Hi and welcome to another edition of Right

on Rangers Live, coming at you in the

top of the eighth inning.

We have got bases loaded and it is

interesting, to say the least, what will happen

next.

We have Jacob Latz on the hill, Monasterio

up to bat.

Good to be hanging with all y'all,

one and two count.

Latz doing his best to maneuver out of

this one.

Never can be easy, can it?

Never can be easy.

One and two count here, top of the

eighth once again.

Here's the pitch from Latz.

Little foul ball here.

Rangers clinging to a 4-2 lead.

What's good everybody?

Thanks for hanging out.

Badly need this game.

You got obviously Cleveland winning earlier today.

Houston won 4-2.

Need this ballgame badly.

Ball two, we got 2-2-2 right

now.

Robert Garcia coming into the ballgame, not quite

able to get the job done in the

top of the eighth and Skip Schumaker decides

to leave nothing to doubt, brings in the

all-star closer.

We'll talk about Robert Garcia's outing here in

just a little bit.

Oh, that was close.

Nearly a painted called strike three, just a

bit inside on that one.

Tonight, Jacob deGrom five innings.

He was not able to go past that,

got the pitch count up, up, up.

deGrom after five frames, he was just about

done at 92 pitches.

And almost a grand slam by Monasterio, just

pulled foul.

That's a heart stopper right there, man.

That is a straight up heart stopper.

Oh, thought maybe off the bat that one

had a shot to leave the yard for

real.

That was, that was bad.

Sugi, what's good?

That was not great.

No, thank you.

All right, 3-2 pitch.

Latz, here we go, babe.

Swing and a miss.

Latzi gets the job done.

Oh my goodness.

Jacob Latz gets strike three.

That was a challenge pitch if I've ever

seen one.

Straight up challenge pitch right there.

That was right down the middle, man, over

the heart of the plate.

That was Latzi saying, come hit me.

And Monasterio was not game.

Good stuff.

Rangers go to the bottom of the eighth

with the two-run lead preserved.

They will have Jake Burger up and Brandon

Nimmo, Wyatt Langford in the hole.

And from there, if Langford is able to

reach or one of them is able to

reach, Ezekiel Duran would come to the plate.

Hope you all are having a good Tuesday.

It's good to be back talking Rangers baseball

with you after the off day.

We had a lot of football this weekend.

We had Longhorns, we had Cowboys.

I still had the Cowboys intro on earlier.

Hope you don't mind.

Forgot to switch that one over.

It's all good, man.

It's been a day.

Hopefully the Rangers can put the cherry on

top of this Tuesday with the win.

It's been not totally without some ups and

downs, but we're here.

Four to two in the bottom of the

eighth.

Again, as we were saying, if you're just

showing in Houston wins, Cleveland wins, you really

need this game.

You badly, badly need this game.

Eighth inning got a little dicey.

You had Robert Garcia coming in, and I

do not want to hear any Robert Garcia

slander in the chat.

I don't.

If we had a third baseman that could

throw the ball and a first baseman that

could scoop the ball, that inning goes totally

differently.

I think we're seeing why I would prefer

the Rangers go a slightly different direction at

the hot corner.

Not a huge fan.

In fact, I was actually surprised you had

Mike and Dave talking about why not bring

in Cody Freeman for defensive reasons.

I mean, look, I wouldn't probably bring in

Cody to play third base.

I would probably have Zeke Duran slide over,

have Cody play second base.

I think Mike brought up, why don't you

have Freeman come in?

A little surprise that he's not in.

I'd probably go Zeke at third right now

and Freeman at second.

In fact, a little surprise that that's not

the setup right now.

If I'm being totally honest, you don't really

need necessarily more runs at this point.

Would it be nice?

Absolutely.

But right now you need to protect a

lead.

You hope that that one doesn't come back

to bite.

I don't know what the plan is going

to be for the top of the ninth

inning, but I would probably be doing some

shifting around for defensive purposes.

Yeah.

Not a great sequence there.

I mean, Robert Garcia, God bless him.

If he gets that first out, we talk

about this all the time on the show.

If you get that first out, it's so

huge.

It changes the complexion of the entire inning,

like the entire inning.

It's too bad because lats now you have

to burn them for an extended period here.

And you've got a full week of baseball

ahead of you.

You got six games, five after this one,

of course, I wouldn't say it's super ideal

to have to be burning lats on day

one of this week.

I mean, of course he's going to pitch

again, but it's only a matter of time.

If you're having to throw this much in

a really tight span, he's going to tire.

You don't want to see that happen.

I don't think anybody is questioning that lats

is going to be back again this week.

He has to be, but it's still not

ideal to have your closer day one right

now in the ball game for not just

three outs, but for five, not great.

Not great, but that was a huge K.

That's a huge strikeout.

It's nothing against lats.

It's just unfortunate that he's going to have

to go five outs today when you've got

a couple games left in this series and

you've got three more coming up this weekend

against a Blue Jays team that's hungry for

the playoffs as well.

Jeremy, what's good?

Question from YouTube, is Eovaldi pitching in this

series?

He's probably still coming out of the bullpen.

I haven't heard any plans for Eovaldi to

start.

I haven't.

I haven't heard for any plans for Evo

to get back in the starting rotation.

We'll see what they decide to do.

My impression was he was just going to

be helping out in the pen until further

notice, kind of an indefinite situation, but could

be wrong on that.

Maybe they have a plan to eventually throw

him back in the mix.

Astros did not lose OC.

Comment from TikTok there.

Nobody really ahead of the Rangers lost.

The Blue Jays did take an L10 to

one, so they are now two games under

500.

That's helpful.

That's definitely helpful, but that Blue Jays race

is going to get decided this weekend, right?

The Blue Jays, the whole rivalry there is

going to get decided this weekend.

The race, I should say.

I mean, although the Blue Jays are a

rival, I would say, of the Rangers, who

could forget 10 years ago?

I mean, it's not the most intense rivalry

in baseball, don't get me wrong, but that

Blue Jays back and forth is going to

get evened out when the Rangers meet up

with Toronto this weekend.

We keep rolling.

Chris, what's good, babe?

Yeah, I have in the past this year,

just because I'm doing a lot with Right

on Rangers, obviously, and with some other things

going on in life.

I'm not coaching at all this year, but

I coached for a long, long time, both

baseball and football.

Some high school, some middle school.

Actually, I like the middle school coaching.

I know people call me crazy, but I

just like the fundamentals, man.

I like the age.

I like seventh, eighth grade.

That's kind of been my sweet spot, but

I've done the high school ball thing.

