The Rangers have a pattern going. A good game, a bad game, a good game, a bad game. But that’s to be expected when you have no offense. Another game, another time they scored just one run. That’s six games so far this season where they have scored one or […]
The worry coming into the season about the Rangers thin rotation was real. It suddenly got even more real in the fifth inning of yesterday’s game when, with one out, Nathan Eovaldi had to come out of the game mid-batter. The rotation that started with Eovaldi, Gray, Dunning, Heaney, and […]
In the year when the Rangers are just treading water, it’s only appropriate they follow up their best game of the season with their most futile. The Rangers scored zero runs. They left eleven runners on. It was a night of utter, dismal offensive failure. Bases loaded, no outs in […]
Now, that was a game worthy of the World Champions. After seeing their offense wander aimlessly in the woods for the nearly all season, things clicked last night. This is what the promise of the Rangers has been all along. Never mind the masterful eight innings Jon Gray delivered, allowing […]
Here’s an interesting stat. The Houston Astros are 9-19, in last place in the A.L. West. They have played twenty-eight games. Of those twenty-eight games, Framber Valdez, Justin Verlander, Ronel Blanco, and Cristian Javier have started fourteen. In other words, half. In those fourteen games, those four Houston starters are […]
Mike Epstein. Marc Sagmoen. Craig Gentry. And now, Wyatt Langford. These are the four Rangers/Senators whose first major league home run was an inside the park home run. Epstein did it for the Senators on June 5, 1967. Sagmoen, in a Rangers jersey, April 17, 1997. Craig Gentry, September 23, […]
Every game it seems you look up and it’s the fourth or fifth inning and the Rangers are being no-hit. Yesterday, they didn’t get their first baserunner until Semien walked in the fourth. He was, of course, left there. Finally, Josh Smith got a hit in the fifth, a double, […]
You’ve got to hand it to Nathan Eovaldi. Even when he doesn’t have his best stuff, he battles. Last night he walked five batters, three in the first inning alone, to put himself into a hole 1-0. Once again, the Rangers allowed first-inning runs and had to fight from behind. […]
Twenty-six games into the season and the Rangers are treading water, trying to find their footing, trying to get something to work consistently. There are bright skies on the horizon, though. Josh Sborz was activated off the IL yesterday. That gives Bochy three relievers he can trust, along with Robertson […]
Rangers fans learned something new last night. If a ball struck by a player wearing a Texas Rangers uniform goes over the outfield wall, that player can automatically run the bases and return home without fear of being tagged out. It is called a home run. The Rangers Adolis Garcia […]
