Despite the offensive output post all star break, the pitching staff has been steadily gaining steam. The deadline acquisitions of the Rangers have been playing at a high level.
Merrill Kelly, Danny Coulumbe, and Phil Maton have all played key roles in some huge Rangers wins. What has made it more apparent is how Rangers pitchers have performed post deadline that were seen as mainstays on the team prior to then.
Chris Young ignored the calls to replace some bats. Buying just pitching was bold but reinforcing of his thoughts on the teams construction. We can't go back and buy bats but can appreciate what he did do.