I've done a little bit of everything.

Chris, appreciate that, man.

Really appreciate the kind words.

It means a lot, brother.

Latz is not the most emotional guy, that's

for sure.

He is not the most emotional.

Comment from YouTube here, would have loved to

see Latz get fired up after that K,

just straight-faced aura.

Yeah, he's definitely a man about his business.

Here he comes right now, straight-faced, ready

to get these three and send the Rangers

home with a dub.

Yes, sir.

Crickets from Wyatt tonight, comment from YouTube.

Yeah, Wyatt, he's rightfully getting dropped down.

I don't want to say or come off

like I'm happy that Wyatt's doing poorly.

Nobody wants that, but I'm glad they decided

to move him down.

I think that, to me, was the thing

I was worried about.

Are they going to make the tough decision?

Are they going to get caught up worrying

about people's feelings?

Or are they going to make the right

move and decide, hey, we got to have

more production up at the top of this

lineup?

Right now, Wyatt Langford just not giving you

enough production.

Can he run into one at any moment?

Absolutely.

Absolutely.

But Wyatt 0-4 tonight, hitting 132 over

his last 15 games.

132, hitting 572 with the OPS.

It's not good.

Over the last 15 games, it's been brutal.

Seven for 53.

18 strikeouts in those 15 games.

It hasn't been a great stretch for Wyatt.

Has not been a good month of September,

even into August, man.

It wasn't a great month of August either.

Wyatt, last 30 games, 206 average with a,

looks like 710 OPS, so a little bit

better.

A little bit better if you go slightly

wider frame, but not really.

Not really.

This is an interesting comment here from Brian

YouTube.

Brian, what's good, my guy?

Good to see you as always, sir.

You know, you can't worry about feelings like

the bocce regime did at this point, says

Brian, YouTube comment again.

I do feel like there was a little

bit too much emphasis on players and the

veterans and what's it going to do to

their mental.

And you didn't always see guys who needed

to ride the bench, ride the bench.

I mean, if we're being totally honest, you

know, Adolis Garcia last year, you know, at

the back end of a really bad two

-year stretch, Adolis was not very good in

24 or in 25.

Had some big moments and we all love

Doley, but it wasn't good back-to-back

years.

And the Rangers really needed in September of

last year to let that little rascal's run

ride.

You didn't have any other choice, but, you

know, they ruined it.

They inserted Adolis right back in and, you

know, promptly everything went downhill.

I'm not saying that Doley is the reason

why the Rangers didn't make the playoffs last

year.

Don't get it twisted.

But I do think that there was a

little bit of an insistence on just going

back to, you know, the way that they

had always done it.

And there wasn't enough of an emphasis on,

hey, let's kind of ride the hot hands

that got us here.

I definitely would agree with this comment.

I feel like there have been times over

the past two years where feelings have got

in the way of making the right move.

As Jacob Latz strikes out Durbin for out

number one in the bottom of the ninth

inning.

Rangers up four to two.

If you're just joining us, Latz trying to

get the five-out save, correct?

Five-out save, Jacob Latz.

He's at 19 pitches.

You'd love, I'll knock on wood, I don't

want to jinx it.

You'd love to see him get out of

this under 30.

I do not want to see him go

above 30 right now.

Please no.

Race with Houston and the Rangers.

What's good?

Thanks for the comment.

You got Houston up a game, but it's

basically two games because of the tiebreaker, right?

Basically two.

Swing and a miss, 0-1.

Latz pitching to 8-9-1 in this

frame.

Sogard up to bat right now.

It'll flip over to Roman Anthony.

Don't really want to give an opportunity for

Roman Anthony to tie the game.

I think I'll take a Sogard strikeout here,

please.

Hey, appreciate you, man.

Sooner sold.

Thank you.

Ground ball.

Seager is there, flips it to first.

We have two outs.

We have two outs.

Let's close this one out.

We're getting there.

Roman Anthony 0-4 on the night.

Jacob Latz, he has done a job so

far.

Some Rangers fans getting on their feet.

Thank you.

We got some good fans still at the

ballpark.

It's a beautiful thing to see.

It really is.

Latzy going for save number 30 on the

season.

Hello.

Big milestone there for Latz, save number 30

on the year.

Up the middle, base hit.

Carter going to keep it in front.

Anthony gets the two-out rally started, keeps

the Red Sox alive.

I don't think we have had a 30

-save closer.

I feel like Yates, what did Yates do?

I was doing a stat on this in

one of the Rangers history posts that I

did.

I'm trying to think like the top three

most saves over the last decade.

It's in the 30s, man.

It is in the 30s.

We'll see how far Latz can go.

We'll see how many he can rack up

before the end of this season.

Look, we're playing some tight ball games the

rest of the way.

I mean, we'll see how many he can

get up to by season's end.

Latz 1-0, Jones up to bat one

for one.

Joe Nathan's definitely up there.

Like I said, I want to say Kirby

Yates got somewhere up around 30, but I'm

going to look up Yates right now.

Pop up, stay in play, stay in play.

Just gets foul.

We have one strike, one in one count.

Hey, there you go.

A couple of fans caught a foul ball.

Love to see that.

Yates for the Rangers.

He saved, let's see, 33 games.

I knew Yates was in the low 30s.

Yates saved 33 two years ago in 24.

Matt, appreciate you, man, but good backup there,

bud.

33.

Yeah, I mean, that feels like the number.

It's been a second.

Latz might get past that.

Strike two, final strike.

The Red Sox are down to it.

Latz is going to collect himself, get some

Rosin.

We got the fans on their feet.

Come on now.

Oh, just killing the moment here with the

batter timeout.

I see how it is.

I see how it is.

Latz looks in for the sign.

He likes it.

He sets and delivers.

Oh, did he go?

He went.

That was questionable, but I'll take it, baby.

I thought maybe he held up, but let's

go ahead and cue the, I like Texas

music.

Hello, wind column.

The Rangers win another game.

They come back home for some good home

cooking and get the homestand started off right.

Jacob Latz collects his 30th save of the

season.

He loves it.

Does a little burger steamroll.

And here we are.

The Texas Rangers have won and now remain

one game back in the AL West, remain

a couple of games back in the wild

card.

Great win.

Outstanding win for Texas today.

You have a difficult opponent in the Red

Sox, a team 14 games over 500, and

the Rangers get a win in game one.

Always good to start a series this way,

especially if you're looking to stack wins, win

series, stack series wins.

Texas now within one game of 500, one

game of 500.

How about it?

Yeah, that did not look like strike three.

