The Rangers are 2-16 when the opposing team scores four runs or more. The Rangers left nine men on base last night. The Yankees left three. The Rangers struck out eleven times last night. The Rangers were 0-for-3 with runners in scoring position last night. This was their fourth walk-off […]
We can officially call it. The Rangers offense is not good to carry this team into the playoffs, and it will not be good unless they are able to make a few major changes. The only bona fide threat they have is Corey Seager, and he is a part-time player […]
In 2017, the Rangers made a bid to land Shohei Ohtani, who was all the rage as a two-way star in Japan. Seven teams bid on Ohtani, who ultimately choose to sign with Mike Trout and the Angels. Ohtani did not know at the time that the Angels owner makes […]
There was some good news in the four-game split. The Rangers got four exceptional starts in a row. Jacob deGrom went eight scoreless innings on Thursday. Nathan Eovaldi went 5.2 scoreless innings on Friday. On Saturday, Tyler Mahle went six innings, allowing one run. Leiter gave up three runs in […]
Be honest, in the bottom of the third when Marcus Semien struck out with bases loaded to strand three runners, you figured, here we go again, another frustrating offensive performance, right?

That thud sound you heard was the Rangers winning streak coming to an abrupt end. It happened in the top of the seventh inning with the Rangers holding a 2-0 lead when, after Texas got the first two out, and with Houston having a runner on first, the wheels fell […]
Sometimes a perfect game isn’t a pitcher retiring all twenty-seven batters he faces. Sometimes it’s bigger than that. Jacob deGrom didn’t pitch a perfect game last night, in fact, he lost that bid with two outs in the second. He gave up five hits and a walk. But it was […]
Now the test begins. Sweeping the Colorado Rockies is easy. Everyone is doing it. The Rockies are currently 7-36. The are on pace to win 26 games this year and lose 136 Remember, the Chicago White Sox set the record for futility last year by just 41 games and losing […]
That’s four in a row. The Rangers matched their longest winning streak of the season with a 4-1 win over the Rockies. While it’s always nice to get a win, it almost seems shameful celebrating it over the Rockies, an embarrassing mess of a team that has now fallen to […]
The Rangers anemic offense returned. Jake Burger returned. Wyatt Langford’s power returned. The Rangers returned to .500. Rangers frustration returned. This is what a .500 team looks like. On a night they get another smothering pitching performance from Tyler Mahle, who gave up one earned run in 6.1 innings to […]
