When you look at the last two games, games the Rangers lost against a team they should have easily beaten, against a team that is the 2022 version of what they were in 2021, you have to put it into perspective. This team lost 102 games last season. It wasn’t […]
One of the frustrations with being a fan is when you root for a player to succeed and he simply doesn’t. Remember Ronald Guzman? Or Nomar Mazara? Or Ryan Rua? Mike Olt, Joey Gallo, Lewis Brinson. The list is seemingly endless. Add Taylor Hearn to that list. He’s a local […]
Jim Bowden, the former general manager of the Reds and Nationals, and current talking voice on MLB Network Radio, is also a contributor to The Athletic. Yesterday, he released his list of the top 125 players he thinks are trade targets this coming trade deadline, which is 5:00 p.m. Dallas […]
Texas spent half-a-billion-dollars on their Infield of the Future. You see it on display every day in the middle of the Rangers infield. Move your head slightly to the left and you might just see the real future of the Rangers infield. Ezequiel Duran. Duran—not Corey Seager or Marcus Semien—has […]
So, there’s this thing called an immaculate inning. It’s when a pitcher throws nine pitches in an inning and records three strikeouts. It’s strike one, strike two, strike three. Strike one, strike two, strike three. Strike one, strike two, strike three. It’s rare. You’d think it would happen often. Especially […]
Turnabout is fair play. Not sure why that is a saying but it is. Not sure exactly what is supposed to be fair about it, either. But after following the fall-behind-early-then-rally-big-late blueprint the previous three games, the Rangers fell victim to that last night. A seemingly controllable 3-0 lead vanished […]
This is how teams earn winning records. This is how teams earn reputations. Three games in a row, the Rangers have staged late come-from-behind rallies to beat two good teams. The White Sox, even though they are mired in third place in their division, are no slouches. And the Astros […]
The last time the Rangers won a series on the Southside of Chicago was 2014. Very little else went right for the Rangers that year but they did win four out of six games that year against the White Sox. One of the games was 16-0. Colby Lewis threw a […]
Raise your hand if you thought yesterday’s game was over after the third inning. You’re not alone. Down 5-0 with an offense that doesn’t show much fight, nor the ability to score run in bunches, more the ability to get hits with runners in scoring position, which, when you think […]
Seager and Semien. $325 million for ten years and $175 million for seven years. This is Year One. So far, it hasn’t been what anyone would call a success. Every time Corey Seager goes to the plate, the Rangers TV announcers are quick to point out he has the most […]
