MLB Watch: Texas Hot Streak Continues
Mitch Moreland blasts a home run wearing Franklin batting gloves.
words // Nick Engvall
The Texas Rangers continue to be the hottest team in baseball. They’re current 12-game winning streak has them sitting a top of the American League with a comfortable 5 game lead over the Los Angeles Angels. For the Rangers, their pitching staff has been strong but their hitting has been near the top of the league in nearly every statistical category.
Players like Mitch Moreland and Michael Young have them sitting in second place in Runs, Batting Average, and Slugging Percentage. Not to mention Adrian Beltre, Nelson Cruz and Josh Hamilton. With the current streak, it looks like the Rangers could be headed back to the post season again this year.
Do you think they can maintain this pace and make it back to the World Series?

Under Armour Signs Derrick Williams
words // Brandon Richard
via Press Release
After dropping the first domino in rookie sneaker deals earlier this month by signing Charlotte Bobcats rookie Kemba Walker to a multi-year endorsement deal, Under Armour continues to bolster their growing roster, announcing today that they’ve also signed second-overall draft pick Derrick Williams to a multi-year deal a well.
Williams, who was selected by the Minnesota Timberwolves, was the 2011 Pac-10 Player of the Year. The 6-foot-8 forward, declared for the NBA draft after his sophomore season at Arizona, averaging 19.5 points, 8.3 rebounds and shooting 56 percent from 3-point range to lead the Wildcats to the 2011 NCAA tournament Elite 8.
“Derrick had a terrific college career and emerged as an absolute force on the sport’s biggest stage,” said Matt Mirchin, Senior Vice President of Sports Marketing, Under Armour. “We love Derrick’s passion and hunger to play better every time he steps on the court. He’s a great representation for the Under Armour brand and a terrific example to all young basketball players who are dedicated to becoming game-changers.”
Williams followed up his Pac-10 Freshman of the Year campaign in 2010 by elevating his game as a sophomore. He was a finalist for the John R. Wooden Award and a second-team All-American selection. Earning him recognition on a national level was his play in the 2011 NCAA Tournament, where he led the Wildcats to the Elite 8 with a 32-point, 13-rebound performance in the regional finals.
“It’s exciting to join a young brand that brings such a strong, new voice and look to the game,” said Williams. “Under Armour is a great fit for me because they are just as passionate as I am about working hard and striving to be the best.”
With their newest acquisition, the Under Armour Basketball roster now includes Williams, Walker, Brandon Jennings and Greivis Vasquez. After landing two big fishes (and continuing to work on more) from this year’s incoming rookie class, do you think Under Armour is ready to mix it up with the larger brands in the basketball category?

Eastbay Photo of the Week: Nike Zoom Soldier V
words // Nick Engvall
Sometimes when it comes to creating a great colorway, it seems companies fall into the path of least resistence and grab something they know already works. The Cool Grey colorway is one of those colors that has been seen on countless Nike basketball shoes, as well as their casual shoes. However, just because it’s a familiar color combination doesn’t mean you should overlook the details, and the latest of the LeBron shoes is a perfect example of why.
The Cool Grey Zoom Soldier V is a can’t miss color but what really makes it, is the use of an incredible amount of textures that come together to create the landscape of a great variety. Tumbled leather wraps the toebox, while the embossed Nike Swoosh has pressed it smooth. On the ankle strap, exaggerated perforations break up the tumbled leather once again. On the lateral side of the Zoom Soldier V, Flywire is used extensively throughout the panel. Underneath the laces, a mesh tongue adds another another layer of texture while improving breathability. While the smooth finish of the tongue is embossed with the Lion crest logo that has become standard on LeBron shoes. All that, and we haven’t even touched on the neoprene inner lining, mesh on the medial side, or the outsole. Sometimes it’s crazy how a simple colorway can be so complex.
