A SPECIAL NIGHT OF BASEBALL. Yesterday, I recounted Top Ten Moment # 8 of the Rangers 2017 season. Here is what I wrote about it at the time. Reposted from April 30, 2017. Rangers fans saw a lot of unique things last night. Angels second baseman Danny Espinosa taking a […]
Top Ten Moment #8: Carlos Gomez hits for the cycle. April 29. It was early in the season, and the Rangers were still trying to get a feel for what they were going to be. After an opening series sweep at the hand of the Cleveland Indians, it was […]
It’s December 3 and the hot stove league has been anything but hot. The Angels retained Justin Upton and the Rangers signed Doug Fister. Other than that, there has been very little to talk about. And even those two transactions are fairly non-significant. It seems GMs are waiting for some […]
According to reports, the Rangers did not tender offers to pitchers A. J. Griffin, Nick Martinez, and Chi Chi Gonzalez. They are now free agents. The thin pitching ranks have gotten thinner. While these were pitchers the Rangers were never going to count on anyway for much, Griffin and Martinez […]

Top Ten Moment #9: A. J. Griffin throws a complete game shutout. By Tuesday, May 9, the Rangers had been left for dead. They were suffering their second horrible start in the three-year Jeff Banister era. They lost the first of a two-game series in San Diego against the […]
In processed animal foods, a filler is an ingredient added to provide dietary fiber, bulk or some other non-nutritive purpose. It is merely a cost-saving method to provide bulk but not sustenance. Doug Fister made fifteen starts for the Boston Red Sox in 2017. He was able to make […]
All sides have reached an agreement. Shohei Ohtani is cleared to come to the U.S. to play major league baseball. He is being billed as the next Babe Ruth. That once in a century two-way player who can pitch, who can hit, who can do it all. The legend […]
