Wyatt Langford didn’t really get to ease into his rookie year. He was thrust into it. He didn’t get the benefit of seasoning in the minor leagues. He had to come of age as a Ranger. His rocket ship ride started in spring training when he hit more home runs […]
NOTE: This is normally a Texas Rangers blog but this topic is too important. Well, that happened. And, now, like it or not, we all have to come together and live with the America we are left with, and the consequences that go with it. There has been a lot […]
The Rangers have a new general manager. The trend lately is to have a president of baseball operations, and a general manager. Used to be the GM was the guy. He was making the all the calls. If there was a club president, he was mainly a figurehead. Now, it’s […]
