The Rangers announced that they have signed outfielder Jarred Kelenic to a minor league deal. The client of THE·TEAM will report to Triple-A Round Rock. Shawn McFarland of the Dallas Morning News was among those who passed the news along. Kelenic, 26, just elected free agency a couple of days ago after being outrighted by […]
It was a day of crooked numbers for much of the American League East. The Yankees rode their 13-run (!) third inning to victory over the Athletics. Meanwhile, Boston and Toronto were on opposite ends of high-scoring games with the BoSox emerging victorious as the Jays got routed by Baltimore. Unfortunately for New York, Tampa […]
Good morning. Shawn McFarland writes about what we’ve learned about the Texas Rangers over the last week, a club that started a homestand by getting no-hit and ended it with a sweep.

Whether the Texas Rangers end up buying or selling at the trade deadline, changes to their roster will have to be made.
It was another tough day of Royals baseball. They were promptly swept for the third time in their last four series. They have lost 6 straight and 16 of their last 19. They are one of the worst teams in all of baseball. A four-run first inning, all with two outs, doomed Michael Wacha and […]
The Texas Rangers scored six runs while the Kansas City Royals scored three runs. The Royals appear to have been just what the doctor ordered for a Rangers squad that had been having trouble making good on an alleged manageable portion of their schedule. After dropping a four-game set three to one to the Houston […]
The Royals are in complete disarray. They have lost 15 of their last 18 games and are trying to avoid being swept for the third time in the last four series. I don’t really have many positive things to say, Michael Wacha starts today, he’s been one of the few bright spots this season. With […]

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 […]

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 […]
