Yearly Archives: 2025


Poof.

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 […]


Mojo gone.

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 […]


It’s Adolis time.

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 […]


How is this happening?

Last night, the Milwaukee Brewers became the first team to clinch a playoff spot in 2025. Not the mighty Dodgers with their $348-million payroll. Not the Mets with their $339-million payroll. Or the Yankees and their $297-million payroll. The Brewers. Whose payroll is twenty-third in all of baseball at $112 […]


Five in a row.

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 […]


It’s deGrom time.

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 […]


Sweeping in place.

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 […]


Helman again.

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 […]


It’s Michael Helman’s game.

Who is Micheal Helman and how has he quietly become one of the better Rangers bats? His 2025 year is quite a redemption story. Helman is a twenty-nine-year-old outfielder who was drafted by the Minnesota Twins in 2018 and toiled away in their minor league system for seven seasons, finally […]


Rangers stay 1.5 behind Mariners.

The first of their final seven series is of their seasons is over, and both the Rangers and Mariners went 2-1, meaning Texas didn’t pick up any ground. They didn’t lose any, either.  Yesterday the Mariner pounded the Brave 18-2, while the Rangers beat the Astros 4-2. Scores don’t matter. […]
