Sixty-two. On a one-one count in the top of the first inning against Jesus Tinoco, Aaron Judge became the first man in baseball history to hit sixty-two home runs in one season legitimately. No, he doesn’t have the record. Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa slathered that PED stain […]
Finally, there is meaningful October baseball in Arlington. The Rangers got really lucky that the Yankees are in town to close out the season and that Aaron Judge is trying to set the all-time non-PED home run record. Imagine if they were playing the Tigers or Athletics or some other […]
So, Cole Ragans’s first major league season is over. He allowed one earned run over five innings of work against the Los Angeles Angels Without Mike Trout In The Lineup but was unable to get his first major league win. The twenty-four-year-old left-hander started nine games, throwing a total of […]
With last night’s 4-1 loss to the Angels, the 2022 Texas Rangers lost their ninetieth game. That makes three of the past five seasons with ninety or more losses, and it would have been four of five had it not been for the pandemic-shortened 2020 season. The Rangers of 2000 […]
For fans who love offense, last night’s game provided that. Texas hit five home runs. Marcus Semien hit two. Sam Huff, Adolis Garcia and Nathanial Lowe hit one each. For fans who love epic battles, last night’s game provided that as well. The Rangers were down 2-0. Up 4-2. Down […]

Slowly but surely, Rangers fans are seeing the promise of Josh Jung. He burst into Rangers’ lore by hitting a home run, at home, in his first major league at-bat. Yes, he strikes out more than you’d want. Even more than he’d want. And, yes, he had a pesky hitless […]
Just one month again, on Friday, August 26, the Texas Rangers beat the Detroit Tigers 7-6. At one point, they had a 7-2 lead in that game but their bullpen and their defense couldn’t let that stand without some monumental struggle. In the end, the Rangers pulled out that game. […]
Talking about the Rangers in 2022 is like a baby playing with that Fisher-Price toy called See N Say. He pulls the string and same five sounds come out of it. Over and over and over and over and over again. Pull the string. The dial spins and lands of […]
As another insignificant Rangers season winds down, Netflix dropped a wonderful new documentary on the one man who made the Rangers significant in the first place—Nolan Ryan.
