Mark Clark started fifteen games for the Rangers in 1999. He came over from the Cubs where, two years before, in an injury-shortened season, he posted a really nice 2.86 ERA. But that was then. This was two years after then. That year, in 1999, Clark registered an ungodly […]
When you score just one run a game, you aren’t going to win too many. The Rangers won just two 1-0 games in 2017. But that’s the inevitable outcome of one of the weaker offenses in baseball facing what is shaping up to be the best pitching staff in […]
Someone call the jeweler, the Rangers pitching staff just cut a gem. Cole Hamels and the Texas bullpen tossed a one-hitter at the World Champion Houston Astros, shutting them out 1-0 in a good old-fashioned pitching dual. It was the Rangers first shutout of the year. And it couldn’t […]
Attendance is down in baseball ten percent. Attendance is down in Arlington fifteen percent. That is according to the Dallas Morning News. But you don’t have to read the local paper to know that. All you have to have is a working pair of eyes, or even one working […]
A home run to tie it. A home run to win it. His first multi-home run game. His first walk-off home run. Nomar Mazara took that next step on the road to greatness. And it was a huge step. May is nine days old and already Mazara has seven […]

Nobody ever said they had to be pretty. But that one last night was a thing of beauty. Ugly beauty. The ugly: Another Matt Moore crash and burn job. He comes into the game with an ERA of 7.67 and leaves the game with it a few clicks south […]
The four-game series started out so promisingly with a win in the first game highlighted by the Rangers biggest offensive explosion of the season. Unfortunately, they scored just one run in the next game and in the fourth game, and lost the remaining three to the Boston Red Sox. […]
The Rangers lost another game to pitch counts. Cole Hamels had given up just two earned runs and five hits through six innings. But he committed the unpardonable sin of getting to 100 pitches, which meant he had to come out of the game. And when he left, so […]
Major League Baseball staged its 2018 Home Run Derby at the Ballpark in Arlington last night. Texas pitching served up four to the Red Sox hitters. Boston pitching gave up one to Rangers hitters. It was another one of those games all to frequent in major league baseball lately […]
