Might this be the nadir for the 2023 Texas Rangers? The lowest point in their fortunes, where they have hit the bottom?
We have to hope so. After spending most of 2023 in first place in the American League West, with a comfortable margin in the playoff race for a Wild Card spot, Texas today finds itself two games out in the West, and a half-game out of the final Wild Card berth.
If the season ended today, the Rangers would not be a playoff team.
After everything that has happened this season, at this point, to fall short of the playoffs would be a massive disappointment.