I didn't want to kill the vibes as

Latz finished up his 30th save of the

year.

I wasn't trying to kill any vibes, but

that did not look like a swing.

If I'm just being totally honest with you,

I will take the gift.

But as you all know, I like to

call it.

Like I see it felt like that was

a bit of a gift.

We will take it.

We will gladly take it.

Rangers giving us all hope right now.

Oh man.

They're going to don't do it to us

again.

Please don't do it to us.

Don't get my hopes up and break my

heart.

I don't know if I can take it.

This is what they like to do to

you.

They play these mind games with you.

You think that they are dead in the

freaking water and then they suddenly reel off

a nice little tight three game win streak.

It is good to be talking about winning

Rangers baseball.

I will say that.

I always say that to y'all.

Look, there's a ton to talk about after

the Rangers drop a game.

You know, you've got a lot to talk

about tonight.

Honestly, a lot of good stuff.

Obviously some things that could be improved, but

nevertheless, you got to win.

And that's what it's all about right now.

That is what it's all about.

I told you guys, I just want to

reiterate, I'm not going to give the full

sermon, but man, it's just good to be

playing meaningful September ball.

It's just good to be playing like games

that actually matter right now.

I last last year at this time, we

were toasted.

They had totally melted down against Houston.

And then they came back home and got

smacked by Miami and the season was over.

And in 2024, the season was over in

late August.

They, they were done.

So before the calendar even turned to September,

man, I just really don't want to take

that for granted.

It's good to be playing ball that matters

right now.

Not talking about who's going to factor in

for next year or who are we looking

to finish strong going into the off season

and forget that.

Give me this games that actually count that

matter with the Rangers close at the doorstep

of a playoff spot.

Have they been lucky this year?

Yes.

The American league is not great.

Have they gotten some fortuitous bounces this year?

Some fortuitous luck?

Yes.

Nobody's denying this is a flawed team, but

you know what?

At least they're making it interesting.

At this point, you could have dropped a

couple more games over the weekend, Arizona.

You could have came out flat tonight against

the red Sox.

You didn't, it was freaking hilarious though, to

start the game, you had RSN malfunctioning and

the Rangers like promptly go on this very

nice scoring spree.

I mean, it was perfect, honestly, like very

2026 Rangers.

You'll only know if you've watched all 151

games, like a lot of us have, but

like the fact that RSN goes down and

the Rangers go on a hitting spree, you're

like that tracks and then they come back

on and Jacob deGrom promptly gives up a

two run bomb.

It's like you couldn't have written the joke

any better.

You honestly couldn't know RSN showing Elvis and

Jared doing their dance moves with the cheerleaders.

And then you've got the Ranger scoring four

runs to make it for nothing.

Yeah, it was a Larry.

I mean, it was kind of funny.

I actually have MLB TV, so I switched

it over to the NESN broadcast.

So I was watching it, but I, I

flipped back a couple of times and it

was like, man, it is still commercial.

It is still Jared and Elvis doing their

thing.

What, what is happening right now?

That was funny.

James, what's good?

Yes.

Latz man.

Well, we'll definitely look back on this season

for Jacob Latz and we will appreciate everything

that he did coming out of nowhere.

This is how closers are born though, isn't

it?

It's like a lot of these guys just

come out of nowhere.

Jacob Latz.

No one thought this guy was going to

be anywhere close to a closing role this

year.

Nobody.

And I've said this so many times, skip

see why nobody knew this guy was going

to close 30 plus games.

Nobody.

I don't even believe anyone in that front

office for a second that says that Jacob

Latz, they, they just had a feeling he

was going to be this good and he

was going to be the closer.

Come on now.

No way you sometimes just get fortunate.

And that is what happened.

Latz becoming one of the most dominant closers

in the game.

And he shows it off again tonight with

his 30th save of the season.

Look big credit to the bullpen tonight.

We have been railing on those dudes.

It feels like every other game, every other

game we have been railing on these guys

and tonight they showed out.

Look, Robert Garcia.

I know some of the, the criticism was

starting to rain down on RG a little

bit.

Come on.

The dude got a nice ground ball and

look, I know some people are going to

be really quick to defend Josh Jung for

whatever reason.

It's not a great play by young.

It's not a great play by Josh Jung

either.

That's not a throw in third base.

Come on now.

It's not a great throw.

It's not a great scoop.

It was just not a good sequence in

general.

And for all my fielding percentage truthers out

there, they got a base hit on that.

So all the people that are always coming

back at me with fielding percentage, we realized

that a base hit was given on that

burger.

Josh Jung sequence to start off the inning.

Like young should not have been in the

game.

I've already got people commenting.

I'm seeing the notifications just that that's on

burger.

It's not on burger.

You should be able to have a third

baseman throw from that distance over to first

base.

And let's not pretend like that was a

nice long hop for Berg.

I mean, Josh Jung, just short, just shorted

that throw.

It's a noodle arm throw, John.

Thank you.

I mean, I know that some people just

think I have it out for these guys.

And I mean, I've stopped caring.

I can't convince people one way or the

other.

I'll call out good things when I see

it.

I call out things that are ridiculous when

I do see those.

And that was a noodle arm throw from

your third baseman.

Come on, baby.

Just call it like it is.

I know some of y'all really like

Josh Jung and, and I do too.

I love the bat, but I don't know

why he was in the game at that

point.

I really don't understand.

It should have been, it should have been

an E five.

It was a bad throw.

It wasn't a good throw.

I don't want to hyper focus on this

because we did win a baseball game.

But as you guys know, I like to

take it a little bit beyond the surface.

I just see, honestly, more than a Josh

young criticism.

This is a Robert Garcia defense.

I know some people are going to get

the impression that Robert Garcia didn't really have

a good game today.

It doesn't help when your third baseman and

first baseman can't turn an easy ground ball

into an out to start off the inning.

It just doesn't help.

So for me, Robert Garcia, he's on a

good roll.

He did walk a guy.

I mean, obviously you never want to see

that walks never ideal when you're coming in

late in a ball game.

I think we all get it.

That definitely is something I think you can

nitpick Robert Garcia on a little bit.

But nevertheless, you did have that walk to

Willson Contreras, Willson Contreras, a righty.

We talked about it on the video I

put out earlier today.

Robert Garcia and righties are not good mixtures.

Robert Garcia is a lefty specialist to me,

and I think they need to continue to

employ him as such.

Obviously there's the three batter minimum, so it's

not really something you can always avoid.

But Robert Garcia against lefties, I feel so

confident in his ability to get lefties out.

