Was yesterday the end of the Rangers' playoff hopes?

KRLD-FM / 105.3 The Fan

The Rangers lost the Silver Boot Series for the 8th consecutive year, and their loss to Houston yesterday dropped them to 54-61 on the season. With their only series win since the All-Star Break being against the horrible White Sox, was yesterday's loss the final nail in the coffin to the Rangers' playoff hopes?

00:00And so you lose the silver boot and I get it people might be like I don't really give

00:19a crap about the silver boot fair enough but I do you okay also fair boots are cool but

00:26the bigger issue is that you lose the tie break with the Astros and that's far more

00:33important that's your only real Avenue winning the division is your only real Avenue is absolutely

00:38unless you go on a stunning opposite of the White Sox ask winning streak that is I agree

00:45with that a million percent and so I said going into the game yesterday not only would

00:50you lose this series you would lose the tie break but you still haven't been anyone in

00:55the series besides the White Sox in forever and yes I think yesterday was the end of the

01:02Rangers playoff dreams what say you got your quitter I mean that's what it shows me you

01:07don't have the heart and the stomach to actually survive this thing so I definitely have the

01:11stuff you don't have the guts for it the this is what's weird to me Kevin we're still somehow

01:19only five and a half games back right how in the F did we just lose two out of three

01:28and we're still only five and a half games back and we're five games back Seattle right

01:33now so like you're still you still have striking distance you're within striking distance you're

01:39close enough to not quit and as long as the guys in the clubhouse don't quit on themselves

01:44like that could be the moment Kevin yesterday where playing and losing that way could be

01:50the moment where you go that's it guys we just don't have it this yeah or it could be

01:55the moment that makes you go F that we're turning this thing around right now everybody

02:00here's what maybe there's a maybe we need a Corey Seager to stand up in that locker

02:04room and say I've been watching all y'all swing and look I know I go out there and I

02:08swing at everything but you guys aren't as good as me all right y'all aren't as talented

02:13you're not as gifted as I am you know not every one of you can go up to the plate and

02:18hit bombs like me but give us a respectable at bat give yourself that go up there and

02:25give yourself the opportunity to have a competitive at bat against each pitcher you give yourself

02:30you give the team a chance that's that's what somebody in that clubhouse has to be that

02:36voice if they want to make a run if they don't want to and they're just like look man it's

02:41baseball we'll finish it up and we'll hope for next year then that's a thing but next

02:46year guess what's going to happen money's going to be gone players are going to be gone

02:50and you're going to have less talent on this roster than you have this year so this might

02:54be that last chance for you to go out there and make something happen so Kevin that's

03:00where I am in storyline reality is five and a half games back you have a chance but yesterday

03:06was a back up was a a definite punch in the side of the bow ha that were that where you

03:14thought that was going to go with another cliche okay it was definitely knock down one

03:20of a TKO okay all right so it was definitely I think that's as good as we're gonna get
