The Rangers season in a nutshell was described by a graphic they showed in the bottom of the seventh of last night’s game with the Brewers leading 3-1 and bases loaded and no outs. BATTING AVERAGE WITH BASES LOADED TEXAS RANGERS: .212, 28TH MILWAUKEE BREWERS: .350, 1ST Then the Brewers […]
The Rangers lost two out of three to the first place White Sox. And for that, they get to move on to play the best team in baseball—the Brewers—for three in Milwaukee. It didn’t help that they ran themselves out of the first inning, with Corey Seager getting picked off […]
Just exactly like every single Rangers fan who is rational and sane could have predicted, the day after their most dramatic win, they hit a brick wall. One hit, a shutout loss, an embarrassing offensive display. This team does not have the ability to be good. They are destined for […]
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 […]
