It's not usually a week-ish between posts for me, but I'll probably be getting used to that these coming months. I'm working on a few posts that ought to be posted soon (I'll try to get one out within a week), and as an endeavor not to go too long without posting, here comes the recap from Opening Day. Buckle up boys, this was not a fun one.
I listened to almost the entire game on the radio as my Rangers took on Matt from Diamond Jester's Red Sox.
It was a really good game; it was 2-2 until the ninth inning. Though the score was low, both teams had their fair share of hits. Kyle Higashioka made me particularly happy. Wilyer Abreu, on the other hand, did not.
I don't have a lot of nice things to say about Luke Jackson. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against the man -- he just has no business playing a closer role for the Rangers. Chris Martin's getting gypped. And, unfortunately, Luke Jackson gave up a three-run home run -- to no other than Wilyer Abreu. Man, he's a good hitter.
It's been a minute since the Rangers lost an Opening Day game, and this isn't the prettiest way to start a season. Of course, there are 161 games to go.
Well Matt, we'll just need to settle with winning the series.
Ouch… that really felt like we should’ve re-signed Yates but ofc that’s just one game into the season and that’s what happens if you put Luke Jackson in to man the ninth. Excited to see Chris Martin get a run for his money at the closer spot
ReplyDeleteI also listened to the game through the MLB app, and it was nail biter. If it makes you feel any better, I picked up Jackson in two of my fantasy leagues as a speculative save add, so it wasn't a perfect game for me! ;)
ReplyDeleteDon't have a preference between the Rangers and Red Sox... but I'll definitely be rooting for Higgy this year.
