KNOW WHEN TO FOLD EM'
Yesterday, the Rangers pitching staff (8 pitchers) threw 300 pitches against the Mariners in 18 innings.
Tonight?
The Rangers defeat the Astros 3-1.
But that's not the story.
Moved up in the rotation by Rangers manager Buck Showalter, Kenny Rogers pitches a complete game, saving the depleted bullpen. He only allows 3 hits on just 90 pitches. 90 pitches compared to yesterday's 300.
Simply stunning.
BTW, Freddy Garcia was moved up by Bob Melvin tonight and guess what?
He's down 3-0 to the Padres in the 4th inning. Of course, this game is doomed from the start, considering that RICH AURILIA is hitting in the 3-hole. Unreal.
And Ron Villone will get the start tomorrow evening.
I have nothing else to say.
