The 2023 season isn’t even two weeks old.
Try 10 days and three series.
The Rangers played their ninth game of the season Sunday, when they avoided three-game sweep at Wrigley Field with an 8-2 win over the Cubs.
So, yeah, it’s way too early to make any definitive judgments about the Rangers.
Only a fool would do such a thing.
If you had written this last year, everything would have been under the “Not Looking Good” section. Good read, Jeff!
Solid takes. My impressions based on what I wanted to see,
a. Seager’s defense much improved, I had a real concern last year. He’s not playing as guarded as last year.
b. Love Bochy’s use of Josh Smith. I wouldn’t have gone this way. And I would have been wrong.
c. Rotation? Check.
d. Bullpen? Check
e. Catcher’s not warmed up yet. Not worried, they’ll be there.
d. Garcia becoming a tough AB.
