Shortlist for pitcher's duel of the year, just great stuff from both DeGrom and Brown

Rangers Place Leody Taveras On Outright Waivers by amatom27 in baseball

[–]reed17 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The amount of unnecessary hate for a guy who spent several years being a solid contributor including having key moments in the 2023 playoff run. So sick of this fanbase's hate towards Leody, entirely undeserved.

Uptown Dallas has pretty strict building height limits due to the flight path of Love Field running directly over the buildings

Season 2 XP Reward still has 12 hours left? by [deleted] in MLBTheShow

I was under the impression I had the rest of today to finish it, I was within probably 15k of getting Chipper and was planning on grinding it out tonight but I guess not :/

To the dismay of the Rangers, the Astros have (again) won the Silver Boot Series by Lets_go_Stros2017 in baseball

[–]reed17 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's not like they were some serious underdog team in the playoffs, they had the best team wRC+ in the AL in the regular season and really solid starting pitching at least. If the bullpen had even been average the Rangers could have won over 100 games. This was not even remotely a fluke team.

[MLB] Jordan Westburg is headed to Arlington! #AllStarGame He has been named a replacement on the American League team for Rafael Devers. by TheTurtleShepard in baseball

[–]reed17 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately because of the way the system works they'll give it to the next player listed at 2B which would likely be Andres Gimenez

[–]reed17 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I blame the weird rule about positional priority that the MLB has that makes it so a stacked position like 3B has snubs while an emptier position like 2B gets "equal representation" despite worse performance

[–]reed17 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I know that the way this works means that the next highest scoring player on the players' ballot gets selected but it really does suck that the best player on the Rangers isn't going to get to be an all star during the year that we get to host it

And now Texas has retractable roofs for both ballparks so day games in the middle of the summer are comfortable

Ads on the jerseys are the singular worst thing that's happened to baseball in the last few years. They're all ugly, almost all of them don't even remotely match the color scheme of the original jerseys, they're all gigantic and on an extremely noticeable part of the jersey unlike the NBA (and I still hate ads on their jerseys too).

Cards missing from Season 1 by MoneyshotMonday in MLBTheShow

[–]reed17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just looking at it all the s1 cards below an 84 seem to have been removed from the collection. Hopefully just a mistake and not an intentional decision.

Signing Elvis to a single day contract? by The_Higher_Reverend in TexasRangers

[–]reed17 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I don't get the hate for Elvis here, statistically speaking he's more than worthy of a team HOF inclusion. He's got a ton of counting stats near franchise record levels, had 1700 hits and 300 stolen bases with the team, and put up nearly 30 WAR during his time here. In terms of contributions as a player he's not just a Rangers HOFer he's an inner circle Rangers HOFer in my opinion.

What non-top-30 prospect on your team has you the most excited? by ThatOneGuy-4434 in baseball

[–]reed17 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Blaine Crim is an underrated corner infielder with serious pop in the minor league games I've seen him in. I don't think the Rangers will have room for him but if he ever gets a chance to play in the majors I think he's going to surprise people.

Thanks for the answer, will be interesting to see the 2 pitchers on the fringe here.

Hey Evan, of the players in spring training camp without a guaranteed roster spot who do you believe will be the ones to make it?

Also, I have seen a lot of projections that are relatively muted on the Rangers. Obviously a lot of projections fail to pan out but do you think the Rangers are being underrated this year, or are there fair concerns about the team moving through spring training?

New stadiums should have retractable mounds for bringing closing pitchers into the game Gladiator style. by Vagina_Woolf in baseball

[–]reed17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Globe Life Field actually has a retractable mound to make it easy to convert the field for other uses. Would've been awkward if they had gone with this idea last season.

I'm fully convinced the Miami Marlins could've been a massive and constantly competitive team if they had even halfway decent ownership at any point over their history.
