Texas Rangers


Something to chew on.

Of course, things like the roster and the lineup and the rotation and the bullpen matter. But nobody goes to a Rangers game to see the players. They go for the food. This year, the Rangers introduce a boatload of new concession items for us to stuff our collective mouths […]


Projected lineup.

MLB.com listed every team’s predicted opening day lineup. Here is their prediction for the Rangers. Rangers:1. Marcus Semien, 2B2. Corey Seager, SS3. Evan Carter, LF4. Adolis García, RF5. Josh Jung, 3B6. Jonah Heim, C7. Justin Foscue, 1B8. Wyatt Langford, DH9. Leody Taveras, CFSP: RHP Nathan EovaldiCL: RHP José Leclerc Corey […]


Seager and Jung return.

Like a machine, Corey Seager returns from surgery and months of not stepping into a batter’s box against live pitching in game competition and all he does is go 2-for-2.  Josh Jung didn’t skip a beat, either. He injured his calf within fifteen minutes of the first practice of spring […]


Prediction time.

Time for the highly anticipated, annual Rangers Rounding 3rd predictions. In the ten years of making predictions, we have been one hundred percent correct. This year will prove to be— Sorry, due to a clerical error, the end of the first paragraph was cut off. It should have read: In […]


Rangers add Lorenzen.

He’s not Jordan Montgomery. He’s not Dylan Cease. But the Rangers picked up another starter yesterday. He’s Michael Lorenzen. He’s a thirty-two-year-old right-handed pitcher who is also an outfielder. One would assume with Carter, Langford, Garcia, Taveras, and Jankowski, the Rangers aren’t looking for the lifetime .233 hitter with seven […]


One more week.

The countdown is nearing zero. Opening day is one week away. The Rangers are off today, play a two games tomorrow, then one Sunday. That’s it for Surprise for 2024. They come home for two more practice games, these against Boston, on Monday and Tuesday, take Wednesday off, then it’s […]


It’s Nate for Game 1.

In a surprise to absolutely nobody, Nathan Eovaldi will be the Rangers opening day starter. Every pitch he throws this year will come with Rangers fans flinching. Please don’t get hurt, please don’t get hurt, please don’t get hurt. The thirty-three-year-old righthander spent some time on the IL last season […]


Two Ls.

You win some. You lose some. And sometimes you lose them both. Good thing it’s spring. The Rangers had a split squad doubleheader yesterday. They lost 5-4 against Arizona, and 5-1 against Milwaukee. Wyatt Langford went 2-for-3. The kid just keeps hitting. Matt Duffy went 1-for-3 to put his average […]


Spring fever.

The first Spring Breakout Game is over and the buzz is still resonating across Texas. Like the Silver Boot Series, it’s captured the hearts and minds of every man, woman, and child in the Lone Star state. You couldn’t go anywhere yesterday without people talking about the Spring Breakout Game. […]


Spring Breakout.

Today is the Rangerst first annual Spring Breakout Game. It’s the brainchild of Major League Baseball, sort of like the Futures Game but for spring training. The idea is to spotlight all the great young talent in the pipeline. Today, the top prospects from the Reds take on the top […]
