“Even when Marcus Semien has a good day at the plate he still finds a way to f**k it up on defense” - Texas Rangers fans are appalled after Marcus Semien costs his team a run with a lousy error

Marcus Semien hasn't settled in very well with the Texas Rangers this season. He signed a massive seven-year contract worth $175 million with the team in the offseason, but hasn't even batted over .200 this year.Over 230 plate appearances, Semien is hitting a pitiful .196 with a .257 on-base percentage and .292 slugging average. Compare that to his 45 home runs and .873 on-base, plus slugging percentage, last season, and the drop-off becomes obvious. Despite those horrendous statistics, Semien is beginning to turn things around at the plate. He's hit four home runs and recorded 10 RBIs in his last 10 games.But his progression in the batter's box seems to be detracting from his defense. During the seventh inning in today's game between the Texas Rangers and the Cleveland Guardians, Semien botched a routine ground-ball play and cost his team a run. Cleveland went on to win the game 6-3, leaving Rangers fans furious at Semien.Evan Grant@Evan_P_GrantA costly blunder by Marcus Semien. Charges bouncer, bobbles it &amp; then doesn't notice that Mercado never stopped at third until it is too late to make good throw home. It's 6-3. But this inning should be over. Lowe couldn't pick a 2-out throw from Ibáñez144A costly blunder by Marcus Semien.
