This morning's online groundswell is removing the requirement of touching all the bases on a HR because Witt Jr against Frisco and a Pirates player both did that last night.

So at least it's not just Rangers fans who are getting dumb as shit.
That was a crazy play

I understand the idea, but that the Rangers are leaning into the ASG push so hard is amusing to me. Solak and Lowe have no business doing anything but watching the All Star Game at home with the rest of us.

Would think only Garcia and Gibson could be considered for ASG

Re walks and strikeouts
Gallo is an extremist IMO and likely too selective. His pursuit of walks has hurt his OPS.

They see .07 more pitches per plate appearance than we do. In other words, after three times through the lineup they see just under 2 more pitches than our batters do.

We have two hitters in the top 11 in that category -- Lowe and Gallo.

Kinda think you nailed it. Seems sad that is the best we have to offer.

The fact that we have a starter having a legit All Star season is impressive to me.
Was not taking anything from Gibson at all. Was a general statement meaning two candidates is all we had to select from.

Understood. At the start of this year, I assumed we'd just have one ASG rep, and that's only because each team is guaranteed that. Having two worthy All Stars on the roster is somewhat of a miracle to me haha

Me too and that is reason to find some replacements.

I remember a lot if times where teams only got one representative and that was simply because every team had to have one. So, having two that legitimately deserve to go, in a rebuilding year, is awesome to me.

Lol. I replied almost exactly the same as you before seeing what you had to say.
