I'll be interested to see how attendance and viewership holds if the losses really start to pile up early. I wonder how many fans are in the same boat as my wife - she is not used to this. She didn't get on board as a Rangers fan until the run to the 2010 World Series. Since then she has been a semi-fanatical follower of the Rangers. We watch or listen to at least part of all 162 every year and have been to Spring training a couple of times. I am trying to prepare her for a multi-year stretch of bad baseball and no post season appearances. (I've been a fan since I moved here in 1984 so I know what that's like)

Glad the first series is over. It was tough, the Astros line up is loaded with RH bats. I thought the starting rotation did better that expected. The defense was sloppy at times and it cost em. Especially Matt Moore. Fister looked solid and so did Minor. Defense has to be better to give these guys a chance. But bottom line is Elvis and Beltre cant carry this club. Other guys are going to have to step up. 7-8-9 holes went 2-38 I believe. That's unreal bad.
I hate West Coast games but lets go Big Sexy

I'm hoping for a return to that weirdness soon, rather than a long spell of "normal" again. I fully expect 2018 to be a very normal year. Hopefully I'm wrong. But, if not, let's hope some changes are made that will make 2019 a weird year.

Those are the kinds of plays that I LOVE about this game.
I couldn’t hang for the whole game and turned in early. Our bats suck but Big Sexy sure did his job with 6 full innings and only 1 earned run.

I really want to know who is responsible for coaching the outfield defense. There was a near catastrophe last night when Ryan Rua didn't take charge of a foul ball. Nearly had a three man wipe out involving Rua, Beltre', and Andrus. I've said it for awhile now, it's a question of time before there is a serious injury in the outfield because none of the outfielders ever control the outfield. What a mess.
