Darvish feels good heading into Tuesday start
ARLINGTON, Texas While some people may be concerned about how the 130-pitch outing by Yu Darvish in his last start will impact him Tuesday, Darvish isn't one of them.
The right-hander, who is scheduled to pitch against Oakland Tuesday, hasn't changed anything about his routine since he beat the Tigers Thursday.
"I didn't have much fatigue after the 130 pitches...

Ian Kinsler - 15 Day DL - Intercoastal Strain

Elvis Andrus responds to leadoff role with five hits
ARLINGTON, Texas Elvis Andrus said all the right things about not wanting to take Ian Kinsler's spot as the Rangers' leadoff hitter. But his bat spoke even louder.
Andrus was a career-best 5-for-5 while hitting first in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Tigers.
Andrus also scored three runs, drove in two, stole two bases and was a home run shy of the cycle.
It was his second...

Yu Darvish’s High Pitch Count Against Tigers No Reason to Hold Ron Washington’s Feet to Fire
Looking to kill some time? Stare at the wall or argue about pitch counts. It doesn’t really matter, because each activity will leave you shaking your head when you decide to rejoin society.
Yu Darvish tossed 130 pitches in eight innings against the Tigers on Thursday despite the Rangers leading 10-4. Manager Ron Washington’s decision to leave Darvish in the game for so long has...
Yu Darvish Early Favorite For A.L. Cy Young?
Thursday’s Detroit Tigers-Texas Ranger’s game in Texas had the potential to feature a pitching duel for the ages.
Unfortunately for Detroit however, their resident ace, Justin Verlander, wasn’t able to fulfill his end of the deal. Lasting just over two innings, Verlander allowed eight earned runs

Darvish made Cabrera look silly on curveball
Does anyone have a more wicked pitching arsenal than Yu Darvish? The Texas Rangers stud pitcher matched up with Justin Verlander on Thursday in a game that surprisingly turned into a slugfest. While Verlander was rocked and couldn’t make it through three innings, Darvish got through eight to pick up his seventh win of the season. But there was one moment in particular that must...
Derek Holland does it again last night.
Look. Derek Holland is slowly coming down to earth, just like I thought he would. Every year he has real trouble repeating his mechanics from one start to the next and even from one inning to the next. He tends to throw clothesline-straight fastballs which get slapped all over the outfield at the worst possible times resulting in blow-up innings and perturbed visits to the mound...
The Texas Rangers may eventually fade, their record is fools gold….
This club’s record is fool’s gold. Their brainless trust has made a series of stupid personnel moves which will culminate in many more games a like the one we just witnessed last night as the season progresses. There is no way on earth Texas’ offense can compensate for the 230(+) RBI’s that they surrendered by not keeping Josh Hamilton and CHRIS DAVIS, who, if you’ll recall...
