The Texas Rangers are not in the playoffs. Some other teams are, though. You can talk about today’s games here.
The Rangers World Series win in 2023 was a fluke. Walk with me. I don’t mean fluke in that it was 100% luck, because literally every championship win in any sport has an aspect of luck to it. I don’t mean fluke in that it wasn’t earned, that was a damn good team with damn […]

Texas Rangers president of baseball operations Chris Young addressed the media today in the wake of the team’s disappointing 80-82 finish.

From 2016 to 2024, San Diego Padres president of baseball operations A.J. Preller hired four managers. Andy Green was the rebuild manager, never intended to be the guy. Then Preller hired his friend from the Texas Rangers, Jayce Tingler. They had their first successful season in the COVID-shortened 2020 campaign. From the start of 2021, […]
