It’s going to be more of the same for the Rangers in 2027. Chris Young said yesterday the 2027 payroll will be similar to the 2026 payroll. Around $190 million, which is smack dab in the middle of the pack for the fourth-largest market. That wouldn’t be disappointing news if the […]
The Rangers third baseman won a Gold Glove award last night. So did the Rangers shortstop. And the Rangers left fielder. And the Rangers second baseman And the Rangers center fielder. And the Rangers right fielder. And the Rangers first baseman. No, seven Rangers didn’t win Gold Gloves. Just one. […]
Joc Pederson declined his option for next year. He is now a free agent. He is also now no longer a Ranger. His two years here were Jekyll and Hyde. In 2025, he was bad, hitting a disappointing .181 with a weak .614 OPS, the worst of his 13-year career […]
So, now the long, dark, slow slog until next season begins. Usually, it’s building the team for spring training in February and the regular season in late March. But those dates are all in question now. What’s not in question, seeing the Brewers and Rays in the just completed World […]
After 57 years, the Milwaukee Brewers can finally say they are World Series Champions. They totally dominated the Tampa Bay Rays, winning it in five. They did it with a lineup that hit from top to bottom, one through nine. With a rotation that was unstoppable. And relief pitching that […]
There is life left in the Rays after all. Down three games to none, down 3-2 in the twelfth inning, Tampa Bay rallied back. It was one of the lightning quick rallies that the Brewers had crushed them with. It started with an error, as so many downfalls do. Then […]
That was a good, old-fashioned butt whipping the Brewers just laid on the Rays. A relentless two-out attack with seven hits and eight runs in the fifth to put away Game 3 of the World Series and give themselves a commanding three games to none lead. The fifth inning started […]
Game 3 is a must-win for the Rays. No pressure. Just win. Just beat the team that has won seven consecutive post-season games in 2026. Just beat the team that has won nine out of the ten post-season games they’ve played, coming from behind to win seven of them. That’s […]
If you’re the Tampa Bay Rays, you have to view the Milwaukee Brewers like they are some sort of zombie movie. They cannot be killed. Tampa Bay jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the first inning, started by an uncharacteristic Brewers error and capped off by a two-run homer […]
If you’re a Brewers fan, your nails have been chewed down to the nubs and your Pepto-Bismol has been drained down to the last drop. Milwaukee has a closer who is on tilt. Trevor Megill has 30 saves in 2026, and only three blown saves. And he came into last […]
