This is the Rangers. They just cannot get any kind of sustained winning going. Cannot make headway. Cannot take advantage of a starter with an ERA over 7.00. Cannot take advantage of an excellent seven-inning start by Cody Bradford. Cannot get the hit they need with runners in scoring position and […]
After being swept by the Astros, the Rangers started a stretch of games against teams they should beat. Or, in their case, should go .500 against. They played the Giants for three, won two of them. They played the Orioles for three, won two of them. Now it’s four against […]
The two pitchers the Rangers have been waiting on have finally returned. Cody Bradford made a start Wednesday after being out nearly two seasons. He went 4.1 shutout innings in a 6-0 victory over the Giants. Yesterday, Jordan Montgomery returned to the mound for his first appearance in nearly two […]
On July 9 of this year, Six Flags of Texas debuted a new roller coaster called the Tormenta. It is the talles and fastest dive coaster in the world. At two-minutes and fifty-four seconds, the ride is also the longest dive coaster in the world. Two-minutes and fifty-four seconds has […]
The most exciting play in baseball is the play at the plate, trying to nail the runner attempting to score. So many moving part. So much has to go right for it to work. With the Rangers holding a slim 2-1 lead heading into the ninth, they naturally brought in […]

As much as Seattle wishes it was, it’s not. It’s not in the race for the A.L. West. It’s hard to make up ground when you constantly lose. It’s a two-team race and the Rangers are barely in it. They’re desperately trying to make up ground, picking up a game […]
Jacob Latz had gone 22 straight appearances without a blown save or a loss. In that stretch, he recorded 16 saves and two wins. That’s a pretty dominating run for a closer. So, you can excuse him for not being perfect. Last night, he recorded his first blown save since […]
Needing a huge infusion of talent to stop a five-game skid and to give themselves a fighting chance to stay in the playoff race, the Rangers came out of the trade deadline with a run-of-the-mill middle-inning relief pitcher. Adam Macko is a 25-year-old lefthanded rookie who came to Texas from […]
The Rangers were in first place at the beginning of the week, with a chance to really make a move to solidify themselves in the weakest division in baseball. Then they lost five in a row, including being swept in a three-game series by the only other team in their […]
