Wash said he looked and felt like Ogando could have completed the game, but a blister cut him short...
You know, the one very large question mark the Rangers had this year was Pitching...I know it's very early in the season, but I'm more than happy with the staff this year so far. We just need to keep these guys healthy, and keep the offense hot...

Not to always be negative but,
The Rangers' pitching will regress.
Right now, Rangers' starters have a 2.26 ERA.
We can be sure that that isn't going to continue. Playing around with some stats:
Using Batted Ball FIP (my current favorite toy), we get that the Rangers' starters' ERA's should be:
Lewis 3.64 (actual ERA=5.25)
Wilson 2.52 (2.84)
Harrison 1.88 (1.29)
Holland 3.80 (2.25)
Ogando 6.13 (0.00)
TEAM 3.49 (2.26)
Batted Ball FIP uses a pitchers' walks, strike outs, ground balls, fly balls, line drives, infield fly balls, and bunts to estimate ERA using the linear weights for each event.
Rangers' pitchers have been very 'lucky' so far this season. The starters' BABIP is .232. Last year it was .284. With Beltre replacing Young at 3rd the Rangers do have better defense, but not 50 points of BABIP better.
Ogando's gonna give up some runs sooner or later.

Everything's not negative in Texas though,
Houston starters have an ERA of 6.34. BBFIP says it should only be 5.07 though.

Dude, we were in the Series last year and are now 9 and 2, in the first 11 games. I think you are a little too much of the "sky is always falling crowd". Take a chill pill
