ARLINGTON, Texas -- Texas right-hander Colby Lewis isnt exactly where he wants to be with his pitching as he tries to get ready for the postseason. Cory Spangenberg Jersey .Hes getting close though.Lewis (6-2), who missed two months with a strained right lat, makes his second start since coming off the disabled list Sunday when the Rangers close the series against Oakland and left-hander Ross Detwiler.Texas is closing in on the American League West title with a magic number of five despite their 11-2 loss to Oakland on Saturday. Theyll need a solid Lewis if theyre to have any success in the postseason.Lewis, the likely No. 3 starter in the playoffs, went 5 1/3 innings in a 3-2 loss to Los Angeles last week. Lewis allowed three runs on seven hits and threw 86 pitches. Getting built back up as far as his pitch count is Lewis priority now.I feel like theres still a little bit left that I need to tighten up, making sure its really just getting my pitch count back and not really worrying about my innings, Lewis said. I still think theyre going to be leery about me going out there and throwing a bunch of them. They want to make sure I stay nice and healthy and be ready for postseason. I think its that way with all the starters now. Theyre not going to let guys throw 120 pitches before they go out there for the playoffs.Lewis was on track for an All-Star caliber season before he got hurt as he opened the season 6-1 before the injury. Lewis said he cant think about what was lost for him because of the injury, and is instead looking forward to helping a club thats aiming for its fifth playoff trip since 2010.Since nothing has been sewn up yet though, Lewis isnt looking at his starts as tuneups for the postseason.Ive got to go out and make pitches and keep it tight, he said. It is what it is. I cant go out there and view myself as these are rehab starts. Were trying to win ballgames. Were trying to tie this thing up so we kind of relax a little bit, get the guys who need rest the rest needed before the postseason and move forward.For Lewis to be successful Sunday, hes going to have to do something few pitchers have been able to do recently -- stop Oakland third baseman Ryon Healy.The rookie went 1-for-4 on Saturday to extend his hitting streak to eight games. In those eight games, Healy is 16-for-33 with three home runs, four doubles, nine RBI and 10 runs scored.Hes faced tough pitching, Oakland manager Bob Melvin said. Hes been around to where hes had to make adjustments now, and this is a guy going into spring training was probably behind some of the guys youve seen come up in September. Hes a very confident guy, and he wants to be there every day. He will have nothing to do with not starting a game. I can continually talk to him about his workload, and he doesnt even want to hear about it. Freddy Galvis Jersey . If ever they start actually putting pictures beside words in the dictionary, the Blue Jays left-handers mug will appear beside “Consistency. Rickey Henderson Jersey . The injury bothered Bledsoe in the Suns victory over the Clippers on Monday and he sat out the teams home loss to Memphis on Thursday night. http://www.padresrookiestore.com/Padres-Craig-Stammen-Kids-Jersey/ . Gather a group of friends, or find a league to join online, draft your team, set your lineup and compete in a number of different formats. Dai Young has called for a partnership of equals when the 12 Aviva Premiership directors of rugby meet England head coach Eddie Jones this week.Thursdays gathering will be an opportunity for the clubs to air their grievances in the wake of the national teams three-day training camp in Brighton that led to two players being ruled out of the entire autumn series and a third likely to follow suit.Sam Jones broke his right leg and suffered ankle damage during a judo session, injuries that Young confirmed after Wasps 30-14 defeat at Saracens will rule the flanker out for five months.Baths Anthony Watson sustained a broken jaw during a full-bore training session on Tuesday, while his fellow wing Jack Nowell returned to Exeter with a clean bill of health only for the Chiefs to discover after a scan that he has a significant tear to his thigh muscle.Rob Baxter is the latest Premiership boss to voice his dismay as tension grows between England, the clubs and their umbrella organisation Premiership Rugby.England seemed to have loaded [Nowell] more than we would have done, Baxter, Exeters director of rugby, said.More disappointingly, he was sent back to us with a report that they couldnt find any significant damage.When we scanned him, he had a 9-10 centimetre tear in his quad which will put him out for weeks.Saracens director of rugby Mark McCall views the timing of the England camp in Brighton as flabbergasting and madness, blaming Premiership Rugby (PRL) for not objecting to its place in the calendar.Upping the ante considerably was the ensuing PRL statement that accused Jones of risking player welfare by staging such an intense session on the Tuesday after a weekend of league action.Young is reeling at the loss of Sam Jones, who has been outstanding so far this season, for almost half the year in an absence that takes in the RBS 6 Nations. Manuel Margot Jersey. I dont think its right to vent my frustration or disappointment about anything that went on through the media, Young said.But this cannot be England against the clubs. We cannot be against each other. We have to be together. There cant be a big brother in this relationship.Theyre not more important than us and were not more important than them. We have to work together and thats the biggest message.The last thing we should do is create a wedge between the national set-up and the clubs.Accidents happen and Im sure well review it and hopefully there will be things we can change and have a view on.We all want a strong national team and we all want strong Premiership teams. Its really important that we all keep working in the same direction.This may be a bump in the road, but Im sure that we can pull together and get things right and move forward.We wont achieve what we want to do if we start going our separate ways. Nobody is stronger than each other, we have to be strong together so that we get the best for the clubs and the national team.Amid the swirl of disharmony that threatens to re-open old wounds between Twickenham and the Premiership, England have received some positive news in the improving fitness of Owen Farrell.Farrell has missed all six of Saracens matches this season due to back and hip problems, but it is hoped the playmaker will be able to participate in Saturdays heavyweight European showdown with Toulon.If everything goes to plan then hopefully Owen will be available for this weekend. Hes an influential member of the squad and its good to have him around the team, Young said. ' ' '
