The good luck charm ran out of magic last night. John King had been the rabbit’s foot and four-leaf clover and lucky bottle cap all in one for Rangers manager Chris Woodward. In twelve relief appearances, King had already picked up four wins. Those four Ws, in fact, lead all […]
The Rangers have the look of a team that won’t lose. That’s different than a team that can’t lose. This is a team that doesn’t want to give up. And that is a far cry from the baseball Rangers fans have seen for most of the past seven years when […]
Baseball doesn’t get much more thrilling than last night’s Rangers game. Unless, maybe, for some unknown reason you are a Mariners fan, in which case you are automatically enrolled in the Frequent Losers Club anyway and you’d be used to it. Kohei Arihara had another bad start, his third in […]
Nobody can hit anymore. Offense is down this year. Again. It seems like a yearly thing. Look at the bottom ten batting averages: .204, .206, .207, .215, .219, .223, .225, .226, .226, .226. Which players are these? Sorry, trick question. These are the bottom ten teams. Nobody can hit anymore. […]

This team may finish in last place. Or maybe even fourth. But one thing is sure. This team has moments where it seems like it can come back from anything. And that makes it the most fun bad team the Rangers have had in a long time. Down 3-1 going […]
You have to feel for Dane Dunning. His defense let him down. His offense let him down. Then his manager let him down. A bad throw from Joey Gallo that sailed over the third baseman’s head allowed the first run to score. Jose Trevino forgetting to tag the runner at […]
Well, that was awesome. The one thing that makes a team fun to watch, as well actually competitive, is its ability to score late. For the first couple weeks of the season, the Rangers scored in the first inning, then, like retirees in Florida, called it a night after the […]
When you watch a game like last night’s, you remember how much fun good baseball is to watch. You remember what it’s like to watch it every night. You remember how much fun it was to go to the Ballpark and watch a good Rangers team win. And you remember […]
