kevin millwood Stories - Over the Monster
Wednesday a.m. stuff
Two straight complete games for Kevin Millwood. Not bad. Jeff Wilson says the message has been throw strikes, from both Mark Connor and Andy Hawkins, and it is apparently now sinking in, at least for Millwood. Millwood says it is all about confidence. Vicente Padilla couldn't throw his bullpen...
Thursday a.m. stuff
I like wins the day before an off day. Evan Grant says that this has been the most "frustrating and humiliating" year of Kevin Millwood's career, but that Millwood hopes that last night's complete game is an indication he's turning the corner and will finish strong. Anthony Andro says the key for...
Saturday morning stuff
So much for the idea that coming home would help the Rangers break out of this funk. Kevin Millwood looked good for three innings, and then started throwing BP. Richard Durrett says Millwood got booed and lamented that he didn't help the team get out of its slump yesterday, although a shutout...
Luis Mendoza sent down
Luis Mendoza has been optioned to AAA to make room for Kevin Millwood on the 25 man roster. Mild surprise, although I guess either he or Tommy Hunter would have been a reasonable choice.
Friday a.m. stuff
Thank goodness that road trip is done with. That was ugly. Tommy Hunter got shelled, and is apparently heading back to the minors today to make room for Kevin Millwood, who is being activated from the disabled list to make tonight's start. Hunter, of course, shouldn't be in the majors right now....
Wednesday a.m. stuff
I wish I had something meaningful and profound to offer after last night's fiasco. But I don't. I don't know what there is to say after something like that. Marlon Byrd sounds frustrated: "I just don't know how many times you can do this," acknowledged outfielder Marlon Byrd, who went...
Saturday morning things
I hate games in Baltimore. There is no team less interesting than the Orioles, and the games start at 6 p.m., which is too early. Games that result in a 9-1 loss in Baltimore are about the worst of all. Luis Mendoza struggled again with his command. Same story with him all year...when he can...
Thursday a.m. stuff
Rangers lose. They are now 6 back in the wild card race. And the bigger news is that David Murphy is expected to miss 2-4 weeks with a strained knee ligament. Nelson Cruz as a replacement? Nope, he's hurt. Evan Grant is saying Jason Ellison, maybe. Eddie Guardado is now the closer, although I...
Sunday morning things
Once again, the Rangers are in a position to sweep the A's. They've failed to win game 3 every time that opportunity has arisen against Oakland this season. We'll see if Eric Hurley can end that streak today. Josh Hamilton is impressed with Chris Davis's power. Chris Davis is pretty...
Trade odds
I normally would wait until the beginning of the week to do a post like this, rather than put it up on the weekend, but zywica is going to be blogging Monday and Tuesday while I make a quick jaunt to D/FW to watch a couple of Ranger games, and besides, moves are going on this weekend, which could...
