Must W

 Must Wins

    In my previous blogs, I have talked about my love for the Texas Rangers. I talked about how the recent struggles of the Rangers have been anything but unnoticeable. They are on a ten-game losing streak and barely hanging around for a place at the wild card spot. Losing key players to injury has been a real killer for this team's record. But what if I told you they aren't done yet. 

    After a losing streak of ten games, the Rangers were on a quick decline out of the playoffs. With key players getting injured and numerous blown save changes, this team looked like they were done for good. Despite just recently losing Max Scherzer for the season, the Rangers somehow found a way to climb into a playoff spot and into the AL West division race. They are a half-a-game back from the Houston Astros and tied in second with the Seattle Mariners. 

    With this division being so tight, the Rangers will have to win some crucial games to win the division and make the postseason. Rangers currently have ten games left to clinch a playoff spot. Not only are they limited on time, but they also are facing the Mariners in seven out of ten games in this final stretch. This will be huge for the Rangers to play their best ball right now. And a series win over the Red Sox is only a positive heading into this gauntlet of a final season. 

    If I am honest, the Rangers will make the postseason. That said, I think we won't win the division against the Astros just because their schedule is significantly weaker than the Rangers and Mariners. Only time will tell, and I can't wait to see what these final ten games have in store. 

    Do you have a favorite MLB team? If so, are they fighting or in the playoffs this season. As always,

Finals Burnout

 Finals Burnout      Wow, this semester has really flown by. It feels like we were writing our first blog post just yesterday, and now we're penning our last. This class has been a rewarding experience overall. Sure, there were stressful moments, but that's part and parcel of any course. I gained valuable insights about social media, such as how to manage different social media, and identified improvement areas.      At this point, I only have a few write and assignments to complete. One aspect of this class I particularly appreciated was its schedule. Not having to attend this class on Tuesdays and Thursdays proved a boon, allowing me to focus on other coursework. This was especially helpful during weeks like last when we wrapped up our presentation and only had this blog post and an AP Quiz to tackle more papers .      I recommend this class to others interested in social media. Knowing what to do and what not to do is precious informa...

Rangers Collapse

 Rangers Collapse      The Texas Rangers this season have been one of the better teams in the Major Leagues. The Rangers started off the season with fifty-two wins and thirty-nine losses. They lead their division over the Houston Astros and Seattle Mariners by a couple of games. The Rangers finally made it to the all-star break, and it was a nice break, giving our players some days off and rest. After the all-star break, the Rangers have posted a twenty-four and twenty-three record since. What happened to them? Let's take a deep dive into this.      The Rangers were not sellers (trade away some of your better players with big contracts for draft picks or younger players) by any means. The Rangers were buyers and traded for relievers Chris Stratton and Aroldis Chapman and starting pitchers Max Scherzer and Jordan Montgomery. And acquiring Austin Hedges for catching experience. Everyone around the MLB believed the Rangers would be dangerous in the second...
