It was Bat Day at The Shed yesterday. The first 15,000 fans got a free bat. Maybe the Rangers should have hung on to a few of those for themselves. The managed only seven hits and two runs in another extra-inning loss. They are now 4-7 in extra inning games. […]
What a turn of events. Sometimes games come down to one pitch. Sometimes the margin between hero and frustration is measured by one pitch. The outcome can go one way. Or it can all totally fall apart. On one pitch. Down one run, the Rangers sent A.J. Alexy out for the […]
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 […]
