The future is now, old man: CWS @ TEX 8/4-7

Ventura was hit by a knuckle ball

Speaking directly about the Rangers having 0 homegrown ERA under 4.00 over the last 7 years.
Imo that’s bad regardless of other teams situation

It is definitely an indictment of an organization no matter how many teams are guilty of it.

 

[saddles]

Yes, Chris Young has to be in charge of firing the manager in order to fire the manager.

Wow, you think?

 

[saddles]

really shows the Rangers pitching incompetence over the last 10 years

To some fans, that probably means the article is biased. I usually run into them on Twitter.

 

[saddles]

Woody is busy getting the lineup made out.

Probably 2026 for Rocker then.

 

[saddles]

I wonder if Porter gets here before Rocker?

Acker late 2023
Porter mid 2025
Rocker- Early-Mid 2024

Almost have too many lol
Vanasco and Roby could easily stand out next year too and get right back in this conversation.
Mitch Bratt could be here in 2024-25 as well

Yeah, 4 or 5 of those may make their debuts elsewhere.

Not certain Smith can get one out.

They need to find the ones with the most hype, yet the least likely to succeed in the bigs lol
Then trade those ones

It would seem that way lol
He did avg a HR ever 22 AB last year though.
Over 500 AB if he avgs 1 every 34 AB it would be about 15.
I think he’s super focused with getting on base and making good contact. As his confidence grows at the big league level I think he’ll start knocking them out.

In fact..imma do it..haha

Calling a Smith HR tonight.. a real one

25 HR is possible for Jung at some point but never having faced MLB pitching may make it difficult his first season.
