One more week.

The countdown is nearing zero. Opening day is one week away. The Rangers are off today, play a two games tomorrow, then one Sunday. That’s it for Surprise for 2024. They come home for two more practice games, these against Boston, on Monday and Tuesday, take Wednesday off, then it’s […]


It’s Nate for Game 1.

In a surprise to absolutely nobody, Nathan Eovaldi will be the Rangers opening day starter. Every pitch he throws this year will come with Rangers fans flinching. Please don’t get hurt, please don’t get hurt, please don’t get hurt. The thirty-three-year-old righthander spent some time on the IL last season […]


Scratch off Sampson.

Remember when Adrian Sampson was a part of the Rangers rotation? It was back when Jon Daniels was the general manager and talent evaluation didn’t exist. Back in 2019, Sampson started fifteen games for the Rangers. He went 3-7 with a 6.41 ERA. Under Daniels, that was considered an ace.  […]


Langford, Bradford.

Ten days to go until opening day.  While spring stats aren’t important, they are tallied so they’re fun to look at. Here are the Rangers leaders on offense Run: Wyatt Langford, 11 Hits: Wyatt Langford, 10 2B: Blaine Crim, 5 3B: Elier Hernandez, 2 HR: Wyatt Langford, 5 RBI: Wyatt […]


Two Ls.

You win some. You lose some. And sometimes you lose them both. Good thing it’s spring. The Rangers had a split squad doubleheader yesterday. They lost 5-4 against Arizona, and 5-1 against Milwaukee. Wyatt Langford went 2-for-3. The kid just keeps hitting. Matt Duffy went 1-for-3 to put his average […]


Baseball activity.

Max Scherzer had officially been cleared for baseball activity. As of today, he is allowed to scratch himself, spit sunflower seeds, scratch himself again, and complain about how the luxury tax is working as a salary cap to depress salaries. He can start throwing a baseball in a few months. […]


Spring fever.

The first Spring Breakout Game is over and the buzz is still resonating across Texas. Like the Silver Boot Series, it’s captured the hearts and minds of every man, woman, and child in the Lone Star state. You couldn’t go anywhere yesterday without people talking about the Spring Breakout Game. […]


Spring Breakout.

Today is the Rangerst first annual Spring Breakout Game. It’s the brainchild of Major League Baseball, sort of like the Futures Game but for spring training. The idea is to spotlight all the great young talent in the pipeline. Today, the top prospects from the Reds take on the top […]


Cease and persist.

According to MLBTradeRumors.com, the Rangers have heated up trade talks with the White Sox over twenty-eight-year-old righthanded pitcher Dylan Cease.   He’s coming off a down 2023 after a very strong 2022 in which he posted a 2.20 ERA with 227 strikeouts in 184 innings, and a remarkable 180 ERA+, meaning […]


Spring dreaming.

Wyatt Langford went 2-for-3 with four runs scored. It’s just spring, but a Rangers fan can dream, right? It’s against the Angels, which MLB Radio calls the wasteland of baseball, but a Rangers fan can dream, right? He’s batting .379 with an OPS of 1.300, which leads all Rangers hitters, […]
