There are on average about 26 weeks in a baseball season. The Rangers didn’t win any games in the latest one. Today’s loss was their seventh in a row as they went from the prospect of going up ten games above .500 in an extra innings game against New York last Sunday to now just two games above .500 with six games remaining.

The vestiges of what we expected this club to be dragged themselves out to the field and produced three runs on eight hits, a ninth inning rally dying with the tying and winning runs in scoring position. Jack Leiter’s positive rookie season finished its home slate with a loss on eight hits and four runs in 5.2 innings.

Scott Littlefield, who spent the last 16 seasons of a 34-year career with the Rangers, was found dead in his Houston hotel room Friday.
