Good morning.<\/p>\n

Shawn McFarland has observations<\/a> on the Texas Rangers who followed up the highs of opening week with a downturn upon entering The Shed.<\/p>\n

Kennedi Landry writes that the takeaway<\/a> from Sunday\u2019s latest impotent loss at home was that Jack Leiter is good.<\/p>\n

McFarland writes<\/a> that Joc Peterson\u2019s first hit of the season with a game-tying home run after he was loudly booed in his previous at-bat.<\/p>\n

Jeff Wilson writes that despite the big home run, the Rangers need more<\/a> than one hit in 17 at-bats from Pederson.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re just three games into the home slate and McFarland writes that being unable to score runs at home is already the story<\/a> for Texas again at The Shed.<\/p>\n

Wilson writes<\/a> that opening the roof on Sunday didn\u2019t do the Rangers any favors as wind swirling inside the park likely contributed to the loss.<\/p>\n

And, Landry\u2019s newsletter covers Jake Burger\u2019s new spooky contacts<\/a> which the Texas first baseman hasn\u2019t debuted in a game yet.<\/p>\n
