It is with profound sadness that Rangers Rounding 3rd announces unpleasant news. The 2024 Texas Rangers have been eliminated from the American League West division race. After yesterday’s dismal 4-0 loss in which the Rangers were able to amass just two lousy singles, they are now ten games out of […]
Cody Bradford is the hope. Could he finally be the success story the Rangers had failed for so many years to develop? It’s an embarrassing string of failures that cost the last guy his job. But yesterday’s starter Cody Bradford, combined with today’s starter Kumar Rocker might be the hope […]
Wyatt Langford might be the best thing to come out of this miserable season. After going 3-for-4 last night, with two doubles, a home run, and two RBIs, Langford is hitting .345 in September, with a .424 on-base percentage and a whopping 1.097 OPS. That’s in elite territory. Remember, he […]
As of this morning, there are 135 major league players with enough plate appearances to qualify for the batting championship. In order to qualify, you need 3.1 plate appearances per the number of games your team has played. The Rangers, for example, have played 150 games. So, in order to […]
With a team as offensively challenged as the Rangers have been all season, it’s a mystery this team hasn’t been no-hit. Yesterday, was maybe even more embarrassing than that.

Jacob deGrom is back. It really wasn’t a start as much as it was a bullpen game, and he was the first pitcher. He signed a five-year, $185 million contract, which was a lot of money to throw at a guy who spends most of his previous two seasons injured. […]
The Kumar Rocker era has begun. It came much earlier than anticipated, but Rocker was so dominating in the minor leagues that he forced his way into a big league start. He certainly didn’t look intimidating. Allowed to go just four innings, Rocker made the most of it. He actually […]
Boxer Mike Tyson once famously said, “Everyone has a plan. Until they get punch in the face.” The Rangers went into the season with a plan. They would begin with five starters—Nathan Eovaldi, Cody Bradford, Jon Gray, Dane Dunning, and Andrew Heaney—then they’d add Michael Lorenzen, who they had just […]
Every time the Rangers gain a little momentum, reality sets in. And they get a spanking like the Arizona Diamondbacks administered on them in a 6-0 shutout loss. The Diamondbacks are rolling.