By the way, just so we're all clear,

no lefty has gotten a hit off of

Robert Garcia this year.

No lefty has reached base via the hit

against Robert Garcia.

I just want to give a little defensive

RG, man.

He came out, got a quick out, and

the defense let him down.

We keep rolling.

Man, I don't know how many we're going

to stack.

Comment from YouTube, give me seven more wins

and I think we could get in.

The Rangers are going to have to do

something special here.

This is the reality.

You have Houston winning, you have Cleveland winning.

This is the reality.

You sometimes are going to win a big

game like this, but then you're going to

look at the scoreboard and you've got the

team ahead of you also taking a game.

So the Rangers are going to have to

do something special here.

You drop a game, you drop tomorrow's game,

Houston wins.

It's just every loss is so huge at

this point.

You really are going to have to do

something special if you want an opportunity to

make it into the big dance, to make

it into October.

I don't know what's going to happen over

these next 11 ballgames, but I am excited

to see how it all plays out.

It's going to be theater.

It is going to be peak cinema.

Rangers, I just hope they give us a

shot.

Maybe they don't make it.

Maybe they miss it by a game.

Maybe they sneak in by a game or

two.

Just make it interesting.

No nosedives.

Just keep us in the fight till the

very end.

That's what I want to see.

Absolutely.

Appreciate all you guys hanging out, man.

We got a good show ahead of you.

We're about 30 minutes in.

Great to be talking about a Rangers win.

Great to be hanging out with all y

'all.

Always more fun to do this after the

I Like Texas music plays.

You know what I mean, Francisco?

Thank you for the gifts, man.

Not needed, but much appreciated, brother.

Thank you so much.

Yeah, look, Rangers lineup tonight.

Some of the big hitters, minus Corey Seager,

a little quiet.

You had Youngster, 0-4, Burger.

I mean, lefty crusher that he is was

0-4.

Langford, 0-4.

You definitely had some guys that were coming

through for the Rangers in big moments.

You had Seager getting the nice little bloop.

Hey, ball in play.

We'll take it.

As I like to say, beautiful things can

happen when you put that dang ball in

play.

But Elias Diaz, I think for me, Diaz

is going to be player of the game

offensively, 1-2, and had the true big

base hit, the double down the left field

line.

Not quite down the line, but the double

the left that really got the Rangers cooking

to nothing.

We give Diaz the player of the game.

Cholo Panda, thank you for the gift.

Not needed, but much appreciated.

Very thankful for all y'all's generosity.

Jon, we're going to get into Gore slightly

later in the show.

Not trying to do that to you, my

guy.

But I mean, look, I'm not going to

tell you anything you don't already know.

Mackenzie your guess is as good as mine

what we get from Mackenzie Gore tomorrow.

More on that later on in the show,

though.

We will do a full preview of tomorrow's

game.

Rick, what's good, brother?

Thanks for hanging out.

Take note of the lineup.

Lefty tomorrow as well, right?

Is it lefty tomorrow too?

I thought I saw that, but I got

to be honest with you guys.

I was swamped.

Bennett, yes, Bennett lefty tomorrow.

Okay, cool.

Swamped at work today.

There was a lot going on.

And man, I usually feel like I do

a little bit more research.

I glanced at the pitching matchups a couple

of days ago on Football Sunday, and they

left my mind for a second.

But I don't mind this lineup at all.

I think that Burger, you know, some people

were kind of questioning, like, why is Burger

up there?

Burger is an elite hitter against lefties.

Like, Burger is elite.

There's no other way for me to describe

it.

He is almost at a thousand OPS against

lefties this year.

Jake Burger definitely deserves to be up in

the lineup in this type of matchup.

Against righties, Burger is a bottom of the

order hitter.

You know, you should be batting Burger seventh,

probably, you know, maybe even considering eighth.

I would be batting Burger in that seven

hole all day long against righties.

And the Rangers have kind of gone that

direction, right?

But against lefties, Burger up at the top,

definitely for that.

I think you have Jung in that three

hole, Burger, Nimmo.

I like it.

I like it a lot.

Foscue up in the leadoff spot.

I gotta be honest.

You know, I know Foscue is definitely hitting

lefties well.

I'm not sure I love Foscue in the

leadoff spot, but he did have a very

good at bat tonight.

And you'll take what you got, I think

nine pitches.

He took Sandoval in the very first frame.

It's impressive.

Bennett, Junior, appreciate the follow.

Thank you so much.

Brennan says Bennett's been getting hit hard lately,

like the matchup against a lot of our

lefty mashers.

Never know with this offense, though.

Brennan, great comment.

YouTube there.

By the way, please feel free to drop

a comment, drop a question postgame now so

I can kind of lock in a little

bit more on the chat.

I've got a bunch more to go through

myself, but man, we'll probably get to it

naturally just going through what all y'all

have to say.

Look, the Rangers lineup, we know can be

hot or cold on any given day.

But Foscue, Burger, even JJ, I think in

recent years, JJ has not been as dominant

against lefties.

But you remember in 2023, even in 2024,

before he got hurt, JJ was mashing against

lefties.

I think he had like a 325 batting

average against lefties in 2023.

Yeah, Joc Pederson, the wrist, the injury update

on that.

I think where we're at is, let's see

if I can get it, small fracture in

left hand.

He hopes the swelling comes down enough to

play again this season, but he's out of

the lineup obviously for tonight.

That was true.

Legitimate late season lineup issue, not just kind

of a one night absence.

So to be determined on Joc Pederson's health.

Austin says, am I the only one who

gets uneasy when the Rangers score all of

their runs in one inning and go quiet

the rest of the night?

100%.

You're not the only one.

I mean, that was one of the things

I was going to bring up, like the

offense did just enough, but you hate seeing

all these zeros.

You hate seeing eight zeros and a crooked

number.

Sometimes that's all you need.

But yes, tacking on, you'd love for the

Rangers to do it.

Weird take here, maybe a hot take.

And I know some people are going to

say, this is just me being a hater.

As I already said earlier, I've stopped worrying

about that.

I can't make everybody happy.

I was just DMing someone back the other

night that was giving me a hard time

about my take on Jacob Junis the other

night, how he hasn't really been as dominant

as he was in the pre all-star

break days.

And I just told that person, I'm like,

man, I'm not going to make everybody happy

every night.

I just can't do it.

It's impossible.

If I'm too easy on the team, somebody's

going to be DMing me saying, dude, why

are you sugarcoating?

And if I'm too hard on the team,

somebody's going to tell me to sugarcoat a

little more.

It's just a no win situation.

