Joe Ryan pitches 6 shutout innings. Bullpen immediately gives up 2 runs in the 7th. Weak ass offense manages 1 run in the 8th. Lose 2-1.

Gonna be a long year.

Christopher Sanchez might be the best pitcher in baseball now that Skenes sucks.

Too soon, asshole.

Holy shit, that was a tremendous rendition of God Bless America. And, 99% of the hats in the stands came off for it. Very nice to see.

Holy crap, it's been 23 years since the Rangers won an opening day game. Wow.

I'm pretty sure they've beaten the Phillies on opening day more recently than that.

Maybe he said opening day road game.

I just looked it up and the rangers won on opening day the past two seasons.

How the hell does a major league catcher whiff on a routine pop-up? I've barely seen that before.

Even on road games, Grok says it has only been 15 years, which is freaking bad enough. Not sure where Nadel got 23 years.

I would have rather won, obviously, but I at least got to watch baseball today.

@Rev Are we gonna suck this year? Is it just one of those years where the owners go cheap and write off a year?

Evan Grant has us going 86-76 and making the playoffs as a wild card. Rev will probably say we are going to go 0-162.

At least we made a good game of it.

0-162

Honestly I dont know. I dont have high hopes at all but some say they are going to be pretty good. For the first 8 innings the offense was blah and reminded me of last year. I dont think the pitching will be as good so I guess it depends on having monster years from Seager, Langford, and Nimmo. Others just need to do what they have averaged in the past to be better than last year.

Im predicting 3rd in the AL behind Seattle and Oakland or whomever they are now. So the 4 team division should be Seattle, Oakland, Texas, and LA. Thats how the West should finish.
