Same input. Same output. Insert Rangers reliever. Remove Rangers chances of victory. Until something changes, nothing will change. ***** HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY TO EVERYONE IN RR3 NATION. AND TO EVERYONE WHO SERVED, YOU HAVE OUR GRATITUDE AND APPRECIATION.
After being thrown to the wolves against Atlanta two weeks ago to give the entire Rangers rotation one more day of rest, Cody Bradford is making his second start. This time it’s because Dane Dunning is on paternity leave. Maybe the headlights won’t be as blinding to the dear this […]
Guilty. Guilty of doubting Leody Taveras. Guilty of thinking he would never be able to hit major league pitching. Guilty of chalking him up as yet another Jon Daniels talent development failure. Forgotten in much of this was the fact that Taveras is now only twenty-four. He was just twenty […]
The Rangers go to Baltimore for three games. Texas is in first. Baltimore is in second. Wait. Texas first? Baltimore second? Is this some sort of bizarro world, opposite universe dream? Aren’t these two throw-in-the-towel teams? Each team’s last six seasons have been almost mirror images of one another. Shop […]
And that is how a Rangers game should go this year. Get an early lead, hold into the lead—barely. Hold being the word of note, here. The Hold stat is one of the most worthless stats in baseball. It started as a way to give middle relievers a little love […]

You have to beat the teams you’re supposed to beat. And the Rangers beat Colorado like a drum. They beat them all three games. They beat them by a combined score of 31-10. They racked up 38 hits in three games. They never trailed in a single game for a […]
Rangers baseball is fun again. Rangers fans can watch a game and not turn it off once the other team gets a lead, knowing the Rangers offense was done for the day after the fifth inning. Rangers fans can watch a game and not turn it off after the third […]
Adolis Garcia is an RBI machine. In the past few seasons, he had a knack for hitting a dramatic home run. A game-tying or game-winning blast. But this year, he has stepped up his game. He is driving in runs at a crazy pace. With his fourth inning two-run homer […]
