Texas Rangers

In October, the Texas Rangers went from the best record in the AL to a series sweep by the hands of the Toronto Blue Jays. The Rangers looked like they couldn’t be beat with a stellar pitching staff and a lineup that could put up runs in a hurry.

Sadly, it didn’t last with the Rangers falling in the first round of the playoffs. This was a very up and down year for the baseball team, but hopes are high that they will be back and ready to compete next year.

Although the Rangers were not able to execute in the playoffs, they have many returning starters and will undoubtedly have a great team again in the coming year. We can all look forward to Texas Rangers baseball in the years to come.

Keep watch on Adrian Beltre, Rougned Odor, Cole Hamels, and Yu Darvish when the season begins.
