Rangers Need to Take Ground on Six-Game Road Trip
Texas got help Monday without playing, and now the Rangers have six road games to prove they can do something with it.
Texas enters the trip 1.5 games out of the final Wild Card but just 31-41 away from Globe Life. Austin breaks down what 3-3, 4-2 and 5-1 would actually mean, why Seattle is the part of the trip the Rangers need to cash in on, and which current players and pitching roles give Texas its best chance right now.
The conversation also gets into Justin Foscue’s recent push, MacKenzie Gore’s October trust level, Nathan Eovaldi and Jack Leiter as possible bullpen pieces, and why losing the Seattle series would put Texas in a terrible spot before Arizona.
