Friday morning Rangers things
Good morning, LSB. The Rangers were off yesterday. Evan Grant’s weekly stock report details the slamming closed of the wallets by Rangers ownership. FanGraphs ranks all 94 prospects moved at the trade deadline. And longtime Giants broadcaster and voice of MVP Baseball 2005 Mike Krukow is retiring at the end of the season. That’s all […]

The trade deadline, the lockout, Ray Davis, and taking it with you
The Texas Rangers had one of the quietest trade deadlines of any major league team this year. Despite being in the playoff hunt in a very mediocre American League (and particularly, a very mediocre American League West), and having clear needs to be addressed (the exact number depending on whether you want to count “the […]
Thursday Morning Links
Morning, all! Jacob deGrom’s decision to stay in Texas has sent a powerful message to the rest of the team. The triumphant and long awaited return of Cody Bradford went well, with Bradford tossing 4.1 scoreless innings in his first start in almost two years. Bradford’s recovery had a lot of ups and downs and […]

57-58 – Bradford is back as Rangers take series from Giants
The Texas Rangers scored six runs while the San Francisco Giants scored zero runs. The Rangers won today’s game.

Wednesday Morning Links
Cody Bradford will be starting tonight against San Francisco, culminating a long recovery from an elbow injury that required internal brace surgery. New Ranger reliever Chase Silseth is excited to be a part of the organization and says his wife is a Ranger fan. Silseth was essentially the Rangers’ only addition before the trade deadline, […]

Thoughts on a 5-4 Rangers win
Rangers 5, Giants 4
56-58 – Rangers walk it off, snap skid with 5-4 win over Giants
The Texas Rangers scored five runs while the San Francisco Giants scored four runs. About an hour ago, with Texas up 2-0 and with MacKenzie Gore fresh off a six shutout innings start, I started tackling this as though the Rangers were going to win. Then big deadline acquisition Chase Silseth allowed a two-run home […]

Rangers Reacts Results: Trading Corey Seager
Last week’s Rangers Reacts Survey asked, in light of the (very depressing, in my opinion) Corey Seager trade rumors, whether you thought the Rangers should deal Seager at the trade deadline. The Rangers, obviously, didn’t trade Seager, which makes me happy, but that’s a separate discussion. Most folks aren’t interested in giving Corey Seager away, […]
