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?

Catch all the updates, venting, and raw insights — and stay tuned for Aidan’s analysis later this week. Don’t forget to subscribe for more MLB coverage and check out the Badder Five list at Battersports.com.
