Thoughts on a 7-4 Rangers loss
Yankees 7, Rangers 4
16-19 – Rangers let Yankees off the hook, fall 7-4 in opener
The Texas Rangers scored four runs but the New York Yankees scored seven runs. Yankees starter Elmer Rodriguez has had a peculiar beginning to his big league career. The 22-year-old has been a big leaguer for just two games in which he has played and both have been starts against the Rangers, a team not […]

Jonah Heim to the Athletics
Catcher Jonah Heim, who signed with the Atlanta Braves this offseason after being non-tendered by the Texas Rangers, was traded to the Athletics yesterday for cash considerations. Heim went to camp with the Braves on a minor league deal, but with veteran Sean Murphy starting the year on the injured list, Heim was on the […]

Monday Morning Texas Rangers Update
Good morning.

Tigers 7, Rangers 1
16-18 – Leiter imperfect therefore Rangers lose series to Tigers
The Texas Rangers scored one run but the Detroit Tigers scored seven runs. Looks like I picked the right day to not be subscribed to the 20th different service that MLB has shoved exclusive games on. The Rangers had a guy striking out everyone and perfect into the fifth inning against a team going with […]

Sunday morning Rangers things
Good morning, folks… The Texas Rangers fell to the Detroit Tigers by a score of 5-1 last night. The DMN writes that Kumar Rocker’s performance was a reminder of the non-linearity of progress.

Thoughts on a 5-1 Rangers loss
Tigers 5, Rangers 1
16-17 – Winning streak eludes Rangers with 5-1 loss to Tigers
The Texas Rangers scored a run but the Detroit Tigers scored five runs. I regret to inform you that the Rangers were back on their bullshit. A mystifying Achilles’ heel for the starting staff so far this season has been a persistent struggle to get the third out in early innings. That particular bugaboo certainly […]
