), and an inning of no hit no run ball from Mike Munoz. Matt Perisho didn’t fare as well, all the runs we gave up came from him (all earned, too). Without a game log, it’s hard to tell how they scored, but overall, it didn’t seem like that bad of a pitching performance based on the box score.
On the offensive side, our eight hits were scattered over eight different players. Scott Sheldon made the most of his one at bat, getting a three run home run in the seventh to give us the lead in the game, and the win.
Now that we’re breaking camp, we should start to see the final roster cuts made. Once the final 25 are announced, I’ll be updating my roster page with that info. I’m also hoping they’ll have the Media Guide for sale – a ton of my roster info comes from there. :)
Can’t wait! I’m headed out to Arlington to see the Cardinals game. It’s so close, I can smell it!

ST25: Rangers lose to Blue Jays, 8-5

Posted by Joe Siegler on March 28, 2000 at 12:01 am

I was pretty sick yesterday, and that coupled with the Tornadoes in the area yesterday evening didn’t leave me feeling like writing about baseball at all.
As much as I love baseball, when it comes down to something like your life, baseball just doesn’t seem that important.

ST24: Rangers hang on against Reds, win 9-8

Posted by Joe Siegler on March 27, 2000 at 12:01 am

The Rangers hang on to get a 9-8 win over the Cincinnati Reds today in the final radio broadcast game from Florida this spring.
Double for Pudge in 1st, good base running by Chad Curtis – Pudge seems to be coming together offensively late in Spring.
Sloppy third inning on both sides allowing to a few runs for each team. Errors, wild pitches, etc led to the Reds taking the lead in the inning. We took the lead back in the bottom of the third with a double by Raffy. Aaron Boone followed up with his second error of the inning, allowing the Rangers two extra outs in the inning. This led to a triple by Segui adding another run, followed by a single by Kapler. The Rangers did bat around this inning, sending 10 men to the plate.
Segui later hit a 2 run HR (his first as Ranger) in the 6th, giving us a 4 run lead at the time. Gabe Kapler then follows with an opposite field HR for back-to-back with Segui. Segui had a great day – he’s really starting to look like a great pickup. :)
In the 9th, R.A Dickey couldn’t close the door, and Edwin Diaz made a bad play turning a double play that allowed the Reds to creep back into the game one run behind the Rangers. The Rangers finally turned a double play to hold on to a 9-8 win.
Loaiza wins, now 3-0, although he didn’t dominate at all. The box score said Wetteland got the win, the radio guys said Loaiza. I’m not sure which is the actual winner at the moment I write this.

ST23: Rangers beat the Phillies, 7-6

Posted by Joe Siegler on March 26, 2000 at 12:01 am

Unfortunately, I don’t have time to write any commentary for this game. I’ve been sick most of the weekend, and I don’t remember very many of the details of this game on Monday morning (when I’m writing this).

ST20: Rangers lose to Twins 4-2

Posted by Joe Siegler on March 23, 2000 at 12:01 am

Yesterday was an eventful day even though the Rangers had their lone “off day” of the season. The new TV contracts were announced (finally), and the 2000 TV Schedule was published (I updated my 2000 Schedule with that). Shortly after the 23-9 game on Tuesday, seven roster changes were made. Lots happening.
Today, we got back into action with a 4-2 loss to the Minnesota Twins. From looking at the box score, today was a somewhat pitcher’s duel – there were total of 15 hits from both teams (Rangers with 6). Each team had an error, although the Rangers error didn’t appear to cost us any runs. Mark Clark on the other hand, went 6 innings, allowing four earned runs and 9 hits. The other two Ranger pitchers (Perisho & Crabtree) didn’t give up anything in their two innings. Mark Clark gave up a long ball in the first for two runs, and then gave up another in the first, and one more was added later.
We lost, but it doesn’t seem like we were in that bad of a condition. We were outpitched it seems, and our pitcher made a couple of small mistakes where theirs didn’t.
From the looks of the score, not having seen or heard the game, it doesn’t look like a game worth getting to bent out of shape over the loss over.

About Site

This is a Texas Rangers fan site run by Joe Siegler. From 1999 through 2013 I used to do daily game updates, but got burnt out on that and stopped.

The site lives on as my favorite section to update I’m still very interested in. That is the Uniform Number history pages, which I’m quite proud of. Plus Ill write the odd article here and there.

I mostly spend my time in this Facebook group talking about the Rangers these days.

If you have any questions, please feel free to drop me a line.