So at the end of the day, you

just got to let it rip.

But hot take for me, I think the

Rangers can still make the playoffs and be

successful without Joc Pederson.

I don't see the Joc Pederson loss as

a crazy season over hopes done situation.

And it's for this reason.

I think I need to be consistent here.

It's for this reason that I thought the

Rangers should have traded him.

I don't think the Rangers need Joc Pederson

to win a world series.

I don't think they need Joc Pederson to

make the playoffs.

I think they've got enough left-handed hitters.

Just think about it.

Think about what I was cooking up with

you guys just this last month.

You can have Corey Seager DH, and you

can have Zeke Duran play shortstop.

You can have Brandon Nimmo DH, and you

can have Zeke Duran play right field.

You have flexible options.

You can definitely afford and survive without Joc.

Now, look, a hot Joc Pederson, like Jocktober

mode, of course you want a guy like

that in the lineup.

I can't say that we've been getting that

version of Joc recently.

You look with Joc Pederson at some of

the numbers, and over his last 30 games,

Joc Pederson's batting 169.

Over his last 15 games, Joc ate for

his last 35, does have some home runs

in there, but Joc is not on some

crazy tear over his last month of baseball.

He's just not.

The Rangers, I think, are going to be

able to survive without Joc.

And again, just to bring it full circle,

this is why I said it would be

okay to trade him.

I know some people were like, dude, what?

How?

He's one of our best hitters.

When you're a part-time player that doesn't

really play in the field, to me, you're

a bit expendable.

It would have to be a David Ortiz,

Barry Bond situation for me to say that

a guy that only plays against righties and

really only DHs is a guy that you

just absolutely no way can afford to lose.

Joc, I think, is going to be able,

hopefully, to make it back.

Sounds like he's optimistic, and I hope the

Rangers get him back, and he really does

activate Jocktober.

That's what we need.

We could use a bat like that.

Make no mistake about it.

But I don't feel like Joc being out

really decreases the chances that much.

I would love to have seen what the

odds are for the Rangers to make the

playoffs before the Joc injury and after the

Joc injury.

I would imagine they're pretty similar.

Durant is definitely going to be winning a

utility gold glove.

He might win the platinum glove, man, which

hasn't been done since Adrian Beltre won it.

And Beltre won it, I think, in 2012,

if I'm not mistaken.

So it's been about almost 15 years since

the Rangers had a platinum glove winner.

I would love for Zeke Durant to bring

it back home.

Not sure he's going to get it, but

he surely should be in the running.

Zeke Durant has been incredible anywhere he plays.

And again, because you have Zeke, you naturally

do feel better about Joc being out because

you can afford to put somebody in that

DH spot and have Zeke Durant fill it.

You've got Josh Jung back playing third base.

We all know Josh Jung out in the

field can be a bit adventurous, but I

think for this year, you've got to deal

with it.

You've got to stomach it.

You've got guys that can play second base.

Corey Seager can play shortstop.

You've got flexible options with Ezekiel Durant.

And because you have so much left-handed

pop, Nimmo, you obviously have Seager, and you

have a couple other guys I think that

you could throw in that mix as well.

But nevertheless, I think the Rangers will stay

above water despite the bad news on Joc

Peterson.

All right, we keep rolling.

I don't know what the rules are on

this, Sean.

Somebody asked from YouTube about Walcott.

Will we see him if the Rangers get

close?

I don't think we're going to see Walcott

unless there's an injury to a very key

player.

And in that case, I don't know that

it's going to go very well.

Don't know that that's going to go super

great.

So I think Walcott probably stays down if

it's just me guessing.

I wouldn't complain if he gets the call.

I think I've said that a number of

different times.

Why didn't Burger have his name on his

jersey?

He was doing the, wasn't Burger doing the

Roberto Clemente stuff?

Burger is the Roberto Clemente nominee for the

Rangers, like the Community Service Award.

Just to keep it short and sweet, I'm

sure there's something much more flowery that I

could have read offline.

But I do think that that was the

main reason Burger was wearing the different jersey

today.

Canelo, he's not postseason eligible.

That was my understanding.

I thought you had to be on the

roster by a certain point.

But Canelo, I do think if there's an

injury, you can become postseason eligible.

I think they make an exception for injuries,

but they couldn't naturally call up Sebastian Walcott

anymore.

I do think they make an exception though,

like if you have a DL, an IL

spot, somebody occupies it.

I think that can make a difference.

Keep rolling.

JN says, keeping Walcott off the 40s so

he won't be involved in the strike.

I wonder if that is just a couple

of Rangers beat writers musing or if that's

actually what the front office is doing.

I don't know that I've heard the front

office actually say that they purposely are keeping

him off because of the strike.

I mean, maybe.

I know that was kind of the trendy

thing that was going around a couple of

weeks ago.

But I don't know if CY or the

front office has really said that.

I mean, it's a logical conclusion.

I'm not saying it's like out of left

field, don't get me wrong.

I'm just saying I don't know if that's

really what the front office is trying to

do because the front office hasn't really talked

about it.

At least not that I've seen.

Maybe if you've heard something different, drop me

a quote, send me a link, something like

that.

Is it safe to say that keeping Diaz

and O'Hoppe as the two catchers for

next season?

Omar, good comment here.

Good question from TikTok.

I don't know that this is as cut

and dry as that because of Danny Jansen.

You would have to trade or DFA Danny.

And I really don't think that they're going

to cut Danny Jansen.

I don't even know if there'd be anyone

interested in trading for him.

So it's going to be curious what they

do with the catching situation next year.

Maybe they'll keep O'Hoppe and just roll

with Diaz.

And then, of course, you got Danny again.

Diaz, I'm not sure what he'll command in

free agency.

Diaz is not on a multi-year deal

or anything like that.

So I think you definitely have to consider

maybe they keep O'Hoppe as kind of

a third option.

I don't know that that's going to happen

for sure, but it feels odd to give

up on O'Hoppe.

And it definitely feels weird to not even

try to go out there and keep Elias

Diaz.

Elias Diaz re-signing, unless he is asking

for something crazy, man, I would definitely get

him re-signed to wear some Ranger red,

white, and blue for at least another year

or two.

JN TikTok comment here.

I don't agree with it.

If Walcott can help the big league team

now bring him up.

Yeah, you and I are in lockstep on

that.

I put out a Walcott video probably two

or three weeks ago when they were...

Yeah, it was two weeks ago when they

were doing September call-ups.

And I essentially made the same point.

You can't be worried about next year.

Oh, they might do a strike.

