Yes, Sosa overcame cold weather and a colder reception to smack a double off the wall and a 3-run home run, but Tuesday's big performer was Robinson Tejeda. Looking like the pitcher that dominated Boston in his first start, Tejeda pitched 7 innings, while giving up only 3 hits and a single run.
My opinion: Good pitching inspires offense. Ranger hitters have got to see Tejeda dominating and figure they can be patient at the plate. That patience led to three late home runs by Wilk, Sosa, and Kinsler. They didn't have to press for runs or come from behind. A good pitching performance does more than get the other team out. Need more nights like Tejeda's.
Still bothered by Young's night. Another 0 for 4. Might be trying too hard to go the other way, but pitchers are hammering him on the outside. Have they seen something? I also don't like getting all of our runs on the long ball. Don't get me wrong, ladies love the long ball, and I do too, but it seems like we lose game when we don't hit any jacks.
