The Rangers rotation is taking on water. (The defense has sprung a leak as well.) In the just completed series loss to Atlanta, the Braves outscored the Rangers 29-13, with 15 of those runs gifted from the Rangers three starters: Cal Quantrill, MacKenzie Gore, and Nathan Eovaldi. Quantrill came down […]
This time of year, every baseball publication publishes stories about the trade deadline. Who is going to be a buyer. Who is going to be a seller. Which team needs what. Which players are moving. This year’s trade deadline has the added complication of knowing there probably won’t be a […]
Have the Braves stopped scoring? It was 15-1 at one point. Who knows how many more runs they have tacked on. It could very well be 55-1 by now. The Rangers weren’t going to beat Chris Sale. He’s a lefty. And he’s Chris Sale. Cal Quantrill got the nod to […]

He pitched to one batter, struck him out, and earned the […]
Every year the All-Star Game pits the best in the American League against the best in the National League. Before interleague play, it was the only way for fans to see players from the other league. Now that every team plays every team at least once a year, some of […]
The Rangers head into the All-Star break on a high note after beating the Astros two out of three. It wasn’t so much that they won the series, it was how they won it. Friday’s Game 1, they had a 3-0 lead, blew it, then came storming back with four […]
