Drew Smyly is not getting it done. Four starts, fifteen total innings. He’s not even getting twelve outs per game. The bottom three pitchers in the Rangers rotation aren’t getting it done. The Rangers surprising start has obscured the fact that this team has a starting pitching crisis. It […]
Baseball seems like such a simple game to figure out. Until you try to figure it out. Chris Davis, ex-Ranger, walked up to the plate sixty-two times in a row without collecting a hit. That seems almost impossible. Not even a cheap check swing. Not even a bleeder up […]
It’s been nearly two years since the Rangers have been three games over .500. The last time was May 19, 2017. Texas had just won its tenth game in a row. To pull itself out of a 13-20 tailspin. Of course, they then proceeded to lose twelve of the […]
The Rangers are honoring the final year of the Ballpark in the most appropriate way possible. They’re creating unforgettable moments almost on a nightly basis.They’re playing must-watch baseball. They’re playing well there. From dramatic comebacks to steals of home to suicide squeezes to last night’s instant classic, Mike Minor’s complete […]
I’ve seen Sasquatch riding a unicorn. I’ve seen a Leprechaun fly through a double rainbow on a golden Pegasus. I’ve seen the Loch Ness monster take a selfie with Elvis Presley. But last night I witnessed something rare. Halley’s Comet on the second moon of the month rare. Joey […]

Wet, cold, nasty, dreary, washed away. No, that’s not the forecast for the Rangers 2019 season. It was just last night’s weather in Arlington and it rained out the Texas Rangers game against the Oakland Athletics. It would have been the Texas debut of second baseman Danny Santana, who […]
Looking at the positives, Drew Smyly pitched his best game of the year. The Rangers offense continued to click at home. And Khris Davis hit only one home run. Steps forward. Other than that one thing—the Rangers blowing a 6-1 lead thing—it was a good game By the final […]
It’s easy, as a fan, to agree with what happened this offseason in the industry of baseball and how for the second year in a row free agency came to a crawl. It’s easy, as a fan, to side with teams for being smarter in how they dole out their […]
What this team needs: Delino DeShields playing like the promise of Delino DeShields. What this team doesn’t need: Jose Leclerc playing like the ghost of Tanner Scheppers. Both extremes were on display last night. Luckily the DeShields overshadowed the Leclerc and the Rangers were able to split the two-game […]
