The Rangers Only Need One Run To Win!

Posted on by Dazzling Erin

1-0 may not be the biggest victory in the history of baseball but I’ll take it!  Coming after a night when the Reds scored 14 runs against the Rangers, I’m happy with our one to zero victory.  Last night, the Reds put on a hitting clinic.  Tonight, the Rangers and Nathan Eovaldi put on a pitching clinic.  Eovaldi pitched a complete game shutout giving up just four hits and striking out eight.  He did not walk a single batter.

Our one run, the winning run of the game, was scored by Wyatt Langford.

The Rangers are now 4-2 and practically tied with the Angels for the lead in the American League West.

Go Rangers!

Sometimes, It’s Good To Miss A Game

I was feeling bad about missing tonight’s game between the Rangers and the Reds but then I looked at the score — 14-3, Reds — and I realized maybe it was for the best!  Just looking at the numbers, it looks like the Reds put on a hitting clinic and the Rangers had no answer for it.

That’s baseball.  You’re going to lose a few.  Let’s hope this is just a fluke and not a sign of things to come.

Congratulations, Cincinnati!

Go Rangers!

 

The Rangers Win Their First Series Of The Regular Season!

Posted on by Dazzling Erin

My Rangers got a wonderful win this afternoon, defeating the Red Sox by a score of 3-2 and winning their first series of the regular season!  Today’s game really reminded me why I love baseball so much.  It’s also reminded me how much fun it is to watch your team win.

From Jacob deGrom’s six strikeouts to the home runs hit by Adolis Garcia and Wyatt Langford, here are the highlights of a great game!

It’s Opening Day And My Heart Hurts

Posted on by Dazzling Erin

It’s Opening Day!  The Rangers played their first game of the regular season today, facing off against the Red Sox in Arlington.  I watched the game and I was really hoping that we might start the season with a win.  It didn’t happen.  The Rangers went into the Ninth Inning 2-2 and they ended things trailing by three runs.  Congratulations to the Red Sox on their 5-2 victory and especially to Wilyer Abreu on his two home runs.  (That second home run brought in three runs in the 9th and won the game for Boston.)

I love baseball but it’s a lot more fun when your team wins!  Luckily, it’s only the first game and there’s 161 left to go.  There’s not a baseball team in existence that has ever had an undefeated season and that will never change.  If a team ever does win 162 games in a row, they should just cancel baseball all together.

I love my team.  My heart hurts that they lost but I know it’s going to sing when they get their first win of the 2025 season!

Go Rangers!

The Dodgers Have Won The World Series

Posted on by Dazzling Erin

And just like that, the 2024 MLB post-season came to an end.

Congratulations to the Los Angeles Dodgers, the 2024 World Series champions.  For five innings, it looked like the Yankees were going to pull off a miracle and keep the Series going to at least a Game 6.  But, during the fifth inning, the Dodgers tied the score, the momentum shifted, and they never really looked back.  Even when the Yankees briefly reclaimed the lead, it felt like the an eventual Dodgers win was inevitable.  The final score was 7-6, Dodgers.

Watching the World Series is a lot different when your team isn’t on the field.  I hoped the Yankees would win, because I’m an American League girl but what I really wanted was to watch was my team playing for the championship.  Unfortunately, the Rangers did not make it this year.  Maybe next year.

Now, how long do we have to wait for Spring Training to begin?

Hooray For The Yankees!

Hooray for the Yankees?

There’s something that I never thought I’d say but I also never thought I’d find myself cheering for the Yankees in the World Series, either.

Yesterday, the Yankees finally showed some life and defeated the Dodger for the first time during this World Series.  The Yankees have got a long way to go and the odds are against them.  The Yankees have won one game but the Dodgers are still just one victory away from winning the Series.  But I was still proud to see the Yankees actually playing the game as if they cared last night.

Game 5 is tonight.  The Yankees are playing to keep the series going.  The Dodgers are playing to bring it to an end.  I really hope the Yankees pull off another victory.  I’m not ready for baseball to end.

Go Yankees!

The Dodgers Are One Game Away

Posted on by Dazzling Erin

Congratulations to the Dodgers, who are now one game away from winning the 2024 World Series.  I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a World Series that was won in 4 but it could happen when the Dodgers and the Yankees meet tomorrow.  Usually, the other team wins at least one game.

I’ll still be cheering for you, Yankees.  I really want to see your team make a comeback, if just because I can remember how excited I was when the Rangers proved all their doubters wrong last year.  The Dodgers have the momentum now but it only takes one victory to change things around.  And, at this point, the Yankees can’t afford to lose another game.  Not if they want to keep alive their chance of winning their first World Series since 2009.

Good luck, Yankees!  I still believe in you.

The Dodgers Win Game One Of The World Series!

Posted on by Dazzling Erin

Congratulations to the Dodgers on winning Game One of the World Series!

What a game that was!  The Dodgers came from behind, tied up the game in the eighth inning and then won things in the 10th inning in the most spectacular way possible, with grand slam that brough four runs across the plate!  If you’re going to go into extra innings, that’s how you want to win the game.

Of course, I endorsed the Yankees earlier today so they better make a comeback of their own tomorrow!

For now, here’s the grand slam that won the first game of the 2024 world series.
