It occurred to me last night, as I watched the last couple innings of another impact Rangers win, that I wouldn’t write today.
For the last couple weeks I’ve written about walkoff wins and no-hit bids and majestic multi-home run games and jaw-dropping debut bombs and an awesome sacrifice bunt.
Thing is: This is just a good baseball team.
I could invoke the names of Len Barker and Scott Chiamparino and Derek Holland and Edwin Correa this morning in a thousand-word essay on Chi Chi Gonzalez going 9-3-0-0-2-2 against the defending AL champs, in their park, and how, given yesterday’s report, there’s something cool enough about the fact that Gonzalez was teeing it up against Edinson Volquez that I might have pushed two thousand words.
