The Rangers close out a disappointing 2022 with 4 against Aaron Judge at home: NYY@TEX 10/3-5

[scotsman1948]

We will finish with either the 6th or 7th worst record. If Detroit wins and we lose we move up to 6th. If not, we stay at 7th.

All teams not making the playoffs are eligible for a lottery pick. There is a sliding scale of probability with the worst team getting a higher probability of a lottery pick and then the 2nd worst team has a slightly less probability. It keeps going down from there.

The first 6 picks will be chosen by a lottery with the worst teams having a better chance as previously described. Once the first 6 picks are chosen it reverts to the reverse order by record like it was previously.

Even if the Rangers finish with the 6th worst record, they could pick as low as 12th.

that would suck

Aaron Judge has six more HR than Joey Gallo has total hits.

Wait now, are you trying to say:

Aaron Judge > Joey Gallo

Have you run this by Newberg?

Oh I'm sure there's a "this just means we can bring him back cheap" tweet locked and loaded.

Today is only the second time in the past 25 years that features no postseason seeding implications on the final day of the season.

There are 9 teams this year that will lose 90 or more games. Last year there were 7 teams that lost that many. Having a draft lottery was supposed to fix that, but I never expected it to. The draft lottery was just a bad idea.

it's also the first time in history that there will be 3 100 win teams going to the NL postseason. Statistical anomalies happen in baseball, that's what makes it so great.

The polarization seems to be taking effect.

I was hoping for a lot better OPS, especially given his fielding.

His fielding seemed to improve to me and yes re OPS but with all his HRs I thought it would be higher. Must not have walked much

He has only had one year when he walked more. It was his bad batting average.

He is pretty articulate

Yet Gallo has had a higher OPS at times. Am I missing something

That's pretty depressing; at least from Joey's standpoint..........I have read/several talkingheads suggested bringing Gallo back to th Rangers. Is anyone in favor of this? If so, please explain your rationale.
