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.

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.

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. The Rangers released an injury update wherein we learn that Jack Leiter will […]

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, […]

60-60 – Rangers slink back to .500 with another loss to Angels

The Texas Rangers scored two runs but the Anaheim Angels scored three runs. The Rangers had two paths they could take tonight. They could win tonight’s game and inch a smidge further from being a .500 ballclub or they could lose and be right back at .500. It’s pretty easy to guess which direction they […]

Angels fire pitching coaches, including Maddux

The Anaheim Angels have fired pitching coach Mike Maddux, assistant pitching coach Darryl Scott, and bullpen coach Dom Chiti, per Jeff Passan, underscoring that the Anaheim Angels are an unserious organization that should continue to be relegated to clown car status in MLB. The Angels came into the season with their general manager, Perry Minasian, […]
