2025 Texas Rangers Recap: Opening Weekend

I had an epiphany in game two, that the first week of baseball feels weirdly like the postseason, in that sometimes the guys you expect to do the big things aren’t always the ones that do the big things. The last two seasons, my dad and I started doing “firsts” predictions. Guessing which Ranger will be the first to get a hit, RBI, homerun, strikeout, single, double, etc.

Would you be surprised to know that Adolis Garcia was the first Ranger to get a stolen base this year and last year? In both 2024 and 2025, I thought he would be the first to get a strikeout, and yet both years it was Marcus Semien.
