ARLINGTON - Spring training ended Tuesday afternoon with perfect imagery: A runner was placed on second base in the ninth inning to expedite things in a tie game.
In other words: Let's get this thing over with, fellas.
In case you were wondering, Zack Granite, who would later be optioned to Triple-A Nashville stole third and scored on a bloop hit by minor leaguer Franklin Rollin giving the Rangers a 5-4 win over Cleveland and what was left of the announced crowd of 11,500 tickets sold went home happily to their little stubs.
It was a mostly fine six weeks for the Rangers - save for unusually dreary Arizona weather.
