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.
01:02We're going to win today.
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.
01:13He executed pitches.
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.
