After everything you have given Rangers fans, we wish you the best, Eric. ***** TODAY’S GAME: Oakland vs Texas, 8:05
Shohei Ohtani versus Mike Trout. Could there be a more epic matchup? With the game on the line, Team Japan leading Team USA 3-2 with two outs in the ninth inning, the dream matchup of all time materialized. The best hitter in baseball facing the best player in baseball for […]
He came. He pitched. He didn’t fall apart.
