Sunday morning Rangers things

Good morning, folks… The Texas Rangers fell to the Anaheim Angels by a score of 5-2. The DMN’s game story laments the multitude of missed opportunities by the Ranger offense. Josh Jung left the game with a shoulder issue, though the initial test results indicate that it is not serious. Justin Foscue has had both […]

24-27 – Rangers waste ample chances in 5-2 loss to Angels

The Texas Rangers scored two runs while the Anaheim Angels scored five runs. Before winning tonight against the Rangers, the Angels had only won two games in a row once since April 17. Even then, you’d still have to go back to the first week of this month when they won two in a row […]

Saturday morning Rangers stuff

Good morning, LSB. The Rangers fell 9-6 to the Angels last night. Jacob deGrom was jumped all over for a second straight outing and let his frustrations be known after the game. Corey Seager and Wyatt Langford have resumed baseball activities as they aim for a return. The Rangers signed veteran pitcher Joe Ross to […]

24-26 – deGrom deFeated as Rangers fall 9-6 to Angels

The Texas Rangers scored six runs but the Anaheim Angels scored nine runs. Last Friday we were wondering if the Rangers would make use of a ninth-inning rally from their previous game to push them forward on the cusp of returning to .500 baseball only for them to spend their Friday evening getting one-hit on […]

Velocity and the Texas Rangers pitchers

Something that I noticed about the Texas Rangers pitchers, that was kind of interesting to me, even if to no one else… Though I do think it is probably interesting to others, which is why I’m doing this post. The Texas Rangers have one of the hardest throwing rotations in the majors. Per Statcast, Texas […]

Friday morning Rangers things

Good morning, LSB. The Rangers were off yesterday. Evan Grant’s off day column details the life of the meticulous Brandon Nimmo. Grant also writes that the Rangers have a golden opportunity this weekend against the crappy Angels. MLB Pipeline lists a pleasantly surprising prospect from every team, and I have indeed been pleasantly surprised with […]

Thursday Morning Links

Morning, all! Mackenzie Gore is trending towards making his next scheduled start on Sunday after leaving after one inning with lat tightness in his last start. Brandon Nimmo exited yesterday’s game with hamstring tightness after hitting a single in the fifth, though Skip Schumaker describes the move as precautionary. Nimmo says that he expects to […]

24-25 – Rangers shine late to leave gloomy Colorado with series win

The Texas Rangers scored five runs but the Colorado Rockies scored four runs. In a very the-Rangers-are-quite-strange kind of way, the club almost lost a second consecutive series to a league-worst team despite outscoring them. The Rangers have outscored their opponents 30-17 on their current road trip, but were a couple of outs away from […]

Curvelo activated, optioned

The Texas Rangers activated pitcher Luis Curvelo from the 15 day injured list and optioned him to AAA Round Rock, the team announced today. Curvelo started the season in the minors, but was called up a little over a week into the season to join the Rangers’ bullpen. He was placed on the injured list […]

23-25 – Successful first inning propels Rangers to blowout win

The Texas Rangers scored a girthy ten runs while the Colorado Rockies scored no runs at all. This one’ll do wonders for the ol’ Pythagorean W-L. Maybe last night’s loss was the kick in the butt moment the Rangers needed as they came out tonight and immediately scored a couple of runs before turning to […]
