The Rangers offense didn’t have much to offer without Corey Seager. Seager, by the way, is day to day after a collision at home plate in Thursday’s game. […]

34-35 – Rangers menaced by Monster in 10-1 loss to Red Sox

The Texas Rangers scored one run but the Boston Red Sox scored ten runs. The Rangers collected three hits in their first four at-bats against tonight’s Boston starter Sonny Gray but because they’re now, paradoxically, a pop-less small ball team with slow baserunners, all three hits were singles and all three were required to score […]

Friday morning Rangers things

Good morning, LSB. The Rangers beat the Royals yesterday to get their record back to .500. Evan Grant says the Rangers win may have been sparked by the phony rain delay.

34-34 – Aggressive Rangers reach .500 with 4-2 win over Royals

The Texas Rangers scored four runs while the Kansas City Royals scored two runs. Methinks the Rangers were feeling a tad aggrieved today with the Royals making the call to delay the game for more than two hours to protect their depleted pitching staff.

Thursday Morning Links

Morning, all! The Rangers have, surprisingly, remained afloat so far this season, and it is up to them whether they capitalize on a weak division. They probably can’t count on wins like Wednesday’s to keep their playoff hopes alive, however, as they won despite playing some ugly baseball. Jacob Latz and Jakob Junis were able […]
