The roller coasters that are Rocker and Leiter. So much potential between the 2. Just gotta find consistency

Beeks basically threw 2 strikes in 14 pitches. Very lucky that Muncy kept chasing there

Langford finally gets a hit. Maybe that will get him off the struggle bus.

sborz didn't get the call, and today was the day he could opt out to see if there is interest elsewhere.

More OPS/new stadium weirdness. Before 2020, the Rangers hadn't had a sub-.700 OPS since 1988. Each season in the new stadium has been sub-.700 except for 2023 in which it was .790.

Just a perfect storm of a new golden age of pitching, moving into a cave, and roster-building issues.

He is just the next A's player that absolutely owns the Rangers. That list is long and distinguished for decades.

An interesting video that popped up on my YT feed this AM. I don't necessarily agree with how he determines a five-tool player with a composite score of five factors. I think a five tool player should be above 50 in all five tool categories. Skip to the 16:25 mark to see number 1 from 2025, if you don'twant to watch all of it. It is relevant to this thread and I was surprised.

Click bait title: Number 1 will shock you!!

I know I overreacted last night and I apologize

I'm not surprised by the above video. But it also makes it even more frustrating to see we have the supposed top 5 tool guy and he's struggling this much at the plate. You expect guys like Wyatt to break out of funks quicker than others, it's just not seeming that way right now for whatever reason.

Maybe just chalk it up to being dinged up and having to compensate, and that is messing with his approach at the plate. I don't know.

I'll be better about my emotion

Afternoon baseball today, Rangers need a win for a series split. Lets see if Leiter can overcome this news:

He looks out of sync at the plate. But who knows. He could probably use a day off, but not today as he is in the lineup against the LHP.

Sorry if already addressed and I missed it. But are you doing a "code" again this year? No worries if not, but we'll be in for a game or two this Summer sometime, thought I'd check in before I look online. Might be a few weeks before I figure out what games will work.

You're all good. We're all fans. Fan is short for fanatic, and fanatics say some irrational stuff in the heat of the game. Heck this sight is built on fans some dumbs*** during games lol. It leads to discussion.

This wasn't directed at you. Just that we've been having the Langford discussion lately.

I think he's just a slow starter. He started slow his rookie year and I think he started slow last year, if I remember right.

I think we're all frustrated by the fact that it already feels like same sh!z different year.

Only 1 out of the last 9 season have we had a winning record and we went on a miracle run to a World Series Title. Just tough in that winning for us, is not often or sustained.

Thanks! We all appreciate it. I will put it to use once we figure out some plans.

Following on the MLB app today and it appears Jack's velocity is slightly down?
