It'd be a huge statement if they let Higgy get the OD start.

I think Heim will be OD starting catcher.

You may be right, and in that case you might just go:

Semien
Seager
Langford
Jung
Garcia
Pederson
Burger
Heim
Taveras

So at least you don't have Joc hitting cleanup against another lefty, but still have him in there.

Here's my dream opening day lineup:

DH - Nick Solack
LF - Willie Calhoun
2B - Rougned Odor
CF - Joey Gallo
1B - Jared Walsh
3B - Brock Holt
RF - Nomar Mazara
C - Jeff Mathis
SS - Isiah Kiner-Falefa

SP - Taylor Hearn


We could lose all 162 games with this lineup!

So you have something against Benji Gil or Nelson Norman at SS in your lineup? IKF was at least serviceable during his time in Texas.

Highly doubt you'll find RV parking on secondary market. You could look into purchasing RV parking for the exhibition game for tomorrow, then just leave it over night. There would be some extra charges for that.

I doubt it happens, but it wouldn't shock me if Higgy gets the nod. He's had a great spring

Seager has some sort of calf tightness, and even though it sounds extremely minor, I wonder if they give Smith the nod as SS for the next few games just to be safe.

Random thought of the day: with recent struggles I wonder if Jace's draft stock drops enough to where the Rangers could snag him.

Would have to hit a sweet spot of "stock trends down, but not too far down" for us to also want to pull the trigger. But he seems to fit the college hitter profile that CY and co. tend to like.

Pipe dream but not unrealistic would be incredibly fun.
Tksymm7

He's definitely not performing to a top 3 players in the draft status, but I think he's pretty comfortably a top 10 pick still. The sample size is just too great for him to drop significantly, and he's legitimately a five tool player at a premium position.
Dwb22

I'd agree and I also expect him to pick it up soon. But fun to dream and think there's a relatively decent chance given all the pitching talent this year.

Maybe we can convince Jace to pull a Laremy Tunsil in June

We're at 12, so it's not impossible considering the year going on now, but it's a long shot.

Higgy was such an underrated offseason signing.

Him just spelling Heim twice a week is worth it enough, but he's a good player.

Before the season starts in earnest, I just wanted to get this off my chest so I can be done with it.

I hate....hate hate hate...loathe actually....the city connect uniforms. They look like hammered feces. And not just the Rangers', all of them suck.

OK, back to your regular scheduled programming.

Good news... they are about to reissue new ones.

The fact that the red jerseys got axed because there could only be four(?) jerseys per team and the city connects had to be one makes me hate the city connects even more than I would typically hate the city connects.

The fact that Nike was permitted to dictate that to the whole league and then completely botched the new uniforms pisses me off more.

I like that the league is trying to be fun and get younger, they are too far off the deep end imo.

I'm a fan of the city connects. Kids love swag now a days and the city connects get them that much more invested in the game and a lot learn a piece of the teams history because of them.

I don't understand marketing at all but why would Nike only let each club have four jersey combos? I'd think the more the merrier.

The new additions both homered in their home debut

Holy homers. Four homers last night. I think Taveras is going to be your CF 2/3s of the time until further notice. He's really worked on his swing this offseason and it shows in the results. Hitting with way more juice, and that's exactly what we need from him. I don't care that he bats .240, as long as he leaves the yard more often and is driving gaps with this hits.

I didn't know it was possible to have such perfect weather for a baseball game in Arlington, TX. Looking forward to getting back there in a few weeks for a real game.

We've got awful air quality here in Houston today, and it's supposed to rain cats and dogs Thurs-Saturday, which is really disappointing with the Houston Open being this weekend with such a good lineup of players.

Every guy I've seen under 30 wearing Rangers gear is wearing the City Connect.

And when we get new ones next year, I hope we preserve the Peagle. That is the best thing about them.

I do like the peagle. That's very cool and the story behind it is even better.
gigem1223

Pretty sure I heard them say on the broadcast last night that the peagle is going away.

Mr. Gigem are you going to do the honors of kicking the season thread off again?

This is the last season. Next year will be a new City Connect uni.
