Thoughts on a 5-3 Rangers win
Rangers 5, A’s 3
61-63 – Rangers get up off the mat, rally to beat A’s 5-3
The Texas Rangers scored five runs while the Sacramento Athletics scored three runs. After the Rangers missed out on delivering on an early RISP opportunity in the top of the first, an inning later someone named Henry Bolte, a person I’m not sure family could pick out of a lineup, hit a ball with two […]

Saturday morning Rangers things
Good morning, LSB. The Rangers lost another one last night, 8-3 to the A’s. Shawn McFarland writes about the Rangers’ no good very bad record against the AL West this season, specifically on the road. Jake Burger’s clutch homer wasn’t enough to “stop the bleeding.” Kevin Sherrington writes this latest skid is the final sign […]
60-63 – Rangers embarrassed out West again with 8-3 loss to A’s
The Texas Rangers scored three runs but the Northern California Athletics scored eight runs. Top of the first inning, the Rangers loaded the bases with two outs. They did not score. Bottom of the first inning, the A’s loaded the bases with two outs and hit a bases-clearing double. Ballgame, and the story of this […]

Texas Rangers lineup for August 14, 2026
Texas Rangers lineup for August 14, 2026 against the A’s: starting pitchers are Kumar Rocker for the Rangers and Gage Jump for the A’s. Texas will try to get the Angels funk off of them and break their three game losing streak. There’s a lefty going so the Rangers have the righty-heavy lineup out. Kumar […]

The Texas Rangers have recalled infielder Cody Freeman and purchased the contract of Marco Gonzales from AAA Round Rock. To make room on the active roster for the pair, the team has optioned infielder Cam Cauley and pitcher Ben Peoples to AAA Round Rock. To make room for Gonzales on the 40 man roster, the […]

MLB Pipeline’s top 100 prospect list has been updated as of yesterday, and the Texas Rangers have three — that’s right, three — players in the top 100. Infielder Sebastian Walcott, who is back in game action and hitting (if not yet playing in the field) after internal brace surgery during spring training, is at […]

60-62 – Rangers lose dignity, series to Angels
The Texas Rangers scored zero runs but the Anaheim Angels scored seven runs. I hadn’t thought much about the Rangers all day. I hadn’t even really paid attention to the lineup when I was putting up the GDT. BZZR is finally on Roku (I can finally uninstall Poob!) so I got that working a few […]

Thursday Morning Links
Morning, all! Cody Bradford has impressed Skip Schumaker in his first two outings after a long road back from injury, and is providing some much needed stability to a rotation that is showing the wear and tear of a major league season.

60-61 – Rangers lose to Biblically accurate Angels
The Texas Rangers scored two runs but the Anaheim Angels scored five runs. I’m a big baseball fan so when I see or meet anyone I always tell them, “If you ever get the chance, you gotta see George Klassen pitch.” He’s one of the greatest of all time and it’s a privilege and a […]

Wednesday Morning Links
Morning, all! Monday marked the first game in a stretch against a couple of cellar dwellers, and the Rangers capitalized by winning 4-1 in extras against the Angels. Unfortunately, the offense was flacid last night despite ample opportunities, so the signs aren’t pointing to a momentum building road trip. Cody Bradford was a bright spot, […]
