Thoughts on a 9-1 Rangers win
Rangers 9, Royals 1
26-31 – Rangers bloodied but unbowed following series-opening win over Royals
The Texas Rangers scored nine runs while the Kansas City Royals scored one run. After getting battered and bruised by leaguewide losers over the past couple of weeks, the Rangers donned their blood red tops with a sellout crowd decked out in replica Nolan Ryan bloody jerseys to witness an increasingly rare feat for Texas […]

Texas Rangers lineup for May 29, 2026
Texas Rangers lineup for May 29, 2026 against the Kansas City Royals: starting pitchers are MacKenzie Gore and Stephen Kolek. The floundering Texas Rangers will try to flounder less tonight against the Royals of Kansas City. Offensive dynamo Nicky Lopez is hitting ninth, which I assume is for that “two leadoff man” synergy. The lineup: […]

Thoughts on a 5-1 Rangers loss
Astros 5, Rangers 1
Friday morning Rangers things
Good morning, LSB. The Rangers lost to the Astros last night, 5-1. Shawn McFarland’s game story discusses the hole that Texas’ starting pitching has been digging in the early going of games. Kennedi Landry evaluates what’s gone wrong with the Rangers’ season one-third of the way into it. Skip Schumaker missed the game while attending […]
25-31 – Rangers doomed from the start in 5-1 loss to Astros
The Texas Rangers scored one run but the Houston Astros scored five runs. Just about the only thing that ultimately went well for the Rangers tonight was Yordan Alvarez didn’t hit what surely would have been his 47th homer in this series if my count is correct. Instead, both Jeremy Pena and Isaac Paredes went […]

Thursday Morning Links
Morning, all! Evan Grant remembers Bob Horner, who was the first overall pick by the Atlanta Braves in 1978, slipped the minor leagues entirely, posted over an .800 OPS in 8 of his 10 pro seasons, and had his career cut short due to a bad shoulder. With the Rangers now on their third year […]

Owen Proksch allowed a run in two innings, striking out one. Louis Marinaro struck out one in a scoreless inning. Hector Osorio had a hit and a pair of walks. […]
Thoughts on a 4-3 Rangers loss
Astros 4, Rangers 3
25-30 – Rangers get back to business with 4-3 loss to Astros
The Texas Rangers scored three runs while the Houston Astros scored four runs. Eschewing the exchange of bizarre history that highlighted the first two games of this series, the Rangers and Astros instead settled into more standard fare at The Shed tonight with a low-scoring contest that sort of became a home run derby between […]
Game 55 Game Day Thread – Houston Astros @ Texas Rangers

Texas Rangers lineup for May 27, 2026
Texas Rangers lineup for May 27, 2026 against the Houston Astros: starting pitchers are Jacob deGrom for the Rangers and Mike Burrows for the Astros. Texas will try to keep the offense going after yesterday’s 10 run explosion, with a lineup highlighted by new infielder Nicky Lopez. The lineup: Pederson — DH Osuna — LF […]
Rangers sign Lopez, DFA McCutchen
The Texas Rangers have signed infielder Nicky Lopez to a one year deal, the team announced today. To make room for Lopez on the active roster, the Rangers have designated outfielder/DH Andrew McCutchen for assignment. I’m really baffled by this move. McCutchen hasn’t hit well this season, slashing .192/.277/.260, including a .186/.300/.302 line against lefthanded […]

Wednesday Morning Links
Morning, all! Tuesday was Josh Jung’s first game back after missing two games with a sore shoulder, an injury that “freaked him out”due to a surgery he had for a torn labrum on the same shoulder four years ago. Jacob deGrom hasn’t missed any starts but maybe he wishes that he had, as he’s been […]
Minor league update for 5/26/26
Hickory starter Alejandro Chiquillo allowed two runs in four innings, striking out four and walking two. Hector Osorio had a hit. Marcos Torres had a hit and a stolen base. Dewar Tovar had a hit and a stolen base. Hickory box score Hub City lost by a score of 19-13. Enrique Segura didn’t get out […]
Thoughts on a 10-7 Rangers win
Astros 10, Rangers 7
25-29 – Prideful Rangers punish Astros 10-7
The Texas Rangers scored ten runs while the Houston Astros scored seven runs. Tonight’s starter for Houston Jason Alexander must feel like the biggest chump alive. After the Rangers nearly experienced a perfect game against them in Anaheim two games ago, and then saw these Astros toss a no-hitter against them last night, Alexander had […]

Texas Rangers lineup for May 26, 2026
Texas Rangers lineup for May 26, 2026 against the Houston Astros: starting pitchers are Jack Leiter for the Rangers and Jason Alexander for the Astros. Sigh. Its another game. The Rangers have tried their very best the last several games not to get hits, and accomplished that yesterday. Hopefully today will be different. Josh Jung […]
Rangers Reacts Results: Expectations
Last week’s edition of Rangers Reacts asked folks about whether the 2026 Texas Rangers are meeting your expectations. They are not: I whopping 0% of you said the Texas Rangers are exceeding your expectations for 2026. And perhaps most remarkably, this poll went up before the team was swept in Anaheim, and then no-hit by […]
