Spring games don't matter much, but they do to two Rangers pitchers | Fort Worth Star-Telegram

The first Cactus League game on the Texas Rangers' spring schedule is in the books, and it's important to provide the annual public-service message.

Spring games just don't matter much. For the most part (see items 1 and 4 below).

They will matter at some point to players vying for roster spots, but not now. Pitchers usually get a mulligan, which is good for Connor Sadzeck. Most hitters have been in camp only a week and have barely seen live pitching.

They will get a little time to find a rhythm, too.

Never miss a local story.
