Profar with the first Ranger base hit of the spring! Adjust your spreadsheets accordingly to reflect his status as an untradeable phenom.

Sadzeck picking up where he left off last year in Frisco...

Kris Bryant: walk
Anthony Rizzo: 2 run HR
Wilson Contreras: solo HR

13 PC
4 ST
2 HRs

He got 4 Strikes... 2 went for HRs.

Maybe this was just one of those "I'm getting work in" outings.

Is he even in North America? Somebody call Kinsler to find out.

Nitkowski's loud mouth got him caught up in some twitter drama. Apparently he "liked" a tweet from some so called white supremecy group, the "Proud Boys".

I guess people freaked out on twitter and bombarded him and the Rangers asking for him to be replaced. He didn't back down, as usual, and now his Twitter is completely empty.

Is that hand thing a symbol for white power? In the context of that account I guess so, but I used to do that in like middle school with my friends and if you looked at it and it was below someone's waist they got to punch you in the arm.

I can't see anything on his twitter, but it wouldn't me surprise if someone he follows retweeted that particular picture, he saw on his timeline so he clicked on it, and then liked it. All without even noticing what account was tweeting.

Yep. This was something I did as a kid. Now it's resurfacing as a meme

I like CJ alright in the booth but good Lord he's a ****** on twitter. Someone at FSSW needs to tell him tone it way the hell back or delete it. If you're a public figure and you don't have thick enough skin to ignore trolls then you need to avoid social media altogether.

Wow. Still only 36 years old, if he could actually be healthy and sane.

I REALLY think that Gallo could be a very good outfielder, and he reminds me a lot of Hamilton. There just aren't that many big guys who can run like that. Dave Winfield comes to mind. Maybe Hamilton could help Gallo learn the outfield.

Anyway, 1st base isn't a hobby. It's a huge plus when you have someone who can actually play defense, scoop a ball, defend the line, throw it across the diamond. Running? Not so important - that's why I'd hate to waste Gallo at first.

Was the attendance drastically lower than all the other schools? (which I think is unlikely) A professional org should be above petty college rivalries, especially if it makes some of their fan base feel like they aren't valued. I believe the Dallas Stars aren't having an a&m night either.

Conspiracy theory time, it's the Rangers affiliation with FoxSW who is with the Big12...something there?

The health comment is fair game, but I don't think that drug addicts are "insane," just people dealing with a horrible disease. Hamilton is one of those people.

Additionally, I think Gallo compares to Hamilton in terms of power ability, but Hamilton hit .359 his MVP year. If Gallo ever did that he would hit about 110 home runs. Hamilton is also a career .290 hitter. I don't think Gallo will ever hit for that kind of average.

No. They've had the highest attendance of all the schools over the last several years. What I've heard is A&M is doing some restructuring in their branding that doesn't allow them to do it this year? Maybe a logo change? Something along those lines? But they will be back on board for the 2019 season.

FWIW, they aren't doing the A&M night with the Mavs either

Sane = "in his right mind." Any other dictionary definitions I can provide in order to avoid a lecture?

Removing the Bevel?

It sounds more like a cost restructuring, in terms of licensing charges, than logo. What are we going to do... replace Ole Sarge with a Chief Osceola

Don't tell Keith Law. He will try to insult your intelligence on Twitter if you say anything that disagrees with his opinion of Rougie being a "sunk cost".

Clearly a made-up stat. Odor has never seen 5 pitches in an at-bat.