So let's keep him off the 40 man

so he can play minor league ball next

year.

Dude, we kind of see what's happening in

minor league ball.

He's raking.

So I definitely am of that mindset too.

If Walcott can help you now bring him

up, clearly they don't feel like he can

at this point.

So he is where he is, but that

is definitely my mindset as well, JN.

Daddy Mac, why do the Rangers announcers TikTok

comment here say they're one game back of

the division when they know it's two?

Well, I mean, you know that the Rangers

guys, the RSN guys, they have a product

to sell and a lot of them love

the Rangers.

So let's start with that.

Dave, Mike, you know, we, we forgive Dave

for being an Astros announcer, I guess, but

Mike, I believe loves the Rangers.

Jared, I know loves the Rangers, but all

those guys have a product to sell.

I mean, they've got to make things look

as good as possible.

So I'm not shocked that they're, you know,

dressing that one up a little bit.

I mean, it is factually accurate.

The Rangers are one game back in the

division, but yeah, I've said almost every time

we know it's two.

They cannot tie the Astros and make the

playoffs.

This is not the old school days where

you played game 163.

Although like we were talking about the other

night, I wish that they did it.

Game 163 was kind of awesome.

It was awesome.

I would love for them to bring that

back.

Would love it.

Maddox, what's good, man.

Thanks for hanging out.

Appreciate you, bud.

What else we got?

Did Bradford not pitch today to set up

Bradford for rockers start?

Yeah.

It's interesting how they sequence this one.

I think they're trying from, from what I

gathered, I believe they're trying to line up

deGrom for game 162.

I think that is, and if you do

the math, I I'm almost a hundred percent,

that is what's happening.

So Brian, I think it's less about that.

And if you do the math in your

head, five games from now is game 156

and there's an off day in there somewhere.

So I believe everything that they're doing right

now with the pitching is to line up

deGrom for game 162 if needed.

And if you don't need deGrom for

162, let's say the Astros take a massive

dump and the Rangers go on a seven

game winning streak.

Then, you know, you can go ahead and

bench deGrom and you can save the

Grom for game one.

I do think everything they're doing right now

though, is to line up deGrom to

pitch on the last day of the season,

if needed, which you very well may need

with how tight the AL race is right

now.

I don't think they're worried about a whole

lot else.

I think they're very worried about how can

we line up our best pitchers to be

totally locked in for those last couple of

games.

And then, you know, Cal Q, you wonder

if they're lining up Cal Q for 161.

That's probably the way to go, right?

You have 161 Cal Q, you have 162

deGrom.

That to me would be the wise move.

Jared always adds, Sugi says here, comment from

YouTube, Jared Sandler always adds that we're effectively

an extra game behind.

He's off today though.

Yeah, Jared is always pretty upfront.

I love Jared.

You guys know that.

Jared's good people.

I know some people wish that he would

let it rip a little more, but I

mean, look, we're all adults here for the

most part.

I know we got some youngins hanging out

from time to time, but look, Jared works

for RSN, man.

He definitely has some strong opinions, but of

course on TV, you're only going to let

so much go.

You got an employer that you're working for,

and I think Jared, he loves this team.

He understands where this team is not coming

correct, and I think he knows that there's

been some fortuitous bounces this year with the

Rangers in the standings.

Definitely, but yeah, look, these guys, they're doing

the best they can.

It's been tough.

I know some of y'all will tell

me from time to time, man, I don't

know how you do every day, every game.

I don't know how you make content every

day for this team, bro, and I mean,

obviously, nothing but respect meant by it, and

I appreciate it, but throw the respect back

to these guys, man.

I know they're getting paid to do it,

but I mean, look, these guys are having

to show up to the ballpark every day

and cover a wildly inconsistent team.

There have been some clunkers this year.

You know this.

You know this, so I give them credit.

I don't always love everything that I hear

on the RSN broadcast, as you know, but

I do give them credit.

I do have respect for them.

This is not an amazing team to have

to cover for 162.

We love them.

We love this team.

We're going to cheer them on until they

are not in it anymore, but I think

we could all agree over the Rangers' existence,

even the teams that maybe weren't as good

record-wise, there were some more fun teams

to cover than the 2026 team.

I don't even think that's a hot take.

We keep rolling, man.

Thank you to everybody hanging out.

Let's go through some of the things that

maybe we haven't quite touched on yet.

Look, deGrom today.

The deGrom decision, it's really sitting right there.

He's got five innings for you tonight, eight

strikeouts.

It's productive, but four innings for the bullpen.

Bullpen did pick up deGrom, which is outstanding.

If Texas finishes, you know, in a good

spot at the end of the season, I

think, you know, you'll probably look back and

you'll say, hey, look, at least deGrom stayed

healthy and he gave you everything he could.

I do think you just look at deGrom's

inability to get deep into games, and when

it comes to October, you worry a little

bit.

Like, even if this was an October game,

you figured deGrom probably comes out for the

sixth, but he's probably not pitching the seventh.

deGrom, I think, has got to find a

way to be a little bit more efficient.

We need him to be able to be

a seven-inning guy out there, not have

our bullpen back up four innings of deGrom.

Look, if we make it and all goes

well, obviously, this discussion becomes a lot lesser,

but as we build to October, man, do

you need deGrom to be going at least

six frames, seven frames if possible for you.

Let's talk about the Rangers' attack early on.

Patrick Sandoval was gone after two and two

-thirds innings.

Boston's bullpen kept them in the game, honestly.

They shut down Texas.

They had an opportunity, the Rangers did, to

turn this game really into a blowout, and

they couldn't get that one big swing to

really create just a ton of separation.

Four-nothing is obviously a good lead, but

you want to build on that.

You don't want to be satisfied scoring four

in the second and then not scoring again.

deGrom, definitely, he was struggling in that fifth

a little bit, but he locked in for

that last at-bat.

Three and two, nowhere to put him, and

he gets the big strike three.

That was huge.

That was huge.

Comment from TikTok, your question, is Eovaldi only

pitching in the pen or progressing to starting

again?

I've heard mixed things on this, but my

understanding is Eovaldi is going to be in

the pen indefinitely.

Maybe they'll eventually, out of nowhere, be like,

he's starting, and maybe it'll be like a

shortened start or something like that, but I

have not heard that he is progressing to

becoming a starter again.

You guys let me know if you've heard

something different, but I have not heard that

Eovaldi is going to be a starting pitcher

again this year.

I do think Eovaldi is going to be

in middle relief in the pen for now,

but maybe that can change.

Things change sometimes, right?

