CHICAGO – The Rangers officially welcomed Bruce Bochy to his mission Saturday. For the six months since they started recruiting him to turn the franchise...
“We’ve been playing so well,” Bochy said. “I’d hate to think we’d have a game like this when we’ve been playing so well. But it got a little sloppy. We’ve got to wash it off and show we can be resilient.”
In the second, Marcus Semien bobbled a ball and Jonah Heim threw high on a stolen base attempt. In the sixth, Seager threw wide of second on a force play attempt. And in the eighth, after the game was out of hand, a throw back to second fromgot away, allowing the final run of the day to score. The day was appropriately bookended by errors contributing to Cubs’ runs.
But wait, there’s more, as Dan Akroyd used to say in his best attempted Chicago-ese. The Rangers outfield has been something of a patchwork over the first eight games withand neophyte platoon utility men Josh Smith and Ezequiel Duran only capable of playing left at this point. Taveras was to play his third rehab game with Double-A Frisco on Saturday evening.
The Rangers’ alignment has been designed to give them the best offensive lineup to start the game. With a lead, though, they can move Travis Jankowski or Bubba Thompson into center and García back to right. The last two days in windy Wrigley, García has also struggled. He had a run-scoring double glance off his glove on Friday, then was short on a dive Saturday.
