Texas Rangers backup catcher Andrew Knizner was forced to pitch in relief for the second time in a week, and he again held the opponent to multiple scoreless innings.
For the second time in the past week, the Rangers backup catcher came out of the bullpen to save the club's thin relief staff in blowout losses. With, manager Bruce Bochy called on Knizner's 46 mph heat to finish the godforsaken game with the New York Mets.
"Nobody wants to face a position player. And no position player really wants to throw, so we're just trying to get strikes in there and let's get it moving. So I don't try to really trick anybody. "There are some guys who throw one hard, one slow, and a curveball. I'm like, 'I'm not trying to do anything crazy like that.' I'm just trying not to blow my arm out and try to throw strikes as best I can.
Of course, that wasn't the case in either outing. The Rangers offense needs to remember how to score double-digit runs, anyway. It's something they did a bunch in 2023, but not so much this season.