But I think for now, that is where

they're going to try and keep him.

Let's keep going.

Let's talk Chase Silseth, man.

We have been a little in and out

on Silseth, really have.

Silseth, to me, he definitely has some outings

where he has thrown up zeros, but the

reality is it's rarely, it feels like, the

eye test, it's rarely been clean with Chase

Silseth.

But tonight, he does allow one base runner

to reach, but Silseth gives you a solid

inning, three strikeouts.

He struck out the side.

I think we got to give Silseth some

love.

We've been hard on him when he's loading

the bases and giving up runs and making

things way too interesting.

Let's show him a little bit of love.

He had a really good game tonight, striking

out the side, only allowing one base runner

to reach.

Good for him.

That was big.

If he can be a clutch middle relief

guy for us, that is going to help

so much.

That will help incredibly to bridge it to

the guys at the back end, Latz especially,

throw Junis in the mix.

Robert Garcia appears to be a late inning

arm at this point.

Silseth, definitely one of the pieces out in

the pen that really allowed Texas to preserve

that two run lead and win this ball

game tonight.

Huge.

Now is the time to get hot, Doug

Deuce.

Appreciate all the comments.

It is.

This is all you need is just give

me a little two week stretch, get hot,

get in the playoffs and keep it rolling.

That's really all you need.

You just need a ticket in.

Once you get into the dance, who knows

what could happen?

That's what we've been saying.

And at this point, I think going back

to my original, bringing it all full circle

here.

Meaningful September baseball.

You gotta love it.

Gotta love it.

Latz, we already know.

He is the bullpen right now.

Jacob Latz is.

Robert Garcia gets a little bad luck with

Josh Jung, low throw, Jake Burger, no scoop.

But he goes one and two thirds tonight.

One hit, one walk, three Ks, five out

save, 30 saves on the year.

Rangers would be way out of it without

Jacob Latz.

They would be way out of it.

I 100% don't even want to think

where Texas would be without that guy.

That would be, I think, probably maybe close

to 10 games below 500.

I don't feel like the Rangers are even

snipping 500 without the performance they've gotten from

Jacob Latz this year.

He has been incredible.

Incredible.

Texas, no help from Houston tonight.

No help from Cleveland.

Jeremy Pena homered a couple times.

Yordan, he is back and doing his

thing.

He homered tonight.

Houston beat KC 4-2.

So division margin stays exactly where it started

tonight.

Rangers essentially two games behind.

Weirdest part of the night, Rangers scored all

four runs during the stretch.

We talked about this earlier.

During the stretch where you lost coverage on

RSN.

So no one really got to see the

Rangers four runs being scored.

However, I did post a highlight of it.

Go check it out if you missed it.

Of course, that was the inning where everyone

had trouble watching.

We talked about Joc Pederson, small fracture in

the left hand, hoping to play again this

season.

Alejandro Osuna recalled.

He did have a plate appearance tonight.

He went 0-1 with a strikeout.

Good to see Osuna back always.

Cam Cauley was optioned.

Cauley definitely utilized here and there, but the

Rangers really don't appear to be comfortable giving

him meaningful ABs.

He is a nice gadget guy to have

on the base paths in the field a

little bit, but really continued not to use

Cam Cauley very much.

Maybe the situation just didn't present itself, but

Osuna getting recalled makes sense.

Tomorrow, another 7.05 start time.

Mackenzie Gore on the bump.

Jake Bennett lined up for Boston left hander.

Because Houston won also, tomorrow's one of those

games where maintaining pressure matters.

You have to continue to do some scoreboard

watching, but you've just got to take care

of the team that's right in front of

you.

And to me, that's all you can do

at this point.

Don't get frustrated by what the Strohs are

doing.

It's going to work itself out, man, but

the Rangers keep on stacking games like this.

This was impressive.

A great win against a great team.

You'd love for the offense to have been

a little more dynamic today outside of the

second inning, but they did just enough.

And tomorrow, by the way, Bennett 9-7,

369 ERA.

Gore 8-11 with a 462 ERA, 172

strikeouts.

Just to give you some numbers on some

of the players.

So you have Bennett coming off a couple

of interesting outings here.

So last time out, five and a third,

six earned runs against the Angels.

Angels put up six earned runs on Bennett,

Red Sox probable starter for tomorrow.

Then he shut down Baltimore and New York,

two playoff teams.

So those dang Angels, man.

Angels always causing trouble for people.

So yeah, maybe we're catching him on a

little bit of a downslide right now.

You've got, again, one good start, two good

starts in a row, and then his last

start out kind of bombing against LA.

We'll see what version of Bennett we get.

Say the same thing for our boy Mackenzie

Gore.

Well, we'll see what version we get of

Mackenzie Gore tomorrow.

Gore in his last few starts, let's check

this out.

Four earned runs in four innings against the

Diamondbacks, five earned runs in three innings against

the Rays.

And then you have one earned run in

five and a third.

So back to back, bad starts for Gore,

but you've got a really good start against

the A's, albeit they're one of the worst

teams in baseball.

But nevertheless, Gore at home, we'll see how

he performs looking at the splits.

At one point, Gore at home was a

very sure thing.

At home, he still is better than on

the road.

Mackenzie Gore, 336 ERA at home versus a

579 ERA on the road.

So some of you guys asking me, how

do I think Mackenzie Gore is going to

do?

I do feel like he'll probably pitch a

little bit better at home.

Rangers play better in general at Globe Life

Field.

If this game were on the road, I'd

feel probably a lot differently.

I'm not saying Gore is going to throw

a gem tomorrow, but I do think you

are going to catch him throwing a better

game for sure than what he had the

last two times out.

My goal for him would be six innings,

three earned runs.

Like give me a quality start scraping by

with the quality start.

I don't need seven shutout.

I'd love seven shutout, but we'll see what

happens.

Gore definitely, if there was a time for

him to shine, it is now.

Let's make no mistake about it, dude.

We are in the heat of a playoff

race.

We're one game behind the Astros, a couple

of games behind the Guardians and the Blue

Jays are neck and neck.

If there was ever a time for Mackenzie

Gore to pitch like the guy that we

traded five good prospects for, it is now.

It's now.

Let's keep rolling.

If we make the playoffs, does CY keep

his job?

He's keeping his job either way, Sugi.

Comment from YouTube here.

He's keeping his job either way.

I don't think they're going to fire him

and then pay somebody else.

You guys are, I know, always giving Ray

Davis a little bit of trouble.

I don't think Ray wants to pay CY

for not working and then pay another president

at the same salary to work.

