Corey Seager got a hit last night. That used to not be cause for celebration. Or even cause for needing to be written. But right now he is going through a long, sustained slump. In the nineteen games since he came back from his second pulled hamstring, Seager is batting […]
You can’t spell RANGERS without ANGER. And you can’t be a Rangers fan without being angry their offensive production. It’s a team that, as currently assembles, is simply not good enough to win. And while Chris Young said this team was built to win, the reality is, it was built […]
You have to give the Rangers credit. They come up with more ways to disappoint. Last night, they collected six extra-base hits. Five doubles and a triple. It wasn’t enough. They started the game with a triple, then a double. All they got out of a golden opportunity was two runs. […]
It’s said every season and every season it’s true. You can never have enough pitching. The Rangers went into the season with an expected rotation of Jacob deGrom, Nathan Eovaldi, Tyler Mahle, Cody Bradford, and Jon Gray. With Dane Dunning, Jack Leiter, and Kumar Rocker waiting in the wings. They […]
After winning seven of eight, the Rangers are finally back to .500. It helped that they swept the lowly Chicago White Sox in three very tight games. The offense that had come alive earlier in the week wasn’t there for the White Sox Series, but the Rangers scored just enough […]
Where did that Kumar Rocker come from? And can he stay around a bit? Maybe it was facing the White Sox. Whatever, Kuman Rocker tossed five scoreless innings and picked up his second major league win. It was all so unlikely. He had just been jettisoned back to Triple-A after […]
Once again, Josh Smith came into the season not having a position. The infield was set with newly-acquired Jake Burger at first, Marcus Semien at second, Corey Seager at short, and Josh Jung at third. The outfield was overcrowded with Wyatt Langford, Leody Taveras, Adolis Garcia, and Kevin Pillar. And […]
You have to give it to Chris Young. Forced to rebuild a failed bullpen over the offseason on a shoestring budget, he created one of the best bullpens in baseball. He added Chris Martin, Hoby Milner, Shawn Armstrong, Robert Garcia, Luke Jackson, and Jacob Webb. Only Jacob Latz and Cole […]
Well, for the first two months of the season, the only Ranger hitting was Corey Seager. It was him, then a lineup full of 0-for-4s. Occasionally, someone else would squirt out a single here and there and the Rangers would eke out a run or two. Then, Seager was injured, […]
After winning three in a row, the Rangers reverted to their usual low-scoring offense, mustering just two runs against a Twins starter with a 5.40 ERA who gave up eight earned runs in just three innings his last start. They scored a run in the second and a run in […]
