Maz with 99 RBI now, Martin showed some promise the last couple of months, Calhoun with 3 hits......at least we've got a few things going for us.

On Sept. 8, the Rangers defeated the New York Yankees to go to 71-69 for the season and 2 1/2 games out of the second wild card spot in the American League. The Rangers had won 18 of their previous 28 games.

And then the bottom fell out. The Rangers are 6-14 since the win against the Yankees. The Rangers have been outscored by 64 runs in that span.

And I'm not sure what the reason is for that, either.

FYI, I was watching the TOR-NYY game this afternoon and sure enough, they found a way to shoehorn the 2015 ALDS into the telecast. Immediately turned it off.

Speed obviously is not the issue. Routes and arm strength are the concerns. Do think routes can improve. Martin improved over time. It so sure arm strength improves much though some say Trout's arm has.

So DeShields has to be an option next year especially with us so short in SP

Hoying is playing RF today instead of CF. obviously the Rangers are considering DeShields for the spot next year
