Another game, another loss.

For fans who love offense, last night’s game provided that. Texas hit five home runs.  Marcus Semien hit two. Sam Huff, Adolis Garcia and Nathanial Lowe hit one each. For fans who love epic battles, last night’s game provided that as well.  The Rangers were down 2-0. Up 4-2. Down […]


The night is Jung.

Slowly but surely, Rangers fans are seeing the promise of Josh Jung.  He burst into Rangers’ lore by hitting a home run, at home, in his first major league at-bat. Yes, he strikes out more than you’d want. Even more than he’d want. And, yes, he had a pesky hitless […]


Turning it around.

Just one month again, on Friday, August 26, the Texas Rangers beat the Detroit Tigers 7-6. At one point, they had a 7-2 lead in that game but their bullpen and their defense couldn’t let that stand without some monumental struggle. In the end, the Rangers pulled out that game. […]


Stuck.

Talking about the Rangers in 2022 is like a baby playing with that Fisher-Price toy called See N Say. He pulls the string and same five sounds come out of it. Over and over and over and over and over again. Pull the string. The dial spins and lands of […]


“Facing Nolan.”

As another insignificant Rangers season winds down, Netflix dropped a wonderful new documentary on the one man who made the Rangers significant in the first place—Nolan Ryan. It’s called “Facing Nolan” and it’s a one-hour-and-forty-five-minute tribute to one of the few true baseball legends.  If you want to feel good […]


Here’s to Albert.

Babe. Mickey. Willie. Junior. Hank. Albert. You know you are an icon when people know you by one name. Last night, Albert Pujols became Albert. He hit two home runs to reach the magical, unfathomable, historic number 700. Babe and Hank were the only two other players to have ever […]


The joy of winning.

It would be nice if the Rangers owners watched last night’s game. They would have learned a very important lesson. Winning is fun.  Fans like it when your team wins.  It’s easy, and fun sport, to blame the past six seasons on Jon Daniels. And you would be right to […]


Rangers sign veteran Kevin Plawecki.

As the Rangers brace for the final few weeks of their stretch drive to the offseason, they made a significant roster move yesterday, signing veteran catcher Kevin Plawecki to a major league contract. The thirty-one-year-old was recently released by the Red Sox. This moves gives them three catchers on the […]


5-4-3.

No outs. Runners at first and second. Three runs had already come across to turn a 2-2 tie into a 5-2 Angels lead. Rangers’ lefty reliever John King was on the mound.  He let a fastball fly. It’s hit sharply to Josh Jung at third. He steps on the bag. […]
