Josh Hamilton is back, and he made his presence known.
Game boxscore, recap
Something Has to Change from Bleeding Blue and Teal
"There is no way that management hasn’t noticed that their ballclub cannot hit pedestrian right handers even if their collective lives depended on it. When will an adjustment be made to get some lefties in the lineup?"
The Bright Side from USS Mariner
"Yea, that sucked, but it wasn’t all that hard to see coming. As we’ve noted repeatedly, the Mariners roster is structured incorrectly, which leaves them essentially incapable of hitting pitchers like Scott Feldman . . .
. . . The Rangers are a great fastball hitting team, and [Vargas] has a below average fastball, so he didn’t even bother trying the whole “establish the fastball” crap. He went with his off-speed stuff, disrupted timing, mixed speeds and locations, and used the fastball as a complementary pitch . . . Just a smart, well pitched game by a guy who really had no business succeeding in that environment."
