A fan hit out at Semien and his team:?
Looks like everyone on the Rangers is not engaged. Coaches should have caught it, teammates might have said something, definitely Marcus should have known. This team is a mess.

It was an unusual scene at an MLB game. Players are usually tense with their team’s on-field performances. However, Semien seemed totally unperturbed on Tuesday. His actions made up a topic for gossip among the baseball community.?
The road ahead for the two teams?
Both the Rangers and the Athletics already got eliminated from further qualification. The Rangers are at third rank whereas the Athletics are last in the American League West zone. So the end of the regular season will pull down the curtains on their respective campaigns. But both teams will still try to win as many games as possible from the remaining ones.?
