This is when I was asked to leave a Rangers game for making fun of a player’s hair. HIGHLIGHTS FROM YESTERDAY. This one could be about how dominating Chi Chi Gonzalez was in his first major league start, holding the Boston Red Sox to no runs and just one hit […]
Early on last season, this team was winning. It’s much more fun when they win. A SUCCESSFUL ROAD TRIP. Some things we haven’t seen the Rangers do in a while, we saw them do yesterday. Win a series on the road. Not have a losing road trip. Have a comeback victory […]
Remember a year ago when the Rangers had the worst rotation in baseball despite having two of its better pitchers? SAMPSON STRONG AGAIN. The Rangers went into this season with three of the worst pitchers at the bottom of their rotation than they’ve ever had. And, given this team’s pitching […]
When Yu Darvish took the mound for the Rangers, he had the uncanny ability to keep both teams from scoring. The Rangers, for some reason, struggled to score runs for Darvish. ONE LOUSY PITCH. On the very first pitch of the game from a Toronto Blue Jays pitcher, Shin-Soo Choo […]

While it’s hard to recall, apparently a Ranger starter other than Minor and Lynn actually did pitch a good start last year. It was so rare. A LOT OF UNUSUAL. What looked like another Rangers road game turned into anything but that. Drew Smyly gave up three in the second inning […]
Gallo had a breakout season in 2019. GALLO GETTING NATIONAL LOVE. Mike Petriello of mlb.com asked a question. Is Joey Gallo making a case for MVP? Gallo, he points out, has been the best hitter in the American league by OPS and a few other silly new-age stats. And, he […]
Of all the past articles from May 23rds I could re-post, nothing was more appropriate than this to capture the spirit of everyone on this site, especially now that times are tough and people still come back. We’ve lost too many good souls here. FOR MOJO. Today is the memorial […]
This article could be as relevant today as it was two years ago. LOOKING FOR OTHER THINGS. At this point it’s not about wins or loses. From here on out it’s about player development and retooling the roster. According to Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News, the Rangers have told other clubs […]
