This is the Rangers. They just cannot get any kind of  sustained winning going. Cannot make headway. Cannot take advantage of a starter with an ERA over 7.00. Cannot take advantage of an excellent seven-inning start by Cody Bradford. Cannot get the hit they need with runners in scoring position and less than two-outs. Cannot take advantage of another leadoff homer from Joc Pederson. Cannot gain a game on Houston who also lost. They just cannot gain traction.

This is the team that just cannot.
