I wrote about how the Rangers' offense was much closer to league-average than bad in 2025, how that's more annoyance than comfort, the ways in which luck & weirdness conspired against the team, and how to view the offense in terms of building for 2026.

First image is the moment Barger began to slow down. Second is the moment began to retreat to second. Arrow shows the ball. Third is when LF Hernandez has released the ball.

Texas’s high-A team had a doozy in 2011 (pre-bonus runner). Myrtle Beach struck out 32 Kinston batters and lost. Wouldn’t happen again even under old rules. Managers would start using position players on mound by the 13th or so.

Some baseball clubs swap between experience and youth when making a managerial change. Some swap between calm and fiery. The Rangers swap between bald and (relatively) hirsute.

Highlight to a frustrating season is Jacob Latz grabbing a rotation spot. Struck out the side after an out-or-bust dive by inexperienced LF Cody Freeman.

Rangers 7, Guardians 3. The Rangers are 81-79 and have guaranteed a non-losing season (and inadvertently assisted the Astros, but oh well).

Found a recap of Game 1 of the Sally finals between Hub City and Brooklyn by "John Sanchez" of The Wave (Rockaway Beach, NY) that had five references to the NHL.
