A funny thing happened to the Ranger in Sacramento last night. They played a home game on the road. They couldn’t hit. They couldn’t score. They had few baserunners. And when they did, they couldn’t move them over. They had no offense. Neither did the Athletics. But Sacramento had one […]
It’s amazing what happens when hitters are patient, when they don’t swing wildly, and make the other pitcher work. Sunday, they wore out Dodgers starter ‘rookie Sasaki early, drawing ten walks total. Last night, they worked only two walks off Athletics starter Luis Severino. But two of those came in […]
It seems to be a regular thing. The Rangers gave up yet another home run to the first batter of the game. This was on the first pitch. Shohei Ohtani took Jacob deGrom deep to put the Rangers down 1-0 before the catcher had even touched the ball. But being […]
The Rangers have fight in them, you can say that about them. They scored three runs in the ninth on Friday night to tie the Dodgers before losing in the bottom of the ninth. Last night, down three runs in the ninth again, they put up a fight again. They […]

It’s better to be the sweeper than the sweepee. After being swept in their first three home games of the season, the Rangers sweep the Mariners in their second home series of 2026. That’s how you get up off the mat. The Rangers offense is still sluggish, scoring only three […]
George Kirby had started ten games against the Rangers in his career. He was 8-0, with a 1.04 earned run average. Contrary to common knowledge, Ray Davis does not own the Rangers. George Kirby does. So, when Nathan Eovaldi gave up a home run on the first pitch of the […]
Two noteworthy things happened last night. They may turn out to insignificant blips on the radar screen. Or they could be the start of something bigger. Josh Jung collected two hits. And Jakob Junius picked up his first save of the year. Jung has struggled since the All-Star break of […]
Well, that was a lost weekend. The Rangers came home riding the high of a 4-2 road trip. Their homecoming hit a brick wall with a devastating thud, being swept in their first home series of the year by Cincinnati, managing to score only four runs in the three-game series. […]
