In the most recent Rangers Reacts Survey, we asked folks which of the Rangers’ relievers who have made their major league debut this year you feel most optimistic about going forward. Lefty reliever Robby Ahlstrom, who was summoned earlier this year and has been turned to regularly by manager Skip Schumaker in key late game […]

Kennedi Landry writes that the Rangers were able to claim a series and winning homestand behind yet another solid effort from Cal Quantrill. Grant […]

Thoughts on a 5-3 Rangers win
Rangers 5, Angels 3
65-66 – Rangers score runs, take series from Angels
The Texas Rangers scored five runs while the Anaheim Angels scored three runs. It’s a controversial take, I know, but I think your favorite baseball team scoring runs is better than them not scoring runs. The Rangers had been drip feeding us practically all season but the spigot was nearly fully wrenched shut during this […]

Sunday morning Rangers things
Good morning, folks… The Texas Rangers fell to the Anaheim Angels last night by a score of 3-0. Evan Grant’s game story talks about how the Rangers can’t score runs without Josh Jung in the lineup. Jake Burger left Saturday’s game after being hit on the wrist by a pitch, though the initial x-rays came […]
64-66 – Rangers remain buns with the bats, fall 3-0 to Angels
The Texas Rangers did not score but the Anaheim Angels scored three runs. The Rangers were honoring the 1996 club tonight. A lot can change in 30 years, apparently. Unlike this year’s team, the ‘96ers are a version of this franchise that I hold near and dear to my heart, so hopefully the players who […]

Thoughts on a 2-1 Rangers win
Rangers 2, Angels 1
64-65 – Rangers wait until the last moment to beat Angels 2-1 in 10
The Texas Rangers scored two runs while the Anaheim Angels scored one run in ten innings. Down to their last strike after wasting endless chances in a game that was 0-0 through nine innings, the Rangers got a two-strike Wyatt Langford double to tie the game and enjoyed a walk-off victory on Ezequiel Duran’s fourth […]

Friday morning Rangers things
Good morning, LSB. The Rangers beat the Nationals last night behind a dominant performance from Jacob deGrom. Skip Schumaker says it was “vintage deGrom” in Shawn McFarland’s game story. The win also featured deGrom’s 2,000th strikeout. Jeff Wilson writes that the milestone wasn’t the most important part of the night for the Rangers’ ace. Elsewhere […]
Thoughts on a 2-0 Rangers win
Rangers 2, Nationals 0
63-65 – Elder stars help Rangers eke out 2-0 win over Nationals
The Texas Rangers scored two runs but the Washington Nationals did not score any runs. The Rangers didn’t have a hit with RISP all evening despite ten chances and they also left eight on base, signifying ample opportunities that did not bear fruit. Were it any other night, we would perhaps be bemoaning these facts. […]
