Good outing by Justin today. Not great because he could only make it through 5 innings and because of the unearned runs caused by Horrible defense!!!! Errors by Inge and Everett in the 5th inning led to 2 unearned runs. Both were plays that clearly should have been made. Adam's error was pathetic...routine grounder that he fields cleanly but cannot get out of his glove and is late throwing to 2nd. That would have ended the inning. Hamilton followed the Everett error with a flare to left that drove in 2 and gave the Rangers a 3-2 lead.
Justin's line: 5 IP, 2 H, 1 ER, 4 BB, 8 SO.
Placido had a nice game with 2 doubles, but it continues to concern me that he is getting too many hits to left field. This trend seemed to start in 2008 and has continued in 2009. He pulls the ball too much.
Nate has pitched outstanding out of the pen for the most of this season. Today was no exception as he faced 6 batters and got them all out. Really good.
Fernando Rodney was awesome to get his first save. 3 batters faced and 3 K's. Wow. The mix of a 96 MPH fastball and 81 MPH changeup is fantastic. He just needs to keep mixing them up properly.
Laird called another great game. The Rangers only had 2 hits!
