Even with the best pitching in baseball, the Rangers are at a huge disadvantage. They are the only team in baseball that doesn’t benefit from pitching to the Rangers. Could you imagine how much better the Rangers pitching staff would be if they got to face the Rangers bats? What this […]
When you look at some of the numbers, they’re staggering. The Rangers have the best over pitching in baseball, having passed the Mets for lowest team ERA at 3.24, with the second-best rotation ERA at 3.26 (to the Mets 3.23) and the second-best bullpen ERA in baseball at 3.30 (to […]
They were so close to doing what they hadn’t done before. So close to coming back to win. The Rangers hadn’t won a game this year by coming back from more than two runs, and then, only once. You cannot be a good team if you fold up your tent […]
At 40-41, the Rangers have reached the halfway point of the season. Eighty-one games down. Eighty-one games to go. It’s been a slog. It’s been the tale of two half-seasons. The Rangers have gotten dominating pitching. In the fifty-five years the team has been in Arlington, this is the best […]

Nobody kept the baseball for his mantle. That’s because it’s just the franchise record, not the […]
And now it’s the battle of the two most disappointing teams, the Orioles and the Rangers. Both teams were supposed to be competing for their respective division titles. Both have failed miserably. One, Baltimore, fired its manager. The other, Texas, fired its pitching coach. But both were, if one was […]
You can say this about the 2025 Rangers season. It’s boring. There are absolutely no surprises in a Texas Rangers game. You know early on how it’s going to end. That’s because they play only two types of Rangers games. Game A, in which they score four runs early and […]
