Thoughts on a 7-6 Rangers loss
Rays 7, Rangers 6
Saturday morning Rangers stuff
Good morning, LSB. The Rangers lost to the Rays last night 7-6. Evan Grant writes about the Rangers’ comeback that fell short and where it leaves them the playoff hunt Kennedi Landry writes about the continued struggles of Kumar Rocker. Corey Seager swings at a lot of first pitches and other teams are taking advantage. […]
70-72 – Diaz slam not enough as Rangers fall 7-6 to Rays
The Texas Rangers scored six runs but the Tampa Bay Rays scored seven runs. Maybe the Rays go on to enjoy some success in October as the American League’s best team but baseball’s like 12th best team. Who knows. What I do know is they’re the only team that has given up a grand slam […]

Thoughts on a 6-0 Rangers win
Rangers 6, Rays 0
Friday morning Rangers things
Good morning, LSB. The Rangers blanked the Rays last night behind a shutout performance from Cal Quantrill. Quantrill had the slider working, which was a surprise to everyone, including Quantrill. Elsewhere it sounds like the Rangers don’t really know when Nathan Eovaldi will be back. Pretty much ditto for Josh And MLB Pipeline ranks the […]
70-71 – Quantrill steps up as Rangers take opener 6-0
The Texas Rangers scored six runs while the Tampa Bay Rays scored zero runs. After suffering embarrassment at the hand of the A’s yesterday, the Rangers needed to rebound against the team topping the American League. Turns out, it was an easy task for Cal Quantrill. I’ve been making a bit of hyperbolic sport about […]

Thursday Morning Links
Morning, all! Robert Garcia was so excited about throwing a live bullpen session on Wednesday that he couldn’t sleep. Cody Bradford gave up five runs yesterday, all of them via home run. Bradford says that his command just isn’t there since his return from elbow surgery. Victory + went dark yesterday, vindicating the Rangers’ midseason […]
Thoughts on a 9-2 Rangers loss
A’s 9, Rangers 2
69-71 – Rangers bludgeoned by Athletics, lose season series
The Texas Rangers scored two runs but the Athletics of the West Coast scored nine runs. The Rangers were up 2-0 with a chance to sweep and return to .500 ball in an immensely sweepable series when the A’s hit like five unanswered home runs on their way to a season series-clinching blowout. Despite missing […]

Thoughts on an 8-5 Rangers win
Rangers 8, A’s 5
69-70 – Nimmo’s big night helps Rangers cruise to victory over A’s
The Texas Rangers scored eight runs while the Californian Athletics scored five runs. The Rangers seem to have finally found themselves a punching bag and the veterans were lining up to throw some haymakers.
