Today on Shan & RJ, we broke down yesterday's Opening Day game between the Rangers and Red Sox. Despite a tough 5-2 loss, starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi had a strong start to the season, tying a franchise record with nine strikeouts and inducing 17 swings and misses. We discussed how important he is to the team and highlighted the offensive struggles, with the Rangers only managing two runs. We also joked about Kevin Pillar’s beard and touched on Elvis Andrus letting him wear number one. Beyond the beard banter, we dove into the offense's issues and the need for the Rangers to step up, especially with uncertainty in the bullpen.
