So, is this Kyle Gibson guy for real? He sure seems to be right now. After his very Kyle Gibson-like opening day start, he has been a different pitcher. Last night was more of the new Gibson. And a glimpse into what good baseball looks like. Great pitching, great defense, […]
This is what happens with young pitchers. It’s a learning curve. Dane Dunning was brilliant in his first three starts. Not so brilliant in his last two. And two of the those brilliant starts were against bonafide contending teams: Toronto and Tampa Bay. The other against Baltimore. Then he faced […]
Forgive Rangers fans but it’s been a while since they could say this: The Rangers have a second baseman. The promise of Nick Solak is starting to emerge. This is a testament to what happens when you give a player a permanent position and just let him play and quit […]
This isn’t Joey Gallo’s walk year in the traditional sense. The year he can walk away and become a free agent is 2022. But 2021 has become a different kind of walk year for Gallo. It’s the year where the only way to get on base is to walk. Sure, walking […]
Unfortunately, this is what happens when you have a team that’s rosterly challenged. You get great pitching, you lose because you can’t hit. You hit, you lose because you can’t pitch. You can’t pitch, you lose because you can’t hit either. After winning two of three against the Angels, the […]

The Ronald Guzman era with the Rangers appears to be over. He tore the meniscus muscle in his right knee on the first play in the first game he ever started in left field. He was in left field because he lost his job as the Rangers first baseman to […]
So, the season is two weeks old. The Rangers have played six series. They’ve won three, lost three. Overall, they’re 9-10, and in fourth place. Here are the team leaders compared to the major league leaders in the same categories. Two things emerge from this. One, Joey Gallo is having […]
For once it was the Rangers scoring late. It was the Rangers getting to the other team’s bullpen. It feels great. And the credit goes to new Rangers hero Adolis Garcia, who seems to be making highlights every time he plays, which is more and more of late. His three-run […]
The Rangers scored just two runs last night. On the road. Where they are supposedly so much better offensively. Even their manager thinks that. After losing two of three at home against Baltimore, with the only win being 1-0, in a three-game series where they scored just four runs, Rangers […]
