So many Texas Rangers games have been like the one we witnessed tonight that you’d think I’d have just accepted that this is how it’s going to be by now.
That sentence reads like the start of a Post Game Thread where I glumly begin the tale of a Rangers loss. However, they did not do that tonight and, because of that, they have now — inexplicably — won more games than they have lost during the 2020 season with nearly a third of the schedule in the books.
Remarkable.
The reason for the tormented writing is hoo boy the Rangers played another slovenly game of baseball and it almost feels like they dragged their Rocky Mountain opponents with them to Grubbyville and strangled the will to perform out of them like an alligator rasslin’ the life out of his next meal in the shallows until the bubbles stop.
