Two in a row. It’s almost like a winning streak. The Rangers scored nine runs in the last two games. With their pitching, that’s a recipe for winning. It’s good to see Marcus Semien starting to crawl out of the deep hole he dug himself into. And it was good […]
What if this is the best this team can be? What if the offense is hitting to its potential? What if Chris Young’s judgment was clouded by 2023 when, in fact, the output of 2024 and 2024 is the real Rangers offense? What if Josh Jung isn’t more than a […]
The staff at Rangers Rounding 3rd have decided to make our daily output equal to that of the Rangers offense. With that… *****
The ballot for the All-Star game is out. What a difference a couple years makes. In 2023, the Rangers had five position players start the All-Star Game—at catcher, second, short, third, and right. This year, the Rangers will have none. Not even close. Jonah Heim batted .282 in the first […]
The Rangers are 6-24 when the opposition scores first, giving them an 80 percent chance of losing once the other team has scored. The Rangers have scored the fewest runs of any team in the last three innings. In the Rangers twenty-nine wins, once they are down after seven innings, […]

The Rangers just completed the best three games offensively of the year. They scored eleven runs on Friday and eight on Sunday. They got hits with two outs. They played small ball. They had sustained rallies. For three games, at least, they looked like the team everyone expected them to […]
There appear to be signs of life. They are not yet ready to take them off life support and disconnect the oxygen machine so they can breathe on their own. But it’s the first positive eye twitch. After breaking out for eleven runs on Friday night and then customarily being […]
It was to be expected. After the worst offense in baseball had a brief shining moment Friday night, it reverted to its real self. turns out, that was their May Day. It was reminiscent of their April Day. The Rangers scored eleven runs Friday. Zero Saturday. The Rangers got fifteen hits […]
Maybe the Rangers have their new closer. They came into the season ignoring that singularly important role, figuring they would just toss someone in there and see what happens. That someone was Luke Jackson. When Jackson gave up three runs on opening day, you got the feeling he wasn’t the […]
