After being swept by the Astros, the Rangers started a stretch of games against teams they should beat. Or, in their case, should go .500 against. They played the Giants for three, won two of them. They played the Orioles for three, won two of them. Now it’s four against […]
On July 9 of this year, Six Flags of Texas debuted a new roller coaster called the Tormenta. It is the talles and fastest dive coaster in the world. At two-minutes and fifty-four seconds, the ride is also the longest dive coaster in the world. Two-minutes and fifty-four seconds has […]
The Dodgers traded for Tarik Skubal. That was totally expected. But something seems odd about it: They didn’t give up much for him. It’s almost as if it was a foregone conclusion with the owners that the Dodgers would land him to prove a point. Baseball needs a salary cap. […]
The American League beat the National League in the All-Star Game 4-0. It was inevitable, considering the National League is having a historical dominating season in interleague play over the American League. The Rangers had one All-Star, Jacob Latz. He pitched to one batter, struck him out, and earned the […]
It was scorching in Cleveland yesterday, and it wasn’t just the weather. The hottest team in baseball had their ace on the mound, and he was pumping in the heat at 110.5 miles per hour. Jacob deGrom gave up a first-inning two-run homer to the Guardians, then shut them down […]
It appears that Kumar Rocker needs the training wheels. He does better when someone else pitches the first inning for him. Starting in the second inning, he pitched five, gave up two runs, struck out nine, and didn’t walk a single Marlins hitter in the Texas 4-3 win over Miami, […]
Finally. After wandering in the wilderness for the season, full of promise but oozing disappointment, Wyatt Langford is contributing. He started the season slow, hitting just .238 with one home run in the Rangers first 23 games. Then, injury kept him out the next 40 games. His return was less […]
Texas just can’t even seem to be average. Just playing .500 baseball seems too much to ask of this team. They came into Anaheim with what would have seemed like the golden opportunity, after having won two out of three against a bad Colorado team. They had the momentum of […]
The Rangers are officially in the same league as the Yankees, but the Rangers are not in the same league as the Yankees. New York ripped into Jacob deGrom. He’s the best the Rangers have. That doesn’t bode well for Nathan Eovaldi and MacKenzie Gore, the next two victims of […]
Someone needs to sue Major League Baseball for false advertising. Sacramento is billed as a hitters’ park, but the Rangers haven’t found that to be true. Or, maybe, just maybe, the Rangers aren’t a hitters’ roster. Sacramento starter J.T. Ginn tried to give the Rangers a golden opportunity in the […]
