It’s frustrating to lose a game like the Rangers did yesterday. Up 5-1 with one of the best pitchers in baseball, an All-Star in fact, on the mound. Then you take him out after five. And they Rangers plunging bullpen plunged further. But when you look at the Mariners on the […]
That was the Jon Gray the Rangers envisioned when they signed the thirty-year-old right-hander to a four-year deal in the off-season. After seven seasons with Colorado, which is about as intense of a pitching environment as possible because of the thin air in Denver, Gray landed with Texas, a pitching […]
The Texas Rangers are pleased to announce they are offering a fan experience unlike anything else in Major League Baseball. Every other team offers batting practice before the game. It’s usually an hour or so before first pitch. Gates open early to accommodate fans who want to come early to […]
A win is a win. Even an ugly win. But what do you read into yesterday’s win? Did Spencer Howard turn a corner? This was the first time as a Ranger he had seen the fifth inning from the playing field, which is pitiful considering he’s started eleven games. It’s […]
The All-Star Game rosters were announced. Once again, no Rangers position player will be in the starting lineup. Just like in 2021. And 2019. And 2018. And 2017. And 2016. And 2015. And 2014. And 2013. In 2019, Hunter Pence was named the starting DH but he had to bow […]
Hope. That’s what yesterday’s 7-6 come from behind win over the first place Minnesota Twins represented. Hope. Imagine what this team can do when Marcus Semien and Corey Seager carry the offense as they did yesterday and, really, the day before that, too. In Game 82 of the season, Semien […]
Even though the Rangers were swept in Baltimore, they scored a ton of runs in their first two games of that series. They broke open last night’s game with a six-run explosion in the fifth, then hung on for dear life. They are scoring runs, at least. Even if the […]
When the news on their field isn’t as good as it should be, maybe it’s time to turn our attention to another field. This one is guaranteed to be fun. Yesterday, the Rangers announced the opening of their new wiffleball park in The Shed. Of course, it’s sponsored. Nothing is […]
After being swept in Baltimore, the Rangers are now 1-5 in July. They started June 1-5 as well. That was after finally, for the first time in seemingly forever, getting to .500 on the last day of May. The Rangers recovered from their slow start in June to end up […]
In a franchise known for historically bad pitching, have there been many worse starters for the Texas Rangers ever than Spencer Howard? He came to the Rangers at the trade deadline of 2021 for Kyle Gibson and Ian Kennedy. The Phillies were happy to get rid of him. He made […]
