I lose followers almost every single time I post or comment on anything, whether it's sports, art, politics or puppy videos. Feels so good to not need anything from social media.

@RanDumbInTX Yeah, I'm with you. I have a feeling that, with this being his walk year, the leash will be ridiculously short. And Skip strikes me as a dude who won't just trot you out there because you've been in the league long enough to draw a pension. He seems to understand the urgency.
English
@localguy76 Hopefully it’s a short leash they have him on. With the uncertainty of a ‘27 season, we don’t have time to keep him in the lineup, IMO. We won’t have this pitching staff forever.
English
When Joc is right, he's on time for high fastballs. This is what has been so frustrating to watch, bc it's supposed to be his bread n butter. IF he can start punishing these guys who disrespect him (hard to blame them) with these high fastballs in zone, this offense gets scary.

Joc going yard to left-center in the 4th was exactly what we needed to see. He's hitting .175 this spring with a .548 OPS. That dinger won't fix the numbers, but it might fix his head. We need his bat to wake up.
English
@RanDumbInTX Hard to be a fan after the way he's performed. But he's on our team, has been a beast at the plate in the past. I'm rooting for him to get it together. He has a clean slate as of today. Clock is ticking and there are some talented dudes in this system.
English
@localguy76 Not a fan….yet. BUT….but, in his defense; the entire team sucked last year at the plate. Seems as if some things have been worked on in the spring. I hope he and the entire lineup has great success. We have pitching and that’s rare for this organization.
English
@_jivany_ Maybe. It could all blow up and go to hell in a handbasket. I just prefer optimism. Better for my blood pressure.
English
@localguy76 That all sounds great. Which is exactly why I dont trust it lol. Guess I'm just waiting for the shoe to drop.
English
This is why - even though the changes they made to the offense over the offseason seem subtle rather than splashy - I really believe this offense is going to be orders of magnitude better than last year. I really do think if the pitching stays healthy the Rangers win the AL West.

Was the Rangers' offense bad in 2025 or just unlucky? ESPN says it was the latter... @rjchoppy: "I went & looked. The Rangers scored 500 runs in their 81 wins & scored less than 200 runs in their 81 losses. And I was like, 'That seems like a really, really big differential...'"
English
@RangersFanCave Love Langford, but if Seager is our MVP we're probably a WS contender. That's how good he is when he's healthy and right. Changes the entire outlook of the team's chances.
English
Who wins Rangers Team MVP in 2026? Reply with your pick! Corey Seager Wyatt Langford Jacob deGrom Brandon Nimmo
English
@_jivany_ I understand that. But when I think about it, I can only think the pitching should get even better. Evo healthy. deGrom another year removed from TJ. Leiter building off breakout. Gore > Mahle, Rocker > Corbin. And the pen really looks pretty solid (no proper closer, ofc).
English
@localguy76 Agree.
My worry, believe it or not, is the pitching. Can they replicate last year? That's hard to do. If the offense steps up, usually one other part slows down. It's hard to get all 3 parts of the game working well at the same time (offense, SP, bullpen).
English
@1053thefan @theboone29 @1053SS @rjchoppy What amazes me is the fact that everywhere I see it talked about, the consensus seems to be that literally no one knows or understands what changed from '23 on. That's rough, man. Maybe just move the fences in a touch, rather than beat down your lineup mentally.
English
.@theboone29 with @1053SS & @rjchoppy on Globe Life Field playing big last season:
"We were playing in a different ballpark than everyone else was last season. ... Players can get mentally beat up when a ballpark is playing really big..."

@_marissawhitney He needs to stay healthy this season so he dunk on everybody. No one deserves a career year more than him.

@localguy76 Whos projected to be in the pen do u know? Trying to familiarize myself with all these dudes
English
Latz to the pen. This bullpen is gonna be a lot better than I initially thought. And knowing we have guys like Peyton Gray, who struck out 18 hitters in 10.2 innings this spring and pitched to a 0.66 WHIP, waiting in the wings, gives me a ton of confidence.
English
The fact that Skip decided to burn a mound visit just to honor Carter Baumler in front of his teammates, his opponents, and the fans, speaks volumes about the type of leader the Rangers have in the dugout. Exactly the type of guy who could take this team back to the top.
English
She's giving Gene Hackman in Hoosiers vibes. Chills.

English
@notimabill01 @PaMaBoysandDogs Even if you're not feeling the game anymore, this isn't the way to end a career. Just imo. Maybe we're all misreading him and he does still really want it, but it's hard to see it if that's true.
English
Joc just does not look good to the eye test. You gotta know they're gonna climb the ladder on you after you're late on 93 at the top of the zone. Have to be ready.
English
What none of these national accounts are reporting is my favorite part: right after this he blew the next hitter away with a heater up and in for the K to end the inning. Absolute cinema.

Rangers prospect Carter Baumler found out he made the Opening Day roster during a mound visit from manager Skip Schumaker

Gavin Collyer is going to be a big leaguer at some point in 2026. The ride he’s able to generate on his fastball from the arm slot he throws out of is just stunning to watch. Combining that with the velocity he’s able to hit, makes him very impressive to watch.
He’s going to start the year in Round Rock to prove he can sustain his improved command he showed this spring, but everything I see when I watch him pitch tells me he’s going to see big league action at some point this year.
