I'd love to see the Rangers bring back Montgomery. Their rotation next year is made up primarily of guys who's arms are at various stages of detachment.

Chillmatic posted:How do y'all watch full replays of past games? The only thing I'm finding on mlb.tv is audio replays which I don't want, or condensed replays. I signed up for the $4/month thing, but apparently that's only for live audio. Full game? None of the archive or mlb.tv links seem to want to work for me either right now. If you just want to watch the condensed game, you can just find it on the scores page or the team's schedule and click the Wrap link and there will be a Condensed Game button.

STAC Goat posted:I’m feeling pretty lousy but I just felt a lot better randomly remembering that John Rocker once went on Survivor, his his identity by saying he was John Wetteland, was quickly called out as a bigot and threatened to hurt people, somehow blamed Obama for him getting voted out or something, and then his girlfriend quit after she was caught stealing food and said it was because people judge her for being hot. And somehow John Wetteland might have been the worse human of the two.

Bregor posted:I was anti 13- or 14-man pitching staffs due to endless LOOGY/ROOGY use but with the three batter minimum I don’t really care that much any more. Openers are fine. Protecting a guy from the third time through the order is fine. I agree with all of this. The three batter minimum for mid inning pitching changes is great. Now if we could get rid of the new inning > pinch hitter > pitching change bullshit, that would be great. That's probably only a post season/Bochy thing though.

A ball/strike challenge system seems like chaos to me. How far away could we possibly be from umpires getting augmented reality glasses that just superimpose the strike zone? I've got to think we have the tech now, and that might be a good enough compromise.

Don't get me wrong, I am completely in favor of fully automated strike zone. I just think there's a lot of internal inertia to overcome to actually get there any time soon, and most of it is placating umpires.

Dameius posted:Dallas and Houston both had white flight. Houston's response was to say gently caress that and just swallow the flight and keep bloating out. Dallas took a different approach. I'm not sure its all that different. I bought a house in Little Elm (basically Denton) in 2021 because the housing market was utter loving chaos at the time. Its still just non-stop construction up here almost 3 years later. They are determined to pave and suburbanize every square inch all the way to Oklahoma at this point.

I remember Benji Gil coming up in 1993 heralded as a huge prospect and franchise savior. I want to say I was even at his debut game or at least one very shortly after. What a massive bust he turned out to be. Edit: Also massive lol that I am now getting SPRING TRAINING PRESALE emails from the Rangers. Who the gently caress buys Spring Training tickets in November?

Sydin posted:Just about eight hours if you gun it through some of the more desolate desert sections. The new stadium in Vegas isn't expected to be done until the 2028 season either. They are out of the Coliseum after 2024, so they basically chose to spend 3 full seasons as baseball hobos rather than take the better deal Oakland was offering. Dumb as hell.

Yeah he moved to short out of necessity after they dealt Arod for Alfonso Soriano, but had no loving business playing there. He even got a comedy gold glove in 2008 just due to his reputation as being a good guy I guess? The "past a diving Michael Young" (padmy) call became a meme in Rangers circles.

The present value of $10m a year today instead of making $450k-ish for the next 3 or 4 years is huge. If he was smart with this money (lol), the growth of it would probably offset a lot of potential income loss in years 6 through 8. Plus it sets him up for life if he flames out or loses a leg in a snow plow accident or something. As a player you take this deal 100% of the time, even if it potentially caps your earnings 6 or 7 years from now.

Well Played Mauer posted:Found the context elsewhere. It’s to limit the downtime from bringing in yet another pitcher after the original pitcher spent the time between innings warming up on the mound, which averaged an extra 3 minutes of commercial time. It’s rare enough that it’s a nothingburger either way. At least twice in the World Series, Lovullo sent up a pinch hitter to start an inning, and Bochy immediately replaced the pitcher before facing a batter that inning. Obviously it worked out for my team, but it was an annoying waste of time.

Amazon is already trying to split off and monetize Prime Video by introducing ads and then charging for an ad free tier. This will almost certainly be something they charge for. I'm fine with that honestly. I was just hoping whatever solution we end up with means none of my money is going to Sinclair, but that might be too much to ask for in the near future.

The Rangers have $111m at stake in this Diamond bullshit, and they haven't done anything of consequence this offseason. I've gotta think that's why. They really need some bullpen help and another starter that can contribute before August.
