Assuming you are one of the ten percent of Rangers fans who can actually watch games, don’t turn off the TV. The Rangers now have nine comeback wins. Six of their last eight games the Rangers have scored the go-ahead runs in the sixth inning or later to turn a […]
He came into camp under the radar. After fifteen seasons in the KBO, Korea’s major league, in which he had won an MVP, Hyeon-jong Yang wanted to see what he could do in America. So, he became a free agent, fielded offers for a major league contract, and was signed […]
This team may finish in last place. Or maybe even fourth. But one thing is sure. This team has moments where it seems like it can come back from anything. And that makes it the most fun bad team the Rangers have had in a long time. Down 3-1 going […]
You have to feel for Dane Dunning. His defense let him down. His offense let him down. Then his manager let him down. A bad throw from Joey Gallo that sailed over the third baseman’s head allowed the first run to score. Jose Trevino forgetting to tag the runner at […]
Well, that was awesome. The one thing that makes a team fun to watch, as well actually competitive, is its ability to score late. For the first couple weeks of the season, the Rangers scored in the first inning, then, like retirees in Florida, called it a night after the […]

That is the fate of the Texas Rangers. Unable to develop a single viable starting pitcher in the entire run of the Jon Daniels era, they are resigned to finding it. This is what happens when you cannot grow your own pitching. You are at the mercy of someone else’s. […]
So, is this Kyle Gibson guy for real? He sure seems to be right now. After his very Kyle Gibson-like opening day start, he has been a different pitcher. Last night was more of the new Gibson. And a glimpse into what good baseball looks like. Great pitching, great defense, […]
This is what happens with young pitchers. It’s a learning curve. Dane Dunning was brilliant in his first three starts. Not so brilliant in his last two. And two of the those brilliant starts were against bonafide contending teams: Toronto and Tampa Bay. The other against Baltimore. Then he faced […]
Forgive Rangers fans but it’s been a while since they could say this: The Rangers have a second baseman. The promise of Nick Solak is starting to emerge. This is a testament to what happens when you give a player a permanent position and just let him play and quit […]
