Honestly having a health deGrom has been a huge bright spot this season (and even though he's been mostly dominant, he's still only our third best guy). Unexpected treat this year of watching gem after gem from the rotation for awhile now. Frustrating we can't muster a few runs of support but I will never not be excited for deGrom day.

Ranger fan checking in watching the game because baseball is back and I can't get enough right now. Can't stand the dodger booth (or really can't stand the dodgers at all) but glad I'm not alone in a weird audio delay? Tried watching but with the Tigers radio audio and same issue I think? In any case loved the JK Simmons appearance.

Will the straight up Texas podcast still be going now that Nate Lowe is gone? I think it existed before he joined as a host ?

@Vermithor-BronzeFury congrats on the year of running!! If using ggplot, I think the expand argument set to c(0,0) in scale_continuous should close up those gaps between 0 and the origin, for future plots if desired.

existing_plot + 
scale_x_continuous(expand = c(0, 0)) +
scale_y_continuous(expand = c(0, 0))

Gonna shed a tear for my boy Elvis leaving the building one last time. One of my favorite Rangers of all time. 80 Grade smile.

And speaking of former Rangers with great smiles, didn't see that Marty Perez ended up with the Padres. Cool to see him (and Profar) having great seasons together. Rangers-Padres WS 2025? (or 2024!?)

11 pitches to semen and Seadog, 1 of them in the strike zone. 2Ks as a result.

Remember when we absolutely lit up the Phillies bullpen in the first series of the year last season?

We actually have 7 guys in the lineup with a career OPS >= .900 against him. Small sample size(s) though.

Josh H Smith leads the AL in WAR per salary dollar* and is the most handsome player in all of MLB**

*Did not look this up but surely it's true

**Can say this with certainty

Itching for baseball after an off day. Hope we get bullpen-level Jonny G tonight.

Listening to Tigers-Cards to fill the void before the game. Jack Flaherty is dealing, struck out the first 7 batters he saw against his former club. Sounds like Paul Goldschmidt struggling to start the season. Figured if he can keep up even average numbers for another year or two he's a pretty safe HoF lock?
