Who had the Texas Rangers in second place behind the Seattle Mariners eight games into the season? Not me. Listen, I don’t want to hear about small sample sizes and run differentials. The Rangers are above .500 for the first time since 2017, and not only that, they’re fun to watch.
The season is only a week old and there’s already plenty to talk about. Some of it I’ll get into here. Some of it I want to think about a little longer before I discuss it because it might come off as a flaming hot take. Anyway, I think it’s safe to say this isn’t going to be the boring season everyone thought it might be.
