Message from the General Manager

After another blowout loss at home, GM Brian Kudron issued a statement.

"I'd like to apologize to Ranger fans in Texas and elsewhere for the poor play of the Rangers so far. It's obvious something is very wrong with our pitching, in particular, our bullpen. Two of our bullpen pitchers have an ERA over 10, and another right there, around 9. While it may ultimately prove that I must trade someone, I would like to avoid that for as long as possible. To that end, I am announcing the demotion of Relief Pitcher Juan Dominguez and Relief Pitcher Nick Regilio to AAA Oklahoma. In their place, from AAA I am calling up pitchers Ricardo Rodriguez and Vladimir Nunez. We are obviously still very early in the season, but I believe a strong start is essential to success."
