    They never asked him about protecting the pitcher. But good Nolan Ryan stories. I'm starting to warm to pudge.

    Lance striking out 7 of the first 9 batters. Hopefully he can keep his pitch count low. I'd love to see him go strikeout 15+ tonight.

    Yeah, they care about talking to Pudge and his Ranger awesomeness. Save it for a local game, not a national one.

    So are these ranger announcers for the game? Do I need to turn the volume down? Ugh ...Thank God we are winning these announcers would be unbearable.

    Yup. CJ Nitkowski and some other dude who grew up going to games at the Rangers stadium watching Pudge. Or so he said.

    One of my favorite Ryan stories is from Moneyball. A couple of the coaches were talking with Durham about their stolen base totals and how Durham wasn't allowed to steal. Durham asked if there was a situation that they didn't steal back in the day. They said they were scared to steal on Ryan. They were worried he would bean them the next time they faced him.

    3 of their hits have been weak infielders.

    Great play by Correa and Marwin.
