In 2023, the Texas Rangers capitalized on their momentum and made it the club’s first-ever World Series title after defeating the Arizona Diamondbacks. This season, however, has proven to be a bit more challenging.
Jordan Shusterman is joined by MLB.com Rangers game reporter Kennedi Landry as they investigate what went wrong for baseball’s reigning champions. They also discuss whether Josh Smith is eligible for a spot on the American League All-Star Game roster and whether rookie Wyatt Langford has improved after his injury earlier this season.
Also in this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jordan and Kennedi pick their picks for this week’s The Good, The Bad, and The Uggla, in which a bat boy saves Shohei Ohtani from a foul ball, a rather unfortunate play in a time when the Oakland Athletics and New York Yankees are currently in dire straits. They then preview the weekend’s lineup with a whopping six possibilities.
