The Texas Rangers still are not officially out of playoff contention, but being over five games behind in the wild card with 12 games remaining, the Rangers are likely playing for pride now. As said before whether it’s for pride or not, there’s never an excuse to not put an effort to win.
3-7 in their last ten is not good in any way shape or form. After an embarrassing series at home against the Mariners, Texas was hoping to come into Anaheim to make up for it, but it didn’t happen. For now, all Texas can do is accept their series loss and move on.
