Saved by deGrom.

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 […]


Rangers don’t have the talent to beat the Dodgers.   Recently updated !

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 […]


Gut punch.

Oof. The only good you can take out of last night’s heartbreaking 8-7 loss to the Dodgers is that the Rangers are finally on the road where they can hit. But that also means the other team can hit as well. And this three-game series is against the best hitting […]


Squish the bug.

There’s an insect indigenous to Mexico called the cochineal. The cochineal is mostly immobile, a parasite that feeds on cacti, sucking the juice from the plant. It is a soft, fat, and oval shaped bug. At one time, the cochineal was the most sought-after insect in the world. When squished, […]


Rangers sweep Seattle.

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 […]


Higosh-it’s-over.

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 […]


Baby steps.

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 […]


Rangers swept.

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. […]


2025 all over again.

The Rangers returned home for the 2026 season on Friday. Unfortunately, it was the 2025 Rangers. The Rangers who cannot hit. The Rangers who have no reliable bullpen. Texas suffered its first shutout of the young season yesterday when they subjected their fans to nine innings of offensive futility. After […]


Rangers turn C-L-O-S-E-R into L-O-S-E-R.

The Rangers lack of a bullpen has already turned into a problem. Right now they don’t seem to have any high-leverage guys. Tyler Anderson has been reliable, having appeared in four of the Rangers first seven games, with two saves. But he cannot appear in every game. And, it seems, […]
