Since starting the season 6-2, the Rangers have reversed course and gone 2-6 their next eight games. Two losses to Houston, two to Oakland, two more to Houston. It’s been a lack of offense, no clutch hitting, very little power, bullpen failures and, just when they needed another great start […]
It’s easy to blame yesterday’s loss on a bullpen collapse. After all, that’s exactly what happened. Andrew Heaney was in trouble all game, walking Astros, giving up hits, loading the bases. While he was able to get out of it, he wasn’t even able to get through five innings, being […]

Josh Sborz walked off the field last night with two outs and two strikes on Jose Altuve under his belt. He felt something in his shoulder and he left the game. Yesterday was a harsh day for pitchers. The Cleveland Guardians announced their ace righthander Shane Bieber will need to […]
