There’s nothing as streaky as dominance in the All-Star Game. After basically trading wins for the first 28 years, the National League won 25 All-Star Games out of 30 between 1960 and 1985. There were two All-Star Games for a few years in that period. Then, just as quickly, the […]
With Adolis Garcia and Kyle Gibson being named to their first All-Star team, along with teammate Joey Gallo, who was named to the team in 2019, the Rangers have now had 57 different players represent them as All-Stars, and one manager, Ron Washington. Three Rangers have been named All-Star Game […]
There’s a trend in the game right now to sign sons of ex-players who then go on to be super stars. Fernando Tatis Jr., Vlad Guerrero Jr., Bo Bichette, Cavan Biggio, Cody Bellinger, Ke’Bryan Hayes. These are just some of the impact major leaguers whose fathers also played. The Rangers […]
There’s an old saying, “Today is the first day of the rest of your life.” Today, for the Rangers, is more important than that. It’s the first day of the rest of their credibility. Today is draft day. Today is the day the Texas Rangers get the second overall pick […]
That’s three quality starts in a row for Jordan Lyles. After putting up the seventh-worst season in Rangers history for a starting pitcher last season, Lyles was turning 2021 into another disaster. Six starts into this year, his ERA of 7.39 was even higher than last season. It has hovered […]
Joey Gallo is in the home run derby. The eight contenders this year are Gallo, Pete Alonso, Trey Mancini, Shohei Ohtani, Matt Olson, Salvador Perez, Juan Soto, and Trevor Story. Aside from Gallo, there are a few interesting stories here. The biggest one might be Trey Mancini. He returned to […]
Two things were revealed in yesterday’s Rangers game. One, Kyle Gibson is human after all. Two, Joey Gallo is playing at a super human level right now. Since giving up five runs in his opening day start, really his opening day inning, Kyle Gibson has been pitching out of this […]
Dane Dunning got out of the first inning without allowing a run. That is rare. He has given up 18 first-inning earned runs this season. He’s given up 37 total earned runs. That’s just under half his earned runs scoring before most fans have gotten comfortable in their seats. Before […]
Three Rangers made the All-Star team. Kyle Gibson, Adolis Garcia, and Joey Gallo. For a team this bad to have three All-Stars is noteworthy. It just goes to show you how deficient they are in other positions. As far as position players go, the talent level falls off dramatically after […]
While Rangers fans are witnessing a historically great season from Kyle Gibson, the best ever by a Texas Rangers starter, curiosity led to the other end of the spectrum. Which starters have had the worse seasons in Rangers history? (One of them is currently in the rotation.) It’s a lot […]
