The rotation. 443 comments

  Baseball is a funny game. A team can be riding high, like the Rangers were on its recent ten-game home stand in which it went 8-2, and then, in an instant, and with no warning signs, the bottom falls out, like the Rangers in their last five games. The […]


What the H? 495 comments

  Carlos Beltran hit a home run that took the H off the scoreboard in Seattle. Other than that, there was nothing else to talk about. ***** TODAY’S GAME: Derek Holland (7-6, 4.57) vs. Taijuan Walker (4-10, 4.60) Game time: 9:10 How the Rangers hit against Walker How the Mariners hit […]


Elvis give and take. 538 comments

  As the Rangers inch ever so closely to the playoffs, Elvis was already in post-season form last night defensively. He committed two errors that led to three unearned runs. On top of that, the Rangers bullpen allowed three earned runs in three innings. You usually don’t see that much […]


A big Surprise. 663 comments

  A funny thing happened during yesterday’s Labor Day game between the Rangers and the Mariners. A spring training game broke out. Suddenly it was as if we were back in Surprise, Arizona, once again. Your starter goes two innings. Then you bring in a steady parade of pitchers who […]


Yuston. 306 comments

  News flash: Yu Darvish is human. Especially against Houston. The last time Darvish allowed five earned runs was also a game against Houston more than two years ago. On August 9, 2014. After that, though, he didn’t allow an earned run for another twenty-one months. Because that was his […]

When you need services defending your home or business by providing exceptional termite pest control, bed bug inspections and mosquito. Visit […]


Rangers 10, Patsies 8. 501 comments

  For a brief moment, the Houston Astros must have thought they actually had a chance. They scored two quick runs in top of the first to take a 2-0 lead. Astros faithful immediately began praying for rain. When the Rangers didn’t score in the bottom of the first, the mayor […]


The almighty save. 516 comments

Cleveland manager Terry Francona, who has won two World Series with Boston, is doing something interesting with his newly-acquired All-Star closer Andrew Miller. His closer is not always pitching in the ninth. In fact, in Miller’s twelve appearances with Cleveland so far, he has actually closed out a game four times—in perfect […]


Small, big. 147 comments

    Yesterday was a very good day for Carlos Gomez. And maybe an even bigger one for the Texas Rangers. Gomez got things started off Felix Hernandez, and then finished things off for Felix Hernandez. He showed the ability to beat you with small ball and with the long […]
