Suck it Rangers! Go Phillies!

Cliff Claven >> Cliff Lee.

nothing like seeing 2 shut down aces battle in a pitching duel on opening day

[stevestevens]

10-8 phils.

Excellent

[Sherlock31]

Not sure bout that. Darvish wont miss another start and Harrison will likely be back in 2 weeks. holland likely returns in late May. So injuries will decide whether this is a good team or not...

Harrison, Holland and Soria are what I called the damaged goods，Harrison missed almost all of last year, and had another surgery this year, I doubt he is going to get back to his old self, at least not this year, if ever.  Soria is the same, after missed all of 12 and big part of the 13 season, there is no guarantee he is gonna be able to pitch for a full year and be injury free.

Ogando picking up right where he left on in the spring. 13-8 now

Cliff Lee -- 5.0 IP, 11 H, 8 ER, 14.40 ERA..... gets the win...

The fact that some people still evaluate starters based on W/L record is either really funny or really sad.

[m0nkey]

Ian Kinsler's wish is off to a good start

[nando714]

Eagles defeat the Cowboys 14-10

Cliff Lee -- 5.0 IP, 11 H, 8 ER, 14.40 ERA.....   gets the win...

The Rangers offense is still good - especially when you play in jetstream ball like they do at home.  Can't wait to see this team on the road.  Yes yes, I know you have Profar, Soto and Engel Beltre on the DL.  But, let's not pretend that they are all ball mashers (though, Soto is pretty good with power).  Your rotation might have been similar to ours without the Holland injury.  But, we won't know that.

 

We all have to go with what is on the field.  And, right now - your team does suck.  Injuries happen....kinda have to deal with it.

The Rangers' offense will likely be above average even with the injuries so it's the least of my concerns. I'm not freaking about their long-term pitching situation as they'll have reinforcements arriving but the jury is still out on their staff as it stands now, although I'm really not looking forward to watching Saunders pitch.

 

My biggest issue is Ron Washington. He should have been canned after 2012 and he's the reason I wasn't really looking forward to this season. The dude couldn't even wait a ****ing week to start making terrible decisions.

Rangers poised to go 0-162, just like Kinsler said
