So does that Yainer AB still count as an AB with bases loaded? I'm curious how BBREF would classify that
Not sure what you're asking? He struck out, so yes, it's an AB


Apologies for the poor wording. Since he started the AB with bases loaded, but ended the AB with only 2 on due to the wild pitch, how does it go into the stat book? When you look at splits on baseball reference, will that K go under "AB w/bases loaded" or "AB w/runners on 2nd and 3rd"?

Does that make sense?

Oh, gotcha. I THINK (dangerous) it is figured based on last pitch...when you either put the ball in play, struck out, or walked. So in that case, it would not be a bases loaded AB

Clutch pitching by Clase on the road. Bases loaded none out for the Twins and he gets a K and double play to preserve a two run lead. Cleveland and Minnesota split a 4 game series, so we gain on both teams. Race for the number 2 seed still within reason.

We sweep one of the better teams in baseball, but struggle with Arlington and Oakland. That's baseball.

Sweet win, our high water mark thus far in games over .500, and pushed us ahead of the Red Sox in the overall standings.

That it was a sweep in decisive fashion at their place is icing on the cake and makes for fun Sox post game threads.

Do their fans not know they cheated too and their CURRENT manager was the brains behind 2017 AND 2018?? I've seen several comments saying we "cheated our way to a trophy" and we "weren't punished enough." Pot meet kettle...

So I took almost a month off from TexAgs to take care of some personal things.

Last week while waiting for something to start, I applied my statistical mind to the difference between TexAgs Astros and Rangers' posters.

Here's the comparison

Astros 2024 thread: Started 3/27/24
Current page count: 1,357

March pages: 67 March record: 0-4
April pages: 363 April record: 10-15
May pages: 324 May record: 15-14
June pages: 219 June record: 17-8
July pages: 276 July record: 14-11
August pages: 98 (to date) August record: 6-3

Analysis: It's funny to see that the most posts easily came along with the worst month(s) (March/April) as all of the naysayers came out of the woodwork to cast dispersion on the death of the dynasty. I had to do the math 3 times to make sure I had the June page count right - when you win a lot, there are a lot fewer posts if you're the Astros because the haters fall off.

Meanwhile, up I-45

Rangers 2024 thread: Started 3/28/24
Current page count: 331

March pages: 25 March record: 2-1
April pages: 120 April record: 14-13
May pages: 70 May record: 11-16
June pages: 40 June record: 11-16
July pages: 73 Record: 14-11
August pages 15 (to date) August record: 3-6

Analysis: So this is fairly hilarious. The Rangers' fans tallied 145 pages during their 16-14 start to the year - but more importantly while the Astros were falling into a 10-19 hole. That's 44% of their entire thread to date in the first 33 days of the season. From May 1 to today (Aug 11), they've only managed an additional 186 pages. That means they averaged 4.4 pages / day in March/April, but from May 1 until now, it's down to 1.7 pages a day. The Astro thread's worst month by comparison is 7.3 pages a day in June.



For all the lurking Ranger fans, this took me 15 minutes to do. Yes, that's how I spent my time.

Feels so good, feelin' good again.

Four hits, 16 Ks, and a .339 OPS as a Jay.

Not picking on Joey because he seems like a great dude. But Dana was probably on to something.

Jeez they've just absolutely mailed it in.

One of my best buds is a Braves fan. He has become apathetic toward them lately.

Rangers only have "fans" when they win the World Series. Football starting soon, so they will tail off completely.

Looking forward to next year, do you pick up JV's option or use it to resign kikuchi, and roll with Framber/Kikuchi/Blanco/arighetti/garcia,urquidy,javi,mccullers

Also, will we save 8-9 million on Tucker's last arb because of missed time?

FIFY. If he ever pitches a game again, consider it a winning lottery ticket.

I don't think there is an option to pick up. He either beats and gets it or doesn't. At least that's how I understand it.
