Battle For Surprise 2019 Game Thread: Rangers “at” Royals

Well. Here we go. Beginning today through the next seven or so months, you can expect Texas Rangers action in some form or another practically every day for three or more (Manfred be damned) hours.

Buckle the heck in.

Today’s first Cactus League game features the Rangers as the road team in their own facility as they take on their Surprise Stadium roommates from Kansas City.

Ariel Jurado will take the mound as the first Rangers hurler to see action in 2019 and he will apparently face a Mega Man Robot Master named Glenn Sparkman.

You can listen to the game on your radio at 105.3 The Fan or via MLB At Bat on your computer or mobile device. First pitch is scheduled for 2:05 pm CT.

Here’s a lineup:

Go Rangers! (feels good to type that again)
