Jeff Banister’s unconventional managing style is starting to get noticed. And not in a good way. Yesterday, he pinch ran for the one guy in the lineup you really should never take out of the lineup. He sent Delino DeShields in for Prince Fielder. It might have made sense […]
Today Josh Hamilton is slated to start his injury rehab at Round Rock. What kind of player can we expect Josh Hamilton to be when he eventually gets to the Rangers in a few weeks? Listening to the baseball experts and talking heads, and reading the columnists and bloggers back when […]
He did it again. Another costly error opened the floodgates. Jeff Banister made the critical error of taking out his dominating starter and letting another game get out of reach. It happened in the sixth inning yesterday in Tampa Bay. After Elvis Andrus bobbled a ball to […]
The Rangers have started to click. Power, great starting pitching, a non-caving-in bullpen, Elvis paying attention, no Leonys Martin, power. All the ingredients for winning games. Four wins in a row. They were sort of being cocky in their post-game interviews. I saw swagger. I heard them […]
2-1, 7-1, 11-3. Offense, power, defense, no Elvis errors, no Scheppers dousing lighter fluid on a fire.

This is why baseball is the greatest sport in the world. Football, this wouldn’t happen. The Indianas of the world never beat the Alabamas. Ever. Ever. Ever. They might score a few points and get a moral victory, but they don’t win. They might even score first and then hope like […]
There have been a lot of bad Texas Rangers teams over the years, but this year’s version is shaping up to be the all-time worst. That is saying something indeed. Last place is a comfortable place for this franchise, with the Rangers having finished there eleven seasons out of […]
So that’s what offense looks like. Two hits from Fielder, two hits from Beltre, four hits from Blanks, two hits from Choo, nearly equalling his total for the entire season. The 3-4-5-6 spots in the order did what 3-4-5-6 place hitters are supposed to do. Hit. Drive in runs. Keep […]
Full discloser. I did not watch a single pitch of last night’s game. I was travelling in my car and had a little accident, luckily an experienced Car Accident Attorney in illinois says that you can solve this issues if you’re careful when you discuss about it and have a […]
