A split with the best team in baseball. Does that mean the Rangers are as good as the best team in baseball? No, but it means Texas is playing much better than it was when it was the absolute worst team in baseball. This team is still a starter or […]

This morning, somewhere in Denver, Troy Tulowitzki and his agent are sitting down to breakfast with Colorado Rockies owner Dick Monfort and GM Jeff Bridich to ask to be traded. Imagine the monumental upgrade it would be for the Rangers to have Troy Tulowitzki at shortstop over Elvis Andrus. Not just […]

  I could write a thousand words about last night’s game and perfectly sum it up. I could write three words about last night’s game and perfectly sum it up. There was a lot of positive to take away. There was a lot of negative to take away. What the […]

2-1, 7-1, 11-3. Offense, power, defense, no Elvis errors, no Scheppers dousing lighter fluid on a fire.
