Milwaukee gave up a three-run homer in the top of the first. So, what do they do? They hit their own three-run homer in the bottom of the first. This is from a team that doesn’t use the home run ball to win games. They won the most games of […]
Watching Toronto destroy the Yankees that last two days, while satisfying, was also a bit depressing. It really highlighted just how far away from being good the Rangers offense was in 2025. The Blue Jay make contact, they rarely strike out. In fact, during the first two games of their […]
Can anyone stop the Dodgers? Remember in the offseason when they bought every single free agent, some they didn’t even need? They just bought them so nobody else could. They amassed this super team. They went out and started the season 8-0 and were never going to lose. There were […]
To the surprise of absolutely nobody, the Rangers named Skip Shumaker their next manager, replacing Bruce Bochy. It’s difficult replacing a legend. Just ask every third baseman the Rangers have run out since Adrian Beltre. But at least Shumaker has managerial experience. Before Chris Young came on board, the Rangers […]
You have to hand to Detroit. After authoring the biggest collapse in major league history, blowing a fifteen-and-a-half-game lead over Cleveland in the A.L. Central, they faced those same Guardians, and knocked them out of the playoffs. Their offense finally got mad, finally showed their embarrassment and humiliation, and finally […]
Three of the four wildcard series are going to an elimination game. Detroit and Cleveland. Boston and New York. San Diego and Chicago. In the fourth wildcard series, Los Angeles knocked out Cincinnati in two games and will move on to face Philadelphia. It will be a great day of […]
For the eighth time in the last nine years, the playoffs have started without the Rangers. The idea that they are building a winning tradition of baseball here is a myth. Either they are incompetent. Or they are lying. Jon Daniels had early success as the Rangers general manager, then […]
The news of Bruce Bochy stepping down as Rangers’ manager comes as a surprise to no one. When his contract was allowed to expire, it was just a matter of time before his tenure expired. If he was coming back, they’d have signed him already. As relayed by Jeff Wilson […]
Bruce Bochy’s contract expired with yesterday’s final out. Rangers President of Baseball Operations, and the man responsible for pulling Bochy out of retirement, said he would meet with Bochy once the season is over to discuss his situation. It’s a bit curious that he hasn’t already re-signed for 2026 and […]
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 […]
