TEX Headline News: Playoffs begin
Tuesday, September 8th , 2026
Playoff baseball generates a reaction in every fan. To the fan of the perennial loser, it's a time to moan again about their team's misfortune. To the fan whose club defines success by the number of Round 1 championship trophies lining their clubhouse walls, anything short of the ultimate victory is a disaster. This is playoff baseball. Baseball lovers can't help but be consumed by it in some way or another. There is nothing better than playoff baseball. These Round 1 battles will unfold later today:
Midland RockHounds vs Springfield Cardinals.
TEX News: Regular Season ends
Tuesday, September 8th , 2026
For the lucky few going to the playoffs, the season is just beginning. For most, the postseason is a just a distant pipe dream -- a season that could have been. Their season is over except for the bashing, rehashing and revamping that takes place in the hot stove league. It's now time for the dominant teams to do battle for the 2026 Texas League championship. It will be decided in the Round 1. Only the best will be left standing.
