Games won in April help stockpile wins for when a team needs them in September. The Rangers have won twelve so far. Only Tampa Bay has won more. And they begin the season winning thirteen. Yes, five of them have been against Kansas City. But five of them have also […]
Corey Seager is out. Mitch Garver is out. Jacob deGrom left early because of an injury. Jon Gray got knocked out of a game even earlier by a line drive. Every excuse the Rangers could have made to extend their six-year run of futility they could make. Instead, what they […]
Maybe this sordid Bally mess is nearing its end. I doubt it because the fan always seems to get the short end of the deal. But maybe. As you are probably aware because you’re like most Rangers fans, you cannot view Texas Rangers games on TV. You used to be […]
Time flies when you’re not standing around adjusting batting gloves and readjusting batting gloves and adjusting batting helmets, and shuffling your feet, and stepping out of the box to take a practice swing then getting back in the box to take two more then then stepping back out to take […]
Two out of three. That’s what the Rangers needed to do. Just go into Houston, beat them two out of three. Show them they no longer have the Rangers to push around anymore. It was a pitcher’s duel through six innings. The Rangers took advantage of an Astros error in […]

If the Rangers are going to be relevant, they have to beat the Astros. Houston has owned the American League for six years straight. It may surprise you to know they haven’t finished first in the west every one of those years. In 2020, they went to the American League […]
Now is when Bruce Bochy needs to reach into his Hall of Fame managerial experience and guide this team through adversity. How the Rangers navigate the loss of Corey Seager is going to go a long way to determining what this team is made of. Last night’s game was not […]
