Analyzing the Analysis of the Texas Rangers First Three MLB Draft Picks
The MLB draft is different from the amateur drafts in most of the other mainstream sports, especially the NFL and NBA. The difference is that the majority of the public does not know who any of the players taken in the draft are. There are just too many amateur players, and not enough exposure for [...]
TweetA Rant After the Texas Rangers Lose to the Los Angeles Angels 3-2
Frustrating baseball is frustrating. The Texas Rangers lost to the Los Angeles Angels 3-2 on Saturday night. You’ll notice I said they lost to the Angels. I would not say the Angels beat the Rangers. The Rangers gave this game away in a nicely gift-wrapped present to the Angels. This was the second night in [...]
TweetSeries Preview: Texas Rangers and Los Angeles Angels
For the second time in the 2012 season, the Texas Rangers and Los Angeles Angels (no longer of Anaheim) will clash in a battle of AL West division foes. The Rangers have stood atop the division all year long, while the Angels have recently sprung out of last place into 2nd behind the Rangers. The [...]
TweetRoy Oswalt Signing With the Texas Rangers Generates More Questions than Answers
According to multiple reports, the Texas Rangers and Roy Oswalt have agreed to terms on a one-year contract, worth $5 million plus a possible additional $1 million in incentives. The Texas Rangers are already arguably the best team in baseball, and this move only adds to the depth of their current pitching staff, which already [...]
TweetMike Napoli Showing Signs Of Life After Slow Start
The Texas Rangers topped the Seattle Mariners 4-2 on Monday night in the opener of a three-game series. The game-deciding play was a three-run home run by Rangers catcher, Mike Napoli. His 6th-inning blast that went 401 feet to right field was all that Matt Harrison and Joe Nathan would need to seal the Rangers [...]
TweetTexas Rangers Forget Southern Hospitality, Destroy Toronto Blue Jays
The Texas Rangers returned from their first off day in three weeks with a vengeance on Friday night, smashing the Toronto Blue Jays 14-3 in a game that wasn’t even that close. The Rangers jumped on the Blue Jays early by scoring six runs in the first inning, knocking starter Brandon Morrow from the game [...]
TweetNaked Streaker Interrupts Cardinals-Phillies Game
A naked streaker ran onto the field at Busch Stadium in St. Louis on Thursday night, disrupting a game between the St. Louis Cardinals and the Philadelphia Phillies. People run onto baseball fields, albeit not often enough to say it happens often, but it happens. However, people certainly don’t run onto the field completely naked often. [...]
TweetTexas Rangers Lineup is Struggling – Or Is it?
After a 17-6 record in the month of April, the Texas Rangers have gone 10-12 during 22 games in the month of May. The Rangers are coming out of a 20 games in 20 days stretch in which they went 10-10, ending with a 4-6 mark against Kansas City, Oakland, Houston, and Seattle – not the strongest of competition. Despite still holding [...]
TweetThe Seattle Mariners are Kryptonite for Yu Darvish
Yu Darvish suffered through his worst outing of the year on Monday night against the Seattle Mariners in Safeco Field. This is unusual, because a) Darvish has been really good, b) the Mariners offense is pretty lousy, and c) Safeco Field is a dream park for pitchers. The final line for Darvish was four innings [...]
TweetRoy Oswalt Becomes Another Stone Turned Over by Rangers
According to several reports, Roy Oswalt threw under the observation of the Texas Rangers on Friday. The 34-year old pitched for the Philadelphia Phillies in 2011, but entered and exited the offseason as a free agent, and is now looking for a landing spot in 2012. Oswalt had a successful campaign for Philadelphia, posting a [...]
