Anyone who’s watched the Texas Rangers play baseball in 2021 knows this team is not very good, but yet somehow better than we thought.
The above statement may sound contradictory, but it’s true. The Rangers did just win a road series in Oakland for the first time since 2016, for example.
Many players on this team have way overperformed their expected production levels, while others have fallen disappointingly short, and combined, these elements have given the 2021 Texas Rangers an intriguing touch to them, despite the 32-49 record through 81 games.
