Is it safe to say the Rangers are out of their slump? They have scored fifteen runs in two of their last four games. That’s a ton of offense. Yesterday’s onslaught started with the very first pitch of the game, a Marcus Semien home run. By the time the second […]
Are the Rangers finding their swagger? After pounding the Royals on Saturday for fifteen runs, they shocked them with three runs in the final three innings with a 3-2 come-from-behind, late-game, wake-up-from-a-coma victory. They pretty much matched that effort last night, down 2-0 for seven innings of futile offense and […]
Okay, raise your hand if, in the seventh inning of yesterday’s game against the Royals, you figured it was another shutout and the Rangers were going to scurry off with their tails between their legs. A hand is raised here, for sure. But something wonderful happened on the way to […]
The Great Roller Coaster ride of 2024 continues. A game after scoring just one run and stranding more than American Airlines, the Rangers bats break out for an onslaught of fifteen runs and seventeen hits, led by four from Nathanial Lowe, and triples from Evan Carter and Josh Smith. This […]
The Rangers have a pattern going. A good game, a bad game, a good game, a bad game. But that’s to be expected when you have no offense. Another game, another time they scored just one run. That’s six games so far this season where they have scored one or […]
The worry coming into the season about the Rangers thin rotation was real. It suddenly got even more real in the fifth inning of yesterday’s game when, with one out, Nathan Eovaldi had to come out of the game mid-batter. The rotation that started with Eovaldi, Gray, Dunning, Heaney, and […]
In the year when the Rangers are just treading water, it’s only appropriate they follow up their best game of the season with their most futile. The Rangers scored zero runs. They left eleven runners on. It was a night of utter, dismal offensive failure. Bases loaded, no outs in […]
Now, that was a game worthy of the World Champions. After seeing their offense wander aimlessly in the woods for the nearly all season, things clicked last night. This is what the promise of the Rangers has been all along. Never mind the masterful eight innings Jon Gray delivered, allowing […]
Here’s an interesting stat. The Houston Astros are 9-19, in last place in the A.L. West. They have played twenty-eight games. Of those twenty-eight games, Framber Valdez, Justin Verlander, Ronel Blanco, and Cristian Javier have started fourteen. In other words, half. In those fourteen games, those four Houston starters are […]
Mike Epstein. Marc Sagmoen. Craig Gentry. And now, Wyatt Langford. These are the four Rangers/Senators whose first major league home run was an inside the park home run. Epstein did it for the Senators on June 5, 1967. Sagmoen, in a Rangers jersey, April 17, 1997. Craig Gentry, September 23, […]
