ANAHEIM, Calif. - If there is any hope for the Rangers this season to be anything more than just another rebuilding team waiting for the draft and the trade deadline, it lies with a mostly pitching staff rebounding from injuries and overachieving.
Only 10 games into the season, the Rangers are already in a perilous spot where that is concerned.
After Sunday’s 7-2 loss to Los Angeles, just consider these points:
-- There is one inning’s difference between between the workloads of the starting rotation (44) and the bullpen (43) through 10 games. To say that is unsustainable is a bit of an understatement.
