Darvish is looking pretty damn good. I don't think he's settled in just yet though.

I know the season just started..but is it possible? The best record in MLB history in a 162 game season? This team looks incredibly dominant.
Darvish is looking pretty damn good. I don't think he's settled in just yet though.
God no he hasn't. He still has a LOT of work to do on his command. But a good outing for the amount of pitches he threw, and considering the fact that they get about 6 days off in Japan. They'll mold him well. We know how good Texas is with pitchers.
Darvish is getting better every game but he still has got to start lowering his walk totals. At least four every start is not gonna cut it. I'd rather he get hit for single after single than give them a free pass.
yep...I'm sure he'll be fine..he's pitching a lot more than he's used to right now, and they need to work on his command. Give it a little more time.
Missed the game tonight cuz I play ball on Thursdays. Sucks I didn't get a chance to watch Darvish. Wasn't all that excited about Wilk as the starter anyway, a soft tossing minor leaguer against the power right handed bats of Texas. And looks from the boxscore Schlereth the bed again. Tigers need Fister to get back asap. But I heard his progress hasn't been promising so far. Hopefully the next couple games go better for the Tigers. Rangers stay crazy hot for the start of the year. Cheers.
Rangers look all kinds of nasty
Gracias, sir...gracious in victory, gracious in defeat. I'm sure they'll bounce back tomorrow.
If they were to somehow stay fully healthy, then MAYYYYYYYYYYYBE they could get fortunate and challenge it. Considering all the injuries they faced last year, and still won 96 is something to definitely feel good over.
But chances of them having such minimal injuries? Slim to none when you have guys like Hamilton, Kinsler, Cruz, and Beltre as 4 of your top 5 players, who all seem injury prone.
100 wins definitely is more than possible though.
I know I'm probably getting ahead of myself..just a little overexcited.
in terms of talent and having a stacked roster with minimal holes, this team is as complete and talented of a team as you will see. about the only "holes" this team has is lack of experience in a few players (and maybe Joe Nathan but its too early to say that), but i think they are very minor holes that are quite easy to overcome. They still have a loaded lineup that doesn't have a single easy out (and 3 hitters who would likely be #1 hitters on quite a few teams in the MLB, between Hamilton, Napoli, and Beltre, and even an argument for Kinsler and Cruz on some teams), and they have 3 playoff and WS tested starting pitchers as well as a loaded bullpen.
There really isn't much to NOT like about this team, in terms of how much success they should have.
Honestly IMO, barring injuries, there is no reason they shouldn't win the World Series this year. Anything less, is a MASSIVE disappointment. It was a massive disappointment that they lost last year, and they are definitely a superior team this year with the added experience (particularly in the pitching staff).
Agree 100%...this team should have been given their WS championship rings this year, but made a few mistakes, and let it fall between their fingers. They won't let it happen again.
Ranger Poster i salute your start.
I have no doubt that Scoscia will get the MultiAngels back on track
Stretch with the homer goods
Homer? Have you sat down and watched a full Rangers game yet this year? They're beyond ridiculous right now. If they stay at this pace, they could definitely reach 100 wins.
didn't even know we were playing this early. crofl we're up 8-0 in the 1st inning
So much for Hamilton's day game struggles.
This team is scary good right now..
Rangers scored 8 runs in the first against the Tigers and there wasn't a single visit to Porcello on the mound by the pitching coach or manager. And he started the 2nd and proceeded to continue to get knocked around before finally getting pulled.
Detroit should forfeit this game so we can start the next one already
God damn what a killing. Beltre made me nervous grabbin that hammy earlier.
If you ever need to give up a HR in the late innings, just put in Uehara.
