The Texas Rangers just wrapped up a rollercoaster week — two wins over the Yankees, then a meltdown against the Phillies. Aidan and the crew break down the struggles with runners in scoring position, the elite pitching that’s being wasted, and why August might be the make-or-break month before a brutal September schedule.

We talk Diamondbacks, Blue Jays, and how the Rangers can (and must) stack wins now before facing the Astros, Brewers, Mets, and more in the season’s final weeks. Is this a playoff team or a 2024 cautionary tale in wasted potential?

The SwingBadder crew is back with another Badder Five breakdown — the five worst-performing MLB teams this week, and some legendary-level disasters.

From the Colorado Rockies’ mind-boggling -330 run differential to the New York Mets’ ice-cold collapse, we’re looking at teams who can’t buy a win, no matter how much they spend. We break down why the Brewers’ insane hot streak might be peaking too early, why the Mariners could be in trouble despite winning, and why the AL Wild Card race is shaping up to be the tightest in years.

Plus:

⚾ Rockies’ ninth-inning implosions and fielding blunders

⚾ Mets’ bullpen nightmares and lineup confusion

⚾ Marlins’ collapse after Braves beatdown

⚾ White Sox and Orioles joining the bad list again

⚾ AL & NL playoff races — who’s real and who’s just lucky?

The BadderSports team — Brendan, Peter Lemieux, and Todd — give their brutally honest, stat-backed takes with plenty of laughs along the way.

Welcome to another jam-packed episode of SwingBadder, where we dive into the week’s worst MLB performances in the Badder5! The Nationals continue to spiral, the Rangers hit the rare Badder5 “cycle,” and the Mets prove yet again that they can’t have nice things — even after a $500 lobster roll binge.

We break down:

• The Brewers’ historic 56-hit week and the “Milwaukee Massacre” of Washington

• The Rays’ freefall and what their July collapse means

• Why the Mets’ midseason slump is déjà vu all over again

• The Rangers’ identity crisis and road woes

• The Blue Jays crashing back to Earth after a hot July

• Full July Badder5 recap — with surprise appearances by the Braves, Cardinals, and Giants

And of course, we end with predictions for next week’s worst. Will the Yankees crumble? Can the Reds prove us wrong?
