The last six years have been full of questions. This year, there are answers to the questions. Question one: With the Rangers five-run seventh inning, yesterday, how many five-run innings have they had this year? A. Seven? B. Nine? C. Twelve? D. Sixteen? E. Twenty-one? The correct answer is…D. Sixteen. […]
Dominating starting pitching. Timely hitting. Smothering relief. The Rangers have had the first two for most of the year. Last night they checked off all three boxes. And it’s a glimpse into exactly how good this team could be. It’s an offense that just keeps plugging away. They were facing […]
Texas is going to have a problem real soon. Maybe today, maybe tomorrow, but soon. They are going to get two huge offensive weapons back in Ezequiel Duran and Mitch Garver. (Anyone remember Mitch Garver?) The problem is, they will have a roster logjam. Too many good hitters, not enough […]
The first two months of 2023 are in the books, and the Rangers have the best record they’ve ever had at this point in any season. A couple tweaks to the bullpen and this team has a serious chance to play deep into October. The offense is nothing short of […]
Santa Claus. Mermaids. Unicorns. Griffins. Chupacabras. Centaurs. Leprechauns. Elfs. And the most mystical creature of all: the dominating Rangers relief pitcher. He appeared in Detroit last night.

Has the corner been turned? Can we come out from under the covers? Can we take the hand away from our eyes? Jonathan Hernandez has now had three relief appearances in a row without giving up a run. It’s not yet time to etch the 2023 Cy Young award trophy […]
Same input. Same output. Insert Rangers reliever. Remove Rangers chances of victory. Until something changes, nothing will change. ***** HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY TO EVERYONE IN RR3 NATION. AND TO EVERYONE WHO SERVED, YOU HAVE OUR GRATITUDE AND APPRECIATION.
After being thrown to the wolves against Atlanta two weeks ago to give the entire Rangers rotation one more day of rest, Cody Bradford is making his second start. This time it’s because Dane Dunning is on paternity leave. Maybe the headlights won’t be as blinding to the dear this […]
Guilty. Guilty of doubting Leody Taveras. Guilty of thinking he would never be able to hit major league pitching. Guilty of chalking him up as yet another Jon Daniels talent development failure. Forgotten in much of this was the fact that Taveras is now only twenty-four. He was just twenty […]
The Rangers go to Baltimore for three games. Texas is in first. Baltimore is in second. Wait. Texas first? Baltimore second? Is this some sort of bizarro world, opposite universe dream? Aren’t these two throw-in-the-towel teams? Each team’s last six seasons have been almost mirror images of one another. Shop […]
