This is how you pick up your team after your ace goes down. Nathan Eovaldi goes out and throws a nine-inning complete game shutout. Against the New York Yankees. Of course, it was a Yankees team that had Willie Calhoun and Isiah Kiner-Falefa in its lineup. But the other seven […]
To make things easier and save both time and effort in the future, the management at Rangers Rounding 3rd decided to write the following paragraph now, then come back and copy and paste it in all subsequent Jacob deGrom starts. “Jacob deGrom was cruising yesterday, making the opposing team look […]
Gerrit Cole came into last night’s game 4-0 with a 0.79 ERA. Sorry, but the Rangers were not going to beat him. Right now, nobody can. The fact they got two runs off him was a pretty good accomplishment. They jacked up his ERA all the way to 1.11. So, […]

Yesterday was Earth Day. Kind of ironic because the Rangers played out of this world. Adolis Garcia delivered three moon shots, to go with two doubles, driving in five and scoring five. That’s a month’s worth of production for many players. The Rangers picked themselves off the mat after their […]
