It is all about the antlers and the claw, baby...
William Wilkerson has a story about how the Rangers' players doing the claw and the antlers has sparked a craze among fans...
On the antlers side, T.R. Sullivan has a story about the Rangers' speed being a weapon for the team, and goes impressively deep into the statistics. Not only does he cite the Rangers' 162 infield hits and 106 advancements from first to third, both of which lead the league, he also references the Ranger outfielders' UZR as evidence of their fleetness afoot in tracking down balls to the outfield.
It is worth a read, because it covers a topic we've discussed quite a bit (and that has led to some frustration), with Sullivan talking about the team being too aggressive on the basepaths at times, and Ron Washington saying that the aggressive mistakes made earlier in the year are paying off now, as the Rangers players have a better idea what they can and can't do.
