Rangers lose again - Wash on the hot seat
The Rangers' bullpen put together a yeoman's effort Wednesday afternoon in
the absence of Colby Lewis. The offense put together just enough to take a
late lead on a locked-in Max Scherzer. Mark Lowe relieves and blows the
lead. Darren Oliver holds the tie in the 8th. Elvis Andrus strands Julio
Borbon at 3rd in the top of the 9th (second stranding at 3rd of the day).
Ron Washington watches the elderly lefty Oliver nearly walk a lefty batter
before getting the first out of the 9th, then Wash ignores the hollering of
the rest of Ranger Nation to bring in the rested righty Nefty Feliz to face
the righty Brandon Inge. Instead, Oliver serves up a first-pitch dinger to
Inge for the Rangers' first losing streak. Great call leaving in Oliver,
Wash.
On a side note, Hamilton is calling for Dave Anderson's head. Good things
on the horizon, I tell ya.
