The Rangers took three of four against the Red Sox. Here are a few thoughts, some crazier than others. Corey Seager started just two games at short. He DHed one game and sat out one game. Keeping him healthy seems like it’s going to be a season-long challenge. Maybe he […]
Only three games in and we are starting to get a glimpse of how the Rangers might use the back end of the bullpen. Luke Jackson got the first save opportunity on Friday, and converted it, after crashing and burning in a non-save situation on opening day. Then, last night, […]
Game 2 of the season couldn’t have been more satisfying. So many good storylines to make fans feel good about what’s to come. Jack Leiter allowed just one run. He bent a few times but never cracked. It was a marked difference from last year when he seemed to be […]
Luke Jackson gives up a three-run homer in the 9th. When last Rangers fans saw Luke Jackson in a Texas uniform, he was performing about as well as he did last night. A first-round pick by the Rangers in 2010, Jackson made his Rangers debut in 2015. It was unspectacular. […]
Finally, it’s here. After watching other teams battle in the playoffs last year. After watching another team win it all. After a long offseason and what seems like an even longer pre-season of anticipation, opening day is here. For a baseball fanatic, this is the best day of the year. […]
Evan Carter didn’t make the opening day roster. Jack Leiter and Kumar Rocker did. Ezekiel Duran made the opening day roster. The bullpen is Chris Martin, Robert Garcia, Luke Jackson, Jacob Webb, Shawn Armstrong, Hoby Milner, Marc Church, and Gerson Garabito. The rotation appears to be Nathan Eovaldi, Jacob deGrom, […]
We can discuss things like who is playing centerfield, what is the rotation going to look like, who is going to step and and be the closer. But what’s really important as the Rangers head into 2025 is what is new to eat at The Shed? The Rangers announced they […]
The Rangers have waved Dane Dunning. Teams have forty-eight hours in which to make a claim for him. They must pick up the entirety of his $2.66 million salary. Texas acquired Dunning in a trade with the Chicago White Sox for Lance Lynn in 2021. He had been a first-round […]
Jack Leiter pitched six innings yesterday, giving up three runs. That is officially a quality start: six innings or more, three earned runs or fewer. This should be enough of a good spring training to earn Leiter a slot in the Rangers rotation, even if temporarily until Cody Bradford comes […]
Today is the final game in Surprise, Arizona. Then, the Rangers load up the bats and balls and helmets and all the equipment and drive it all back to Arlington for two games against the Royals Monday and Tuesday. Then an off day. Then, opening day on Thursday. Most publications […]
