00:00After Friday night's game, you just didn't feel great again after you lose to the angels.
00:23You had bases loaded a couple times against the angels.
00:26You didn't take advantage of it.
00:28You lose a game in LA, and you're like, okay, yeah, you still won the series.
00:32And then you go to Houston and immediately don't look good offensively.
00:36And you're like, wait, was that a, was that fluky?
00:40That stretch that the Rangers had for, I don't know, I'm going to guess 10 to 12 games or
00:45so.
00:46It might've been longer than that.
00:47Or were we coming out of a somewhat couple month long funk and getting back into the
00:55team that we believe we have, one of the best offensive teams in baseball to start
00:59the season.
01:00And you got done with the Houston series.
01:02I'll just fast forward and you win two out of three.
01:05And that is huge, but it's weird because you didn't hit really in the series to win.
01:11It was all pitching that won you that series.
01:15That and, uh, when we talk about fits and starts offense, you're right.
01:18It wasn't all pitching, but you had to have phenomenal pitching.
01:22You sure did.
01:24And thankfully you got a little bit from this man here, cut three Alec, because he gave
01:28you just enough to get you some wins.
01:30Here's the pitch, a swing and a drive deep to right field.
01:34That goes looper Fido at the wall.
01:35That ball is history.
01:37It's a two home run game for Josh Smith.
01:41He's doing it by himself.
01:42The Rangers lead four to one.
01:44All right.
01:45So that was huge there because I felt like the Rangers weren't going to score the rest
01:50of that game before that happened.
01:53So the Rangers in this game, and this is going to be similar to Saturday's game.
01:57The Rangers got a lead off hit from Marcus Simeon.
02:00They got a home run from Josh Smith.
02:02Sure did.
02:03Did you just hear that highlight?
02:04Yeah.
02:05That was their other hit of the game.
02:06That was it.
02:07Josh Smith hit two, two run homers in the first inning Simeon singles, Corey Seager
02:13hits into a force play.
02:15And so Corey Seager is on base and then Josh Smith hits the home run.
02:19When the Rangers get no hit from that point on until you get to the eighth inning and
02:24Corey Seager draws a walk and Josh Smith hits a home run.
02:27It counts.
02:28It's a win right now.
02:29A win is a win.
02:30You kind of get to the point where you're like, you want to see consistently good play
02:35because then you can believe that they're going to go on a magical run.
02:40Plus that's the stuff that projects forward, right?
02:42Like the things that project forward is the process.
