Mitch Moreland’s excuse me double that dropped just fair and just out of everyone’s reach set the stage for a lightning fast, come-from-behind five-run rally in the Rangers 6-3 win over Baltimore. From May 6, 1992, to July 24, 1993, Mets pitcher Anthony Young lost twenty-seven consecutive decisions. Twenty-seven […]
The Rangers came into yesterday’s game having committed just four errors. They nearly matched that in one game. Ian Desmond and Delino DeShields went back to back in the bottom of the third. Rougned Odor committed the other in the bottom of the tenth. All in all, the three errors added […]
When you win 8-0 it means pretty much everything was going your way. Especially when you get five RBIs from Adrian Beltre. Of course, Derek Holland throwing six shutout innings is just the icing on the cake. That’s now seven quality starts out of eight games for the Rangers rotation. Oh, […]
Every time you think Colby Lewis is done, he proves you wrong. Every time you think he is out of gas, he finds another gear. Every time you doubt him, he makes you eat your words. Every time you think Colby is human, he shows you he isn’t. Colby Lewis […]
The Rangers finished the first week of the season 3-4, having lost one series and split one series. Next week they have three in Seattle and then return home for four against Baltimore. So, what did the first week reveal? Here are ten things: One, Cole Hamels is an ace. He […]
It took the Rangers six weeks to win two in a row last year. This season it took them six games. That’s much better. The winning combination so far seems to be Hamels to begin it and Tolleson to end it. Tolleson’s other two outings ended up in disaster. This […]
It would appear the Rangers extended spring training is over. The offense finally showed up. And the relievers didn’t make you feel as if you just turned your daughter over to Bill Cosby. Needing a win after three crushing losses in a row, the Rangers got going from the […]
Since Derek Holland could go only five innings, the outcome of last night’s game was forced into the hands of the relievers. So far this season that had been the recipe for disaster. Tom Wilhemsen, with an ERA of infinity, was called in to pitch the sixth. He got two quick outs […]
The Rangers first series is in the books and you can look at it one of two ways. They could have been 2-1. They should have been 0-3. Texas had no business winning the first game with just one hit. But they won and that’s all that matters. […]
BAD NEWS: After last night’s loss, the Rangers are 1-1. They are now on a one-game losing streak. If they continue at this pace, they would finish the season at .500. That translates to eighty-one wins. Last year, they won eighty-eight. Which means right now the Rangers are playing […]
