Here at the park and those were awesome! We could definitively knock them out of the post season.
Ballgame! Marcus walks it off!

Still some games remaining, but where does everyone see Langford in terms of ROY?Super Aggie 64 said:
Wyatt 3 run home run!
Probably getting a vote or two from some local media members. Bout it.
I think he "should" finish 3rd, but will likely end up 5th in voting.
It was a pretty average season for rookies in the AL.
He's been great. I don't recall any horrible slumps. He's consistent and has figured out how to hit with power in the 2nd half of the season. He could be one of our all-time greats.DallasAg 94 said:Still some games remaining, but where does everyone see Langford in terms of ROY?Super Aggie 64 said:

And he hasn't thrown tantrums when he's gotten repeatedly screwed on strike calls on pitches off the plate. That should earn him a better zone in years to come.
Mainly it just convinces the umps that they can screw you over more and they won't have to hear about it. David Murphy's strike zone was in the third base dugout by the time he retired.South Platte said:He's been great. I don't recall any horrible slumps.

He showed a lot of poise for a rookie. He's been really impressive in his first year and has all the makings of a future star.
And on a side note, he probably kept his poise since he knows the challenge system is coming next season.

My 2 cents worth. With all of the injuries I'm not sure what we should have expected. I see a very bright future, especially next season.
The umps do actually review the data in the offseason, and they learn which players actually have good eyes and which dont.94chem said:Mainly it just convinces the umps that they can screw you over more and they won't have to hear about it.

Maybe they should spend more time trying to figure out where the strike zone actually is.
I know we want to stay off each other's threads (for good reason) but this is a fascinating video by Jomboy on how catchers are moving forward in the catchers box to get calls. Hopefully you all find it as fascinating as I did. It's all about fooling the umpire.
Yep, some catchers are definitely getting closer to work umps. I don't have 2024 stats, but anecdotally, it seems like I've seen a lot more catchers interference than ever this year. And last year was a MLB record by far. 4X the number of calls vs 10 years ago
With as much as we complain about umpires, it's amazing that they do as well as they do. I understand that with good eyes and enough training, the inside/outside stuff can be handled okay, but the high/low calls seem impossible. Same way I used to feel about tennis umpires...if only there were something that could be done...

With six games left, it seems like yesterday I was rolling into Glf to see the crooked banner unveiled. This season hasn't gone as any of us hoped and honestly I haven't been able to watch every game since May but, I'm and really sad the season is ending.
It means we're closer to the holidays which is my favorite time of year but I'll miss the season.

We at least get one more deGrom and one more Rocker start. I think it was pretty key for them both to get some starts in to see live bullets at the mlb level. What is working/not working pitch assortment wise, prior to the off-season. They know what they need to work on. Mahle too, but he had some stiffness or something that supposedly wasn't bad if I recall (supposedly can happen post-TJ surgery?). At least they all got some innings in which will help them be prepared for Spring Training.sburg2007 said:

We got CY signed to lead the way. Now we need the big wigs to figure out a tv deal so they know what they have to work with money-wise and not the dreaded "revenue uncertainty" when the tv deal is still up in the air.
Be great if the Rangers could do a local TV deal like the Mavs. Sure going to miss Rangers playoff baseball.
Hoping a longer offseason to heal up and refocus gives us a strong start next year. Excited about the pitching. With so many guys coming off injury will be interesting to see how the staff is handled.

I'm hoping they join Victory+ with the Stars
Counting down the days until I can cancel Direct Stream!

I kinda wish we had given Seattle the win on Sunday. That would put them 3 back with 2 more vs. Houston. Would be positively scrumptious if Houston choked this away in the last week. Framber probably ends Seattle's season tonight.
I'm wondering if other local teams are keeping a close eye on how Victory+ is doing early in the year. If that sees success early on, maybe there is announcement by the New Year that the Rangers will be on Victory+.Legal Custodian said:

And we need for Jung to decide if he's gonna be more like the oft-injured Seager, or the rarely available Trout. Garcia didn't have the year we wanted, but he still shows up every day. And 23/80 isn't the worst thing that can happen if you have Carter/Jung/Lowe/Seager actually deciding to play baseball for a full season.

And how the heck did Jankowski get 100+ games of action? I like the guy, but that's just way too much Legolas on the field.

Injuries were certainly a factor this year but we just have to play better. Too many guys didn't perform this year. Last year we had guys step up and this year we didn't have that. If our players can play somewhere in between last year and this year we will be just fine.
Not gonna miss watching the Rangers play the As in this stupid park. Hope to sweep them out of the park for the last series it will ever have
How many RBIs for Langeliers this series? I'll guess six.

Painful way to steal a run...
I hate that rule by the way. Maybe it's always been the rule, but when I was growing up we learned the hands are part of the bat. That should be a foul ball. Makes no sense that the knob of the bat is a foul ball then as you work your way up the bat there is this small area where its a HBP and then it's foul again when the hands end. Makes absolutely no sense.

Typical small dicked houston loser. The anchor fanbase of aggie sports. Always so obsessed with other teams, other programs, etc. Broken.
