66-67 – Rangers can’t climb over .500 after first inning from hell

In the top of the first inning, Wyatt Langford popped a ball straight up for what should have been an easy third out but due to poor communication from the White Sox infield, the ball dropped and the Rangers had their first base runner.

You could argue that Langford had time to end up on second base had he been sprinting but he settled for a single on the mistake. One batter later, Brandon Nimmo roped a ball down the line for a double. You would assume that, with two outs, Langford would be chugging around the bases to attempt to score.

However, Langford seemed to think the ball was either fielded by the Chicago first baseman or deflected closer to the infield or something because he just stopped at second base with third base coach Corey Ragsdale screaming at him to get moving.
