The Texas Rangers made a big mistake forsaking their fellow Texans, fans, and their counter parts the Houston Astros by refusing to swap with the Astros a scheduled series in Houston and moving the series to Arlington this week because of Hurricane Harvey. This is something that should have been done out of courtesy, Texas is in need of something right now they won’t forget what is happening but bringing this series between the two teams would have meant a lot to a lot of baseball fans in Texas.

The Rangers and the Astros aren’t going to be in the playoffs and the Astros have pretty much have sewn it up in the AL West. It would have been great to have had this series going and the Rangers should have swapped and kept the game in Texas and it would have meant so much for the fans in Arlington and in Houston as well. So I disagree that having this series after Harvey would have been inappropriate it would have done Texas some good to have played the games in the Dallas-Forth area.
