The Texas Rangers score once but the Houston Astros scored twice. The Rangers committed the sin of letting Justin Verlander settle into the game tonight as they led off the contest with a couple of baserunners but didn't plate either. Historically, with a pitcher like Verlander, you have to get to them early and Texas had their shot. Houston,…

Today marks the end of the first "half" of the 2022 season and as the All-Star Game festivities get underway, it only seems fitting that we look back on the season thus far and highlight some of the good, some of the bad, and some of the ugly that I took away from the season at this point. So put on your best Clint Eastwood grimace, clench that…

Business remains brisk in the starting pitching marketplace. While the Cardinals have yet to make a move to improve their rotation quality or depth, other franchises have been busy. The Texas Rangers signed Nathan Eovaldi to a two-year, $34 million contract that could become a three-year, $63 million contract if he hits all of his bonuses and…

The 2022 MLB season will undoubtedly be the season of Aaron Judge. Not only is the towering Yankees outfielder the frontrunner for AL MVP and leader on the current best team in baseball, but he's also already the focal point of the offseason rumor mill. Just as the season was beginning in April, Aaron Judge turned down a seven-year deal worth…

The Texas Rangers have come out swinging these past two off-seasons. Last year, they added infielders Corey Seager and Marcus Semien, as well as Jon Gray, a decent pitcher that had been stuck in Coors. In the last few months, Texas added Jake Odorizzi via trade, brought back Martín Pérez Andrew Heaney, and made a huge splash by signing Jacob…

Just being able to write about the Detroit Tigers and any sort of realistic shot at making the playoffs is so refreshing, when such thoughts have been non existent for the past five years, basically since former owner Mike Ilitch passed away. But here we are, with the much heralded prospects arriving in the major leagues and the team actually…

The Rockies won 91 games last season. They're coming off consecutive appearances in the postseason for the first time in the team's 26-year history. While they are clearly on the rise, the Rockies, swept by the Brewers in the Division Series last year, are looking to go deeper into October this year and very well might - if the offense…

Despite finishing 15 games over.500 at home, the Colorado Rockies only wound up fourth in the NL West Division last year. The team's home-road split was one of the largest in baseball history. An inability to win games away from Coors Field doomed the Rockies in the final MLB standings. Manager Bud Black will look to lead the franchise back to…

The Texas Rangers have done a fair amount of work to their rotation this off-season. Adding Jacob Degrom, Andrew Heaney, Jake Odorizzi, and Martin Perez so far. Pitching was a problem in 2022, even with the All-Star season by Perez. Gray was good, but health was an issue. With the ban of the shift, the offense should be more productive, and they…

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Maybe the Guardians starting pitchers and offense are finally reading from the same book. The offense didn't exactly splurge, but it did supply Cal Quantrill with enough runs to pitch the Guardians to a 6-3 win over the Texas Rangers in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader at Progressive Field. The Guardians have won seven of…

Major League Baseball's 2022 winter meetings blew through San Diego like a three-day whirlwind, sending Justin Verlander to the Mets, Trea Turner to the Phillies, Willson Contreras to the Cardinals, Kenley Jansen to the Red Sox and "Arson Judge" into the pantheon of baseball's greatest Twitter moments. One of our biggest takeaways from the spending…

The MLB free-agency and trade market dominoes have continued to fall at a dizzying pace since the lockout was lifted as teams try to fit three months' worth of offseason activity into just a few weeks. Despite all of the activity, high-profile stars Carlos Correa and Trevor Story are both still searching for a new home as Opening Day fast…

The Rockies stumbled to a 26-34 record in pandemic-shortened 2020 and avoided last place in the NL West by one game. More offense is a must if the Rockies are to improve. That may be tough after trading their best player, Nolan Arenado, to the Cardinals over the offseason in a cost-cutting measure. The Rockies do have another star remaining on the…

During their Scary Stretch, from July 28 to August 10, a fourteen-game stretch when the Mariners faced the Astros and Yankees twice, the team went 7-7. They opened that stretch by losing a series against Houston in pretty deflating fashion, including a 1-11 loss to Verlander and the Astros, but dusted themselves off, went into the Big Apple, and…

OAKLAND - Consider the odds for a moment. In 2013, there were nearly 475000 boys playing high school baseball in the country, according to a survey conducted by the National Federation of State High School Associations. That total was made up of 15632 schools. So, my beloved mathematicians out there, what are the chances that two of those players…

The Post's Mark W. Sanchez previews the NL West O/U wins: 97.5 Key player: Mookie Betts. For the Dodgers to be historically great - which is a real possibility - they could use their $365 million man in peak form.

The 2022 Texas Rangers team looks to be improved compared to the team that went 60-102 just one year ago. The additions of Corey Seager and Marcus Semien helps solidify the infield.

The Texas Rangers made two of the biggest splashes in free agency last year, landing All-Star infielders Marcus Semien and Corey Seager.

MLB free agency is typically dominated by the big market teams. But there tends to always be a dark-horse ball club or two that make noise. For example, the Minnesota Twins emerged out of nowhere to sign Carlos Correa last season. We could see multiple surprise signings occur during this offseason. The Baltimore Orioles have been rumored to have…

The Kansas City Royals are destined to have a better 2022 campaign than their previous season, but they will have plenty of competition along the way.
