Now it gets interesting. The Rangers head to New York to take on the Yankees. And Joey Gallo. And Isiah Kiner-Falefa. And Jose Trevino. With the pitcher they got for Joe Gallo pitching tonight, probably to the catcher they essentially got for Kiner-Falefa. The Rangers have won four in a […]
The Rangers took a 0-0 game into the tenth inning last night. They could muster only six hits, same as the Phillies. Can’t anyone hit anymore? Looking at the roster, Corey Seager is hitting .253. Marcus Semien, .179. Mitch Garver, .189. Adolis Garcia, .200. Andy Ibañez, .258. Nick Solak, .220. […]
For the first day, at least, General Manager Chris Young’s decision to send down Willie Calhoun paid dividends. The guy Calhoun was replaced with on the major league roster, Zach Reks, delivered the game-winning dagger. In a 3-3 tie going into the sixth inning, the Rangers took advantage of yet […]
Willie Calhoun hopes he has played his last game as a Ranger. Stand in line, Willie. Most Rangers fans are in front of you. And they’ve been waiting for that same outcome a long while. Calhoun was optioned to Triple-A on Sunday as part of the MLB mandated thinning of […]

Talking about the Rangers is a lot like doing the weather forecast in Texas in summer. The same story day after day after day. It’s going to be hot. The Rangers are going to lose. The Rangers built a roof to deal with the heat. Next, they need to build […]
For six innings, Martin Perez was perfect. For six innings, the Texas Rangers couldn’t score a run to support him. That seems to be the reoccurring theme for 2022. Great in one aspect of the game, struggling in another. The offense just wasn’t there last night, or really any of […]
This is what happens when you are stuck in the mud and hopelessly spinning your wheels trying to get out. Out of desperation, you decide to bat Kole Calhoun first. Every man, woman, and child in Rangers nation does a collective double take. Wait? What? Is this the action of […]
Joey Gallo hit a home run last night. It wasn’t enough to quiet the wolves. Yankees fans want him gone. It’s sad to see how far former Ranger Joey Gallo has fallen since being traded to the Yankees. He was always a head case here. Always on the verge of […]
