After keeping a steady pace all season, “it’s a sprint now,” says Texas Manager Bruce Bochy.
But at the same time, they are just 2½ games ahead of the Toronto Blue Jays for the final wild-card spot in the American League. Though they dealt for Aroldis Chapman this summer and added versatile Chris Stratton at the deadline, their bullpen continues to struggle. Veterans Chapman and Will Smith looked strong earlier this season, so they may do so again. But they might not.Similarly, the Mariners probably cannot go 21-6 again in September. But they might.
Here, again, the Rangers can feel good by comparison. And they did show signs of life as they took two of three from the Mets in New York. The biggest jolt came Monday night when the Rangers entered the ninth inning trailing for the 48th time this season.Bochy said later he knew his team had yet to come back in any of those games. Young said he was well aware of that stat, too.
“Now, we’ve done this. We know we can do it. And we can do it again,” Bochy said. He and his Rangers soon will have a clearer picture of how this season really went. They have 30 games left to get the lighting right where they want it.
