The first half of the season for the Texas Rangers came to an end Sunday, even though they have played way more than half of their 2018 schedule.
They lost 6-5 to the Baltimore Orioles in game No. 97, one shy of the club record set 1974. For those who don’t have a calculator handy, the portion of the season before the All-Star break this year covered60 percent of the 162-game campaign.
Is new math still a thing?
The number that matters most to Rangers players is 41, the amount of wins they accumulated. The glaring 22 games out doesn’t really matter, as the Rangers are too far out to contend in the American League West.
