Tom Gores' Securus faced a class action lawsuit in 2024. The company engaged in a "quid pro quo kickback scheme" with county jails in Michigan which banned in-person visits in order to maximize revenue from voice and video calls.

8 double-digit strikeout games in the last nine... 9 strikeouts in that other one.

Team batting average - .215 (Chirinos and Andrus the only ones hitting above .243)

4 for 36 with runners in scoring position in their last 6 losses...

0 for 8 pinch hitting...

Hell - when they do score runs, the bullpen yaks them right back.

The Rangers are terrible right now and it shows no signs of correcting itself.
