The MLB app shows the Rangers barely missing the playoffs this season and even though there are still a lot of games left to play before that’s our ultimate fate, I’d be surprised if we snuck in at this point. 

Even if we manage to make it in there’s very little chance of going too far because we just can’t win close games. And it’s the Orioles year. 

So basically as great as this season has been, it’s a bust. The bullpen is just too weak. 

All that said, though, I love the fact we are now a serious contender for the division and if we can avoid the injury bug next year we should be a favorite to win the division, especially if we can shore up the bullpen in the offseason. 

Been a really fun year and it’s cool to have some solid years to look forward to. 

Go, Rangers!
