Thoughts on an 11-10 loss

M's 11, Rangers 10

  • Ugh.
  • That game really hurt.
  • In the later innings, I was mentally skipping ahead to the games in Arizona and Anaheim, wondering whether Texas could get back to .500 when they play the Astros the following week, calculating how the division stacked up.  I think that's what makes a loss like this feel especially painful...I'd already emotionally claimed the win, only to have it ripped away.
  • Starting with the pitching...Ross Detwiler was awful, again.  He allowed a pair of homers in the first inning, and then, after being given a five run lead when the Rangers scored 7 in the top of the third, he went out and walked the first batter he faced.
