Danny Santana was placed on the injured list before the weekend with a right elbow sprain, making this his second stint on the injured list. This season, he has only played 15 games, struggling mightily at the plate. Santana is on his final leg of the one year contract he signed with the Rangers in 2020, and with this latest …
Look, this sounds like a broken record that keeps repeating itself in every Texas Rangers fan’s conversation. It has always been, “we need to bench Rougie,” or it’s “Odor hasn’t done anything since his knockout punch on Bautista.” The fact of the matter is, they’re right. Rougned Odor has not been the player that the Rangers signed to a multi-year …
Disclaimer: I am a huge conspiracy theorist when it comes to baseball and trades. I study every transaction and try to work up crazy trade theories in my weird lizard brain. In honor of today being a normal trade deadline day, my cranium started plotting some moves the Ranger just made. First let’s study the facts that surround trading players …

Opening Day should be a national holiday in my opinion. For me and my wife, it has been for the last 17 years. This would have been my 20th consecutive opening day game and 17th with my lovely bride. I tried to count up the number of opening days I have attended over my lifetime. The best guess I can …

We also kept Guzman, Refsnyder, Heineman, and Taveras”, he …

They have to pair it back to 28 after one week and then back to 26 at the end of two weeks. It’s is time to make roster predictions. Players in Bold are …
Every team in baseball has high hopes for a player they draft and develop. Throughout the process, some of those picks become top prospects in an organization. Others move along as they should, never really establishing themselves as anything more than a future utility player. IKF (Isiah Kiner-Falefa) was progressing along that path. Drafted in the 4th round out of …
In a major turn of events, major league baseball players played baseball against each other last night. Yeah, I know, it was MLB The Show, but it was fun to watch live baseball action with MLB players actually playing the game. MLB All-Stars started a tournament that even this old man enjoyed watching. That is important because I am not …
As Opening Day nears there will be tons of proclamations on which players are bound for stellar seasons.
