I have been following the Rangers' possible draft pick slot closely over the last few days. I am really hoping the Rangers can get within the top 9. It is actually top 12, but there are 3 teams that can not choose any higher than 10th.

In other words, if we don't choose in the top 9 we would have to choose no better than 13th. Going back to the 2024 draft you can see why selecting 9th instead of 13th to 16th is a really big deal. That 9th selection in 2024 was Konnor Griffin. The 13th selection was James Tibbs. Konnor Griffin is now the top prospect in baseball. Tibbs is not in the top 100.

So, it would really be great if we lost the last three games and the Giants and Cardinals won 2 and the Royals won at least 1. Of course we would still have to hope no one 13th or worse gets a lottery pick.

The Royals won, so that helps.

I saw these numbers and these words on Facebook, so I hope they are correct.

"Rangers lose their final home game today. 4-0. For those who may not understand why the supreme frustration and disappointment with this year’s club is this simple fact. We’ll drill down into total numbers later but I will leave you with the greatest home pitching in the entire 53 year history of the Rangers:"

- 2.81 ERA (1st)
- 1.12 WHIP (1st)
- .218 AVG (1st)
- .284 OBP (1st)
- .627 OPS (1st)

"A lot of us are expecting big changes this offseason."

The home era is incredible. What could have been what a waste.

I would also expect changes to make the park pitcher hitter neutral

Absolutely does not excuse hitters. I Hayek many of their approaches
