Off-Day Blues?
Ranger radio broadcaster Victor Rojas said the following in his entertaining blog “The Spoils:�
Back to back series now the Rangers have lead off with a win...I don't exactly know what the numbers are, but as I recall over the last couple of years the Rangers never seemed to fare well in the first day back from an off-day...that's not the case so far.
Fortunately for Texas and unfortunately for Mr. Rojas, he’s wrong. During his tenure (2004-present) the Rangers have a record of 22-13 after a single day off:
11-5 in 2004
9-8 in 2005
2-0 in 2006
Texas did lose six of its last ten after a day off in 2005, so perhaps the recent past has colored his recollection.
UPDATE: Changed from 23-13 to 22-13 upon further review.