I think that CY will probably write out

the contract one way or the other.

It would have to get pretty bad, I

think, for him to lose his job.

Have to get pretty bad.

No starters listed after tomorrow.

I do think Sonny Gray is listed for

Boston.

I don't believe we had a starter listed

though.

We did not have a starter listed.

Comment from YouTube here.

If Cleveland and or the White Sox lose

enough games and we win enough games, we

could snag the two seed.

Not likely, but still mathematically possible.

Yeah.

We were talking about this on the show

the other night.

You could possibly pass up the AL Central

division leader, whether it's the White Sox or

the Guardians, you could make it happen.

I think that it's not out of the

realm of possibility.

That would put you automatically through the wild

card round hosting a division series.

That would be huge.

That'd be pretty crazy.

The Rangers get the two seed somehow, some

way after everything that's happened this year and

then host a divisional series.

That'd be insane.

Be fun.

I'm here for it, but that would be

wild.

Do we got to face Gray?

Yes, we do.

Yes, we do.

We have to face Gray on Thursday.

Hey, we're going to wrap things up here

in a second.

DG, what's good?

Do I see the Cowboys defense changing?

Oh, no worries, man.

I don't mind doing random Cowboys or Longhorns

questions here or there, even if I'm doing

a Rangers live.

The Cowboys have their work cut out for

them.

I think that I'm concerned at this point.

I think they will make some adjustments for

sure, but Christian Parker, you got to remember

first year for Christian Parker.

It definitely can all come together, but I

am a little bit worried.

I'm going to be real with you.

I've said it on the live on Sunday.

It's possible to play good defense in week

one.

It just is.

I know there's some people saying, dude, week

one, first game.

Come on, man.

It's like there's only 16 left.

We don't have 150 more games ahead of

us here.

Come on now.

I definitely think that the Cowboys have a

bit of an issue on their hands.

I hope they go back, look at the

film and can shore it up.

You've got a pretty similar setup though.

You're going to have to face another mobile

quarterback, Jaden Daniels.

He is a similar skill set to dart.

So this is actually going to be a

good test for Parker, how he makes adjustments

because you're facing a quarterback with a very

similar skill set.

You really are.

Justin, thank you for all the likes.

Appreciate it, man.

Uh, Nate, what's good.

Let's just go on an 11 game winning

streak.

Nate says to end the season done, done,

man.

Uh, that sounds phenomenal.

I'll take one of those.

Please.

I will take one of those.

Uh, Gerald, what's good.

Are the Rangers making the playoffs?

Houston has Casey tomorrow.

Need a win from them.

If you just want like my honest yes

or no, I'm going to say improbably.

Yes, I think they will make it.

I'm not saying it's going to be pretty.

I think they find a way.

I just think with the teams that are

in front of Texas right now, I feel

like not being prisoner of the moment here.

I think this season is just weird enough

that the Rangers will find their way and

they might be like falling face first into

the playoffs.

But you know what?

I just feel like they find a way.

I'm not saying I've got a lot of

like reason, logic, or deep analysis here, but

if I'm betting, I'm just betting on chaos

and chaos would be a team like the

Rangers finding a way.

And that's very baseball.

It just is a team that you totally

haven't been able to trust all year long

for no explicable reason makes it into October.

I think it's going to happen.

I'm not saying that like chest pounding, but

I just have a little bit of a

gut feeling here.

I think Texas gets some more good fortune

and finds a way.

It might be by one game.

It might be by a couple, you know,

call me crazy.

Call me a Homer, you know, sugar coat

and whatever you guys know, I keep it

pretty real, but I think they are going

to sneak in.

I know it doesn't make a lot of

sense based on how they played through 151

games, but I'm going to go out on

a limb here for no other reason than

baseball.

Like that's the way baseball goes.

Sometimes as the great Ron Washington says, can't

explain it, but here we are.

And for me, that would be a beautiful

thing.

The Rangers going on a little run in

October.

That would be phenomenal.

Doesn't mean that you run it back with

everybody next year.

In fact, I think the Rangers should do

a lot of retooling in the off season,

but have some fun.

You might as well go on a little

run, give the fan something to smile about.

And then we can talk what to do

for next year when that time comes, but

let's go win.

Let's go make the playoffs.

Let's go make some noise in the playoffs.

That's the plan.

We're sticking to it.

Let's land this thing.

So tonight told me Texas can still create

offense in one burst to put itself in

position to win, but one inning, it just

can't keep being the whole plan.

I think Texas 1000% has the star

power to put up some good run totals

on a given night, but at the end

of the day, you'd love to see the

Rangers be a little bit more consistent across

all nine innings.

You scored four in the second.

You didn't score again.

You had eight zeros beyond that second inning

total.

Would love to see this offense be a

little bit more consistent across the game, across

the board.

That being said, you see Texas continuing to

find different ways to win.

You didn't need to have a blowout today.

You had good pitching.

You had a good bullpen performance.

And so in that regard, there's some glass

apple for you.

I'm still a little unsure about whether or

not we can get our star players delivering

when we need it most.

I look at Wyatt Langford, Joc Pederson down,

but Joc has been a little bit of

a non-factor over the last month, just

with both the injury and with some of

his struggles.

I'm just wondering if the star players are

going to show up when it matters most.

Tonight, Corey Seager lucks into a little bit

of an RBI there.

You put the ball in play, man.

Good things happen.

But I would love to see the stars

really grab the bull by the horns and

be consistent, reliable figures in this offense.

Next thing I'm watching, Gore tomorrow.

And can Texas finally start stacking wins, putting

together a little win streak?

You got three in a row.

We'll knock on wood.

How about five or six, man?

Let's get over that five threshold.

That to me is what this team has

been missing for most of the last month,

that one run of games where you make

up a lot of ground quickly.

We will see what happens.

We'll be back tomorrow in the eighth or

ninth inning, hopefully ready to talk about the

Rangers' fourth victory in a row.

That is the plan.

Well, it's been a great show.

It's been a good Tuesday.

Thank you for hanging out.

I hope I see you again tomorrow.

But if not, always know we put out

every single show on YouTube, on Facebook, and

we also drop the audio, every major podcasting

app that you can think of.

If your podcasting app doesn't have right on

Rangers, please send me a DM, let me

know, and I'll try and get it on

there.

I've really tried to make sure the show

is on everything that anybody would potentially listen

to.

So if you ever miss a show, you

know what to do.

And with that being said, I'm signing off

for the night.

Have a good one.

Have a good Wednesday tomorrow.

And as I always say to end every

show, God bless and go Rangers.
