The first time we did a Rangers mailbag, this thing devolved into ranking the various stages of Cole Hamels’ beard. That seems like an unmitigated success to me, so let’s do another one! How much of an upgrade defensively is Cain to Delino in CF? — Kevin Turner (@ktfuntweets) January 6, 2018 Oh. OH. We’re […]
Diekman, Delabar, and Date Changes: the Jan. 4th Rangers Upset Update
We did it! We survived a day in Texas where the temperature didn’t get above freezing. Some of us handled it fine. Others, perhaps, less so. The new year is now four days old: still new enough to smell like a new year, but old enough now to already have its first coffee spill or […]
