Once again, Josh Smith came into the season not having a position. The infield was set with newly-acquired Jake Burger at first, Marcus Semien at second, Corey Seager at short, and Josh Jung at third. The outfield was overcrowded with Wyatt Langford, Leody Taveras, Adolis Garcia, and Kevin Pillar. And […]
You have to give it to Chris Young. Forced to rebuild a failed bullpen over the offseason on a shoestring budget, he created one of the best bullpens in baseball. He added Chris Martin, Hoby Milner, Shawn Armstrong, Robert Garcia, Luke Jackson, and Jacob Webb. Only Jacob Latz and Cole […]
Well, for the first two months of the season, the only Ranger hitting was Corey Seager. It was him, then a lineup full of 0-for-4s. Occasionally, someone else would squirt out a single here and there and the Rangers would eke out a run or two. Then, Seager was injured, […]
After winning three in a row, the Rangers reverted to their usual low-scoring offense, mustering just two runs against a Twins starter with a 5.40 ERA who gave up eight earned runs in just three innings his last start. They scored a run in the second and a run in […]
The last time the Rangers won consecutive games was early May, and they ended up winning six in a row, three of those, however, were against the lowly Rockies. But two were against the Tigers, the best team in the major league. Two in a row isn’t that remarkable for […]

What if this is the best this team can be? What if the offense is hitting to its potential? What if Chris Young’s judgment was clouded by 2023 when, in fact, the output of 2024 and 2024 is the real Rangers offense? What if Josh Jung isn’t more than a […]
The staff at Rangers Rounding 3rd have decided to make our daily output equal to that of the Rangers offense. With that… *****
The ballot for the All-Star game is out. What a difference a couple years makes. In 2023, the Rangers had five position players start the All-Star Game—at catcher, second, short, third, and right. This year, the Rangers will have none. Not even close. Jonah Heim batted .282 in the first […]
The Rangers are 6-24 when the opposition scores first, giving them an 80 percent chance of losing once the other team has scored. The Rangers have scored the fewest runs of any team in the last three innings. In the Rangers twenty-nine wins, once they are down after seven innings, […]
