Darvish would have only cost money, no assets. How tragic.

Impressive stuff from Drabek so far outside of that walk.

he's doign no such thing, those are legitimate calls if you're watching pitch fx or game day, Drabek is legitimately having a fantastic start

To think AA gave Texas Napoli and let them have Darvish... small blemish on his resume thx to Jon Daniels.

The starting pitching continues to exceed consensus expectations so far this year. It's the bullpen and offense - the team's supposed two strengths - that have really let them down.

RISP

Funny since we've never been known for "clutch" hitting. In the past I always felt we left a ton of runners on base. Just imagine what will happen when our guys start returning to their normal batting averages.

Great inning there from Drabek. Let's get some hits!

Darvish definitely looking good so far. It was a big risk to sign him, as Japanese starters panning out in the Majors for an extended period of time is very rare, but the Rangers had the money so why not?

Darvish is making them look like little leaguers.

Time to start drinking a lot of beer and enjoy a phenomenal pitching performance. Still holding out hope, but things aren't looking good. At least Drabek's holding his own so far.

That was a mistake on 0-2 to Jose, missed it anyway. He's missing everything right now.
