Somebody should check what the Texas Rangers have been eating, lately. Wednesday, they beat the Baltimore Orioles 30-3. No team has scored that many runs, in one game, in the majors since 1897. That was the year that the Chicago Colts (now Cubs) edged the Louisville Colonels 36-7.
This was the first game of a doubleheader. The second game went to the Rangers, 9-7. Texas' 39 runs in a twin bill is an American league record. I should point out that the record, held by Chicago, took place during the "dead ball" era, when home runs were rare.
The Texas Rangers batting coach should renegotiate next season's contract - NOW!
The Orioles pitching coach should be practicing the phrase, "Do you want fries with that?"
