This was the shortest season ever that felt like the longest season ever. A Rangers loss today will seal their fate as the worst Rangers season ever. A win, and they barely escape their worst record in Texas Rangers history. Either way, it’s nothing to be proud of. Only one […]
In four minor league seasons, he’d never played a game above Single-A. Right now, that doesn’t seem to matter. Sam Huff sure seems comfortable in a major league uniform. He’s just twenty-two. But he’s not playing like it. On a team starved for offense and gasping for power, Sam Huff […]
The Rangers are still in it! The Rangers are still in it! With the Pirates 7-0 win over the Cubs yesterday, and the Rangers 12-4 loss to the Astros, Texas heads into the final weekend of the season just one game in back of Pittsburgh for first place. First place […]
Things that don’t travel well: Drive-thru French fries. Infants. Flammable liquids. Ice cream cones. Newlyweds. The Texas Rangers. The Rangers come home for their final four home games with their tail between their legs after being swept in Arizona, losing seven out of nine games on their final road trip […]
How ugly was last night’s game? The ugliest. *****TODAY’S GAME: Wes Benjamin (1-1, 4.41) vs. Alex Young (2-4, 5.44)_____________________________
Welcome to the frustrating tease that is Kyle Gibson. One game he throws a complete game 1-0 gem. The next game, he follows it up by giving up eight runs (seven earned) in four innings, including four walks, five hits, and the eighth grand slam Rangers pitching has gifted this […]
Gallo. Tejeda. Huff. Odor. Dietrich. The Rangers hit five home runs yesterday. It usually takes this team a month to hit five home runs. That was fun. And that was a glaring reminder of how huge the Rangers lack of power is. The five games before yesterday, Texas scored 1.6 […]
The Rangers have a lot of holes. Too many to fix in one off-season. Too many to fix over the next few off-seasons. But there is perhaps no bigger hole than the production they are getting, or more aptly not getting, at third base. After 52 major league games in […]
Demarcus “D-Train” Evans made his much-anticipated major league debut last night in Anaheim. D-Train was slightly D-railed. Two batters in, it was a D-saster. Evans earned the nickname D-Train because he’s built like a locomotive. The twenty-three-year-old right-hander is 6’5” and 265 pounds. The Rangers drafted Evans in the twenty-fifth round […]
There are only so many 1-0 shutouts a team can throw. According to Evan Grant, the Rangers have scored exactly one run per game now eleven times. No other team in baseball can boast that. Well, not exactly boast. Hide in shame might be the better way to say it. […]
