Now that the season is winding down and players are trying to play for a shot at the roster next year, it’s interesting to look back at the opening day roster. The starting infield was Nathaniel Lowe at first, Nick Solak at second, Brock Holt at third, and Isiah Kiner-Falefa […]
It’s amazing what happens when a batter makes contact with the ball. The Rangers offense has been showing signs of life lately. Yesterday, they got eleven hits, enough to generate eight runs in an 8-5 win and two-game sweep of the Arizona Diamonbacks. It was capped by a three-run fourth […]
Three wins in a row. On the road. With quality pitching. They split a series in Los Angeles. They have the chance to sweep a short two-gamer in Arizona. Just 38 games under .500. Jordan Lyles picked up a W. It’s all clicking for the Rangers. In the better late […]
Baseball has been around a long time. In the history of the game, no pitcher has ever done what A.J. Alexy has done. No pitcher has given up just one hit in each of his first two major league starts. Think of all the pitchers in the Hall of Fame. […]
Don’t look now, but Taylor Hearn is turning himself into a reliable major league starter. He has quietly put together a nice run of games, posting an even 3.00 ERA in six second-half starts. His ERA in July was 1.72. In August, 2.92. Yesterday, he went deeper than he ever […]
You kind of wonder, what’s the point? What’s the point of the Rangers packing up all their equipment, hopping on a plane, and flying somewhere to play baseball? They’re going to lose, like they have done in 51 of their 67 road games. They’re going to fail to hit with […]
Glenn Otto’s second start wasn’t as dominating as his first start. But that’s only because you can’t expect a guy to shut out major league teams every time. While his first game was a fairytale, yesterday’s first inning was a suspense novel. Just enough people jumping out of dark spaces […]
This might be the most highly anticipated game of this highly forgettable year. Glenn Otto gets his second start tonight. His first start was nothing short of remarkable. Five shutout innings against the Astros, who boast the best offense in the American League. He surrendered just two hits, with no […]
Even though the Little League World Series ended last week with a team from Michigan winning, Bally Sports interrupted yesterday’s Rangers game by cutting to extended Little League coverage. Featured was an adorable team from Texas. They displayed all the loveable knucklehead moments you come to expect from Little Leaguers. […]
This is what you’d expect when the Texas Rangers play the Texas Rangers. They have an excellent chance to win. But the games will be close. The only team worse on the road than the Texas Rangers is the Colorado Rockies. So, the Rangers are getting a taste of what […]
