The DMNews provides zero. You get a few pages to view per month, but by the time you view any article, your views are consumed. I refuse to pay for the DMNews.

Their coverage is terrible and they bloviate too much. I don't want to read 15,000 words to find the one sentence of meaningful information.

I found this aggregator during the offseason... I'm mixed on it, but I like the intent.

Is "The Athletic" where Newberg went? The only reason I hit Newberg's site is to get to Lucas' minor league reports.

Hamate? The small bone on your pinky side that can unfortunately get injured with batting. I think Stanton had the same injury at one point.

Sucks because now we lose a CF and leadoff batter.

He's a .254 career leadoff hitter....

Ehh

I feel the same way about him as I do Billy Kennedy...works hard...plays hard...seems like a nice guy but he's not very good

Yes. Probably because he and Stanton swing with the same veracity.

If that makes you feel better, okay. But he was our starting day #1 hitter for a reason. If we had someone better to lead off, then he wouldn't have been. It will be a downgrade at best to have him out.

I got the free trial last week. I've liked the coverage so far. Not just click bait with no information.

Tocci making his Rangers debut!

Defensive upgrade at the least. Solid hitter as well. Excited to see what the kid can bring.

Have they announced who gets the call to replace DD while he's out?

**NVM just saw they called up Gardewine.

Kind of excited to see what Moore can do this season if he can get back to his ways before going to the Giants he's going to be pretty good!

Gallo's official Exit Velocity was 115.7.

Puts him 3rd for the season.

I've never seen a ball hit to CF that low go that far. Occassionally you may see a pulled liner off of the LF or RF wall like that. But I have never seen one hit to CF that way.

You'll get more excited about what he was doing after you see his replacement

Game 3 of the season, and for the record, Mazara is still a club-footed plodder who has no business in a major league outfield.

Middling SP and bad defense is a good combo, right?

Don't forget Odors lack of discipline, just about everywhere, on the baseball field.
He looks worse with every at bat.

It truly is remarkable. At 22 years old, he's essentially David Ortiz. Let's just hope he can start hitting for power like Ortiz.

Andrus leading off >>>>> DeShields leading off
At least he's getting more ABs

Matt Moore to me actually doesnt look too bad

No, but he looks good against the bottom 3 in the Rangers AAA lineup.

Down 6-1 nobody on the left side and a runner on 1st with no outs. Bunt it and get runners on1st and 3rd!!

But nope. Let's strikeout. Ugh

So Robinson and Tocci combined to go 0 for 7 with 5 k's today. I believe Rus is 0 for the season as well. Might as well get Calhoun up here soon to see what he can do with DeShields in the shelf for a while.

Sorry, he needs to work on his defense in AAA long enough for the team to have another year of control

Tough break with Deshields. I thought I heard them say in the pregame though that Gurriel had the same injury and was back in extended ST getting rehab starts within 4 weeks. DD could be back in the order the first week of May.

Not sure if anyone saw Yu's debut for the Cubs, but he left much to be desired. 4.1IP, 5H, 5ER, 2BB, 4K, 102 pitches (59 strikes).

Mike Minor looks like Moore except much better placement.
Very surprised by all starters

Rua should never bat against a right handed pitcher....ever
