Good morning, folks… The Texas Rangers beat the Kansas City Royals yesterday by a score of 7-6. Evan Grant writes that the Rangers come from behind victory sets them up to potentially have a winning homestand. Joc Pederson homered in the win, and is looking like the guy the Rangers thought they were signing. Evan […]
Rangers 7, Royals 6
Just when you thought the Royals had run out of ways to lose baseball games. In case you’re too young to understand the reference in the headline, there was an old Newpaper comic strip called Peanuts by Charles Schulz. One of the running gags was that Charlie wanted to kick a football. Lucy would always […]
The Texas Rangers scored seven runs while the Kansas City Royals scored six runs. The Rangers finally found one of those bad teams we’ve heard so much about! After going up 3-0 through most of the game, the Rangers allowed four runs in the top of the seventh to erase a quality start from Kumar […]
I don’t really know what to put here anymore. I mean, sure, I can preview the pitching matchup and offer some thoughts about the lineup. And I will. But I also like to contextualize the play of the team and the importance of the game. And… there’s just no context worth offering, and there is […]

Good morning, LSB. The Rangers smoked the Royals last night, 9-1. Evan Grant writes that the offense went old school. MacKenzie Gore got back on the right track with a dominant outing vs. KC. New Ranger Nicky Lopez’s first hit in Texas was a big one and came just days after the death of his […]
Rangers 9, Royals 1
It has been said that when Stephen Kolek is getting ground outs in the first inning, you can tell it’s going to be a good night. Unfortunately, Kolek didn’t get a groundball until the seventh batter he faced in the first inning, and Nick Loftin turned that into an error. But let’s back up a […]
The Texas Rangers scored nine runs while the Kansas City Royals scored one run. After getting battered and bruised by leaguewide losers over the past couple of weeks, the Rangers donned their blood red tops with a sellout crowd decked out in replica Nolan Ryan bloody jerseys to witness an increasingly rare feat for Texas […]
The Royals did not follow through after that Mariners series to do anything to the Yankees except scare them enough in that series opener to annoy the Yankees into grinding them into the dirt for two straight nights. The Royals don’t have a lot to play for in terms of wins and losses, but if […]
Texas Rangers lineup for May 29, 2026 against the Kansas City Royals: starting pitchers are MacKenzie Gore and Stephen Kolek. The floundering Texas Rangers will try to flounder less tonight against the Royals of Kansas City. Offensive dynamo Nicky Lopez is hitting ninth, which I assume is for that “two leadoff man” synergy. The lineup: […]
The Rangers won their first championship in 2023, in part by spending a lot on free agents. But they had to pay the piper, and since then they have been a middling team around .500, missing the playoffs in each of the last two seasons. Kansas City Royals (22-34) vs. Texas Rangers (25-31) at Globe […]

The Astros best starter this season has been a guy not deemed good enough to make the Opening Day roster. Spencer Arrighetti (W, 7-1) picked up his 7th win in 8 starts with another terrific performance, limiting the Texas Rangers (25-31) to one run over 6 innings as the Houston Astros (26-32) took 3 of […]
The Texas Rangers scored one run but the Houston Astros scored five runs. Just about the only thing that ultimately went well for the Rangers tonight was Yordan Alvarez didn’t hit what surely would have been his 47th homer in this series if my count is correct. Instead, both Jeremy Pena and Isaac Paredes went […]
