Summary
The Texas Rangers are in freefall, plagued by catastrophic first-inning collapses that have cost them 15 games and left them with the worst first-inning ERA in MLB. Facing a nine-to-zero first-inning deficit over three games against the Twins, the team’s pitching staff is being haunted not by mechanics but by mental demons — and their offense is going silent when it matters most. With a brutal 9-31 record when opponents score first and Corey Seager sidelined, the Rangers are clinging to belief despite the numbers. Players like Jake Burger insist panic isn’t in the room — but can a four-run deficit in the first inning really be overcome? The season’s turning point may hinge on whether this team can stop playing from behind before it’s too late. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
