ARLINGTON -- Jon Daniels seemed woefully ill-prepared Tuesday afternoon.
He was, after all, coming to wrap up all that went wrong with the Rangers in 2018 and had just a single piece of paper in his hand. The pitching staff? There is a whole power point presentation in that alone.
Let's not even get to strikeouts; the Rangers seem to have perverted the whole stat. The batters strike out all the time while the pitchers strike out virtually nobody at all. You don't need advanced analytics to dissect that one in today's all-or-nothing game.
For a couple of moments, he praised the young players who either arrived in the major leagues or seemed to come of age.
