I was talking baseball on the other thread. Not trolling. I was being friendly and even saying how I was excited to watch their game tonight.

My posts got deleted. But a couple of the posts of some of the guys attacking me stayed up. What in the world? Am I not allowed to talk baseball on this website?

If the mods are reading this I'm genuinely asking. The only rule I'm aware of is no trolling and I was having an exchange about what I liked/didn't like about the JV trade. It's odd that I can't do that but it's okay to attack me.


Don't waste your time over there if they want to be bigots

For sure. Just beyond weird. It was a completely normal conversation and I wasn't remotely close to trolling.

Typical rangers fans confusing normal baseball conversation with attacks. It's sad but it's Dallas, or Fort Worth, or grapevine, or whatever community it is they play in.

So we can delete and ban Mr. Gigem for just posting here?

That just shows you where the bias lies. I wouldn't engage with the stranger fans even if in good faith
No matter what!

Maybe it'll be a positive experience. I got a month long ban in G1 of WS last year and we won it all.

Good luck. I've been banned once. Caught a 24 hr for rational, non-aggressive posting of a couple of tweets I found interesting on a B&I crypto thread. It's truly wild the completely arbitrary power the mods have...

That's the HR phrase for "if you don't come forward on your own we will submit you to a drug test, fail you and fire you." Sounds like he took the freebie.

Don't know how I could have been dumber. I wanted Rizzo and he is having an absolutely horrid year. Not saying the guy we got is much better, but damn.


Same I would have been on cloud 9 if we signed Rizzo

From Reddit:

"Rizzo in July against teams not named the Royals: .130/.221/.145

Lou Gehrig with ALS: .143/.273/.143"

Yeah yankee fans are done

Our #26 prospect per MLB.

Fangraphs has him 28th

Astros Futures has him 7th

Baseball Prospectus has him #42 overall at the midseason ranking.

He went into today with a 148 wRC+.

Does the MMP keep the roof open during the day so the grass gets sunlight?

Yordan's knees are why he's not at 1B
But they don't keep him out of LF
I have you ever seen a LFer have to stretch to dig a bad throw?
Wouldn't that put more strain on the hamstrings and groin than the knees?


Looks like all of it - hamstrings, groin, knees.
Well, for one thing, you stride into the throw with your glove hand foot....


Is that a middle infielder covering first or something? Because that dude ain't wearing a first baseman's mitt.


Probably a second baseman covering first base on a bunt coverage drill. As far as which foot to use on the bag, even RH players field balls close to the first baseline with their left foot on the bag. Gives the player fielding the ball a better target and less likely that the throw interferes with the runner

So do they close the roof like right before the game starts then? It must be hot AF in there if so
