With the Texas Rangers honoring Josh Hamilton tonight, a game in a season that doesn’t matter much felt like it mattered even less as the telecast was peppered with highlights from better times to make for a nostalgic feeling (Hamilton stopping to hug Nelson Cruz might be the closest we ever get to 2011 closure) for a time that is most definitely gone but very long from forgotten.
Nevertheless, the show of 2019 Texas Rangers baseball had to go on and in the actual game, the Rangers trailed 6-0 before they even got to step to the plate as the Twins scored six runs off Ariel Jurado before he collected a third out.
