World Series Game 2: Texas Rangers bullpen stumble again

Fans of Texas Rangers’ bullpen were left fuming after the run of bad performances, a disatrous follow-up to the ALCS Game 1 loss incurred against the Yankees.

Texas Rangers bullpen seem to be on a suicide mission as they imploded again versus the San Francisco Giants in a staggering loss margin of 0-9. The clear win in the World Series Game 2 on gives the San Francisco Giants an upper hand in the series, as they lead 2-0.

The Rangers better pull up their socks or they face the wrath of disappointed fans that have stuck to them through their dismal outings. They need to deliver now in the future postseason matches.

The only saving grace was starting pitcher for Texas C.J. Wilson who did a good job of keeping the Rangers in the hunt through 6 1/3 innings. But he retired hurt with a blister on his pitching hand, that compounded the woes of his toothless team.

Derek Holland, reliever for Texas ,was public enemy number 1 for Texas Rangers fans as he gave three runs, allowing them on three walks. Equally wasteful was Mark Lowe, Ranger pitcher who gave two more runs, that too on one hit and a walk. Lowe now has a staggeringly high series run average at 67. Now San Francisco can boast of leading the series , slated to be a best-of-seven event. All eyes are glued to Game 3 on home turf Texas on Saturday night.
