Sorry We Missed You: Arizona Diamondbacks: The first in a survey of forgettable .500 teams3. Sorry We Missed You: Texas Rangers: Okay, the AL has a lot of forgettable .500 teams, but we’ve talked about most of the rest.4. Around the Horn: Injuries, relatable and not5. Craig doesn’t get mad about the game, not at all.
