Rangers knuckleball pitcher Eddie Gamboa wanted to pound the zone no matter the consequences Saturday against the Athletics at Hohokam Stadium.
Gamboa’s goal for the day was to force the A’s to put the ball in play against his defense.
After walking three in his last start (and allowing three unearned runs) Gamboa wanted to rectify that in his third spring outing.
Having them put the ball in play and having them in swing mode, as a knuckleballer, that’s what I want to do.
Rangers RHP Eddie Gamboa
For the most part, he did just that.
