What a frustrating season. They had the lowest team batting average in baseball, at .225. Scored the third fewest runs of any team, only dreadful Colorado and Pittsburgh scored fewer. They had the fewest hits and the second-lowest OPS. No, it’s not the Texas Rangers. It’s the Cleveland Guardians. A […]
In this lost season, Texas won’t have a losing record. At least there’s that. With the Rangers 7-3 win over the Guardians, they record their eighty-first win. So, even if they lose their final two games of the season, the worst Texas could finish is 81-81. Perhaps this game was […]
The Rangers gave their fans one last reminder of the season they tortured them with. Their uninspiring 4-0 loss to the Twins in their final home game of 2025 featured everything the Rangers season represented. Great starting pitching. An anemic offense. And a bullpen with no shutdown closer. That Texas […]
Of course, on the day after they were eliminated, they finally win. The Rangers snapped their eight-game losing streak. But their offense wasn’t good enough to do it on its own. Texas had to get a lot of help from wild pitches. That seems to be the Rangers best offensive […]
Joc Pederson hit a lead-off homer for the Rangers. Then, they quit. They called it a night. They folded up their tent and went home, picking up three harmless singles the rest of the night in their dismal 4-1 loss to the Twins. It was Texas’s eighth loss in a […]
Six games left. Other than possibly having a say in whether the Astros make the playoffs, there’s really nothing the Rangers have to play for. Getting to .500? At this point, what does it matter? Their final home stand is three uneventful games in a largely forgettable season. There’s really […]
What could have been a satisfying end to the season has turned into an embarrassing thud. Seven losses in a row and counting. Stuck on seventy-nine wins, there’s a good chance the Rangers don’t even get to .500. They will need to win two of their final six games. Nothing […]
Well, it looks like we know how the Rangers were able to handle the pressure of a pennant race. They weren’t. When the needed to win the most, they’ve lost the most game in a row they’ve lost all season. Six straight losses have put the Rangers hopes on life […]
Usually, when a team is just playing out the schedule, there is something to root for. Individual stats. Milestones. Something. Other than the unlikely chance that Bruce Bochy ends the season with his managerial record at 2259-2259, there’s nothing. No Cy Young run. No ERA title. That went away when […]
Three against the Marlins. Three against the Twins. Three against the Guardians. At first blush you think these nine games mean nothing. They don’t mean much The first six games are meaningless contests against under .500 teams. The last three, the Rangers could play spoiler. Cleveland is breathing down that […]
