Hell yes, I didn't realize we were so close. I fucking love this show.

Delete thread, ban user.

I also talked to an inside source last night. Biggest news I got was that we have no intention of offering Keuchel more than a 3-year deal, and that's if this season is successful with no injury concerns. Our front office is pretty worried about the health of a guy like Keuchel (for good reason, given the past 2 years), in line with Bill James's analysis of the injury histories of softer-throwing lefties.

HG participated in the Shaggy fantasy baseball draft last night, so he's definitely around.

He's a solid fielder in left and has the potential to hit 25+ home runs a season if he can elevate and pull the ball in the air more often.
Agreed, but this also describes Marisnick. If his power surge last year wasn't a fluke, he absolutely could/should be an everyday regular on most teams in the league. But we have the luxury of being able to platoon both guys given their opposite handedness and mutual great athleticism.

My appreciation for Mr.Crane continues to grow. On top of what he did for us. He is honoring all the employees thursday with thier ring ceremony. Giving each employee thier ring on the field. Add the fact he called out the south Oklahoma rangers on thier bs last year.
100% agree. He ordered 900 rings (there are four different types) - everyone down to the ushers and parking lot attendants. Class act.

Y’all are fucked.

And yeah...definitely OU dick shirt.

I second the request for one of you techies to record the interview for posterity’s sake (if the horn doesn’t already do it on its website).

Yeah I'm unprepared as fuck for this draft. Don't make a shit, y'all are screwed.

Or 50% of 102?

Or maybe it's 3 fewer than 54?

I think it's 2 more than 49.

Someone needs to bring over that Tejano dance gif from last year
Como? You say we need something for when Astros win? Correa hits three bombs? Altuve hits for the cycle? Verlander and Keuchel each throw 3 perfect games this year?

How has Cole looked? Did the pitching coaches make any changes to his approach, delivery, etc?
a great move by your front office imo..
Pretty damned good. He's hitting 97 and his stuff looks filthy. If he could keep up that K/9 and keep his WHIP a bit lower, no reason he couldn't win 15+ games.

Last year the stress of anticipation was palpable. This year I can just enjoy the ride.
Just wait until October...it'll be just as stressful as last year!

Can you add World Champion to the thread title? I want the fucking Ranger fans and heblewious to see it every time they get on the baseball board
Sorry - no can do. While it’s fun to rub their noses in it, the baseball gods would not look kindly upon a break from last year’s thread title.
