******

One item deserves comment: Brandon League's meltdown was not Brandon League's fault. Of the six batters he faced in his 4th run 6th inning appearance (after he entered with two outs), four hit groundballs, one struck out and one hit a line drive. And the line drive came after back to back to back groundballs, any of which could have been converted into the 3rd out to end the frame. Instead, Rangers batters reached on all three, two of which beat SS Josh Wilson.

For any and all help that Josh Wilson has provided at the plate, his defense at SS has been fairly bad, and Jack Wilson's return would likely upgrade the fielding at that position. Wilson is not a long term solution at SS, not because of his hitting (which it turns out might actually be useful) but because you don't want his relative lack of range at SS everyday if you're a defense-first team.

So in any case, many will point to this outing as a Brandon League meltdown, but Brandon League pitched fine. His defense let him down, and Ryan Rowland-Smith did far more to give the game away early with one of his worst pitching performances in what's been a pretty bad season for the embattled Aussie.
