No reason for it, really, but motherfucker... look like a pro.

I think people greatly underestimate Diaz's ceiling.  He appears to have a well above average arm, sets up and blocks reasonably well, and calls a good game.  If his bat can prove out along with those skills and he has All Star and beyond potential.

[tx 3 putt 75959]

Diaz is coming along nicely, keep him along and let him leave from Martin all season 

[tx 3 putt 75959]

We have a lot of nice pieces, but missing two important ones. We are depending heavily on young guys at this point of the season. Some other vets are still waking up. It’s going to be a log season. Get back to .500

[ChickenSandwich 9795]

Get a CF at the deadline.

He’s in high A ball

You guys don't know shit about analytics.  7-9 starts in 2021 and 2022, and you want to fuck that up by winning tonight?

Decent pieces at catcher with Diaz and Lee. They can spend the money elsewhere in the offseason.

Roof open tonight

 

last time we played the rangers at home in a Sunday night with the roof open… 5 years ago yesterday.

we didn’t get a baserunner until the 8th.

Exit velocity on Meyers's single:  72.1, launch angle 51 degrees

Raised his BA to .174

Could be start of a big turnaround!

[tx 3 putt 75959]

[Gourmand 7774]

Meyers is the 2023 edition of Surly's April 2022 Goodrum

Meyers could be a defensive replacement late in games if he didn't have a noodle for an arm and is scared to dive or run into the wall because of his shoulder

[WBT 20376]

Chas completely blind in his left eye now or what?

Dusty's probably pushing to put him on the 60 day IL.

Except Goodrum never had a multitude of Surlyites singing his praises. 

[tx 3 putt 75959]

Chas is not available today

Was hoping Hensley would build on what he showed in 2022, but no real sign of that yet. Tonight would be a perfect time to flip the switch. 

[WBT 20376]

Time for the espn Sunday night baseball circus

[Guest]

Rangers wearing their cheapo convenience store caps tonight?

(Like Bochy was wearing in the interview with Dusty)

Lol at espns How the West was won graphic.....poor Oakland

[Scraps 13518]

Karl Ravech acting like this is the first game pitch clock is used

[rvm96 1643]

Do you really pronounce their third basemans last name Young when it's spelled Jung?

[tx 3 putt 75959]

Weird shadows out there

Astros are going to Nguyen 

[cabowabo 4446]

This is awkward. 

[UTexasFight 9362]

This catcher mic’d up is terrible 

[UTexasFight 9362]

Make a throw to the bag, dammit 

[tx 3 putt 75959]

So get the f out of the way and let it hop to Yordan.

[billfromlaketravis 11328]

Meyers, Maldy , and Hensley. Because Dusty hates us. 

[CycleTex87 2952]

Hope the mic-ed up deal is only one inning.

The Bregman one was only for a half inning iirc 

[tx 3 putt 75959]

Hensley at DH

 

Dusty : 

[BrickTop 474]

Hensley likes to watch strike three a lot.

[Scraps 13518]

Lol at 17 OPS+

League avg 100


Thanks for pointing that out espn

[tx 3 putt 75959]

Free wings !

[Limp Brisket 545]

I didn’t expect a Maldy suckfest.

[David Dennison 18487]

Jake in CF

 

Dusty:

[runthebone 7913]

Well, there is no choice with Chazz out.  Still, smart of Pena to steal second and open first base, see if you can tempt them to walk Meyers intentionally!

[tx 3 putt 75959]

Damn 

[Scraps 13518]

Home plate ump is ass
