I was one that was really high on Solak. Still am. Let's see how he does the rest of his first full season. Tejada has been a real disappointment.KT 90 said:Quote:
At 26.157, have we seen enough of him?! This is about the same age Odor was last year at this time.
No. It's his first full season as a MLB starter, I think he deserves the shot to fight his way out of a slump and continue to be the primary 2B for a full season to see what he can do. We watched Odor struggle for multiple seasons consecutively, Solak at least deserves one full season.
It's not like he is blocking someone of note in the minors anyway. Who would we even plug into 2B in place of Solak? Anderson Tejada was struggling so bad at AAA that he recently got demoted to AA. Maybe there is someone else I'm not thinking of off the top of my head.
Quote:Quote:On the broadcast, last night, I think they said, while he is listed at 5'6"... there is little chance he is taller than 5'4". They also said it didn't seem to matter how tall he was when he is hitting HRs.Quote:Quote:
I mean really tiny.... he's listed at 5'9" (and that's probably generous) and 140 lbs. 3 HRs in 1,398 career minor league ABs. Singles hitter, with even limited gap power. But very speedy, walks a good bit and makes good contact with not a lot of strike outs.
Altuve is 5'-6"
Never seen the guy.

Have you ever seen a really long home run and wondered how far in feet it traveled? Sure, maybe. But have you wondered how many Altuves it was?
After seeing a long ball hit by Justin Maxwell last season, Astros fan Bryan Trostel decided he would begin calculating all baseball measurements based on the height of Astros second baseman Jose Altuve.
Home to first base? 16.6 Altuves. Aroldis Chapman's 104 mph fastball? 28.2 Altuves.
On Monday, Trostel was at Minute Maid Park for the A's-Astros game and was able to finally meet Jose.
"For him to come up and say that he liked the website was really neat," Trostel said. "It was great to get to meet him."

This is what I started to think after my last post. There is no way they charge $23/month for consumers who login with TV provider.dvldog said:
Are you sure it's not specifically for the app/service for cord cutters? Not a charge for those who receive the channel through their TV provider (DTV, AT&T, etc.)?
I posted this a few pages back:

And so even at $23 a month, I would drop ATT TV, go back to YouTube TV and pay the $23 a month only during the Rangers season.
ATT TV is about $20 a month more expensive than YTTV. But YTTV, while having fewer channels, has a lot of features I prefer.

For those that have been to a game at the new stadium, can you provide some input for what you feel are the overall best seats? May be taking the kids up next weekend for a game possibly.
Not the most expensive seats and not the cheapest seats, but best overall for the money and location. I know a few of you have chimed in previously, but it's probably spread over various pages and posts on this thread.
Thanks.

The BIGGEST issue I have with the new stadium is the fact the seats overall point to the top of 2nd Base where the dirt meets the turf.
If you look at the seating chart... the seats depict actual angles and long flat rows of seats literally point directly out.
Section 106 seats point to the OF above 2B.
Section 110 the seats point towards 1B.
All seats from Section 106 through 110 are side-by-side and all face perpendicular to the flat surface they are attached. It will make more sense once you see it.
In RBiA, all of the seats were directed towards the Pitcher's mound and each seat individually pointed there. So, if you went with a group of 4, there was a natural relationship between Seat 1 which may be farther from Hmoe Plate and Seat 4.
In GLF... if Seat 1 in Section 106 is closer to 105 and Seat 4 is closer to Section 107... all 4 of you will be pointed out towards 2B. As everyone looks towards Pitcher's mound, the person in Seat 4 will literally have their back to the person in Seats 1-3. So, if you are taking the kids... you will want to consider where you sit in relation to them.
IIRC, I've been in 110, 112, 113, 115, 124/125, 207, and 233.
I really liked the 100 level.
Enjoy the game. It is a nice stadium and the roof with A/C was very comfortable.
Rangers will start process of building up reliever John King to longer role, potentially as a return to starter. Their MLB-ready options in minors are few. King has been very impressive with sinker. He is expected to pitch today & on more of a regular schedule going forward.

Gallo insists money won't be a roadblock to extension
ARLINGTON Joey Gallo spent time last weekend in Los Angeles with his agent, Scott Boras.
The right fielder has spent time, just not quite as recently, with Texas Rangers brass.
Gallo has made it clear that doesn't want to be traded. He doesn't want to be leave via free agency.
Gallo said he also has made it known to both the Rangers and Boras that the size of a potential contract extension is not going to be what drives him away from the Rangers.
"I haven't even talked about money," Gallo said Friday before the Rangers opened a 10-game homestand. "Everybody keeps talking about money. It's not money. I never want money. I want to be here, and I want to be here with a team that values me. Money is money. We can figure that out."

As much as I'd like to believe that, it's hard to believe someone that feels that way would be a Boras client.
