Reflections on a Rangers victory 14-1

Rangers 14, sailors 1

• I guess I could just tell you to go back and read what I wrote last night, huh?
• For the second game in a row, the goal was scored in first base, which made a big lead for the middle innings and cashed a few extra points late. And for the second consecutive game, the Rangers coach managed 7 innings while allowing only one pass.
• Today, it is Lance Lynn who switched to IP 7 for Texas. Lynn struggled with his command early, and it seemed like it was doubtful to go to five after conceding three goals and giving up a single in the first two innings, exceeding 50 pitches. Lynn, however, resumed her pace after that. , allowing only 4 hits and 0 walks in the last five innings, recording a total of 9 Ks on the day. Lynn allowed the only sailor to run in the fourth quarter, when a doubling of Tim Beckham was followed by a flight and a ground exit.

• Brett Martin celebrated his 24th birthday today by scoring an eighth without a goal, while José Leclerc, who had launched only one run last week, scored a scoreless 9th with a double, a walk and a K.

• Texas was scored on first base when Shin-Soo Choo opened the scoring with a single, outscored the second on one of Elvis Andrus's singles, and then scored when Hunter Pence hit a smash that was knocked down by the second baseman, but not brought back,
• Four other points were found in the third when, with only one, Rougned Odor was singled out, Elvis was dominated by a mark, Nomar Mazara was singled out, and Hunter Pence was introduced. The starter of M, Erik Swanson, was pursued in the fifth inning when the round started E-6, single, double, terrible missed ball, E-7, a sequence that brought home three points and left Danny Santana, the beneficiary of the E-7, in third base, making it 8-1. Santana scored a double by Delino DeShields to take the score to 9-1.
• The Rangers scored another point in 7th place on a single from Choo RBI, another 8th at Logan Forsythe and finished the score with a 9th home run for Choo on Connor Sadzeck.
• To take nothing away from the Rangers today, but … the Mariners' defense was really bad. Four errors were blamed on Seattle today, and Beckham was first charged with a fifth mistake on a bad pitch, before it was changed. Beckham played the ball so flippantly that Santana would have been safe in the beginning, even if the pitch had been accurate. Six of 14 points in Texas were undeserved.
• Swanson, the starter of M, was the second piece of the trade Carlos Beltran. He was sent from New York to Seattle in the James Paxton trade and is now part of the rotation in Seattle. Dillon Tate, the head of this accord, is fighting for a backup role in AA for Baltimore. Swanson had some periods of very poor command in the end zone, leaving shots in the center, today, and Texas forced him to pay.
• Just a weird week. Texas lost five games in a row, including a bad game in Oakland, a Thursday loss to Taylor in Seattle, which prevented Taylor Hearn from coming out of the first game and forced reporters to find synonyms for "disastrous". And an extra loss of heat on Friday. And now, Texas is back above .500, has a restful pen that starts a Monday off (with another day of rest imminent on Thursday), and Drew Smyly (and maybe Ronald Guzman) is back this week-end.
• This is a good way to end the week.
