That got ugly fast in the top of the 8th versus the O's
Glass Half Empty / Afternoon Cloud: After 7 it was a tie ballgame, 2-2.
Then, Ogando and Cotts and Tolleson were hit like a drum in the top of 8. The O's batted around in the 8th, is that good?
After 8 the O's were winning 8-2. Ouch.
The Rangers only managed 2 runs on 5 hits through 8.
Glass Half Full / Silver Lining: Saunders pitched an OK to good game, getting the Rangers to the 7th inning only giving up 2 runs. The game was tied 2-2 after 7.
Thoughts / Observations / Sidenotes: Why can't Wash (or any manager in MLB) put in the Ranger's closer Soria (or any MLB closer) in the 8th and ask him to get 6 outs instead of 3? Everyone would need to understand that depending on the number of pitches thrown by the closer that he might not be available the next day.
