2013 for Texas Rangers fans has to feel sort of like they are part of a giant bingo game where you don’t know any of the other players in the room. It seems that on any given night a new number may be called and fans will be treated as a new face emerges from the dugout or comes jogging in from the bullpen. Just when you start to familiarize yourself with a player, he is gone,...

Prospect Profile: Jurickson Profar | INF | TEX

Prospect Profile is here to help. This week we examine Rangers uber-prospect, Jurickson Profar.Player Name: Jurickson...
Texas Rangers Recall Ross Wolf, Option Cory Burns
The Texas Rangers changed up their bullpen some on Wednesday, purchasing the contract of right-handed reliever Ross Wolf from Triple-A Round Rock while optioning right-handed reliever Cory Burns to the same minor league affiliate. Don’t look for Wolf to make a huge impact, and could be shuffled to the minoors quickly. But he has been very solid in the minors this year so if he...
Darvish gives up one run in loss
Where, oh where has the Rangers offense gone? I feel like they used it all in the Detroit series. Or something. All I know is I want it back.
Yu Darvish pitched six frames, and the only Oakland run was a home run by Yeonis Cespedes. Honestly, Darvish wasn’t his sharpest tonight, but he was still good enough for a win. If only he’d had a little offense to help him out.
Unfortunately...

The Texas Rangers may eventually fade, their record is fools gold….
This club’s record is fool’s gold. Their brainless trust has made a series of stupid personnel moves which will culminate in many more games a like the one we just witnessed last night as the season progresses. There is no way on earth Texas’ offense can compensate for the 230(+) RBI’s that they surrendered by not keeping Josh Hamilton and CHRIS DAVIS, who, if you’ll recall...
