The 2023 Season kicks off at home against NL champs PHI: Cheesesteaks V BBQ at the Grill 3/30 - 4/2

Nice to get the win on opening day. The rangers much maligned bullpen held it for one game.

Ragans' first win.

I think we are making a big mistake not having this guy start every 5th game in the minors.

Yep, had we signed a few guys for the BP that would be possible

Just found the new thread, duh. Great comeback win!

Mason Englert pitched one inning yesterday for the Tigers. He gave up a solo HR.

Okay guys, I need your input. I have volunteered to write an occasional article for TheProspectTimes.com. You've probably seen me post tweets from the guy who runs the site. My first article is going to be about our 6th round draft pick from last year, Tommy Specht. Tommy was drafted out of high school. He is an outfielder. I messaged him through Twitter and he graciously agreed to an informal interview where I message him questions and he messages me back his answers.

This is where I would like some input from you guys. What kind of questions should I ask him? What would you like to know about him and about his experiences so far?

Was it hard for him to forgo going to university, enjoying college and potentially moving up the draft board a few years later?

Where is he now and at what level and how does he see the future.

Opening Day recap:

getting to, parking, and into the stadium was the easiest I've ever seen it. Really everything about the stadium was smooth, seems like they've finally figured all of that out.

deGrom looked every bit the ace in the 1st. the game got away from him, but PHI are the reigning NL champs and they can mash. JdG sat close to 100 consistently.

My buddy and I went to chat with some friends at the middle of the 4th. BOT 4 is when the Rangers rallied, so obviously we were the reason that happened. And we never moved from our spot after that.

6th game at the Grill for me, but the first time I've seen them actually win.

Changes will also effect past records. I feel Maury Wills, Lou Brock and Ricky Henderson are getting a raw deal. Their records will eventually fall because of these changes. Forever baseball has been America's game. Leave baseball alone!!

Minor League Baseball: Specht benefits from early lessons in Arizona

Tommy Specht believes he benefitted from the lows as much as the highs in his abbreviated first season in professional baseball.

Maybe this article is of interest. He went to school with Ian M @saddles

Thanks. I actually read this article and a couple of others earlier this week. He was considered the top prospect in the state of Iowa last year. He also has a family member who once pitched for the Rangers back in the 70s.

It looks like Cole Winn gets the start tonight for Round Rock.

So much great info here and all I have to do is log on and read.

you guys are awesome.

I’ve been to the globe once and we lost to the Yankees. We didn’t even score a run.

Probably too early to ask, but no game tonight so

anyone notice any wizardry from Bochy yet?

He did adjust his outfield late in the game for defensive purposes. I sure wish one of our previous managers had done that once upon a time.
