The Rangers haven't played one of these -- a scoring fest -- too many times this season, but that's what their third game of the week at Oakland as morphed into after a low-scoring start. The Rangers take a 9-7 lead into the seventh inning after the teams exchanged runs in...
An idle question

Let's assume Kevin Millwood didn't have a vesting option for 2010. He either was under contract for 2010, or is a free agent after 2009, either way.
Given that this season is toast, and given that Millwood has been horrible for 2+ months, wouldn't the organization...

Ok. My apologies that I didn't have this up sooner. But no one had Brandon McCarthy lasting just 3 innings.
Jimbo and Flip had David Murphy as the Ranger with the most hits. Larry B had the bullpen allowing two runs. No one else had any other category correct.

Good news: It's not raining. Bad news: It has rained enough that the tarp is on the field. The belief, though, is that the game will start on time and be played with minimal interruption. That's good.
The Rangers will start Dustin Nippert on Wednesday after rain scrambled...

The Rangers now head to Cleveland, hoping to stop a 2-game losing streak. No one figured Derek Holland would struggle like he did. Holland line: 3.1 IP, 6 H, 6 R, 6 ER, 3 BB,6 K, 91 pitches.
The closest was Blay Hanklock, who had Holland giving up 5 runs in 4.1 IP. Hanklock also...
Should Derek Holland be taken out of the rotation?

I'm surprised we're even asking this question after a stretch in late July and early August where Derek Holland really pitched well and, even when he couldn't go 6 innings, left with his team squarely in it.
But his last 3 starts are a different story. He allowed 6 runs...

Rookie left-hander Derek Holland has allowed three runs and been replaced with the bases loaded an one out in the fourth inning. Dustin Nippert is in with the Rangers trailing 5-0. Holland, it appears, didn't care for Joe West's strike zone. It also appears that Holland might...

The Rangers once again showed they can bounce back. After a bad 18-10 loss on Monday, Texas swept a doubleheader today. It appears Boston is going to win, so the Rangers will only gain a 1/2 game on them. But the Rangers really needed the two solid games they got from Dustin Nippert...

The Rangers really needed that game and got it. Some late runs padded a one-run lead and Dustin Nippert, Neftali Feliz and Frank Francisco did a very nice job to get the win. You can join our live in-game chat, which continues through Game 2, here.

Derek Holland's tough outing made no one a winner last night. In fact, the whole game made a mess of things here. Dr_waller had Doug Mathis as the first reliever in the game. And Blaze had Taylor Teagarden as the Ranger with the most hits.

You know, after the game was over, I tried to think of some cool way to say how great this win was. I thought and thought, and couldn't come up with something good. All I wanted to say was "Man, that game felt great. The Yankees lost." This felt better than most Ranger...
