This week on Swing Baddder, we unveil the latest MLB "Badder Five" — the five worst-performing teams in baseball! The Rockies hit a shocking 9-50 record with a brutal -39 run differential. Oakland continues its nosedive with a third straight week on the list. The Angels, despite a recent win streak, stumble hard. Chicago's White Sox clock in for the fifth time, and even the Phillies, fresh off a hot streak, slide into the bottom five.

We dive into the stats, the trends, and what these performances mean for each franchise. Who's sinking fast? Who might bounce back? And will the Rockies ever leave the bottom?

We also analyze run differentials, pitching woes, potential playoff implications, and how teams are trending heading into June. It's a must-watch for die-hard baseball fans, stat nerds, and anyone tracking the rise and fall of MLB teams week-to-week!

In this episode of SwingBadder, Brendan flies solo while Aidan focuses on finals. The spotlight is on a nightmare week for the Texas Rangers — swept by the Yankees, nearly swept by the White Sox, and officially landing on the Badder Five list, the dreaded ranking of the worst-performing teams of the week.

With Cory Seager still sidelined and the offense ranked among MLB’s bottom five, Brendan breaks down the Rangers’ alarming decline, the missed opportunities despite solid pitching, and the growing concern among fans. Is there any hope of a turnaround, or is this who the Rangers are now?
