deGrom Exits With Triceps Fatigue, Rangers Lose 7-0
Jacob deGrom exited after two innings with right triceps fatigue, and Texas finished a miserable Anaheim series with a 7-0 loss to the Angels.
Austin digs into a Rangers lineup that went silent again, Walbert Ureña’s 10 scoreless innings against Texas this season, whether this veteran core should come back intact and the deadline decisions that left the roster in the middle. The conversation also gets into more Alejandro Osuna vs. Jarred Kelenic (shocker), the wild-card math versus what the team actually looks like, Skip Schumaker and Ron Washington, the case for buying big or rebooting this offseason, and a look ahead to Kumar Rocker against the Athletics.
