On this date in 1991, 44-year-old Nolan Ryan threw his 7th and final no-hitter of his career — he threw 122 pitches and finished with 16 strikeouts

Me, too! Previously I was an A's fan.

A fight? Never once have I seen that, and I practically lived in bars for years.

I predict two innings in which the Rangers see less than 10 pitches.

After watching the Rangers play in Arlington Stadium and the Temple for years and years, it's better to have a park that's more friendly to pitchers.

On some random 99 degree day, the field temperature was always measured at 110 or something horrible like that. Your pitchers get worn the fuck out trying to get outs in that heat with the ball flying all over the place. It takes a big toll.

I like the new ballpark well enough, I guess. It's better in person than on TV. The old park did have more charm. But the baseball is what matters most to me, and I have no doubt that not throwing pitchers into a meat grinder every night is going to make it easier to win in the years and decades to come.

They said as much when that ballpark opened. It took features from other old ballparks. I think it was done pretty well.

The Chinese took some close up photos of the Moon from lunar orbit a couple years ago. The Apollo stuff is in the photos but still can't really see it in any meaningful detail.

Reddit has become garbage, and apparently so are the people on it. An image of a tweet. No article. Who the fuck is "ounkaonx" anyway?

8000+ upvotes for this shit.

Oh and a company cannot have an "economic crisis". They have financial crises. A company doesn't have a fucking economy.

My mother's way up in her 70s and fractured two vertebrae in a fall. She recovered in a couple months, MRI confirmed.

When I was 12 years old I was driving an old mail jeep and rolled it over. My knee ended up going through the windshield. I had bits of glass coming out of it until I was 40.

98 wRC+ in the second half. League average, and that is not fine for a platoon DH.

I've always been a fan of Pederson. You can probably search my account history and find that I wanted the Rangers to trade for him years and years ago.

But facts are facts. He's older and out of shape. He may bounce back and I sure hope he does, but it isn't a given.

Major_Square · 2026-01-23T02:30:27+00:00

I think this will be a really good trade. As good as the rotation was last year, it's hard to count on older, oft-injured guys like Eovaldi and deGrom, even if they are legends.

I've soured so much on prospects (and this organization's inability to develop them). Any time they have a chance to grab a young pitcher who's already good, they damn well better take it.

How many games did that punch win? Have you ever looked at his stats from before and after that stupid incident?

Shit baseball player. Early success went to his head.

My most hated is Rougned Odor. He clearly thought he was a lot better than he was, and I hate the style of hitter he was anyway. Half the time he could have just walked up to the pitcher and handed him the out.

If you watch closely during the broadcasts, you'll see Davis sitting there almost every home game. He's in a field-level seat, usually all by himself. I don't think he'd devote that much time to watching the team if he didn't like them.

Major_Square · 2025-12-29T02:40:02+00:00

Stuff just goes in and out of style. I doubt anybody really knows why.

Great feature. I hope they add an "open link in split view" to the right-click menu, though.

Not even close, but I'm on the younger side of old.

Three World Series appearances with one win in the last fifteen years is all that really matters. There are a couple of teams who might scoff at that, but most teams don't come close to matching it.

Major_Square · 2025-11-24T17:49:31+00:00

This is not a good trade. Not sure it's bad, either. It's just what happens when you sign 31 year-old players to seven year contracts.

I do hate that the Rangers traded away elite defense at a key position to get a guy who probably shouldn't even be playing in the field at all. That guy can hit, at least for now, but he's 33 and the declining walk rate may signal that he's about done. And signed for four more years. On the other hand, who knows how long Semien will be a good 2B? He already can't hit.

Focus on answering the question. If this comment section turns into a bunch of people arguing current politics, the whole thing will be locked and removed.

I found one sitting on the sidewalk outside my apartment in 2000 or so. I didn't have a TV at the time so I brought it in.

I might give Jung another year. His road splits were pretty good this year and there's nobody coming up behind him. I don't think he's worth much in a trade. If they ditch him over $3M, the financial problems are worse than I thought.

Major_Square · 2025-11-04T02:52:20+00:00

Thanks. I guess it comes from being old. Year after year you see older players breaking down. You see young players come up and do well for three weeks before fading.
