That all it took for the Rangers to figure out how to ride was to bring in the dude-ist-bro I might have ever seen?
Now, hit on the baby oil, get a nice tan in, grab your gold chains, scrub a few sleeves, and get that biceps shredded baby, because the Derek Dietrich Rangers are 1-0 and score seven runs per game as Texas a full comeback win after kicking off 4-0 in the sixth inning.
With the win, believe it or not, the Rangers are a win away from being back .500 and they have now won consecutive series.
Thanks, AL West!
Player of the game: Dietrich collected two singles, a double, reached through an HBP, stole a base, and scored two runs in his Texas debut. That felt like a breath of that fresh air after a lightning strike that had been missing the mist for weeks.
Next: The off-days for the Rangers will continue into the first third of the season, as Texas will take Thursday before opening a series in Colorado against the Rockies on Friday night with Lance Lynn set to make the call in the opener get.
