What’s gotten into Josh Jung? He picked up three hits for the third game in a row. In his last seven games, in fact, Jung is 15-for-29, hitting a whopping .517, with a Hall of Fame worthy OPS of 1.257. In the second half, he’s hitting .311. That’s quite a […]
If the Rangers harbor any hope of pulling off a miracle, it’s going to take guys to step up and perform at a level they aren’t used to. Last night, Josh Jung, a major league average hitter for most of his career, found another gear and collected three hits. Jonah […]
The impossible just got impossibler. It was going to take a miracle for the Rangers to make up enough ground to win the A.L. West, or to win enough games while the teams ahead of them lost in order to sneak into a wild card slot. Then, they lost Marcus […]
You have to give it to this Rangers team. They sure know how to frustrate their fans. A 20-3 whacking of the Angels looks nice. Very impressive. A lot of stats padded. This makes them 5-1 on this six-game homestand and it pumps a few last gasps of oxygen in […]
If the struggle to remain at .500 didn’t say it, or the 26-40 road record didn’t say it, or the offense worse than the White Sox, Rockies, and Pirates didn’t say it, then then news that Nathan Eovaldi is likely gone for the season screamed it loud and clear. The […]
The Rangers are, apparently, not only saving Jacob deGrom for the playoffs, but they’re also saving their runs for the playoffs. In typical Rangers’ fashion, they come off a dominating three-game sweep with a thud. The fire the offense displayed against Cleveland was extinguished against Los Angeles. Texas was shutout […]
The Rangers are back to .500, have won three in a row, are playing at home where they are a much better team, and have leapfrogged the Cleveland Guardians in the wild card race. The Rangers not only swept Cleveland, but they also dismantled them. On Friday, they walked off […]
When you win a game ten to nothing, there are two stories. The ten. And the nothing. First, the nothing. Jack Leiter pitched the best game of his young career last night. He’d gone seven innings in a game only once before. He did that last night. He’d never struck […]
It took three just pitches. Three pitches to blitzkrieg over the Cleveland Guardians in the ninth. Three pitches to stun both Guardian fans and Ranger fans alike. Three pitches to remind us of what this team could have been and, conversely, what this team has squandered. It was another typical […]
The most disappointing aspect of the Rangers inability to win games is that they have been unable to gain ground in the American League West. Nobody wants to win the division. The Houston Astros are 8-11 in August. They just suffered a five-game stretch where they were shutout in four […]
