Who benefits the most?

So, right now, who benefits the most from the acquisitions of Corey Seager, Marcus Semien, and Kole Calhoun? Other than the obvious answer that Rangers fans do because we now have actual talent we can root for, it would seem like the two players who will benefit the most will […]


Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas to everyone in RR3 land. Thank you for making this such a wonderful site to talk about Rangers baseball and all the other topics along the way. Maybe one day there will actually be Rangers baseball. Maybe one day there will actually be Rangers baseball that is meaningful. […]


Biggest turnarounds.

While the signings of Corey Seager and Marcus Semien were huge, Rangers fans have to use a bit of caution to not get too carried away. This team won only 60 games last year. It was 23-players shy of having a 25-man major league roster. Seager and Semium are only […]


Why a lockout is good for baseball fans.

When this whole labor mess first cropped up, the worry was that it would be long and painful and the 2022 season would suffer greatly. Games would be lost. Maybe a lot of games.

Marcus Semien, seven years for $175 million.Former Rangers manager Ron Washington’s fingerprints are all over the 31-year-old Semien. When Semien came up with the Chicago White Sox in 2103, he was mostly a third […]


Wednesday is D-Day.

December 1 is coming soon. Wednesday, in fact. If the owners and players don’t have a deal in place by the end of the day Wednesday, the long dark winter begins. Everything will be put on hold. That includes the Rangers rebuilding process, which actually took a step backward with […]


Giving thanks.

Every year on this day, we take a moment to reflect on everything we are thankful for. As a Rangers fan, it might seem like a short list, but that’s only if you look at it pessimistically. There is lots to be thankful for. There’s the…uh…that one thing…uh…you know, the… […]
