The first two weeks of the season are in the books and there’s one question on everyone’s mind: What if nobody wins the A.L. West? Every day there is a new leader. Win two games in a row and you are running away with the division. Lose two in a […]
A game like last night’s has so many noteworthy moments and plays, with fourteen hits, with two-double performances from Delino DeShields and Mitch Moreland, with Nomar Mazara collecting three hits and a walk, with the Rangers taking advantage of some sloppy Orioles plays in the seventh, with the patience […]
Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre signed a contract extension that will keep the face of the franchise in Arlington for two more seasons after this year. There couldn’t have been better news yesterday. Then the game started. The Rangers hit their second home run last night at the Ballpark this season. […]
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 […]

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 […]
