In 2023, it was Evan Carter who came out of nowhere to be the Rangers savior. Will 2025’s Evan Carter be Michael Helman? After driving in all five runs in the Rangers 5-0 shutout over the Brewers on Monday, the twenty-nine-year-old rookie homered again on Tuesday, a two-run shot that […]
Who is Micheal Helman and how has he quietly become one of the better Rangers bats? His 2025 year is quite a redemption story. Helman is a twenty-nine-year-old outfielder who was drafted by the Minnesota Twins in 2018 and toiled away in their minor league system for seven seasons, finally […]
The first of their final seven series is of their seasons is over, and both the Rangers and Mariners went 2-1, meaning Texas didn’t pick up any ground. They didn’t lose any, either. Yesterday the Mariner pounded the Brave 18-2, while the Rangers beat the Astros 4-2. Scores don’t matter. […]
At this point, it really doesn’t matter whether the Rangers lose 1-0 or 11-0. Both yield the same result, an L in a rapidly diminishing supply of games. That their 11-0 trouncing came at the hands of the Astros is irrelevant. The Astros are not their target. Seattle is. Seattle […]
Five weeks ago, Dustin Harris was DFAed. The Rangers acquired Merril Kelly, Phil Maton, and Danny Coulombe and needed to make room on their forty-man roster. Harris was the odd man out. At one time, Harris had been a valued Rangers prospect. But, like with Blaine Crimm and Justin Foscue, […]
The Rangers return home for six games against two division leaders, three against Houston and three against Milwaukee. It’s playoff-caliber baseball with a roster that has been getting by on smoke and mirrors due to injuries. Texas plays well at home and Houston has been struggling to score runs. And […]
You think it’s tough being a Rangers fan this year? At least you’re not a Mariners fan any year. The only reason the Ranger have a legitimate shot at catching the Mariners for that third wild card spot is because it’s the Mariners. If it was any other team ahead […]
The six-game winning streak ended when the Rangers lost a 2-0 lead, eventually losing the game 5-3. Jacob Latz, getting the chance to be part of the Rangers rotation because of the injury to Nathan Eovaldi, did his best Eovaldi imitation for five innings, holding the Diamondbacks scoreless. But walks […]
How does a team lose four of its best players and actually get better? Without Corey Seager, Marcus Semien, Evan Carter, and Nathan Eovaldi, the Rangers have run off a string of six wins in a row. They’ve won nine out of ten games. They’re getting hits with two strikes. […]
It’s September First. The dog days of summer are, indeed here. The waning days of the season. Eight more three-game series, which in math terms means twenty-four more games, twelve on the road, twelve at home. The Texas Rangers are two-and-a-half games out of the third wild card spot. By […]
