The season is a week old. The Rangers have played two series. Two series in the books. Two series wins in the books. They are 4-2, on pace for 106 wins. A few things of note. One, Nathan Eovaldi hasn’t missed a beat. He’s started two games with one win […]
Sometimes a starting pitchers earns the loss. Sometimes, a loss is just dropped on them. Last night, it was dropped. In the form of a popup and an ineffective bullpen. Down 1-0 in the bottom of the fifth, Andrew Heaney wasn’t exactly cruising—he was inefficient with his pitches—but he was […]
Some players are just cursed with bad luck. Josh Jung was the Wyatt Langford before there was a Wyatt Langford. Drafted in 2019, he was the can’t-miss prospect, the future of the Rangers, the guy that needed to get to the major leagues as fast as possible. Would it be […]
Jose Leclerc has pitched in two of the first three games of the season. In both games he allowed the go-ahead run to score. Granted, in the first game of the season, he had an assist from Jonah Heim. But, Heim’s blunder would have never happened had Leclerc pitched like […]
Well, maybe Cody Bradford is ready to be in the rotation. One game does not make a season. Yet, had he been beaten up, there would have been calls for his banishment after just one game. But the twenty-six-year-old lefty wasn’t beaten up. On the contrary. After giving up a […]
A few things overlooked in Thursday’s walk-off win against the Cubs. Jose Leclerc got the first two outs of the ninth, then walked the next two batters. If he is going to be the closer, he can’t do that. And if he does that, he won’t be the closer for […]
The beauty of baseball is in its opportunity of redemption. Failure is baked into the game. But so is the chance to redeem your failures. Jonah Heim learned that the hard way, and the glorious way, in Game 1 of the season last night. With the game tied at 2-2 […]
Defending World Series champions. It’s still hard to believe that happened. But it did. Adolis Garcia carried this team on his back through the playoffs, turned it over to one swing of the bat by Corey Seager, some great glove work by Evan Carter, and a bullpen that arrived just […]
As a public service to all Rangers fans, Rangers Rounding 3rd is reprinting the email the Texas Rangers sent to fans who are interested in upgrading their game-watching experience at The Shed. We have opened Home Plate Field Suite 4 for a select few games to start the season as […]
Of course, things like the roster and the lineup and the rotation and the bullpen matter. But nobody goes to a Rangers game to see the players. They go for the food. This year, the Rangers introduce a boatload of new concession items for us to stuff our collective mouths […]
