We all agree that the Rangers are not good in 2018. That’s a fact that we have to live with every night as we watch our team stumble to defeat more often than not. However, think about this:
After tonight, the Rangers are 39-49. Their Thursday night opponents, the Detroit Tigers, are 38-51.
The Tigers are worse than the Rangers and find themselves in second place in their division. Even first place Cleveland is just 11 games over .500 at 48-37. For reference, the far-and-away-third-place-in-the-AL West Oakland A’s are 48-39.
The American League Central is just embarrassingly, historically bad this year.
