Offensive funk? Check. Struggling stars? Check. Just plain bad luck? A lot of that, too, as the flummoxing Rangers were swept by the lowly Rockies.

Texas Rangers' Adolis García reacts after popping out against Colorado Rockies relief pitcher Tyler Kinley to end the top of the eighth inning of a baseball game Sunday, May 12, 2024, in Denver. DENVER — They greeted him warmly at Elway’s. Even though it had been six years since Bruce Bochy’s last visit, they remembered exactly how he likes a martini and what kind of bourbon he prefers. In the clubhouse at Coors Field, they prepared him the “best bacon in the league.”.

And against left-handed pitching, to go back to the No. 1 issue, the difference is even more stark. Against lefties, the Rangers cadre of left fielders have gone 9 for 48 with one homer and a .526 OPS. “We’re still a top offense in the game,” said Semien, too often left to be the spokesman when the offense struggles. “We can’t look at the negativity from this series and let it affect us. We had chances and just didn’t come through. We need to figure out how to win these games when we aren’t hitting. We need to defend better, pitch better, run the bases better. When we’re not mashing, we still have to win games.”A year ago, the Rangers went through funks, too.

, Rangers beat writer/insider. Evan has covered the Rangers since 1997. He has twice been named one of the top 10 beat writers in the country by the AP Sports Editors. His passions outside of covering baseball are his wife, Gina, his two step kids, two crazy dogs & barbecue. Let's not discuss the cat. Evan graduated from Georgia State University, but oddly is a Georgia fan.
