Kinsler is still having a monster april and Feldman needs to go in the rotation. I know people want to bash Wilson but if Andrus does'nt throw the ball down the right field line and gets the out than none of those runs score.

[studcrackers]

frustrating game yesterday, plus mccarthy was seriously getting f*cked over all game w/the strikezone, these umps in this series have been apalling. id hate to come up away w/a split after winning the 1st 2 games

3-1 against the O's on the road. For the Rangers you either got 2 hits or none and David Murphy is starting to hit as his Teagarden. I know Harrison's line does'nt look that great but all 4 runs were in the 1st inning but last night he had 16 outs in a row before he gave up a hit from the 3rd to 7th innings. CJ looked dominant as did Frankie hopefully when May comes so does some more consistancy with this team.

[studcrackers]

harrison had some decent starts last year but this may be his most impressive because of the way he bounced back. his velocity looked as good as ive seen it and he was attacking the strike zone instead of that nibbling crap he's done in his prior starts.

i cant recall the last ranger pitcher ive seen bounce back like that after a crappy start to the game because it didnt look like he'd get through the 3rd.
