ARLINGTON, Texas – Admirably, a group of fans wearing matching shirts near the left field foul pole started a, “Let’s go Rangers,” chant in the top of the eighth inning on Wednesday. The rest of the crowd showed little interest in joining in and the chant quickly ran out of steam.
It’s understandable, considering Oakland rookie Shea Langeliers – a former star at Keller High School and Baylor – had just hit a two-run home run, turning Wednesday’s game into what would be a lopsided, 7-2 loss for the Rangers.
“I believe the game of baseball is filled with moments every game,” interim manager Tony Beasley said. “It presents moments and we have to recognize those moments … and take advantage of them. I don’t think we’ve done that.”
