Texas is back at home for seven games, the first of which is against the Athletics. The Rangers are facing a lefty, and so the righthanded-swinging crew is in there. Notably, […]

The Texas Rangers scored seven runs while the Milwaukee Brewers scored four runs.

Skip Schumaker thinks Evan Carter can learn from watching the Brewers’ lefthanded hitters. David Laurila has his Sunday Notes column up at Fangraphs.
66-70 – Early homers spell doom for Rangers in 5-3 loss to Brewers
The Texas Rangers scored three runs but the Milwaukee Brewers scored five runs. Remember last night’s game? Well tonight’s game was pretty much the same game except everyone watched it on FOX instead of no one watching it on BZZR. Just like last night the Rangers trailed 2-0 after an inning, made no headway with […]

Saturday morning Rangers stuff
Good morning, LSB. The Rangers lost the same kind of game I feel like I’ve seen them lose 20 times this season. Skip Schumaker says it’d be cool if the Rangers were a team that could hit the ball e.g. the Brewers. Jeff Wilson says the Rangers may be meeting their Waterloo in Milwaukee. Elsewhere […]
66-69 – Rangers get outclassed by Brewers in 6-1 loss
The Texas Rangers scored one run but the Milwaukee Brewers scored six runs. I did not have much hope for the Rangers to beat the Brewers tonight and they lo and behold, they did not. In fact, the Rangers trailed 2-0 after one inning and the writing was pretty much already on the wall. That […]

Macko, 25, was acquired by the Rangers from the Toronto Blue Jays in exchange for Josh Smith and Josh […]
MLB Reacts Results: deGrom and the Hall of Fame
This week, we asked folks if Jacob deGrom would be a Hall of Famer if he never pitched again. Only 41% of Rangers fans who responded believe that deGrom would be elected to the Hall of Fame if he never pitched in another game. That’s lower than I would have expected, though the poll went […]

Thursday Morning Links
Morning, all! Former Ranger manager Jeff Banister was involved in a shouting match between Arizona Diamondbacks’ coaches and the Chicago Cubs on Monday after Arizona accused the Cubs of stealing signs. Apparently the secret to Justin Foscue’s success, like the secret of flying in Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, is to not think about it […]
