deGrom Falls Short as Rangers' Pitching Run Hits Limit

Texas finally hit the limit of how much pitching chaos it could survive in a 7-2 loss to Toronto. Jacob deGrom lasted just 4⅓ innings with four walks, the bullpen finally cracked after carrying the club through the homestand, and the offense managed only two runs on Jake Burger's homer. Houston lost too, so the Rangers still enter Monday's off-day alone atop the AL West by one game.

Austin gets into why deGrom failed to give the staff the reset it needed, why the bullpen deserves more grace than blame, and why the offense had to carry more of the load. The show also covers Cal Quantrill's IL move, roster questions, the final-week rotation and Tuesday's Mets opener.
