I think Alavarez at the 2 slot is a failure. He's our best extra base guy. You want as many people on base as possible. With Pena showing some...
Looking at his statcast numbers, his pitches do not move more than average. The changeup actually has less horizontal movement than most. He's...
Yeah, but the split finger was nasty in itself just like Javier's fastball. His changeup is only as good as how it looks compared to his fastball....
That changeup is filthy compared to his fastball. His fastball is at the top of the zone or above the zone and the changeup ends up at the bottom...
Blanco is giving me 22 Javier vibes. He has a standard pitch that behaves totally different from other pitcher in the league. There is almost a 9...
You let Blanco go one more inning and then you bring in Abreu, Pressly, and Hader and hope for the best.
He's for real so far. That change-up is bamboozling hitters like Javiers fast ball 2 season a go. It must look just like his fastball
Blanco has to be close to the record of no hit innings to start a season, right?
He's lost 2 mph since 2022. I don't know what is up.
Well that escalated quickly.
I don't think there are confirmed spots for any of them other than Verlander. Blanco and France could easily cement their spot by the time these...
Even though we got swept by that Yankees, there things that make me optimistic. We had lots of offense even with Alvarez and Bregman being...
I agree with all of it. Just an observation. I just think we should put Diaz where Bregman is and Bregman behind Chas until things settle down
Rangers don't even make the playoffs with Diaz playing regularly. They are only there by a game.
Until last night, Alvarez, Bregman and Abreu were horrible at the plate. You aren't going to score a lot of runs when every your 2, 4, 6 is...
He actually needs to take Bregmans spot in the lineup at 4 if he keeps doing what he is doing. Make teams go through the gauntlet of Altuve ,...
He obviously sees the ball really well. Maybe he can see which pitches are are working well from a batters perspective.
We are third in team batting average and I'm pretty sure we are first in starting rotation ERA, but somehow we keep losing with the three best...
I don't think he knows all the batters but I think he knows his pitchers really well. He calls stuff that they can throw successfully
Why does Bregman have to always stink up the joint in the beginning of the season..
