## Resource

The Texas Rangers are clinging to playoff hopes despite a brutal trend: they’re leaving bases loaded with alarming frequency, batting just .208 in those high-leverage moments with zero homers and only two extra-base hits in 53 at-bats. They’re tied for sixth-worst in RBI chances and one of just six teams without a bases-loaded homer, yet they’ve won nine of their last 12 games, keeping them alive in both the division and wild card race. It’s a baffling paradox — how can a team this competitive still thrive while failing to cash in when it matters most? While other contenders like the Brewers and Giants are hitting well in those spots, none are dominating their divisions — suggesting that success isn’t just about scoring with the bases loaded, but about the bigger picture as the season unfolds.
