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 […]

The Rangers September to Remember continues with their fifth consecutive win, and seventh win out of ten games in the month. After beating the New York Mets 8-3 last night, Texas is 6-1 against three playoff-contending teams in this stretch. The usual unusual heroes stepped up again. With the Rangers […]
After nine years as the ace of the New York Mets rotation, winning a Rookie of the Year Award, two Cy Young Awards, and three All-Star appearances, Jacob deGrom returns where he began: Citi Field. Degrom makes his first-ever start against his former team. He was beloved in Queens. In […]
The good news: The Rangers swept the Brewers. The bad news: The Rangers didn’t pick up a single game on the Mariners. Making up ground, even a little, is so hard to do when you have to rely on the teams ahead of you to lose rather than beating them […]
In 2023, it was Evan Carter who came out of nowhere to be the Rangers savior. Will 2025’s Evan Carter be Michael Helman? After driving in all five runs in the Rangers 5-0 shutout over the Brewers on Monday, the twenty-nine-year-old rookie homered again on Tuesday, a two-run shot that […]
