The Rangers only lasted a single game in the playoffs and Ron Washington is blaming himself for last week's Wild Card loss to the Orioles.

"I could have looked at not having all my regulars play as many games as they played," Washington said. "I think if I could have changed that, and got them some opportunity to get more rest, they'd be much fresher as we went down the stretch. It could have been a difference. I question myself for that."

Texas is coming off back-to-back World Series appearances.

They lost 10 of their last 14 overall, including a sweep at Oakland to end the regular season before losing Friday to Baltimore in the first win-or-go-home AL wild-card card.
