At least we got some runs in.
Eovaldi stinker
That ended up being a lot of fun
i at least respect that this team fought to come back at the very end. it’s a good sign that a team can be clutch like this. just hate we started so slow
I appreciate the comeback attempt when normally they’d roll over and die
We take Saturday 😤
Why was Duran subbed in for Smith? Seemed like a head scratcher move.
Boys put up a fight at the end. Just need more consistency with hits. Hoping it’s just opening day jitters. I’m not too upset with this loss.
Houston is about to be shut out, at their home base.

Super excited for opening day tomorrow!! deGrom on the mound and baseball will be back woooo!!!
Opening Day is my favorite day. I love baseball. New season. We’re so back. So happy.
Amaze amaze amaze

Liked the fight at the end. Just need to steal one from this series.
We’ll get em next time
Unfortunately, starting a fake comeback attempt against lower leverage pitchers that gets snuffed out by higher leverage ones has been a defining trait of the post-2023 Texas Rangers.
It’s only game 1/162, but I ultimately see this team straddling the middle (within 5 games above or below .500), purgatory in professional sports.
Hey, at least they made a game of it at the end. And I don’t expect Evo to have too many starts similar to that.
I understand the mentality of not wanting to use challenges early on to blow them but it doesn’t make sense when you never actually use the challenges later
162-0 would’ve been too unbelievable. Had to give the league one
Eh bummer but Sanchez is a dawg and Evo pitched good outside of 2 bad pitches and got punished. Nice to see some fight at the end and hopefully we can build on it
I AM FINISHED WITH THIS TEAM!! They have a lot to turn around if they want to catch up to LA in the standings!! (I will also be irrationally excited after every win)
Our offense still needs work. Especially against lefties.
Could’ve won that game had the Bohm home run stayed in play.
Eovaldi got rocked, but the bullpen kept everything down, which is nice.
Nice rally at the end. Offense looked good against everyone but their starter.
We saw some good things today, fam.
We will get em tomorrow!
Looks like that at least they don’t give up. We had glimpses of a good team here.
Happy for Baumler and a good comeback effort
Jake Burger MVP book it
Astros lose. Good enough
Oh well, still a fun game. I like how Skip managed this one. Gave Baumler a zero leverage spot to get his feet wet, aggressively pursued matchups with the bottom of the order.
Not mad one bit, team showed some fight in the end and Sanchez is very good, looking forward to Saturday
Tough game but we take the next two. Baseball is back.

161-1 it is then.
Gotta leave the first one on the table for humility.
LGR
I am fond of you Kyle Higashioka
We suck.
Not the best scenario people but also not the worst. Thank goodness it wasn’t 0-5.
On to the next one. I liked the fight at the end.
Today is the 2nd day that I can say I have the same batting average as Joc Pederson.
Hopefully better against a righty 😂

Not gonna get upset about this one cause Sanchez is a dawg. Glad to see some late inning fight. Two hits from Seager and a Burger bomb make me happy.
I’m not gonna panic yet, but if we lose Saturday, I might.
Sanchez led the league in pitcher WAR last season. Evo pitched great tonight except for 2 mistakes. Offense didn’t give up and gave us a real shot at the end. Heads up baserunning kept us alive and ultimately led to our 8-hole hitter getting an inherited run in on one of the best closers in the game.
Ultimately didn’t shake out our way, but I see this as a great game
