Cy Young candidate Dallas Keuchel came into yesterday’s game an amazing 14-0 at home. 15-0 would be a record for undefeated home wins in a single season. He got that. Talk about the opposite of a road warrior. After yesterday’s sparkling 4-2 victory over the Rangers, Keuchel is now […]

  Here are a couple things to think about as the Rangers stare down the final eight games of the regular season. This thing is far from over and far from won. It sure is nice to have a three-and-a-half game lead with eight to play. But the Rangers had […]
