Adolis Garcia gives Rangers huge win with epic walk-off vs. White Sox
The post Adolis Garcia gives Rangers huge win with epic walk-off vs. White Sox appeared first on ClutchPoints.
Adolis Garcia is off to a slower start compared to the rest of his career. However, the former All-Star outfielder came through when it mattered the most against the Chicago White Sox. The 32-year-old hit an RBI single against Tyler Alexander to give the Texas Rangers a 5-4 win. Manager Bruce Bochy, who is in the last year of his deal with the Rangers, was ejected in the sixth inning. That spurred his team, lead by Corey Seager to score four unanswered runs to force the game into extra innings.

Garcia tagged Alexander for a single in the bottom of the 11th to score Evan Carter, who is dealing with injury. He replaced Seager as a pinch runner, a move that helped the Rangers walk away with their 35th victory of the season.
The single was Garcia's sixth walk-off hit of his career. The veteran outfielder has been with Texas since 2020, helping Bochy turn the team into a World Series champion. The win was the Rangers' sixth in seven games, and they will try to complete the series sweep on Sunday.
Unfortunately for Bochy, his scheduled starter might not be on the mound. Rangers starter Tyler Mahle told the team about soreness in his throwing shoulder. Bochy and Texas will be careful with his recovery. With Nathan Eovaldi already on the injured list, the Rangers cannot afford to lose another starter.

For the White Sox, the loss is a disappointing one. While Will Venable has improved the team's morale in his first year, Chicago's young roster still has a lot to learn about close games. Garcia took advantage of Alexander's lack of experience and his high pitch count on Saturday.
Every win counts for Texas at this point in the season. The Rangers are in third place in the American League West, fighting with the Seattle Mariners and Los Angeles Angels for second. The team has what it takes to contend for the pennant, but their offense has been lacking.
Saturday could be a good sign of what is to come. If Garcia and Seager can get back to their former glory, Texas is a dangerous team.

Cowboys' Schottenheimer Self-Scouts Offseason With Good News 'Fingerprints' Review
Cowboys' Schottenheimer Self-Scouts Offseason With Good News 'Fingerprints' Review originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The winds of change have blown through The Star this offseason, both on and off the field, and Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer is at the center of it all. Advertisement Having carefully picked the players and coaching staff with the help of the front office, Schotty has gotten things off to a positive start both on and off the field. With OTAs and minicamp completed, the early portion of the offseason program, where the scheme and system are put in place, is crucial. What is even more important is that the players understand it and are able to execute it. Why? So when training camp rolls around, as Schotty says, "it's go time." 'I think getting the system in place in all three of those phases is really important,' Schottenheimer said. 'I love where we're at right now offensively, in terms of the changes and the adjustments that we're going to do. Defensively, I love what Flus [Matt Eberflus] has brought from a mentality and a mindset. Advertisement "Of course, with Nick [Sorensen] and Carlos [Polk] with the special teams, just really with the three pieces coming back, Trent [Sieg], Banger [Bryan Anger], and Brandon [Aubrey], seeing him put his fingerprint on that has been really exciting.' Dak Prescott (4) and Brian SchottenheimerTim Heitman-Imagn Images So the foundations for the system and game style have now been laid out, with players now off for roughly six weeks. This is not the time to sit back and relax; it's time to stay in the classroom. Once they hit Oxnard, Schottenheimer won't want to have to bring players up to speed on things when they should already be across them, and going by his words, most are. Advertisement The system that Schotty hopes will deliver success to Dallas in 2025 has been formulated and then tweaked in preparation for a big training camp in Oxnard. Schottenheimer is pleased with how each phase has progressed, and we have heard glowing reports about each, but training camp will be the true test of how settled this scheme is. Is it July yet?

Cowboys QB Dak Promises One Position Group Will 'Make Some Noise' In 2025
Cowboys QB Dak Promises One Position Group Will 'Make Some Noise' In 2025 originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott didn't have a lot of things work in his favor in 2024, and one of them was the run game. Advertisement Prior to Dak's season-ending injury against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 9, Dallas rushed for over 100 yards just twice (102 and 109) with Ezekiel Elliott and Rico Dowdle struggling to get anything going. But now, with a new group headlined by Miles Sanders, Javonte Williams, Deuce Vaughn, and speed merchant Jaydon Blue, there is a little buzz of excitement regarding what the run game could develop into. And Dak's excited for what's to come. 'Great group,' Dak said. 'Starts with their coach, Fozy's [Derrick Foster] done a great job with those guys, Deuce [Vaughn], Hunter [Luepke], all of those guys making sure they're prepared and they've come in and attacked. They're professionals, you're talking about guys who have had pretty good careers and looking to take it to the next level. So those are two guys just excited for their opportunity and some young guys who are going to make some noise.' by Mike Fisher Sanders and Williams loom as the top two on the depth chart, with Deuce and Blue as the change-ups. Advertisement After a 2024 season where the Cowboys rushed for just 100.3 yards per game (ranked 27th), with a new group, and Klayton Adams and Conor Riley, both experienced coaches with the ability to develop good run games, Dallas feels to be in a good spot with the rushing attack. Something that couldn't be said a year ago. Of course, once training camp begins, the pads come on, and defenders can hit, we will see this "great group" in action, but for now, we have to take Prescott's word for it. And we'll see who makes some noise in Oxnard.
