The Rangers are, apparently, not only saving Jacob deGrom for the playoffs, but they’re also saving their runs for the playoffs.

In typical Rangers’ fashion, they come off a dominating three-game sweep with a thud. The fire the offense displayed against Cleveland was extinguished against Los Angeles. Texas was shutout for the twelfth time this year, losing 4-0. 

And suddenly, any momentum, any flickering hope is gone. The Rangers will frustrate you to no end. Well, to be accurate, there is an end. 

Twenty-nine more of these face slaps.
