For seven innings, Colby Lewis was perfect. His two-hit, complete-game shutout over the Athletics couldn’t have come at a more perfect time, in light of the two shut-outs of their own the Rangers just endured. It’s hard to say whether that was Colby at his best, he has been really […]
There are two ways to look at this just-completed road trip. With only twenty-three games left, it was a bitter disappointment and the Rangers are in trouble. Or, 139 games into the season, the Rangers are in a much better position than anyone could possibly have ever imagined coming out of […]
A lot of Rangers fans have trouble staying up late for these west coast games, so they turn to this site to find out whether the Rangers won last night. The Rangers got one hit. Tanner Scheppers pitched. Now you know.
Three, four, three, two, three, two, three, two. It’s like they’ve been doing the Texas tango or something. The Rangers could get close to Houston, but they always dropped back. They could get to within two, but always lost ground immediately. Like Houston had an impenetrable force field or something. […]
Delino DeShields had the most important at-bat of the game last night, and may have had the two biggest at-bats for the Rangers this year. Both eerily similar. The first one happened May 4. With the Rangers limping out of the gate after a horrendous April, they crawled into […]
It’s so close, you can feel it. The finish line to this long grueling marathon is in sight. But like in those B-movies, the more you run toward the escape door, the more it seems to get further away every time they cut back to the scene. That’s what […]
Reading Jeff Banister’s comments in The Dallas Morning News defending his inserting Joey Gallo into the lineup at this critical point in the season, it’s obvious he is merely speaking someone else’s words. Because it makes no strategic sense. And game strategy is his domain. If, indeed, they are just trying […]
Sometimes you just run into somebody’s best game ever. CJ Cron was pretty much unstoppable. He drove in all five runs of the Angels’ runs. Combine that with the Rangers leaving ten runners on base, and you get what we got. Beaten. 5-2. Garret Richard came into last night’s game […]
Here is an interesting dilemma. Would you rather have the Rangers win the West, or win a wild card? Before you answer that, look at the ramifications. If the Rangers win the West, they will have a best-of-five playoff series against the Toronto Blue Jays, who just beat them two […]
Mitch Moreland got only two at-bats in last night’s game against the Padres, but he needed only one to be last night’s hero. With Elvis Andrus on first in a 3-3 tie in the top of the tenth, Mitch Moreland shot a double down the right field line to score […]
