Remember when NFTs were a thing? Non-Fungible Tokens? It was an image, available only digitally, that was treated like art hanging in a gallery. It’s an image that only exists on a computer screen. Not a painting or a sculpture or photograph or a work of a master. It’s a […]
The treading of water continues. The Rangers were able to salvage the final game of the series in Boston. It was the Red Sox first series win at home since the first week of April. Texas is, once again, a game under .500 and going nowhere. It appears the Rangers […]
This is what happens when you don’t invest in your team. This is what happens when winning isn’t important. This is what happens when you do as little as possible. If ownership isn’t going to invest in the Texas Rangers, why should fans? If ownership doesn’t care about winning, why […]
It’s going to be difficult for the Rangers to put together any sort of sustained winning when two of the five pitchers in their rotation don’t put them in a winning position with each start they make. Yes, the Rangers should expect to win when Jacob deGrom and Nathan Eovaldi […]
You can feel it sweeping all over Texas. The excitement is magical as the eyes of the world are on Arlington. No, it’s not World Cup fever. It’s the Texas Rangers returning to mediocracy. Finally, for the first time since May 1, the Rangers are back to even at 34-34, […]
What’s more surprising. That the Rangers are 2-0 in extra-inning games this year? Or that they have played only two extra-inning games? Maybe that’s the secret to getting off this treadmill of mediocracy. Be tied after nine innings. Texas sent out its five-inning man, MacKenzie Gore to start the game. […]
The stick always seems to be just a bit too far to grasp the carrot. The last time the Rangers were at .500 was May 1, at 16-16. They got within one game of .500 on May 13, then lost two in a row. They got within one game of .500 […]
Arriving just when needed: a dominating performance from Jacob deGrom. Arriving totally out of the blue: the Rangers beating up on left-handed pitching. Sunday, the Rangers, behind a a three-hit, six-inning shutout performance from Jacob deGrom, pounced on the Cleveland Guardians to a 10-0 romp. DeGrom had been shaky of […]
“I just need to get better.” That was Jack Leiter’s quote after last night’s game. Sad to say, it’s been his mantra since he made his first major league start. Leiter is a hint. A wisp. He’s supposed to be good but just hasn’t done it consistently enough. He’s like […]
For five innings, Cleveland’s Parker Messick was dominating the Rangers. Of course he was. He’s a lefty. Then came the sixth. Down 2-0, the Rangers first batter was Kyle Higashiosaka, who has been on fire the last two weeks, with an OPS over 1.400. He led off with a long […]
