Texas spent half-a-billion-dollars on their Infield of the Future. You see it on display every day in the middle of the Rangers infield. Move your head slightly to the left and you might just see the real future of the Rangers infield.  Ezequiel Duran. Duran—not Corey Seager or Marcus Semien—has […]

So, there’s this thing called an immaculate inning. It’s when a pitcher throws nine pitches in an inning and records three strikeouts. It’s strike one, strike two, strike three. Strike one, strike two, strike three. Strike one, strike two, strike three. It’s rare. You’d think it would happen often. Especially […]

Turnabout is fair play. Not sure why that is a saying but it is. Not sure exactly what is supposed to be fair about it, either. But after following the fall-behind-early-then-rally-big-late blueprint the previous three games, the Rangers fell victim to that last night. A seemingly controllable 3-0 lead vanished […]

This is how teams earn winning records. This is how teams earn reputations. Three games in a row, the Rangers have staged late come-from-behind rallies to beat two good teams. The White Sox, even though they are mired in third place in their division, are no slouches. And the Astros […]

The last time the Rangers won a series on the Southside of Chicago was 2014. Very little else went right for the Rangers that year but they did win four out of six games that year against the White Sox. One of the games was 16-0. Colby Lewis threw a […]

Seager and Semien. $325 million for ten years and $175 million for seven years. This is Year One. So far, it hasn’t been what anyone would call a success. Every time Corey Seager goes to the plate, the Rangers TV announcers are quick to point out he has the most […]

The Rangers open a three-game series against the White Sox today in Chicago. The White Sox were the pre-season favorites to win the Central, having won it in 2021 and finishing in second in 2020. In fact, Chicago was coming off its first back-to-back postseason appearances ever in team history. […]

Home sweet home. Road rotten road. That’s Dane Dunning’s motto. His road ERA is about a point-and-a-half higher on the road than at home. At home, Dunning is a very respectable 1-1 won-lost, 3.53 ERA, 0.981 WHIP. On the road, 0-0, 4.91, 1.675. It’s that WHIP that is so glaringly […]
