Orioles Enjoy Fast Start, But Can't Hold Off Texas
Rangers 6, Orioles 4

BALTIMORE, April 27 -- There are certain responsibilities that come with being a staff ace, and Jeremy Guthrie, though still relatively new to the role, has not shied away from any of them. So he'd be the first to acknowledge that when given a multi-run lead early in the game, he's expected to maintain it.

However, it's a task the right-hander is clearly struggling with. Ten days after letting his team's seven-run lead over the Boston Red Sox slip away, Guthrie contributed to wasting an early four-run advantage over the Texas Rangers on Monday night. He allowed three runs in five innings, and the Rangers completed the comeback by scoring three more in the sixth off Matt Albers to secure the 6-4 win before an announced 10,621, the second-smallest crowd in Camden Yards history.....

Pitching will be a issue again this season.

Big surprise...

I heard on a KDFI broadcast, that the Rangers have had 100 + different pitchers move through their rosters since the BP at A opened in 1992.

So, once again, I ask:  When is pitching not an issue in Texas?

Even with Nolan Ryan as the special assistant to the GM, that is . . . ?

It will always be an issue there because of the 100 + degree heat of the day games and the wind factor in North TX. That is why the 100 + pitchers moving through their roster in 17 years is so amazing. You just don't see that kind of turnover with other squads.
