All quiet in Rangers world. 24 comments
The Rangers off-season thus far has been active, not spectacular. No splashes. No ripples. Just a few pebbles dropped in the ocean. The rotation as it stands now is not spectacular. Last year’s Darvish, Hamels, Perez, Cashner, and Griffin was better than this year’s Hamels, Perez, Fister, Minor, Moore. The […]
When superheroes are actual heroes. 17 comments
Sometimes it’s easy to forget these players are humans. When you are a kid, they are your superheroes. They can do no wrong, even if they strike out four times a game or give up ten runs in the first. You love them, you defend them, you live and die […]
Center field roulette. 14 comments
Lost in the media hoopla and fan frenzy and pre-world Series parade planning over the Rangers bolstering their pitching staff with key additions of Mike Minor, Doug Fister, and Matt Moore, was the acquisition of a new center fielder in the Rule 5 draft. The Rangers have their next Delino […]
Gallo. 30 comments
I went to a charity event at the Ballpark Tuesday night and saw Joey Gallo speak. He talked about his year and his struggles in the past. He talked about how he was filled with self-doubt. How he didn’t know if he would make it. And he said it took […]
Perez injured. 29 comments

Top Ten Rangers moments of 2017: No. 6. 23 comments
Top Ten Moment #6: Joey Gallo hits home run number 40. There was no greater redemption story in 2017 than the story Joey Gallo wrote. After his dismal 2016, he was pretty much written off by everyone, his manager and, whether he wanted to admit it, probably himself. The […]
Baseball is alive in west Dallas. 18 comments
Evan Grant has an article in today’s Dallas Morning News about an amazing new baseball complex the Rangers are opening in west Dallas to bring baseball, and, as Grant says, “hopefully a little life guidance” to an underserved community. The ribbon cutting ceremony is Tuesday. The baseball facility is remarkable. […]
Moore of the same. 22 comments
The San Francisco Giants are trying to shed payroll because they want to make a run at J. D. Martinez. They needed to find someone to dump a salary on. They found a team desperate for starting pitching: the Texas Rangers and their wafer-thin system. So, Friday night, the […]
