Welcome back, one and all... sorry for the "not posting" of late... too many excuses, but none of them worthy. But, when I don't post, they win (Rangers, that is), so let's see what happens today, shall we?
Rangers vs. Twins - Rogers vs. Lohse - well, Rogers got back on track somewhat with the Royals (but he did give up 11 hits in 7 innings... hhhmmm...). ERA still very respectable at 3.18, but it is 4.26 in his last 3 starts. Lohse (ironically) in his last start was also against the Royals, 7 innings giving up only 3 hits. He has a 3.79 ERA in his last 3 and 4.13 overall. This year Rogers has gone 15 innings against the Twins, practically perfect (0.00 ERA and only 12 hits, 1 walk). They are hitting .231 against him. 6 of his 7 losses have been on the road. Twins hitters are a career .242 against him, 2 dingers, 11 RBIs in 153 at bats. Ford, Stewart, and Hunter seem to do well against him (Hunter especially - 6 for 21 for .286 - 1HR 6RBIs - no strike outs). Lohse just pitched against Texas on 8/26 (I was at that game!) He gave up 6 runs in 5 innings... I remember he was throwing grapefut. The ball looked big to Texas. 9 hits and 3 were homeruns! That was his only start against Texas, but he did have a relief appearance of 2 innings, giving up 1 run. Total numbers: 7 innings/7 runs - 9.00 ERA 11 hits, 4 homers, Rangers are hitting .344 against him this year. Now, looking at Lohse, I have to be honest... Sorry just loves this guy (Sorry, by the way, is what I call that poor excuse of a definsive player we have at second base)... anyway, he is 8-18 off him (.444 ave) with 2 homers and 6 RBIs. Tex is 6-12 but no homers. Let's change that tonight, shall we? Career, the Ranger hitters are 41-121 (.339 ave), and for Lohse, the numb3rs just get worse... (notice the reference to that TV show... hehehe). My call today on this is the Rangers over the Twins (Lohse doesn't make it more than 5 today) 5-3. And most of that 5 will be early.
