Shut out by the Pirates. Shut out by a starting pitcher who, in his last two starts gave up fifteen earned runs in nine total innings. And not just shut out, shut down. Only three hits. Three singles. Not even a walk. Not even a runner to second base. This […]
The Rangers too little too late portion of the season continues, as they got their second straight win, this one against the Pirates. Really, it was Corey Seager who got this win. His two home runs accounted for all four of Texas’s runs, as they hung on to beat Pittsburgh […]
Every so often, this team has flashes of— Well, it’s not flashes of hope because hope would suggest a possible positive outcome. Every so often, this team has flashes of— Well, it’s not flashes of hope because hope would suggest a possible positive outcome. And it’s not flashes of greatness […]
At this point, you just expect the Rangers to lose. The players seem to be playing that way as well. “Let’s get through these nine innings and get this season over with.” This team is in a tailspin that even three upcoming games against the White Sox at the end […]

While the entire lineup contributed to the World Series championship, Garcia put the Rangers on his shoulders and delivered […]
Baseball is the most unpredictable of sports. If you don’t believe that, explain Jose Leclerc. He started 2023 as the Rangers closer but quickly lost that job. The Rangers bullpen was historically bad. It was a blown save just waiting to be called in from the bullpen. And Leclerc was […]
With the Rangers season on the line, they put the ball in the hands of Gerson Garabito. He’s a career nine-year minor leaguer who has appeared in 163 games and had one save, picked up in 2021 in Triple-A Sacramento. After taking the ball in the bottom of the tenth, […]
