Dane Dunning might be the one pitcher who actually needs an opener. Or a psychologist. He cannot pitch the first inning of a game. Yesterday, he gave up five more first inning runs. In his ten first innings this year, he has now given up fourteen earned runs. That’s a […]
Some days you just take the beating, try to forget it, and come back the next day. You hope the news about Kyle Gibson going on the IL didn’t throw a funk over everyone. You hope the Rangers playing what might be their worst game of the season had nothing […]
Thirty percent of the season is in the books. The Rangers are 22-27, on pace to win 72 games. Of course, the three biggest surprises are Adolis Garcia on the offensive side, Kyle Gibson in the rotation, and Ian Kennedy in the pen. Garcia was basically a toss away by […]
You’d think the Astros would have learned their lesson. After Adolis Garcia hit a three-run walk-off homer to win Friday night’s game, he hit two home runs to spark an 8-4 victory on Saturday. So, when the Garcia came up again in the bottom of the tenth and the winning […]
Another day, another Adolis Garcia highlight. Or, more aptly, highlights. On Saturday, he hit two solo home runs to power the Rangers to an 8-4 victory over the Astros. His home run in the fifth cut the Astros lead to 4-3. His home run in the seventh sparked a five-run […]
Ah. Doe. Lease. Ah. Doe. Lease. Ah. Doe. Lease. Rangers fans have a new Na-Po-Lee chant. Ah. Doe. Lease. Ah. Doe. Lease. Ah. Doe. Lease. *****TODAY’S GAME:
Chris Woodward changed his mind. Last year, he started an uproar after publicly weeping and pearl-clutching when Fernando Tatis Jr—gasp—swung at 3-0. And hit a grand slam. You’d think he committed an act of indecency in front of women and children. It was worse, though. He broke one of the unwritten […]
That’s twice. For the second time this season, the Rangers were no-hit. Both at home. First by Joe Musgrove of the Padres. Last night by a former Rangers with a long, storied history in Arlington spanning all of one inning. Corey Kluber was part of a trade that was the […]
While it seemed cruel at the time, and a little bit knee jerk, maybe the Braves were justified in dumping Mike Foltynewicz after just one start in 2020. They’d seen enough. Here’s a pitcher who had one good year. It was very good, in fact. In 2018, he was an […]
Okay, imagine Mohammad Ali in his prime. He steps into the ring. His opponent is a five-year-old girl. You are in Vegas. You place a bet on that fight. Say, $10 million dollars to win. Nobody in the civilized world would question that. Last night, Jordan Lyles beat Garrit Cole. […]
