The Rangers have to figure out a way to solve Seattle’s pitching staff, one of the best in baseball.
Texas Rangers right fielder Adolis Garcia swings at a pitch during the sixth inning against the Seattle Mariners, Tuesday, April 23, 2024, in Arlington. The Mariners defeated the Rangers 4-0.LOS ANGELES — There is still more than half a season to play. It’s too early to call a single series critical. Then again, Seattle offers all the obstacles that could, in fact, define these Rangers.
Where the Mariners are concerned, the numbers just don’t add up well for the Rangers. Put simply: Seattle throws more four-seamers than most teams and gets better results. On the other end: The Rangers face a lot of four-seamers and are among the least productive against the pitch. “There are no guarantees, but when you’ve got a strong rotation, they tend to keep you in games longer,” Bochy said. “And the more games you stay in, the more you end up having a chance to win.”Bochy’s Theory of Starting Pitching helps explain why Seattle began play Thursday with a run differential only 11 runs better than the Rangers, but such a big lead.
