“Who?” DJ Peters. “DJ Who?” Peters. DJ Peters. He’s an outfielder. “Who does he play for?” The Rangers. “The Texas Rangers? What’s his name again?” Donald Scott “DJ” Peters. He’s a twenty-five-year-old center fielder for the Rangers. He’s a California kid who the Cubs drafted in the thirty-fourth round in […]
Thursday’s incredible Field of Dreams game proved one thing. There is nothing better than great baseball played by good teams. The recently concluded Rangers-Mariners series proved one thing as well. There is nothing worse than bad baseball played two bad teams. In an article on ESPN.com, writer Jesse Rogers took […]
Earlier this season the Rangers got a shot in the arm with Adolis Garcia. He came out of nowhere to carry the team on his back. That carried him all the way to the All-Star team. Here’s hoping their latest out-of-nowhere rookie gives this miserable offense a badly needed kickstart […]
Wasting a great start by Mike Foltynewicz is like not hearing a compliment from your spouse. It’s rare and it may never happen again. You can’t expect a better loss out of Mike Folynewicz than his seven-inning, three-earned-run, six-strikeout loss to the Mariners. Unfortunately for Foltynewicz and the vastly shrinking […]

All of a sudden, Adolis Garcia went from being a guy who’d been DFAed and not wanted and shuffled off to the minor leagues, to the most valuable hitter in a major league lineup. (Major league being debatable.) A rookie. Once the Rangers sent Joey Gallo to the Yankees, there […]
Days like today are among the best this season. There is no Rangers game today. No anemic offense to suffer though. No generous pitching to agonize over. No porous defense to curse at. That fifteenth consecutive road loss will have to wait until tomorrow. So, enjoy your Monday. It’s an […]
Yes, the Jon Daniels Rangers have lost thirteen road games in a row, dropping their road record to a pitiful 13-42. But, there was a silver lining. After twenty-one games in a row without doing so, the Rangers scored a run in the first. Not just one, but two. It […]
Chances are, if you are visiting this site, you are a Rangers fan. Or a masochist. There is a good likelihood you have friends who are not. They are easy to spot. They seem happy. When running into those friends, they often ask the most innocent of questions. “How are […]
