The Rangers have started to click. Power, great starting pitching, a non-caving-in bullpen, Elvis paying attention, no Leonys Martin, power. All the ingredients for winning games. Four wins in a row. They were sort of being cocky in their post-game interviews. I saw swagger. I heard them […]
2-1, 7-1, 11-3. Offense, power, defense, no Elvis errors, no Scheppers dousing lighter fluid on a fire. The Rangers, for the first time this season, looked like a major league baseball team rather than leftover carpet remnants after a flooring sale. The Rangers did to the Astros what every team has […]
This is why baseball is the greatest sport in the world. Football, this wouldn’t happen. The Indianas of the world never beat the Alabamas. Ever. Ever. Ever. They might score a few points and get a moral victory, but they don’t win. They might even score first and then hope like […]
There have been a lot of bad Texas Rangers teams over the years, but this year’s version is shaping up to be the all-time worst. That is saying something indeed. Last place is a comfortable place for this franchise, with the Rangers having finished there eleven seasons out of […]
So that’s what offense looks like. Two hits from Fielder, two hits from Beltre, four hits from Blanks, two hits from Choo, nearly equalling his total for the entire season. The 3-4-5-6 spots in the order did what 3-4-5-6 place hitters are supposed to do. Hit. Drive in runs. Keep […]
Full discloser. I did not watch a single pitch of last night’s game. I was travelling in my car and had a little accident, luckily an experienced Car Accident Attorney in illinois says that you can solve this issues if you’re careful when you discuss about it and have a […]
You know how bands sometime decide they are going to release songs from the archive they recorded a long time ago but for some reason never included on any album but when you hear them you think one of two things, that either that song was a forgotten gem that […]
Welcome to the Texas Rangers, Kyle Blanks. You struck out twice, and popped up weakly in your three at bats. And, for added measure, you committed the game-losing defensive play that wasn’t called an error but should have been. In fact, in the post-game show, your manager referred to […]
Jeff Banister is a lucky man. He committed the cardinal sin of taking out his starter when he was still dominating, and paid the price for it. Lucky for him, his team bailed him out in extra innings. Managing a pitching staff game by game used to be considered the […]
It’s safe to say whatever magic Jon Daniels had, it’s just about gone. Last year, he could hide behind a gaggle of injuries. I am not sure what his excuse this year will be. He chose not to do anything when Darvish went down last August. He made […]
