Sit/Start: Wednesday’s (5/15) Probable Pitchers

Albert Pujols hit a monster homerun, and Barry Zito got tattooed by the Blue Jays. Maybe baseball is predictable after all. Then again, the umps blew two more easy calls, and Mitch Moreland and Howie Kendrick hit their 8th and 6th HRs respectively. So maybe not. To be fair, I think a vortex opens a tear in space-time if Adam Dunn beats out an infield grounder, so the first base umpire...

Moreland’s two home runs help Rangers edge A’s

Tonight’s game felt a little like a late season game.  Even though it’s only May, I was hanging on every pitch at the very end.  And my heart was pounding.  Man, baseball can be such a rush.  And such a downer at times too. Mitch Moreland can’t be feeling too down lately.  He’s been on fire this month.  Tonight, he hit two home runs, and the second one — a solo shot...

Rangers bats quiet in 5-1 loss

Flat. There’s no better word to describe how the Rangers looked tonight in Oakland. It’s like they didn’t want to be there.  And who can blame them?  With banjo music in the 6th inning, who would want to be there? Justin Grimm would probably like to forget the entire month of May.  His ERA has inflated from 1.59 to 4.28 in his three May starts.  The Athletics roughed him...

Daily FanDuel Picks: May 9, 2013

Umm…whoops.I guess there’s a reason you don’t pick starting pitchers that cost $2,600. Allen Webster got rocked for eight earned runs in just 1.2 innings and completely tanked any chances my team had of finishing in the money. The elite offense I purchased didn’t do much with Mitch Moreland of all people posting my lineup’s only notable contributions. All-in-all, what a...

Brewers acknowledge need to execute better

MILWAUKEE -- The mood of a clubhouse as bags are packed for a road trip can usually can be a pretty telling sign of how the previous homestand went as a whole. The Milwaukee Brewers have had three homestands thus far, all to one extreme or the other. As bags were packed in preparation of Thursday's trip to Cincinnati, Milwaukee's mood was one of frustration after a 4-1 mistake...

Rangers 4, Brewers 1

Derek Holland allowed one run over seven shaky innings and the Texas Rangers benefited from two Milwaukee baserunning blunders to beat the Brewers 4-1 Wednesday night. Holland (3-2), who struck out six and walked none, yielded 10 hits - including two in the second, three in the third and three in the sixth. He escaped with the help of some sloppy baserunning by the Brewers, who...

Holland helps Rangers end losing streak

I’m not even going to begin to speculate why Derek Holland seems so mentally solid this year.  But I’m certainly grateful for it. Tonight, he pitched seven innings, allowing just one run on 10 hits.  He even navigated a few innings full of defensive nightmares, not letting them snowball into a slew of runs.  That’s maturity at play. At the same time, I want to know who broke...

Brewers go for short sweep of Rangers tonight

The Texas Rangers have played one team that currently possesses a winning record this season, earning a recent three-game sweep against one of the best teams in baseball. They've been pretty average against the rest. Texas sends Derek Holland to the mound looking to avoid a third consecutive defeat as it concludes its two-game interleague series with the host Milwaukee Brewers...

Brewers strike first, Rangers can’t rally

Justin Grimm had an outstanding April — two wins, an ERA of 1.59, and earning AL Rookie of the Month honors.  But May hasn’t been so kind for the Reaper.  Tonight, his ERA ballooned a little more as he gave up five runs in the 1st inning — on three singles, a double and a home run. It was hideous, but I tried to stay optimistic. It was only the 1st inning after all, and I...
