Game 192 - New York Yankees at Texas Rangers

July 27 at Global Life Park in Arlington in Arlington, TX
Fox Sports Southwest

Let me quickly get one thing out of the way - Global Life Park in Arlington in Arlington, Texas?

No.

I'm not going to call it that. I'm calling the stadium the Rangers play in The Stadium The Texas Rangers Play In (In Arlington).

Couple other thoughts from New York's 6-2 victory:

1. The Texas announcers talked about Robinson Chirinos' four-game hitting streak. There is no such thing as a four-game hitting streak. You just got a hit in four consecutive games; that's one long series, or one three-game series and then you singled in the first game of the next series. I think a player has to get to about eight games before we start talking about "streaks".

2. Yankees' catcher Brian McCann, a former Atlanta Brave, came up to the plate in the sixth and eighth innings and you could hear Braves Tomahawk chants from somewhere in the stands. The last place I expected not only Braves fans, but Brian McCann fans? Arlington, Texas. Second-to-last place? Atlanta.
