Mariners, Rangers lock horns with playoff spots up for grabs

The Seattle Mariners and Texas Rangers may determine which of them makes the postseason field. The teams close their regular seasons by playing seven of the final 10 games against one another, beginning with Friday's opener of a three-game series at Arlington, Texas.

Veteran southpaw works his way back to Rangers' starting rotation

The Rangers moved the veteran from the rotation to the bullpen in early August, but the left-hander has righted the ship and pitched well enough of late that they’ll likely plug him back into the starting staff for the final stretch of the season.

The Rangers have a shroud of mystery surrounding this weekend’s starting pitchers

The Texas Rangers have a huge three game series at home this weekend against the Seattle Mariners, and as of now, Texas has announced a starting pitcher for only one of those three games.

Dane Dunning is currently slated to take the mound in Friday’s opener, going up against Mariners rookie Bryce Miller. Logan Gilbert and Bryan Woo are listed as the probable...

Morning, all!

Max Scherzer is a gamer and he’s already throwing just a week after going on the IL.

First round pick Wyatt Langford has torn through four classes of professional baseball in the last two months and has put up eye popping numbers every step of the way.

While the offense showed up with a vengeance yesterday, Jon Gray did not.

Evan Carter dubs the the Ranger lineup “scary” with his entire slate of All Star teammates back on the...

Thoughts on a 15-5 Rangers win

Rangers 15, Red Sox 5

Rangers 15, Red Sox 5

The offense woke up. I am imagining someone getting mad after Jon Gray gave up that second inning homer, shutting off the game, and not checking in again until hours later. Shit looked bleak early on though, didn’t it? Gray having command issues, Rangers going down 4-0, the box o’ chocolates Rangers offense nor having done a ton of late to inspire confidence that they could put up big numbers. The...

84-68 - Rangers come alive to wreck Red Sox 15-5 in finale

Jim Cowsert-USA TODAY Sports

The Rangers are (momentarily) back in first place

The Texas Rangers scored a beefy 15 runs while the Boston Red Sox pushed across a meager 5 runs.

An inning into this game and the Rangers trailed 3-0 after starter Jon Gray allowed consecutive base runners following two quick outs before a serving up an incredibly deflating three-run dong to Adam Duvall. An inning later, after a solo shot by Bobby Dalbec, it was 4-0 Boston and Texas’ back was against the...

Three potential offseason targets for the Texas Rangers

Spending big in free agency has become routine for the Texas Rangers, but much of those efforts have been focused on the starting rotation and infield. Strategically addressing the rest of the roster this offseason may let the Rangers take another step forward in 2024.

Angels pitcher/DH Shohei Ohtani has undergone elbow surgery of some sort

Shohei Ohtani of the Anaheim Angels underwent elbow surgery, per a statement released by his agent yesterday.

Notably, the statement did not specify what sort of elbow surgery it was. It was announced several weeks ago that Ohtani had a tear to his UCL, and would not be pitching anymore this season, though he would continue to hit. However, Ohtani has not played since September...

Morning, all!

Nathan Eovaldi threw his best game since returning from the IL on September 5, and Leody Taveras appears to be well on his way to putting an atrocious August behind him.

Josh Jung and Adolis Garcia announced their return from the IL with authority in the first game that included all six Ranger All Stars since July 18.

83-68 - Rangers hang on tight to beat Boston 6-4

Andrew Dieb-USA TODAY Sports

This one’s for Bochy’s balky hip

The Texas Rangers scored six runs while the Boston Red Sox scored four runs.

Yes, the Texas bullpen blew a save. That’s a given. But this time that came with an assist from bad home plate umpiring and a rare errant throw on a would-be double play from Corey Seager. Otherwise, the Rangers staunched the flow of disaster until they finally scored some late-inning runs to win a close game. Miracles do happen.

Texas Rangers promote 2023 first-round pick Wyatt Langford to AAA Round Rock

Securing Wyatt Langford with the No. 4 overall pick in the 2023 MLB Draft felt like a steal for the Texas Rangers. Langford was fresh off an incredible season with the Florida Gators and was considered a top-three prospect.
