Everybody has a friend or someone they know who just seems to always have bad luck. They live with a black cloud over them. They can’t ever seem to catch a break. They can’t seem to hold down a job, or hold on to relationships. Their car is always breaking down. […]
Some days Yu have it, some days Yu don’t. Darvish wasn’t that sharp yesterday. He never found the groove. Never found his control. And the Rangers streak of scoring ten runs per game ended at two. “In the first inning, I had bad rhythm and was taking more […]
We’ve seen the good. We’ve seen the bad. The good is much more fun to watch. The Rangers have won seven out of eight, mostly with great starting pitching. But the last two they’ve added a layer of smash mouth offense. We’ve seen this offense is neutral. Where they struggled […]
Tyson Ross came back after being away for more than a year. Carlos Gomez came back after being away for more than a month. Mike Napoli came back after being away three weeks. The Rangers have most of their parts back. At least for one night, it paid huge […]
When the Rangers signed Tyson Ross to a one-year contract this off-season to join the rotation in 2017, they were expecting he would have been back much sooner than the middle of June. They thought he was just rehabbing from shoulder surgery due to thoracic outlet syndrome. What they didn’t […]

On opening day, Rougned Odor hit two home runs. He promptly went into hibernation for two months. He had his second two-home-run game last night against the Astros. This about a week after having a four-strikeout night against them at the Ballpark, leaving eight runners stranded. Let’s hope with […]
A brilliant headline in the Arizona Republic got picked up by every news source in America and made the rounds in social media yesterday: Even funnier, who saw this speeding locomotive called the Texas Rangers undefeated road trip coming? So far it’s flattened the Washington Nationals. And last night it ran over […]
In 1971, Texas took the team from Washington DC. Forty-six years later, Texas took the team from Washington DC again, but in a different way. In what has to be the most unlikely sweep of the twenty-first century, the sluggish Texas Rangers came into DC and won three games […]
Before he got injured, the best hitter in baseball, Mike Trout, was having his best season of his career. He was (technically still is) averaging one RBI for every 4.5 at-bats this season. The backup catcher for the Rangers, Robinson Chirinos, has that beat by a country mile. With […]
