This is how a bad team works. One game it’s the offense that lets them down (in this case, many games). When the offense works, it’s the rotation. When the offense and the rotation work, it’s the defense. Or the bullpen. Last night, it was the bullpen. And, to some […]
That’s two games in a row where the offense has shown up. Even Marcus Semien got a hit. And that is rare, indeed, lately. He was 5-for-51 coming into the game. Semien not only got a hit, but he drove in a run. It was such a rare occurrence, in […]
As the Rangers hopes for 2024 dim with every one-two-three inning, it’s time to realistically start thinking about the trade deadline. Even if the Rangers were in contention, you’d have to wonder if they would have added much anyway, given how they avoided spening money in the offseason for fear […]
The Wyatt Langford arrival party happened last night. And on national television, to boot. The Rangers rookie, who had been struggling like every other Ranger in the lineup, broke out in a big way. He hit for the cycle on ESPN Sunday Night Baseball, driving in four of the eleven […]
Overlooked in the struggles of Adolis Garcia, and Nathanial Lowe, and Jonah Heim, and Leody Taveras, and Travis Jankowski, and Robbie Grossman, and Wyatt Langford is the fact that Marcus Semien is having a rough go of it. His batting average and on-base percentage are near career lows at .241/.303. […]
The Orioles tried. Give them credit for that, and a mountain of gratitude. They tried to help the Rangers score more than their customary one run. They tried to help them out of their season-long offensive slump. They tried to let the Rangers mount a rare comeback when trailing after […]
Thank you, Texas Rangers. Thank you for giving us fans our summer back. Thank you for giving us something to do this summer other than hanging on every pitch, every out, every at-bat, every inning. Thank you for allowing us to have cookouts and swim parties, go to the lake, […]
This is what a bad team does. It goes all year getting stellar starting pitching but cannot score enough runs to save its life. But then they finally get the offense they have been lacking all season. Oh, but sorry, their ace has his worst start of the season in […]
And just like that, the four-game winning streak comes to an end. The Rangers anemic offense showed up again alnng with the Rangers philanthropic bullpen. Like two irresponsible drunks out on a bender, they are dangerous together. Jacob Latz put the Rangers in a deep hole by coming in “relief” […]
Max Scherzer’s first start of the season couldn’t have gone any better. Five innings. No runs. One hit. No walks. Four strikeouts. He got a W in his first start, the Rangers won 4-0, and they’ve now won four games in a row, tying their longest winning streak of the […]
