Not that Texas was more likely to avoid the same result, but still:

This is a gimlet. The ideal Game 162 cocktail. One can celebrate or commiserate. St George gin, homemade cordial (lime zest, lime juice, citric acid, sugar, water), a little St Germain because I’m a fancy boy. I toast to you. Thanks for following.

Rangers 4, Twins 6. 80-82. The season is over.

Texas 8% to win, Houston 9% to lose. 0.7% probability of that happening.

021

Scott Lucas @scottrlucas.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

So at last glance, Texas 24% to win and Houston 16% to lose. So about a 4% probability of two good outcomes. 😬

I saw TGT with the Aviators in Round Rock. A little stretched anywhere but left and not enough pop for that position. Not even really an up and down.

Rangers 6, Twins 2. 80-81. Head back above water for the moment. Tomorrow will matter.

Might publish my feelings on the Rangers that I drafted two weeks ago, might only print them out on paper and set them on fire while I sip tequila. Might do both.

Rangers 3, Mets 6. 78-79. Schumaker's speech uninspirational tonight.

010

Scott Lucas @scottrlucas.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Walcott lost his second challenge in as many days but has his first non-infield hit, a 101 liner to right. But then on a run-and-hit he was unsure whether a ball was caught in left (it wasn’t) and ran back to first after sliding safely into second and was forced out. Odd play.

010

Scott Lucas @scottrlucas.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Sebastian Walcott at short today. Called K and a 109 MPH groundout.

Scott Lucas @scottrlucas.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Rangers 6, Blue Jays 2. 78-77, alone in first place. Another rousing speech by Schumaker. Keep 'em coming.

Scott Lucas @scottrlucas.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Winston Santos a late scratch in Round Rock. You know what I know. Here’s my now-worthless notes for his start.

IF Sebastian Walcott has been promoted to AAA Round Rock and will DH tonight. I'll be on the call with Rylan Kobre tonight. Winston Santos vs. Ex-Ranger and Texas-Ex Nolan Kingham. Listen or watch, won't you?

Scott Lucas @scottrlucas.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Rangers 7, Blue Jays 1. 77-77. Back into a tie for first. Quite the clubhouse speech Schumaker gave before the game.

030

Scott Lucas @scottrlucas.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Well fudge. For 2 innings David Davalillo was as good as I’ve seen him. I mean, as in, “credible SP4 against Toronto tonight” good. And then the damn wheels fell off. 4 walks to five batters and done. Nice to see the version we fawned over for a little while at least.

Scott Lucas @scottrlucas.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Frisco and Amarillo fighting for a spot in the Texas League finals. Off to a, uh, rough start. Blake Townsend was quite effective in AAA with his upper 80s FB, but not here, now now.

110

Scott Lucas @scottrlucas.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

He’s been good lately. Had a wipeout soon after being DFAed but from late June on: 1.33 ERA, 13 BB, 35 SO in 27 IP, oppo .136/.252/.261. Has that janky delivery that you can ignore when he’s on but will boil your blood when he’s not.

010

Scott Lucas @scottrlucas.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Frisco quickly up 5-0 and Amarillo's David Hagaman (part of Kelly trade with AZ) is gone with two out. Walcott, Peirch Disla walks, Figuereo, Moore, Wagner hits. Hagaman was Amarillo's best starter and their bullpen is iffy. An ideal start. A victory would put Frisco in the Texas League finals.

Rangers 4, Red Sox 2. 75-76. Jacob Latz pitched his way out of the rotation in March, and now he has 30 saves. That's gumption. (Delete/repost after botching the quote)

Scott Lucas @scottrlucas.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Frisco's Dylan Dreiling was starting CF in 101 of his 104 first starts in the field. But when Paxton Kling showed up for the final five games, Dreiling didn't start there once and isn't tonight. Interesting, for both players.

010

Scott Lucas @scottrlucas.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Frisco up 3-0 in the 2nd at Amarillo in the opener of the Texas League semis. Solo by DH Gleider Figuereo and 2-run HR by CF Paxton Kling off Junior Sanchez. Frisco's title hopes depend on outslugging the opposition. It's what they do. Aidan Curry on the bump for the Riders.

A story from April suggested high-A Rome might disappear after the season, replaced by Trenton. Also that Atlanta would wrest Hub City from the Rangers, with no discussion of where Texas might end up. Now, word that Rome will stay put at least one more year. www.wrganews.com/2026/09/09/f...

Hickory's bullpen in the series: 18 IP, 25 H, 18 R (12 ER), 13 BB, 2 HBP, 18 SO, oppo line .342/.455/.542. Was the best pen in the league in regular season, most bullpen runs previously allowed in three straight games was 16. Dang.

Scott Lucas @scottrlucas.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Good evening. Lo-A Hickory is playing TB-affiliated Charleston in a deciding Game 3 of the Carolina Lg. semis. Josh Owens has drawn the start over fully rested Moises Morales, who with Evan Siary (nearly perfect last night) is one of Hickory's two best starters.

Scott Lucas @scottrlucas.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Josh Jung was pulled the half-inning after being hit by a pitch, but I'm inclined to think he was leaving anyway. Ball snuck under his front arm and hit his chest. He was playing 3B for the 1st time on rehab.

Rangers 3, Mariners 4. 72-75. Grab yer guns and head to the mountains.

Scott Lucas @scottrlucas.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Hickory's Evan Siary has faced 15 through 5 in a must-win vs. Charleston. Crawdads lead 3-0 on a Kaden Carpenter HR and Deward Tovar double to drive in Jay McQueen.

Scott Lucas @scottrlucas.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

Rangers 2, Mariners 3. 72-74. The Rangers played a day game on a Wednesday, and I watched some of it in the Amarillo airport. A weird experience.

Hickory's finale was rain out. They're the best of 80 full-season Texas-affiliated minor teams I've covered during 2007-2026 considering record, run differential and components (1/2):

2026 Low-A Hickory: 82-47, .636
2019 Low-A Hickory: 83-52, .615
2023 AAA Round Rock: 89-60, .597
2019 High-A Down East: 87-52, .626
2014 AA Frisco: 80-59, .575

I wrote a play about Dock Ellis that is centered around his time with the Texas Rangers. It’s a two-person play with the other character being then-Rangers owner Brad Corbett. It goes up at @theratnyc.bsky.social in Brooklyn September 11, 12, and 13. Link in comments. Would love to see you there.
