It’s so wonderful to see the Rangers offense click. It’s so frustrating to see the Ranger offense click. You watch it when it’s good and wonder, why can’t they do this more often? And the next two or three games, they drop their meat in the dirt and you wonder, […]
When the Rangers can’t win a Jacob deGrom start, they’re in trouble. They don’t have much else to count on. They wasted a start in which deGrom struck out eight and gave up just four hits and two runs in six innings. All his offense could do was muster six […]
Back in the Jon Daniels era—the forgettable part which was his last six years as general manager—he used to explain the teams shortcomings by saying he left them exposed. He didn’t have enough pitching; he left them exposed. He didn’t have enough offense; he left them exposed. If that was […]
If it’s not a first-inning meltdown, it’s a last-inning meltdown. This is the sign of a team that just cannot get out of its own way. MacKenzie Gore had one of his rare strong starts: six innings pitched, one run allowed. He left with a lead. For one of the […]
It was almost comical. The Rangers first inning woes struck again. They bury themselves before they even have a chance. In five of their previous six games, they have allowed runs in the first inning: Four, two, three, one, zero, two. They’d lost five of six. So, when deGrom allowed […]

After taking a World Cup break, the Rangers resume their season of frustration, having lost four of their last five, including the first two of the three-game series to the Minnesota Twins. In true soccer fashion, they’ve scored just two runs a game in this series. Just when they finally […]
The Rangers schedule is interrupted today by the World Cup. There are games being played in Jerry World, which would have made for chaos had the Rangers also played. So, they are sitting today out. Like they seemed to sit yesterday out. The Rangers, in fact, would probably do better […]
Remember when NFTs were a thing? Non-Fungible Tokens? It was an image, available only digitally, that was treated like art hanging in a gallery. It’s an image that only exists on a computer screen. Not a painting or a sculpture or photograph or a work of a master. It’s a […]
The treading of water continues. The Rangers were able to salvage the final game of the series in Boston. It was the Red Sox first series win at home since the first week of April. Texas is, once again, a game under .500 and going nowhere. It appears the Rangers […]
