MATT HARRISON RUMORS

Harrison sharp again in Rangers win

ARLINGTON, Texas By dialing down his fastball Matt Harrison has found a way to dial up his success rate. Harrison, who made a point of focusing on location and not power before his start Monday against Seattle, was able to work that plan to perfection as the Rangers doubled up the Mariners 4-2 at Rangers Ballpark. Texas has now won four-consecutive games and matched the 1998 team...

Harrison, homers power Rangers past Mariners

8 innings. 7 hits. 2 runs. 5 strikeouts. 0 walks. I missed this Matt Harrison. So much. It was awesome to watch.  Harrison looked incredibly confident and comfortable out there.  Definitely moreso than he has in some recent starts.  Let’s hope he can continue that. The bats helped him out a little too.  Nelson Cruz put the Rangers on the board in the 2nd with a big home...

Matt Harrison shuts down Seattle in 3-1 Texas win

It took Matt Harrison nearly three dozen pitches just to get the first three outs, only to cruise through the next six innings. Two of Texas' four hits all night came in a two-pitch sequence. Josh Hamilton's biggest contribution wasn't at the plate, but two tremendous run-saving catches in the field. Maybe Ron Washington is right when he says that Texas can win without...

Harrison continues winning streak against Mariners

The Mariners seem to be kryptonite for Yu Darvish, but Matt Harrison doesn’t seem to mind them at all. Coming into tonight’s game, Harrison hasn’t lost to the Mariners since 2009. And he made sure that record held tonight, although it was in jeopardy for a little while. He had a bit of a rough 1st inning, walking two and giving up two hits.  One of those walks...

Harrison struggles in series finale

Toronto might just be the new Detroit.  My boys are clearly not fond of playing there.  At the very least, they’re not fond of pitching there.  Neftali Feliz struggled on Tuesday night, and Matt Harrison found himself in similar trouble today. I didn’t get to see the game (11:30 a.m. games are hard to watch when you work), so I can’t speculate on what Harrison...

Rangers score eight in 1st, Harrison coasts to third win

The Rangers and Tigers were rained out Friday night, but that didn’t seem to bother the Rangers’ bats or Matt Harrison at all. I forgot today’s first game started at noon, so I missed the first three runs they scored in the 1st inning.  But they weren’t done.  I saw the next five.  And enjoyed each one.  It was crazy fun.  I was wondering how they could...

MINNEAPOLIS Yu Darvish is drawing all the attention in Texas these days, but there's another member of the Rangers' rotation who should be getting a slice of it.With an eight-inning, one-run performance Friday against the Minnesota Twins, Texas left-hander Matt Harrison improved to 2-0 on the season.

Rangers' Harrison unfazed by busy offseason

Texas Rangers left-hander Matt Harrison has been too busy this offseason to worry about what the club is trying to do with its pitching staff. Being the father of a newborn daughter eats up a lot of your free time. But Harrison, who won 14 games for the Rangers in 2011, has seen the team linked to right-hander Roy Oswalt. With the addition of Yu Darvish, Texas already has six starters...
