This isn’t Joey Gallo’s walk year in the traditional sense. The year he can walk away and become a free agent is 2022. But 2021 has become a different kind of walk year for Gallo. It’s the year where the only way to get on base is to walk. Sure, walking […]
Unfortunately, this is what happens when you have a team that’s rosterly challenged. You get great pitching, you lose because you can’t hit. You hit, you lose because you can’t pitch. You can’t pitch, you lose because you can’t hit either. After winning two of three against the Angels, the […]
Another great start from a Rangers pitcher was wasted. Kyle Gibson allowed one run in six innings. But it eventually was one run too many because the Rangers lost 2-1 to the White Sox. Out of twenty-one games played this year, Texas has scored two or fewer runs in ten. […]
The Ronald Guzman era with the Rangers appears to be over. He tore the meniscus muscle in his right knee on the first play in the first game he ever started in left field. He was in left field because he lost his job as the Rangers first baseman to […]
So, the season is two weeks old. The Rangers have played six series. They’ve won three, lost three. Overall, they’re 9-10, and in fourth place. Here are the team leaders compared to the major league leaders in the same categories. Two things emerge from this. One, Joey Gallo is having […]

The Rangers scored just two runs last night. On the road. Where they are supposedly so much better offensively. Even their manager thinks that. After losing two of three at home against Baltimore, with the only win being 1-0, in a three-game series where they scored just four runs, Rangers […]
The rumors of baseball’s demise have been greatly exaggerated. Yesterday, MLB issued a press release trumpeting the record-breaking popularity of baseball in 2021. “With close games, exciting stars, surprising starts and two no-hitters to begin the 2021 season, MLB.TV is registering record streaming numbers though the first three weekends of […]
The Rangers figured out the secret to winning at home. If you can score only one run a game, just don’t give up any runs. One of the beauties of baseball is that, on the surface, a 1-0 game seems like it was dull. And, to be sure, this one […]
One thing is coming clear. Dane Dunning can pitch. In a year of trials and tribulations and seeing who can play major league baseball and who can’t, Dunning is proving he deserves a spot of his own in the Rangers rotation. He doesn’t need piggybacking, thank you. Of course, he […]
