It’s time.

The last time the Rangers won consecutive games was early May, and they ended up winning six in a row, three of those, however, were against the lowly Rockies. But two were against the Tigers, the best team in the major league. Two in a row isn’t that remarkable for […]


Signs of life?

Two in a row. It’s almost like a winning streak. The Rangers scored nine runs in the last two games. With their pitching, that’s a recipe for winning. It’s good to see Marcus Semien starting to crawl out of the deep hole he dug himself into. And it was good […]


Maybe 2023 was a fluke.

What if this is the best this team can be? What if the offense is hitting to its potential? What if Chris Young’s judgment was clouded by 2023 when, in fact, the output of 2024 and 2024 is the real Rangers offense? What if Josh Jung isn’t more than a […]


Cupboard is bare.

The ballot for the All-Star game is out. What a difference a couple years makes. In 2023, the Rangers had five position players start the All-Star Game—at catcher, second, short, third, and right. This year, the Rangers will have none. Not even close. Jonah Heim batted .282 in the first […]

Texas Rangers Slugger Contender to Land ...

Adios Adolis?

The Rangers just completed the best three games offensively of the year. They scored eleven runs on Friday and eight on Sunday. They got hits with two outs. They played small ball. They had sustained rallies. For three games, at least, they looked like the team everyone expected them to […]


Signs of life.

There appear to be signs of life. They are not yet ready to take them off life support and disconnect the oxygen machine so they can breathe on their own. But it’s the first positive eye twitch. After breaking out for eleven runs on Friday night and then customarily being […]


May Day, May Day.

It was to be expected. After the worst offense in baseball had a brief shining moment Friday night, it reverted to its real self. turns out, that was their May Day. It was reminiscent of their April Day. The Rangers scored eleven runs Friday. Zero Saturday. The Rangers got fifteen hits […]
