Well, at least the Rangers stopped their pattern of lose, lose, win, lose, lose, win. Lose, lose, lose wasn’t exactly what anyone was hoping for, though. And now it gets hard. The easy part of the April schedule is over. The Rangers finished 1-5 for the six games they should […]
The more things change, the more they stay the same. The Rangers thought they could add Corey Seager, Marcus Semien, and Mitch Garver and that would move them toward contention. Seager plays shortstop. Semien, second. Garver, catcher. Not one of those guys pitches. Which is something that can be said […]
Angels manager Joe Maddon is considered one of the best managers in baseball. He is unconventional. One time he made his lineup according to the position that player was playing. When you score a game, the pitcher is position 1. So, he batted his pitcher first. The catcher is 2, […]
Seager & Heim. Sounds like one of those law firms that screams at you from your TV telling you how many millions they can get for some frivolous lawsuit and calling themselves the hammer from Texas or the heavy hitters of justice or some other silly slogan, as if you’d […]
Edsel was one of the biggest failures in automotive history. It hit the market with a ton of fanfare and hype. Then consumers saw it on the dealership lot. And that’s where most of them stayed. One of the knocks against Edsels was that it seemed the front of the […]
The thing about having a team built around offense is that the other team has defense. And major leaguers are capable of making some incredible defensive plays. And those can break your heart. So, instead of Corey Seager hitting a lead-flipping three-run homer in the fifth, Colorado’s centerfielder Randal Grichuk […]
The Rangers pulled a rare feat by getting beat in two different cities in the same day. They lost to the Rockies 6-4 in Arlington. They lost to the MLB replay room in the Chelsea Market building in New York City. It was one of the most frustrating ways possible […]
It appears Nick Solak isn’t going to fade into the night. Or worse, get traded to either the Yankees or Orioles the way other failed Rangers have. Solak came to the Rangers in 2019 in a trade with the Rays. He made an immediate impact, racking up an on-base percentage […]
Dane Dunning did what Dane Dunning does. He struggled in the first inning. That was his downfall last year as well. In 2021, his first-inning ERA was 7.92. He gave up runs in the first in nearly half his starts. In the second inning, though, he had an 0.36 ERA. […]
From the first batter, it was obvious this wasn’t the same old Rangers. This wasn’t the flail at three pitches then go sit down with your bat in your hands Rangers. This wasn’t the strikeout out ten or a dozen or fifteen times per game Rangers, where scoring runs was […]
