The Rangers have been here before. One game under .500. Trying desperately to get to even. Trying even more desperately to get above .500 and be relevant. They lost the first game of the season, so technically they were a game under right away. But that was before the world […]
You’re on a long car trip with the family in a car with broken AC, bad tires, and no radio. It’s just you, a car full of screaming kids, with the windows rolled down in a desperate attempt to get some air but also to dampen the screeching of all […]
Let’s go out on a limb here and say the Rangers aren’t winning the A.L. West. Granted, that’s a very short limb, but it’s true. It’s going to be Houston again, barring some major cataclysmic shift in the cosmic universe. Texas cannot make up any ground on Houston. They were […]
Josh Jung just got a huge dose of reality. He’s not a very good hitter right now and it’s time to go back and learn how to be in the minor leagues. The Rangers did it with Evan Carter this year. They did it with Jake Burger. Even Wyatt Langford […]
So, who had the better night last night in Texas’s 10-2 win over Baltimore? Was it Bruce Bochy who had to use only one relief pitcher after four straight nights of a bullpen parade due to four consecutive extra-inning games? Was it Jacob Latz, that relief pitcher, who threw three […]
It’s bad enough this team tortures its fans for nine innings a game every night. But forcing fans to sit through extra innings of this torture is the very definition of cruel and inhumane punishment. For the fourth game in a row, the Rangers went extra innings. They have lost […]
Even with the best pitching in baseball, the Rangers are at a huge disadvantage. They are the only team in baseball that doesn’t benefit from pitching to the Rangers. Could you imagine how much better the Rangers pitching staff would be if they got to face the Rangers bats? What this […]
When you look at some of the numbers, they’re staggering. The Rangers have the best over pitching in baseball, having passed the Mets for lowest team ERA at 3.24, with the second-best rotation ERA at 3.26 (to the Mets 3.23) and the second-best bullpen ERA in baseball at 3.30 (to […]
They were so close to doing what they hadn’t done before. So close to coming back to win. The Rangers hadn’t won a game this year by coming back from more than two runs, and then, only once. You cannot be a good team if you fold up your tent […]
Every time Jacob deGrom takes the mound, he seems to get better. Last night was one of the more dominating pitching performances of his dominating pitching career. He was perfect through six innings. Baltimore hitters were totally baffled. Through the first six innings they didn’t have anything that even resembled […]
