Rangers vs. Rays ALDS

[mstng86]

I like seeing Ogando out of the bullpen. I loved him last year, and it is a little more comforting with him coming in than anyone else.

[BERT]

Ogando and Feldman should be the first two out of the bullpen every game from here on out

Have i ever told y'all that i think Washington sucks?

A pitchers ERA is cumulative over the course of the year. Which means, he pitched innings without giving up runs, and he pitched innings giving up more than six. The very first game he pitched for the rangers, he gave it away. IIRC he gave up 3 runs in that inning. If you have a 6 ERA and you are a one inning relief pitcher, not good IMO, not when you are pitching for a world series team. However, we watched the same sort of bullpen collapses last year during the post season as well.

And you, please stop talking baseball. He gave up 6 earned runs since he came to Texas. His first appearance was a loss, because he gave up a homerun in a tie game (first batter he faced IIRC). He has a 2.10 ERA with Texas, but he pitched a lot of meaningless innings. When it counted, he had 3 losses and 1 blown save (how about the 2-1 blown save/loss in Anaheim when Texas was on the verge of sweeping them in a 4 game series?).

Are we considering 6 earned runs him "mostly" blowing leads? It could be better yes but its certainly not too bad...

He had a lot of appearances against bad teams or in blowout games. 5 against Seattle, 3 against Cleveland, 6 against Oakland, and 7 in games that were won or lost by more than 4 runs.

I had my fingers crossed the entire bottom of the 9th! Go Rangers

Sombody hasn't been watching this season! Both him and Uehara have been abysmal since joining the team. Get this fuckin' amateur outta here!

[jewozzy]

He was solid with San Diego (from what I've heard), but he mostly blew leads since he came to Texas.

Agreed. He was doing well as a setup man for Bell in San Diego, but he's blown almost as badly as Uehara. But on the bright side, they have him for another year! Haha.He had a good outing Saturday. 2/3 or 1 inning, got everybody he faced (after Uehara warmed up the bats)?He was solid with San Diego (from what I've heard), but he mostly blew leads since he came to Texas.

didnt notice that, listen to the game on the radio on saturday at work but I guess I missed his outing.

[TRAXX]

Fuck that was painful to watch, but at least they won.

[Nash B.]

I still think it was a great move to pick him up, he just hasn't panned out as well as he should have.

I honestly would rather have Pam Oliver pitch than Darren Oliver.

TBS announcer Buck Martinez."The reason why Oliver is here is because he is consistent." Your right Buck, he consistently sucks.

It could be worse, the Braves had Scott Proctor and Scott Linebrink this past year. When one of them went in with a lead it was basically conceding 2-3 runs or waving the white flag if we were losing.

Finally over, I think I get older after every Ranger game.

It probably hits every time D. Oliver gets up in the bullpen.
