Earlier this season the Rangers got a shot in the arm with Adolis Garcia. He came out of nowhere to carry the team on his back. That carried him all the way to the All-Star team. Here’s hoping their latest out-of-nowhere rookie gives this miserable offense a badly needed kickstart […]
Wasting a great start by Mike Foltynewicz is like not hearing a compliment from your spouse. It’s rare and it may never happen again. You can’t expect a better loss out of Mike Folynewicz than his seven-inning, three-earned-run, six-strikeout loss to the Mariners. Unfortunately for Foltynewicz and the vastly shrinking […]
After wading in mediocrity for most of the season, Isiah Kiner-Falefa is quietly having a month. He started slow but picked up steam as May unfolded, hitting as high as .290 by the end of the month. Then, a steady decline, culminating in a forgettable .188 July with a pitcher-like […]
The Rangers finally broke their fourteen-game road losing streak last night. And in the process, they tried to break the hearts of their last remaining handful of fans. They tried very hard to give away the game but, in typical Rangers fashion, were unsuccessful at even that. It was another […]
All of a sudden, Adolis Garcia went from being a guy who’d been DFAed and not wanted and shuffled off to the minor leagues, to the most valuable hitter in a major league lineup. (Major league being debatable.) A rookie. Once the Rangers sent Joey Gallo to the Yankees, there […]
Days like today are among the best this season. There is no Rangers game today. No anemic offense to suffer though. No generous pitching to agonize over. No porous defense to curse at. That fifteenth consecutive road loss will have to wait until tomorrow. So, enjoy your Monday. It’s an […]
Yes, the Jon Daniels Rangers have lost thirteen road games in a row, dropping their road record to a pitiful 13-42. But, there was a silver lining. After twenty-one games in a row without doing so, the Rangers scored a run in the first. Not just one, but two. It […]
Chances are, if you are visiting this site, you are a Rangers fan. Or a masochist. There is a good likelihood you have friends who are not. They are easy to spot. They seem happy. When running into those friends, they often ask the most innocent of questions. “How are […]
When you have the worst team in franchise history, things happen you might not be too proud of. Like this streak. On July 10, the Rangers played the Oakland Athletics in The Shed. It was the Saturday before the All-Star break. It wasn’t a memorable game. Or even an important […]
There’s always anticipation with new. New is fresh. New is hope. New is a clean slate. Spencer Howard makes his first start in a Texas Rangers uniform today. A new pitcher. Making his first start with his new team. With a new lease on life. He’s the new guy. If […]
