Morning, all! Jeff Wilson notes that in failing to execute in a very winnable playoff race the Rangers’ core may have played themselves off the roster. That’s really all I’m seeing out there this morning.
Wild Card Games Discussion Thread
The Texas Rangers are not in the playoffs. Some other teams are, though. You can talk about today’s games here.
Reacting to the last few Rangers seasons
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 […]
Tuesday Morning Texas Rangers Update
Good morning. Zach Crizer writes that after everyone assumed the Texas Rangers would be mediocre in 2026, the Texas Rangers were mediocre in 2026. Jeff Wilson writes that, following the franchise performing an autopsy on the 2026 squad, the Rangers want to get more athletic moving forward. Kennedi Landry writes that, in a press conference […]
Young says Rangers need more athleticism and youth
Texas Rangers president of baseball operations Chris Young addressed the media today in the wake of the team’s disappointing 80-82 finish. I am not sure if this was broadcast live or not, but if it was, I didn’t hear it, because I was busy working. I haven’t seen the DMN or the Rangers website put […]
The State of the Rangers 40 Man Roster
The Texas Rangers’ 2026 season has come to an end, which means it is a pretty good time for us to check in on the state of the Rangers’ 40 man roster. The 40 man roster currently is full, and in addition, there are six players — Carter Baumler, Jalen Beeks, Jose Corniell, Jack Leiter, […]

Poll: 2026 A.L. Champions
As we mourn (or celebrate, depending on your point of view) the end of the Texas Rangers 2026 season, we shall do a couple of polls today in regards to the playoffs. First of all, what American League team do you think will win the American League championship and advance to the World Series? Cast […]
Monday Morning Texas Rangers Update
Good morning. Shawn McFarland writes that the Texas Rangers finally succumbed to working with a threadbare pitching staff in a season finale loss that left no doubt that there would be no October baseball. Jeff Wilson writes that the Rangers went 2-4 in their final two series of the year against two teams with losing […]
Thoughts on a 6-4 Rangers loss
Twins 6, Rangers 4
80-82 – Rangers leave us wanting no more, lose to Twins in finale
The Texas Rangers scored four runs but the Minnesota Twins scored six runs. The Rangers stayed true to who they were until the bitter end. A sauceless bunch. The 2026 Rangers were a dry, unseasoned chicken breast served with a side of tap water. Today’s game had everything you suffered with all summer bundled up […]

Cauley recalled, O’Hoppe optioned for finale
Texas Rangers infielder Cam Cauley has been recalled from AAA Round Rock, the team announced today. To make room for him on the active roster, the Rangers have optioned DH/catcher Logan O’Hoppe to AAA Round Rock. Cauley gets called up due to Nicky Lopez having a foot issue that resulted in him leaving last night’s […]

Texas Rangers lineup for September 27, 2026, against the Minnesota Twins: starting pitchers are MacKenzie Gore for the Rangers and Dean Kremer for the Twins. It is the last game of the regular season. The Rangers are still in contention. They need a win, and an Astros loss, to win the West. They need just […]
Sunday morning Rangers things
Good morning, folks… The Texas Rangers beat the Minnesota Twins yesterday by a score of 6-2. Shawn McFarland writes that Nathan Eovaldi came up big in a must-win game. Evan Grant, who has harped on the Rangers lacking an “identity” all season, returns to that theme as we head into Game 162. Josh Jung, who […]
Thoughts on a 6-2 Rangers win
Rangers 6, Twins 2
80-81 – Rangers make No. 162 relevant with 6-2 win over Twins in No. 161
The Texas Rangers scored six runs while the Minnesota Twins scored two runs. Earlier this month, the Rangers saw their leadoff hitter and most potent bat against right handers go down with a broken wrist. A few days later, their best and most reliable starting pitcher over the second half hit the shelf for the […]

Fractured hand ends Jung’s season
Texas Rangers third baseman Josh Jung suffered a fractured hand when he was hit by a pitch yesterday, putting an end to Jung’s 2026 season. This is the third time that Jung, who has been plagued by injuries during his professional career, has had a broken bone sideline him in the last four seasons. In […]
Saturday morning Rangers stuff
Good morning, LSB. The Rangers lost in self-admitted embarrassing fashion last night but are somehow still alive and tied for first place. Kennedi Landry writes about the final start of Jacob deGrom’s season (maybe) going very awry. Jeff Wilson used the word crumbled to describe deGrom’s start, which is probably fair. To add injury to […]
79-81 – Oops! All Whimpers, Rangers go down sad against Twins
The Texas Rangers scored two runs but the Minnesota Twins scored ten runs. There was a moment from a camera phone video recording where the Rangers returned to the field to salute the home fans after Thursday’s final game at The Shed this season, and as they departed one of the players yelled “We’ll be […]

Friday morning Rangers things

Kennedi Landry writes about Texas sending the season into the final weekend with the win. Evan Grant eulogized the Rangers on Wednesday but now says not so fast my friend. Jeff Wilson says the Rangers seized […]
