Quantrill Delivers, Rangers Fall Below .500
Cal Quantrill gave Texas five innings of one-run ball, Corey Seager supplied a single, double and home run, and the Rangers still lost 5-2 to the Angels to fall below .500.
Austin digs into another frustrating Anaheim loss, the bullpen swing after Quantrill left and an offense that again created almost no margin for error. The conversation also gets into Chris Young’s deadline, Skip Schumaker’s decision-making, Joc Pederson leading off, Jarred Kelenic vs. Alejandro Osuna, Wyatt Langford’s slide, Logan O’Hoppe’s service-time situation and whether the Rangers are stuck in baseball purgatory.
