Cleveland Indians At Texas Rangers

... even with the Texas Rangers in the top of the eighth inning of the season-opening game at Globe Life Park in Arlington, Texas. After left fielder Michael Brantley flied out to center field for the first out of the inning, Encarnacion stepped into the batter’s box and took a 1-2 offering from Rangers reliever Matt Bush deep and over the wall in left field to make it a 5-5 game. It was Encarnacion’s first home run as a member of the Indians after signing the largest free-agent contract ever awarded by the franchise. 9:21 p.m.-INDIANS SCORE ON WILD PITCH. With one out in the top of the seventh inning after center fielder Tyler Naquin lined out to left field, Cleveland Indians third baseman Yandy Diaz slapped a double to the wall in right field and advanced to third base on a wild pitch from Texas Rangers starter Yu Darvish. Then, when right fielder Abraham Almonte swung over top of strike three on a ball in the dirt that skipped away from catcher Jonathan Lucroy, Diaz sprinted down the third-base line and cut the Rangers’ lead over the Indians to a single run, 5-4. 8:20 p.m.-JOSE RAMIREZ BELTS TWO-RUN HOMER.

Analysts, ‘experts’ Don’t Like The Rangers’ Chances

... was thrilled to hear the news that he made the roster (video by Jeff Wilson). The experts love the Houston Astros , however. They ignore the fact that the Astros were a third-place team in 2016 and think that, with all of its new additions, Team Nolan has the beef this time to go all the way. Gotta admit, I’m curious to see how Yulieski Gurriel’s continued adaptation to MLB is going to go. I like the addition of Josh Reddick to the Houston outfield, but picking up Norichika Aoki, not so much. Didn’t the Mariners waive him. The Astros have also added catcher Brian Mc Cann and designated hitter Carlos Beltran. Mc Cann hit.235 last season, was losing his job in New York, and the Yankees traded him. Beltran, who turns 40 in three weeks, spent two months with the Rangers at the end of last season and signed a drunken-sailor-like $16-million free agent contract with Houston. Indeed, Houston should be better this season. They’ve made some upgrades. The websites and the TV guys love upgrades. Uh, OK. But if the combination of Jonathan Lucroy ...

... opener against the Indians at 6 p.m. tonight. Stefan Stevenson __link__. Rangers third base coach Tony Beasley sings the national anthem before the season opener Monday night against the Indians at Globe Life Park. LM Otero AP. 1 of 8. Order Reprint of this Story. Texas Rangers third base coach Tony Beasley sang the national anthem before the game. He heard a loud round of applause before and after his fine rendition. Beasley missed most of last season while fighting rectal cancer. He was given an all-clear by doctors in December after multiple rounds of chemotherapy and multiple surgeries. Beasley also has sung the anthem before a Pittsburgh Pirates game when he and Jeff Banister were coaches there. Former Rangers president Tom Schieffer, who attended the game as a member of the club’s Hall of Fame pre-game introductions, was moved by the moment. “With all he has been through wrapped up with the excitement of Opening Day, it was a very moving moment,” Schieffer said. “It made you proud to ...

Is This The Beginning Of The End For Rangers'window Of Opportunity' To Win It All

... have won four AL West titles and two AL pennants. And while Andrus won't turn 29 until August, he can look around the room and see the obvious. The catcher, first baseman, center fielder and opening day starting pitcher will be free agents after the season. The Hall of Fame third baseman, Andrus' mentor, will turn 38 four days into the season, while sitting on the disabled list. The two starters expected to give the rotation balance will also open the season on the DL. And they, too, are free agents after the year. The rotation will include one starter developed by the organization (Martin Perez), and he was signed in 2007. None of the organization's more advanced young pitching prospects challenged for a spot in the opening day rotation this spring. That trio of pitchers - Yohander Mendez, Connor Sadzeck and Ariel Jurado - will open the season at Double-A as the Rangers try to be more "judicious" in how they ...

Texas Rangers Opening Day, John Wiley Price, Rising Housing Costs

... Reserve Bank of Dallas warns that rising housing costs are cutting into the Lone Star State’s traditional cost of living advantage in attracting business relocations. A new report shows that average apartment rents in Dallas-Fort Worth are now about $20 a month higher than the national average. Home prices in the area hit record highs last year, and median prices in February were nearly $8,000 higher than the nationwide median. The rapid rise in home and apartment costs is causing concern for economists who track moves to the state and business expansion.

The Astros, The Rangers, And Post-hype Prospects

... different, so why aren’t they the favorites. The past few seasons have seen Houston graduate top prospects George Springer, Lance Mc Cullers, Jr., Alex Bregman and Joe Musgrove. More importantly, mid-level prospects like Jose Altuve (third in 2016 MVP voting) and Dallas Keuchel (2015 Cy Young winner) have become not just good or great but elite players. Then there’s the big daddy of them all: Carlos Correa. The 2015 A. L.
