Last night in the bottom of the ninth inning, with the Rangers trailing 11-9, Ronald Guzman came up to bat with a .526 average, facing Brandon Morrow, the Padres pitcher, who had a 13.50 ERA. This only happens two places. On Playstation. And in Arizona. Guzman, as baseball goes, got […]
So, what did we learn yesterday? Both contenders for the fifth spot in the Rangers rotation had very solid outings. So as the final ten days of spring wrap up it’s still a close race. Of course, all of this could be for naught if the Rangers somehow decide they want […]
By this time tomorrow, one of the bigger questions of spring will be answered. Hopefully. Who will the fifth starter be. Both candidates are lined up and ready to take the ball. Chi Chi Gonzalez is scheduled to start the 3:05 game against the Reds, while A. J. Griffin takes […]

Last year, just like the last two days, the Rangers played four games in two cities in two days. This time they had a bit more success than they did last year: ***** A FAIL OF TWO CITIES. March 22, 2015 If we got a glimpse into the future, the […]
Seems like no matter what is posted these days, someone has an opinion on and someone else takes offense. So, now, for something totally non-controversial… *** Explaining the infield fly rule: A lot of people struggle with the infield fly rule. But it’s really quite simple if you know why […]
It will be curious to see how Delino DeShields does this year. He wasn’t on the radar in 2015 but forced himself into the picture and into the lineup. In fact, he was a knight in shining armor, coming to rescue the top of the lineup that was mired in […]
