The General Managers Meetings start today in Las Vegas, an ironic choice of cities considering the gambling scandal going on in baseball now. Rangers President of Baseball Operations Chris Young and their General Manager nobody has ever heard of Russ Fenstermaker will have the unenviable task of trying to fill […]
After losing Bruce Bochy, Mike Maddux, Tony Beasley, Brett Boone, and Bobby Wilson already this offseason, the Rangers get more distressing news. Joc Pederson has decided to exercise his option. He will be staying with the Rangers in 2026 for $18.5 million. At nine home runs in 2025, that’s slightly […]
The offseason is here. The Rangers have been very active, losing their manager, pitching coach, hitting coach, catching coach and third-base coach. Eventually, it will be time to get to the actual big league roster. Rangers president Chris Young is under a microscope here. He came in as GM and […]
The exodus continues. Since this disappointing season ended, the Rangers have lost a future Hall of Fame manager in Bruce Bochy, a future Hall of Fame pitching coach in Mike Maddux, and three more coaches. Beloved third base coach Tony Beasley is not returning to the Rangers. Neither is hitting […]
That was special. That was as good as sports get. Baseball is glorious, and Game 7 punctuated how wonderful baseball can be. In the end, the Dodgers just couldn’t lose. They were outhit, outscored, out pitched, and out defended, but someone snuck past the Blue Jays in a classic Game […]
There will be a Game 7 tonight. And while that is glorious because of the drama and gut churning on every pitch for fans of both teams, for fans of the Rangers, all we have gotten so far this offseason is punched in the gut. First, the Rangers Hall of […]
Game 6 is tonight, and if you are a Dodgers fan, you have the right guy on the mound going for you, as you desperately need to win the final two games in Toronto. Yoshinobu Yamamoto has thrown two consecutive complete games. One in the playoffs, one in the World […]
This World Series seems to have a lot of storylines. Addison Barger becoming the first player to hit a pinch-hit grand slam in Game 1. Yoshinobu Yamamoto throwing a complete game, his second in a row in the playoffs, in Game 2. Game 3 was an eighteen-inning nailbiter, with Shohei […]
News flash. Shohei Ohtani is human. Read all about it. After getting on base a ridiculous nine times in Game 3, with two doubles, two home runs (including the game-tying homer in the seventh), and five walks, the three-time (and soon to be four) MVP took the mound, to follow […]
Well, so much for the narrative that the Dodgers bullpen cannot be trusted. In last night’s eighteen inning classic, the much maligned bullpen pitched an eleven-inning shutout. After Toronto scored its fifth run in the seventh inning to take a 5-4 lead, it never scored again. It really never threatened […]
