I always worry about the injury bug early on. Smh. Bites us every season, even when we won it all.

Kumar Rocker got Rocked. And he did most of spring training as well. He may still develop into a big league starter, but he's not ready yet. Not sure why Dunning isn't in that 5th spot until some people come back from injury. He's been basically a .500 pitcher for the last 4 years with the rangers, and is a good inning eater.

Dane Dunning was waived.  As far as I know, he's not on a major league roster.  The rumor is it has something to do with an injury.

I agree with you on Rocker.  Leiter didn't have a very good outing in game 2.  He threw his fastball for strikes but his off speed was no where near the zone.  Mahle had a terrible outing game 3.  Hopefully these guys can get things going in their next start.

Tough when you're putting a lot of hope in a bunch of guys coming off major injuries or with almost no experience in the bigs. Eovaldi is the only starter they have in the rotation right now that has both experience and fairly reasonable health over the last two seasons.

Eovaldi just threw a complete game shutout on 99 pitches. Good guys win 1-0!!!

[bullets13]

second straight 1-0 win! Leiter gives them 5 scoreless 1-hit innings, and the bullpen combined to give up 2 hits over 4 to close out the win! The offense better pick it up, but the pitchers, and even the bullpen have been solid so far this year.

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

💪🏾😁

[Ty Cobb]

Won another series. Leiter looked very good today. He had good command of his off speed pitches and his fastball was electric. I hope we see more of this Leiter!!!

Surly the bats will wake up before too long.

[bullets13]

Pitching was excellent the last two days, thankfully. Can’t score two runs in two games and normally expect one win, much less two. 

[Ty Cobb]

The RANGERS sweep the rays with a 4-3 victory today and win the 3rd series of the season.  Off to Wrigleyville.

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

I don't remember the Rangers ever having this kind of start to a season.

I'm not gonna get too excited just yet. They started last year 6-2, and then stunk it up most of the year.

[Ty Cobb]

The RANGERS lost 2 out of 3 to the Cubs. The bats came alive in game 3 so hopefully that will continue. On the road to seattle.

As an Astros fan, how did Tucker do? I miss him.

Tucker did damage early in the series but didn't have a good game 3.  He finished the series 4 for 12 with 3 runs and 1 rbi

I don't like him because he's an opponent but I'm pretty sure I could come around if he joined the RANGERS!!! 😀

[Ty Cobb]

Got swept by the mariners. This team can’t hit and dang sure can’t hit with runners in scoring position. Hope this changes soon!!!

[bullets13]

been a rough week 

[Ty Cobb]

Kumar Rocker gets his 1st career win as The RANGERS sweep the angels. 
Dodgers are up next.

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

Sweep!!!!! 💪🏾

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

El Bombi walk-off! Rangers win 4-3 over the Dodgers

[Ty Cobb]

Lost the series with the dodgers but the pitching was very good and the bats are starting to come around. Just can’t hit with runners on. 
Off to the west coast to play the A’s

[Ty Cobb]

The RANGERS lose the series tobthe A’s. Heading to san fran to play the giants.

Can't believe they blew that lead last night.

Rangers started off really hot and have been pretty mediocre, since. If the bats ever get it together they're going to be pretty tough to beat, though. Pitching has been pretty good, other than Rocker, who needs to be out of the rotation at this point. Bats have been pretty anemic.
