The Rangers' genius manager put a kid in to protect the 1 run lead in Yankee stadium. It was his major league debut. What chance did that have of working out for the Rangers. The kid was having a heart attack while he was taking his warm ups.
They are pitching way too much. The starters are waering these guys out. The starters have to hold up their end. In a 5 game cycle, how often do we get 7 or even 6 innings from the starter? You can't go to the pen for 3 or 4 innings every game.
Any day now they should be announcing the acquisition of Jason "the ultimate loser" Johnson and call it a low risk move. Once we start seeing phrases like that in print and rookie pitchers starting against the Yankees you know we are maybe one more injury away from a 2006 collapse. The Sox were the best taem in baseball in 2006 before the meltdown started.
