Suck it Houston!

OUCH!!!
We haven't finished with a winning record since 2016. We'll take small victories when we can get them.
Obviously it's early in the season and injuries can play a part in things also but the vibe around the Rangers just feels different this year.

We played this series without Seager. He's out for a month with a hamstring injury. He was off to a great start.

Astros’ Jose Abreu at first instead of Yuli Gurriel mattered last night. Abreu has already put a dent in the Astros’ defensive stats.
7 of the 9 Rangers’ runs were unearned, sheesh. And the second earned run was the homer for a grand slam after two outs which would not have happened without the first error losing an out. That first error was a throwing error on Pena but the throw to first was online to Abreu and he didn’t handle the one-hopper. So I count that on Abreu, and the postgame analysis pointed that out too.
Abreu then had a fielding error which cost the final three unearned runs. So an example of the difference of having Abreu at first versus Gurriel. Gurriel probably gathers both those balls and the score might have been 1-1 instead of 9-1 after nine innings. DEFENSE and pitching wins World Series. Abreu‘s former White Sox were known for poor defense. Abreu knows the comparison and I hope it does not get in his head and make things worse.

We've lost 196 games the last 2 seasons. We'll take what we can get at this point. Babysteps.

rangers are definitely better, were the better team for the series, and astros are sorting a few things out

Astros will be the best team in MLB once altuve and Brantley return. I don't think it's a debate. Maybe san Diego, or NYC. Tampa is hot but it's early

Retiring the numbers of legendary players—
As a Twins and Harmon Killebrew fan, I would like to see a current Twins player wearing Harmon Killebrew’s number 3 as a reminder of Harmon. Seems that would be honoring the greats more, as a visual on the field. You would still have his number raised, posted and celebrated on the stadium as it is, with his name underneath that number of the legend. #3 is a great number, more so because of Harmon, and I want to see it again on the Twins’ field of play--it would put a smile on my face thinking of Killebrew in his day.
The entire league wears number 42 for Jackie Robinson day and it’s good to see. Why not see it more often by allowing players to use it on the field as a reminder of Jackie.
