Even with Clase the magic carpet bullpen ride of last year was never going to repeat this year.

(For one thing they burned out some arms with all those appearances IMO.

Feel bad for Cade last night!

and they have way too many AAA players in the lineup.
One mistake by the Rangers yesterday: they should have intentionally walked Jose with the bases loaded and we would have scored only one run.
Instead he doubled in 2, and then the next "heart of the lineup" followed up by all striking out with men on second and third.

Gabriel Arias looked like he could hit in July. Now he's back to normal with a perfect 4 K in 4 tries yesterday.
