The Rangers welcome the Blue Jays to Arlington for the first time since last October
We've already seen what plans the Rangers had for Jose Bautista a couple of weeks ago in Toronto. After a winter-long discussion about retribution by way of a fastball to the ribs for a perceived bat flip slight last October, the Rangers elected to instead just get Bautista out a whole bunch.
Even though the Blue Jays won the war -- going 3-1 against Texas in the series at Rogers Centre -- the Rangers won the battle against Bautista as they held him to 1-15 with three walks and just two RBIs.
