Joc Pederson hit a lead-off homer for the Rangers. Then, they quit. They called it a night. They folded up their tent and went home, picking up three harmless singles the rest of the night in their dismal 4-1 loss to the Twins. It was Texas’s eighth loss in a […]
Six games left. Other than possibly having a say in whether the Astros make the playoffs, there’s really nothing the Rangers have to play for. Getting to .500? At this point, what does it matter? Their final home stand is three uneventful games in a largely forgettable season. There’s really […]
What could have been a satisfying end to the season has turned into an embarrassing thud. Seven losses in a row and counting. Stuck on seventy-nine wins, there’s a good chance the Rangers don’t even get to .500. They will need to win two of their final six games. Nothing […]
Well, it looks like we know how the Rangers were able to handle the pressure of a pennant race. They weren’t. When the needed to win the most, they’ve lost the most game in a row they’ve lost all season. Six straight losses have put the Rangers hopes on life […]
Usually, when a team is just playing out the schedule, there is something to root for. Individual stats. Milestones. Something. Other than the unlikely chance that Bruce Bochy ends the season with his managerial record at 2259-2259, there’s nothing. No Cy Young run. No ERA title. That went away when […]
Three against the Marlins. Three against the Twins. Three against the Guardians. At first blush you think these nine games mean nothing. They don’t mean much The first six games are meaningless contests against under .500 teams. The last three, the Rangers could play spoiler. Cleveland is breathing down that […]
It’s all over but the paperwork. The Rangers disappointing 2025 season effectively ended with three disappointing losses to the Houston Astros. It might be convenient to say this losing started the moment Adolis Garcia returned. And it did. Since coming off the IL, the Rangers are 0-4. In his four […]
And just like that, three straight losses. And just like that, the Rangers season is effectively over. Three straight losses put the Rangers three-and-a-half games behind the Red Sox for the third and final wild card spot, but a game behind the Guardians in the quest. In other words, with […]
Is it just a coincidence? Is it the inevitable course correction after playing over their heads? Or is there something to it? But the Rangers were cruising, then Adolis Garcia came back, and now they’re losing. Texas is 0-2 in Garcia’s two games back. Did it mess with the chemistry […]
If ever the Rangers needed Adolis Garcia back, it’s for the next three games against the Astros. Garcia seems to come alive against Houston. He destroyed them in the playoffs in 2023 and has continued to be a thorn in their paw. It’s Adolis time again. The Rangers final twelve-game […]
