Broadcasting.

Keep an eye on Jared Sandler.

With RSN being owned by the Rangers, it really plays in their favor to have a "total" game experience. I've mentioned, Jared joined the radio broadcast in like 2017 and Nadel and Hicks really took to him. They have a great relationship

Jared has spent time on The Fan 105.3 and Bascic was there and they seemed to have always interacted well.

Jared has done pre and post game coverage.

I really like having Jared host Nadel/Hicks and then Raymond/Bascic. Jared really handles them as a "glue guy" and brings them in. It is in the Rangers best interest to maintain fan coverage and elevate the broadcast teams.

I'm not a big Raymond fan and I think Sandler is the future. He seems to be really well prepared and has a high aptitude for recall. Most importantly, he connects well with the other broadcasters and fans, alike.

Nadel retires at some point. He really seemed to be laboring with breathing on Monday.

So glad Brock Burke is now an Angels problem, he's still a gas can

ESPN baseball coverage is a joke anymore. The one highlight they showed of the game today was De La Cruz's sliding foul ball catch and then his stat line. No mention of Leiter or Josh Smith's ridiculous catch.

Just like NHL when they dumped them previously, they will show next to no baseball coverage going forward. Last night I watched one of the spanish stations for whip around coverage and it was awesome.

Damn.. When was the last time the Angels were looking down on the Stros in the division?

Probably the beginning of last season . If I remember right they got off to a bad start. I just don't see it this year for Houston. Too many holes in that line up. Not near as deep as they have been in the past.

Sandler and Bacsik would be awesome on the game call. Something about Raymond rubs me the wrong way, and I don't think him and Mike mesh very well.

Starting pitching, this far, is really encouraging. Cautiously optimistic.

The Yankees look pedestrian with their I've League bats.

30k's in their last 2 Gs ... both Ls... they are now 3-2.

It will be interesting to see how much buzz remains.

30 ks in 54 Outs

To be fair, they had to go against Burnes and Gallen.

Imagine if Rocker and Mahle get their stuff going decently.

I have faith that Rocker will figure it out. He's too talented a guy and too driven, but it may take an extended stint at AAA this season (maybe not too). But i'm one foot out the door on Mahle. I just do not see it with him. Hope to be wrong though.

Even if Mahle can get to #3 in the rotation type stuff it would be huge. Agreed on Rocker. He is learning. I think we will see it click somewhere around his 5th start. Much after that he may need a trip down to AAA

Every homerun from the 2023 Post Season will get you through 15 minutes by itself.

If Langford has a really good first half of the season (till the All-Star break), I'd love for the Rangers to start negotiating an extension with him. I am a big fan of locking up your guys you truly believe in early.

This is already in the works

I would hope so. Not sure it's in Langford's best interests though.

Latest example is the Jackson Merrill signing in San Diego. 9 years at $135 MM, or $15 MM per year. That would be a bargain if he continues to perform.

I think Merrill needed the money and couldn't afford to wait. Not sure Langford is in that situation.

The flip side of that is the player gets severely injured or hits a wall in his development.

These things are designed to be win/win's for both sides. The player signs the big contract and has financial security and the team tries to lock in a price at today's value for a guy they want to keep for a long time.

A guy on the Twins hit a triple and I'm almost positive he and his teammates in the dugout did the antlers... Cease and desist immediately...
