Every once in a while, the Rangers tease you with what could have been. And when they do, you get a mix of emotions between the joy of the team winning and the frustration of a team that could not figure it out more. The Rangers not only won in […]
Maybe, after all these years, just maybe the Rangers have a success story when it comes to drafting and developing pitchers. Jon Daniels’s track record was deplorable. It should have cost him his job years before. He endured seventeen seasons of drafting futility. But maybe Cody Bradford is the one […]
It was Corey Seager Silver Slugger Bobblehead night. Corey Seager didn’t play. Could there be any more Rangeresque than last night’s game? The Rangers managed only two runs in a sloppy 9-2 loss to the Athletics. In the second half of the season, Seager has been in beast mode, with an […]
With yesterday’s 2-1 win over the White Sox, the Rangers swept Chicago for the year, winning all seven games. They also eked out only two runs off a starter who came into the game with an 8.39 ERA. A guy who has started six games and was the losing pitcher […]
So, here we are in the most miserable of seasons, and Travis Jankowski does something incredible that reminds us that, no matter how bad the Rangers are, something magical could happen any time, so stay tuned. MLB.com calls it a “once in a lifetime” play. It was a superhuman catch […]
It’s like a stay of execution. You know it’s going to happen, it was just delayed. Yesterday’s game against the White Sox was suspended and delayed until today. Rangers fans just want to get this season over. Pull the switch already. The season has been the lethal injection. Let’s just […]
So here they are. The three days Rangers fans marked on their calendar ever since they swept the White Sox July 22, 23, 24, and 25. Those four wins gave the Rangers five consecutive victories and put Texas within 2.5 games from first and just a game under .500. Ah, […]
Some days it’s the offense. Some days it the pitching. And, when things are not going well, some days it’s the defense. Yesterday it was the defense. The Guardians scored their first run thanks to a throwing error by Cody Bradford in the first. Of course, Adolis Garcia starts off […]
Jon Gray faced fifteen batters yesterday. Seven batters too many. He gave up an unearned run in the first. From that point on, he let the Guardians earn them. He gave them a single, a walk, a double, and a single in the second for three runs. Then a walk, […]
Nathan Eovaldi has been a free-agent signings that worked. Quite often teams throw big money at pitchers and they don’t work out. Jacob deGrom is a prime example. Look at the Diamondbacks signing of Jordan Montgomery. He has pitched so poorly for them, he has recently been demoted to the […]
