Marveling at Nathan Eovaldi's second complete game shutout as a Ranger

KRLD-FM / 105.3 The Fan

The Rangers only gave Nathan Eovaldi one run of support in last night's game, but he made it count. He completed a masterful shutout of the Reds in a 1-0 victory, his second complete game shutout as a Ranger. K&C discuss why the Rangers needed a pitching performance like this with the bullpen as depleted as it's been early in the season. Plus, did Bruce Bochy call this yesterday???

00:00Now, he was phenomenal.

00:18And it's really funny if you go back to that first game, I know we get lost in the result

00:23and obviously Garrett crochet, but he was excellent Nate in the first game as well.

00:29And so this is a hell of a start for him.

00:32Oh, yeah.

00:33And what do you think that Kumar Rocker is thinking as Nate of Aldi is wrapping that

00:38game up.

00:39If you're Kumar Rocker and you just had a tough outing the way I did in Cincinnati,

00:44and then the dude who is like the ace on your team, I know to Graham is the best pitcher

00:49on the planet, right?

00:50Like that's what he is.

00:51Nate of Aldi is the best pitcher on your team because he's done it for three years.

00:56He won your World Series.

00:58He's the guy you trust to go out there and give you the Colby Lewis type Bulldog mentality.

01:03Don't, don't worry about it.

01:04Just trust me guys.

01:05And if I'm Rocker, I'm sitting there going, I have to go back and rewatch every pitch

01:09of this game because I want to know what he did and what he did yesterday.

01:14He took a great plan into the game.

01:16It was different.

01:17What did he do in the first game?

01:18He threw a curveball a lot through his curveball because he knew Boston was looking curveball

01:23yesterday.

01:24They're on that splitter, just killing them.

01:26And even that L.A.

01:27Daily Cruz looked clueless.

01:28He was like, I don't know how to hit this guy today.

01:30It was awesome to watch a volley, get up on the mound and dominate the way that he did

01:34yesterday.
