The Texas Rangers and Jason Jennings continue to play bad baseball.  However, we might not be seeing Jennings on the mound for quite a while as he left last nights game against the Kansas City Royals in the third inning with an irritated ulnar nerve in his right arm.

Jennings had already given up eight hits and five runs in the first two innings of the game.  Jennings dropped his record to 0-5 on the season.  I really doubt we will see Jennings in the starting rotation once he does come back from this nasty injury.

Scott Feldman and Joaquin Benoit both gave up two more runs each as they pitched in relief for the Rangers.  Jamey Wright and Frank Francisco both pitched an inning each as well and did not allow a run to cross the plate.

At the plate for the Rangers it was five guys all recording one RBI each.  Michael Young, Josh Hamilton, David Murphy, Jarrod Saltalamacchia, and Ramon Vazquez all had one RBI each.

Ian Kinsler was ejected from the game in the first inning when he argued a called third strike.

The Texas Rangers got hammered by the Detroit Tigers 8-2 on Thursday.  You can look at a couple stats to see why the Rangers only scored two runs.  They left 19 runners on base and struckout 10 times.  Can’t win the game doing that sort of stuff.

Jason Jennings took the loss which was his fourth of the season.  Jennings threw five innings and gave up five hits and five earned runs.  Jennings gave up three home runs in the game.

Kazuo Fukumori came in to pitch 2.1 innings and didn’t fare much better then Jennings did.  Fukumori gave up five hits, three runs, and two home runs.

At the plate for Rangers, Michael Young connected for a solo home run in the first inning.  David Murphy recorded a RBI with a bases loaded walk in the fifth inning as well.  The Rangers just didn’t take advantage of runners on base when they needed to.  Bad performance by pretty much everyone.

The Texas Rangers had the Los Angeles Angels number as they had won seven of the last eight games against the Angels but on Monday night it was the Angels who came out on top by the score of 7-4.

All the Rangers could get going was three runs in the 1st inning off.  After that they were not able to score again until the 8th inning.  Hank Blalock had the big hit that was a two-run home run in the first inning.  Blalock finished the game with three RBI and Michael Young contributed with one RBI.

Jason Jennings picked up another loss for the Rangers.  Jennings record now stands at 0-3 on the season and he really needs to turn it around before he gets demoted out of the starting rotation.  Jennings only pitched 4.2 innings and allowe seven hits and six earned runs.  When your starting pitcher gives up six earned runs, usually you are going to lose the game, just like the Rangers did.

The Texas Rangers once again played a terrible game and this time they lost to the Baltimore Orioles by the score of 8-1.  I was really expecting the Rangers to come out and play a lot better then they did.  They got behind early in the game, and were never able to crawl there way back into it.

Jason Jennings received his second loss of the short season already as he only lasted 4.2 innings while giving up seven hits and four earned runs.  He also gave up two longballs on the day.  Jamey Wright and Josh Rupe didn’t have much luck either as they let give more runs score combined.

Ian Kinsler was the lone Rangers player to have an RBI on the day.  Terribler performance all the way around by the Rangers.

The Texas Rangers picked up a starting pitcher on Thursday to add to their starting pitching rotation.  Jason Jennings and the Rangers agreed on a one year deal worth $4 million dollars.  Jennings got a pretty deal from the Rangers who really need some pitching help.  I don’t know if I agree with that amount of money, but when you need pitching you are going to have to pay for it.

What do you other Ranger’s fans think?  Did they overpay for Jason Jennings?
