The Rangers started their long-awaited rebuild of their bullpen yesterday by signing free agent Kirby Yates. It was a bullpen that blew more saves than it converted, yet somehow held on through the playoffs, thanks to Jose Leclerc and Josh Sborz. But the Rangers cannot go through an entire season […]
Some times these are too difficult to write. It’s with profound sadness that I pass along the news that one of our fellow Rangers Rounding 3rd friends needs as many thoughts, prayers, good wishes, and luck that we can send his way. Nathan Whitten, who posts here as John Ed […]
I’m proud to announce the release of the album “Little Holes” by The Four Baggers. Who the heck are The Four Baggers? And what does this have to do with Rangers Rounding 3rd? You may know them. It’s me and fellow Rangers Rounding 3rd poster Eli Saenz. You remember Eli? […]
And now, some earth-shattering news. Yesterday, MLB Network Radio passed along an exclusive report from the New York Post that the Texas Rangers are interested in Jordan Montgomery. I sincerely hope you were sitting down when you read that. Or, that you don’t have a heart condition. If so, and you […]

There’s been a lot of moaning about the new playoff format. It started during last-year’s playoffs and is still going on. The two division winners with the most victories get a first-round bye while the other teams play a best-of-three first round wildcard series. Last season, three of the four […]
In news that is not surprising: Marcus Semien won the American League Silver Slugger award for second basemen. He led the A.L. in hits, with 185, and runs, 122. He drive in 100, and had 73 extra-base hits. Oh, by they way, he is a finalist for MVP. Corey Seager […]
