Real baseball is finally here and Chief Wahoo is in town. Let's kick this season off the right way.

Should be an interesting series. I was hoping this would be our opponent in the ALDS last year. Good test for the resurgent "speed lineup" that the Rangers have been using to win a lot of games in spring training.

Haha Wahoo is probably safe for 4 more years. As I watch Rodney implode, looking forward to real Ramger baseball.

Rodney implosion is salvaged and gets a win. Welcome back baseball.

BTW think Profat gets LF start against Kluber. So we get Gallo and Profar in lineup. Not to mention Mazara and Odor. We all thought that years ago right? Except Profar in LF. A lot of new guys on 25 man roster. That will change soon.

Yeah, me as well, Murph.



Not a good hockey year, however

Not sure this is the best to keep guys hot and in a rhythm, but hope it works out fine!

Unfortunately, I think that's a byproduct of having more questions than answers. Here's hoping that one or more of Rua, Gallo, DDJ, and Profar provide answers.

I am starting to think it is time to make some tough decisions on some of these guys and have a couple vets on the bench to use for off days. Don't know that you will get a bunch, for moving guys like DDJ or Rua or even the sort of unproven Profar, but these kids need to play and we need to see what they really are at this point

Agreed. Time to figure out which of them can fish or cut bait. I don't expect us to be contenders this year so I'm more inclined to be patient while this plays out, but I want something to come from it.

My thoughts are, if this is likely to not be our year anyway. Let's make some moves and add some pitching prospects and let the guys we don't move play everyday and see what we have. I just hate to see these kids not playing baseball everyday and sitting multiple days

Gotta look to extend Lucroy and Darvish. If either or neither can't reach a deal and we're not tearing it up we've got to trade them because those two could bring a haul. If we can get those two extremes we'd still have some work to do, but we're not that far off from being legitimate contenders. A solid #3 and real difference maker in the lineup puts us right in the thick of it.

Yeah I am hoping they make something happen with either or both soon, don't think they can take the chance of losing them for nothing. Think the talks w Lucroy were tabled for now though. Offer him 4 years at 17AAV and if he declines I think you have to think about moving him before the second half
