In 2023, the Texas Rangers rode their wave of momentum and turned it into the club’s first World Series title after defeating the Arizona Diamondbacks. However, this season has proven to be a bit more of a challenge.
Jordan Shusterman joins MLB.com Rangers beat reporter Kennedi Landry as she examines where things have gone wrong for baseball’s defending champions, plus talk about Josh Smith’s case to make the American League All-Star team and whether rookie Wyatt Langford He has taken a course towards the best after his injury at the beginning of the season.
Also on this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jordan and Kennedi make their picks for this week’s The Good, The Bad and The Uggla, which includes a batter saving Shohei Ohtani from a foul ball, a rather unfortunate play at the plate involving the Oakland Athletics and the New York Yankees who are in a really rough patch currently. They then preview the weekend’s slate of games, which includes a whopping six opportunities.
