Previous and busted: a collection with the Minnesota Twins.

New hotness: a collection with the Texas Rangers.

We’ve made it to Half 2 of the Red Sox and Rangers this yr. Boston, after all, started the season in opposition to the Rangers and after successful Opening Day day didn’t do a lot for a number of days. And as Texas involves city now the Crimson Sox sit at 18-18 (the mirror picture of 81-81) whereas the Rangers are at 17-18.

Whereas Boston has been in a little bit of a bullpen-related rough patch with 5 one-run losses of their final ten video games, issues haven’t even been that good for the Rangers.

The Rangers have 9 losses on the season the place the offense put up zero or one runs. For perspective, Boston has 5 such losses.

Texas has scored greater than 5 runs on simply six events. The Sox have finished so eleven instances.

It’s early Could and the group has fired its offensive coordinator (yeah you’re learn that one proper; I didn’t combine up my sports activities).

They changed him with Bret Boone.

Boone, who put up one monster yr in his profession in 2001 and the continued for 2 extra years as he performed out his age 32, 33, and 34 seasons earlier than crumbling into literal mud and being launched by the Seattle Mariners. Proprietor of José Canseco’s Showtime Automobile Wash, José Canseco, pointed the PED finger at Boone though he has denied any improper conduct. If the batting gloves don’t match you could acquit or one thing.

A non-comprehensive checklist of different groups to fireplace their hitting coaches to this point this yr: the Colorado Rockies.

Anyway, good luck on the market, Bret.
