This one is from last year. It could easy be from 2014. Or 2017. Or 2019. Or 2020. Or the next few years. GLARING DEFICIENCIES. Sometimes you have the reality shoved in your face. It’s not pretty and it’s not subtle. And it hurts. But the reality is the Texas […]
Has there ever been a more difficult time to be a mother? It’s a challenging, thankless, stressful role in good times. These are the opposite of good times. There is no break. No off switch. Kids aren’t at school. They’re at home. Husbands aren’t at work. They’re at home. And, […]
The stories about the players are always better than the stories about the games. THINGS THAT MATTER. When the Rangers had their last lost season, back in 2014, the story was no longer about the play on the field. That was abysmal. It was about the people who were getting a […]
Hunter Pence will be missed. If baseball is played this year, he will be back on the Giants, after coming to Arlington and surprising everyone by having an All-Star caliber season. INDISPENCEABLE. After watching Hunter Pence in just one at-bat or make one play in the field, it’s impossible not […]
The Rangers weren’t tanking in 2018, they stunk the old-fashioned way. BAD BASEBALL ALL AROUND. The four-game series started out so promisingly with a win in the first game highlighted by the Rangers biggest offensive explosion of the season. Unfortunately, they scored just one run in the next game and […]
The race was on to see who would get to sixty first: Gallo in home runs or the Rangers in wins. ON PACE FOR 60. The Rangers lost another game to pitch counts. Cole Hamels had given up just two earned runs and five hits through six innings. But he […]
With baseball being back, at least in Korea, let’s take a break from the archives, at least for one day. A lot is made about the lack of a salary cap in MLB as opposed to the NFL and NBA. The popular opinion is that leads to only a handful […]
Every once in a while, hardly ever, really, this site gets accused of being negative or perhaps too harsh on the Rangers and their front office. All efforts are made to be positive when at all possible. POSITIVITY. Many positive things happened in the Rangers game last night. Rougned Odor […]
The Rangers have had some legendarily bad starters. Matt Moore was one—a pitcher so horrible, Jon Daniels just had to make him a Ranger. ANOTHER BAD DAY FOR MOORE. The oldest, and truest, axiom in baseball is that you are only as good as that day’s pitcher. Yesterday, the Rangers […]
This was the year Joey Gallo went from lost to found. It was great to witness. AGONY. ECSTACY. When Keona Kela’s two-out, two-strike, bases-loaded, ninth-inning pitch landed in the stands in right field to tie the game at 6-6, a game the Rangers led 6-0 at one time, it looked […]
