Went over to Lone Star Ball to lurk and gloat and learned some interesting stats:
1. Mariners outscored Rangers 21-10 in the series.
2. Mariners scored 9 homeruns, the Rangers scored 1.
3. LHB's scored two homeruns against Hamels all last year, and two in game 1.
4. The consensus is that the Texas bullpen has the yips but will probably be fine because of the many power arms, but the Texas hitting has been terribad. The Rangers have two highly regarded relief pitchers in reserve in AAA.
5. Rangers got off to an atrocious slow start last year as well.
6. The Mariners played them very tough last year, despite the Mariners' shortcomings against other teams.
7. Colby Lewis' outing was par for his course.
