I am about to say something that is hardly ever said about the Texas Rangers. The pitching future looks bright. There are valid complaints to have about the Rangers ownership and front office. But the Rangers have done something impressive during this rebuild that cannot be argued. The pitching in the organization is good. Very good………in fact………it may be the …
I’ve decided to start a new thing called, “The Recliner Monologues”. My brain can go into overload with crazy ideas or opinions on all things Texas Rangers. Although it may be dangerous to unleash this on the public, I figured why not. My wife has to deal with my brain everyday and she is a saint. Why shouldn’t I expose …

Some wonder if that means that teams would carry a third catcher. Some wonder if that means an extra infielder or outfielder. MLB said that teams could only …
The Texas Rangers are winding down to the end of the 2019 season. A season that has them doing far better than expected when it started. Even the most confident prognosticators had them finishing with only 70 to 78 wins. As of now, they are on course to finish with 80 to 85 wins. The Rangers finished the 2018 season …
The Texas Rangers have started out the first month of 2019 season by playing .500 baseball. Although this is better than most prognosticators predicted, it has driven some fans into a total meltdown.
