So, here we are in the most miserable of seasons, and Travis Jankowski does something incredible that reminds us that, no matter how bad the Rangers are, something magical could happen any time, so stay tuned. MLB.com calls it a “once in a lifetime” play. It was a superhuman catch […]
It’s like a stay of execution. You know it’s going to happen, it was just delayed. Yesterday’s game against the White Sox was suspended and delayed until today. Rangers fans just want to get this season over. Pull the switch already. The season has been the lethal injection. Let’s just […]
So here they are. The three days Rangers fans marked on their calendar ever since they swept the White Sox July 22, 23, 24, and 25. Those four wins gave the Rangers five consecutive victories and put Texas within 2.5 games from first and just a game under .500. Ah, […]
Some days it’s the offense. Some days it the pitching. And, when things are not going well, some days it’s the defense. Yesterday it was the defense. The Guardians scored their first run thanks to a throwing error by Cody Bradford in the first. Of course, Adolis Garcia starts off […]
Jon Gray faced fifteen batters yesterday. Seven batters too many. He gave up an unearned run in the first. From that point on, he let the Guardians earn them. He gave them a single, a walk, a double, and a single in the second for three runs. Then a walk, […]

Finally, twenty-two innings later, the Rangers scored a run. Corey Seager’s three-run homer on Monday in Game 1 of this three-game series against the Pirates came in the third inning. The Rangers didn’t score the rest of that game. Didn’t score at all in Game 2 on Tuesday. And didn’t […]
Shut out by the Pirates. Shut out by a starting pitcher who, in his last two starts gave up fifteen earned runs in nine total innings. And not just shut out, shut down. Only three hits. Three singles. Not even a walk. Not even a runner to second base. This […]
The Rangers too little too late portion of the season continues, as they got their second straight win, this one against the Pirates. Really, it was Corey Seager who got this win. His two home runs accounted for all four of Texas’s runs, as they hung on to beat Pittsburgh […]
