It’s a new era for Texas Rangers baseball, in case the transition hasn’t been more than apparent based upon the team’s less than stellar 23-38 record through 61 games played.
23-38, you say? That number looks awfully familiar. If it does, it’s because the Rangers finished 22-38 during the 60-game, pandemic-shortened 2020 season. In total, the 2021 incarnation of this team has improved one game over last year’s crew.
