Thoughts on an 8-1 Rangers win
Rangers 8, A’s 1
9-7 – Rangers serve up a double Burger with Eovaldi cheddar in 8-1 victory over A’s
The Texas Rangers scored eight runs while the Northern California Athletics scored one run. Maybe the most surprising thing about tonight’s game, especially as it was unfolding early, was that A’s starter Luis Severino ended up pitching six innings. Or maybe it was that the A’s eventually scored at all. In the game’s first frame, […]

Cal Quantrill named PCL pitcher of the week
Round Rock express pitcher Cal Quantrill has been named the Pacific Coast League Pitcher of the Week, it was announced today. Quantrill, 31, was one of the Rangers’ final cuts this spring, but agreed to stay with the team rather than exercise his right to opt out of his minor league deal. His first start […]
Fangraphs Rangers prospect list up
Fangraphs has released their list of the top 38 prospects in the Texas Rangers’ farm system for 2026. The Rangers’ minor league system is not a strength right now, but the folks at Fangraphs do see some things to feel good about. In particular, they are more bullish than most, I think, on Yolfran Castillo, […]

Phil Garner, longtime major league infielder and longtime major league manager, has passed away, it was announced. He was 76.

Thoughts on a 6-3 Rangers loss
Dodgers 6, Rangers 3
7-7 – Despite Little Nimmo’s Adventures in La La Land, Rangers fall 6-3
The Texas Rangers scored three runs but the Los Angeles Dodgers scored six runs. Even after turning a corner last season, Jack Leiter remains a work in progress. Or, perhaps a better way to say it is he’ll likely always be prone to having nights like this as long as command is never his strong […]

Saturday morning Rangers stuff
Good morning, LSB. The Rangers fell to the Dodgers last night in a wild game that I fell asleep on the couch during. Shawn McFarland writes about the Rangers’ ninth-inning rally that ultimately was for naught. The Athletic’s game story discusses the Max Muncy of it all. Wyatt Langford hit his first homer of the […]
