Not enough offense. Too much Martin Perez. We’ve heard that before. Lately, any Martin Perez is too much Martin Perez. The Rangers have now lost their last nine Perez starts. The last three have been especially brutal, giving up four earned runs, six, and seven. Just when the Rangers […]
The Rangers played a double header last night. They lost the first game 6-0 in four innings. They won the second game. 7-0 in six innings. If last night seemed like two completely different games were played in one, it’s because they were. It’s what happens now when managers […]
The dog days of the season are upon us. Sure, this dog has fleas and isn’t quite housebroken, has bad breathe and three legs, but it’s loveable as heck. One thing the Rangers are seeming to show as the second-half unwinds is the ability to beat the teams that […]
One pitch. That’s all it took for the long national nightmare to end. Shin-Soo Choo hit Edwin Jackson’s first pitch over the wall in left center to break the scoring drought. And just like that the Rangers had a lead in Oakland, after being shut out twice in a […]
Bats get hot all at once. Bats get cold all at once. The Rangers are in the Siberia part of that. After scoring three runs in the eighth inning of Sunday’s game against the Angels, the Rangers have not scored since. They have managed five hits and four walks […]
It’s easy to forget this is a team that’s 15 games under .500. When they play other bad teams like the Angels, you think the Rangers are amazing. Then they play a good team and reality sets in. Texas has a long way to go to be good. They […]
Not even rain can cool off Rougned Odor. What he has done this season has been miraculous. To go from where he was to where he is currently is truly remarkable. It all starts with desire. Or maybe it starts with shame. Odor had fallen about as far as […]
Color Analyst. Front office. Coaching. Ticket sales. Scouting. Scoreboard operator. Mascot. Vendor. Usher. Ticket taker. Ballpark security. Marketing. Accounting or finance. Digital co-ordination. Stats. Administrative assistant. Office lobby receptionist. Umpire. Grounds crew. If Martin Perez wants to remain in major league baseball, there are plenty of positions he can […]
Full disclosure. I didn’t watch a single pitch of last night’s game. I’m in New York. It was a Friday night. For the first time in nearly two seasons, Rangers fans have reason for optimism. They won’t win a division anytime soon, barring some miracle where Martin Perez sprouts […]
It’s always been said that if you go to a baseball game you might see something that’s never been seen before. In the 106-year history of major league baseball, there was a never-before-happened moment last night in the Ballpark. It was the first triple play in the history of […]
