The Texas Rangers are less than a month away from reporting for spring training. I know the Cowboys are in the playoffs and knocked off Tom Brady earlier this week. While the NFL is exciting, I can’t wait for baseball to start. The sounds and smells, the expectation for the season. The 2023 season has the potential to be something …

Arlington, TX: The Texas Rangers lost ugly on Tuesday night in Arlington. Kolby Allard was terrible for the second night in a row, earning him another trip to Round Rock, this time probably for good. Before the game Chris Woodward told us that Allard had been sent down. Other corresponding moves: Joe Barlow to the IL with a blister, Jonathan …

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 …

Step right up! Step right up! The Texas Rangers General Store is open for business and nothing in the store is off limits. (This is essentially the scene in Arlington as Chris Young embarks on his first trade deadline) In other words, “look around and see if there is anything you need, although this isn’t a going out of business …

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 …

After the Rangers lost their final exhibition game to the Colorado Rockies, manager Chris Woodward started out his post-game press conference with an announcement. “So, I will tell you guys our final roster moves I guess”, he started out. “We kept Ian Gibaut, Kolby Allard, and Joe Palumbo for our bullpen. We also kept Guzman, Refsnyder, Heineman, and Taveras”, he …

The Texas Rangers open the season this Friday, July 24th against the Colorado Rockies. Due to COVID, they are allowed to start the season with 30 players. 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 …

We made the first run on the opening day roster. Since then I have been to Surprise to see the team in person. I came away impressed with certain players and had good conversations with others. The time has come to make a second go at this. NOTE: Any player listed in bold will be the player who is different from …

The time has come to make a prediction of who will start out the season on the major league roster for 2020. MLB just approved a 26th man on the active roster. 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 …
