00:00Usually I'm excited when we talk about the Texas Rangers, but it's tough today.

00:21It's been tough for a while.

00:24The Rangers lose the series to the Red Sox.

00:26Now I thought a lot about what you said, Mike, in terms of going into the series, the

00:32Red Sox were giving up between six and seven runs a game.

00:35Yeah, and they did that in the first two.

00:37And so the Rangers got outscored 22 to 15.

00:40So they still average five runs a game, but that's still off of the most recent average

00:46that Boston had been giving up.

00:47So even going up against a team that had been struggling mightily pitching wise, you still

00:52have a game where you get shut down and it ended up being the decisive game in the series.

00:58Yeah, it's disappointing.

01:01It's frustrating.

01:03Obviously, starting tonight, this Astros series, if you get swept it, I hate saying this.

01:12I really do.

01:13I get there'd still be 50 games left and you'd only be eight and a half back of Houston at

01:18that point.

01:20If this thing ends up being September, it was like fourth, fifth, and sixth last year

01:24where you lose 33 to eight or whatever, it might've been like 33 to three.

01:28It was horrible.

01:30That was when we were like, oh no, we are finished.

01:33And they still won the world series.

01:34But if you get swept in this one, I feel like at that point we can just stop the hope and

01:41we're just playing out the season at that point.

01:44Now, I don't think they're going to get swept, but they could.

01:48Houston obviously scored zero runs yesterday, I believe.

01:51I think they lost one zero.

01:52I'm not a hundred percent sure.

01:53I think they lost to Tampa one zero, but you're getting to the point now where you're just

01:58like, well, when are you guys going?

02:01You scored six in a blowout game.

02:03You got blown out and then you scored seven and you're like, okay, can you take that game?

02:08I know it's a brand new game, brand new pitchers.

02:10It starts off zero, zero.

02:12You get up quickly two to zero.

02:13You have your best pitcher on the mound.

02:14You are going to be in trouble the seventh, eighth and ninth inning, because I don't know

02:18who was available to pitch for you yesterday in those innings.

02:23But if you're like, okay, uh, I keep saying, we keep saying, you keep saying, but at some

02:31point if you don't get close to even getting back to 500, maybe Houston and Seattle stink.

02:38And maybe they, neither one of those teams will go on streaks.

02:40If they go on any type of streak in like a 12 game stretch and go nine and three, it's

02:46over.
