The cavernous stadium, the ugly carpet, Brett Dolan, Rob Manfred
And on the way out Dolan thanks Manfred for what's he's doing for the game of baseball. Seriously...Barf
It's comical how poorly they designed it...first they tried to copy us from the way it looks on the inside but made it look like a horse barn on the outside. Then they REALLY did copy us (and by us I mean 1970's Astrodome) with that awful turf that somehow looks even worse than the Astrodome's.
It was such an easy layup for them...build the stadium in downtown Dallas, put in real grass, have tons of tech in the concourse areas (hell, there are still plenty of tech companies in the area) and boom, revitalize downtown and make it the place to be in the summer.
Such idiots but if any fanbase deserves it, it's them.

It takes 30 seconds to get a beer there, and that includes travel time to and from your seat.Prosperdick said:Plus they have like one small monitor located in weird spots around the concourse and not nearly enough of them so you can't keep track of the game while you get concessions (which is ever more critical now with the up tempo).Ag_07 said:

Gallo is 0 for 2, but he reached on an error. Shouldn't the first AB not count as anything? He didn't make an out.

It's a general baseball question. If you don't know the answer, don't worry about it.Eso si, Que es said:take it to the donkey threadThe Porkchop Express said:

Rangers put up a 5 spot on Nola
From Dr. Google:
An error does not count as a hit but still counts as an at bat for the batter unless, in the scorer's judgment, the batter would have reached first base safely but one or more of the additional bases reached was the result of the fielder's mistake.

They've become a nobody for the last 5ish years. I don't feel the need to really root against them. They're just floundering around modeling their rebuild after the Angels.
The 1st AB is when he reached on the error. That's an AB and an 0-1, b/c he would have been out. Maybe you're asking something else, b/c I feel like you know that?The Porkchop Express said:It's a general baseball question.

Yeah, and dudes should stay off their thread. It's embarrassing. If you are going to talk ****, save it for the Trash Talk thread, and also, make sure you have your facts straight.
Do I now literally love Mark Wahlberg?
He seems a bit sauced here, yea?Farmer1906 said:

Mets batter was just given an automatic strike b/c the runner at 1st took too long going back to base on a foul ball.

No, I really wasn't sure about the error counting as an at-bat. I thought he would just be 0-0 and reaching on an error.redline248 said:The 1st AB is when he reached on the error.

All good.
I think the only time the AB is scrubbed is on a walk, HBP or sac bunt

16 pitches at 101 or higher.
Holy ****!
There is literally no chance this is correct. That's statcast with a massive glitch. It's a bad gun, a mis calibrated sensor or just a screw up.

Or sac fly.

I forgot about Catcher Interference, but I thought a sac fly still counted as 0-1, but an RBI.
Hmm

Wheels coming off for the Phlis in the 4th, Rangers up 9-5.
Rangers with a 9 spot in the 4th.
I used the google machine. MLB site says that often time a batter will "try" to hit into the OF so it doesn't count as an AB. I didn't think that was something easy to "try" to do the same way a bunt is. Interesting.redline248 said:

What a train wreck!

Nope. Sac is a sac and an 0-0
Springer starting well. Love to see him healthy and playing well. I'll always be a fan!
