Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Nick Lodolo plied his trade in college at Texas Christian University, which is not in Dallas, Texas - but it’s close.
The Texas Rangers ply their trade at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, which is not Dallas, Texas - but it’s close.
Though TCU and the Rangers home field are separated by only 19 or so miles in suburban Dallas, this segue seems as if it has drawn on for ten times that length. Anyway, Lodolo and the Reds will play host to the Rangers this evening in Cincinnati, which is not Dallas, and isn’t close.
