I love you. Will look for you in the stands with your Darvish jersey, Juando batting gloves, Sundberg catcher mask and Raffy hypo needles.You're better than this. I love you.Wearing Ranger gear?Sitting 12th row behind the Astros bench for Sat night game. Something called Brad Peacock is pitching so it should be bombs away for the good guys. Plus your boy Brad will be Peacocking so its kinda perfect when you think about it.
That game was a blast. A lot of back and forth with Astros and Ranger fans. Most fun I've had at a game since game 5 of 2011 WS... And the 75 air conditioning was nice too. For being a game with 2 polar opposite teams it was a lot of fun.
Enjoyed the game and the Houston visit. There were 100 hotter chicks at some bar in Midtown called 3rd Floor Bar than in all of San Antonio. Not that this surprises anyone but it was nice to see. Place was easily 60% women and the vast majority were 8's and above.
Who knew I would get to see Andrus hit one out?
Altuve is listed at 5"5" but he may have been measured wearing heels or something.
I like baseballball.
From a WAR/$$ perspective it looks horrid now. Even if he develops himself as a slap hitter/bunt guy it's still bad. WAR doesn't (I think) take into account total bases. Using that the contract still looks bad, but not an outright abortion.
Not really. The Rangers defintely paid top dollar, but if you want to use WAR as the barometer to whether or not the contract is good or bad, it will most likely be a decent contract. Elvis is making $4.8 million this year. 1 WAR is worth about $4.5 million. Elvis has already put up a fWAR of 1.5 this year worth $7.8 million. Going into 2015 he will start making $15 million a year, as you can see beow he has put up a few seasons already where his WAR>$15mm.
Very little chance we see any value in the 15/years. Then again what value will LAA get in the 39 million years of Josh and Pujols. In that context it doesn't look that bad.
I've admitted it was a bit of an overpay, but all Elvis will have to do is avg ~3.3 WAR for Texas to get equal value. I'll gladly take the Rangers side of that bet. He will do better than 3.3 war avg over the $15mm years
This past season 1 WAr cost 6+ million on the open market and that number is only going to go up with all the TV dollars floating around. Given the state of the SS position, if Andrus keeps up his current production the deal will wind up being a bargain for the Rangers.
You can't stop Houston, you can only hope to contain them.Garza giving four back in the 7th makes me a bit angry.
Tom Grieve Fun Fact: After the game tomorrow, Texas will have played Seattle 19 times, and out of those 19 games, will have faced Iwakuma and Felix 10 times. I'm too lazy to verify, but that would explain the record against Seattle a bit.
16-6 with 5 to go. Playing Houston is fun. Can't ask for much more to take care of business against teams you should beat.
A month ago I would have been super happy excited to be tied with Oakland today. But now, it feels like a bit of a letdown. Going to be a fun last month to see how this shakes down. I just really don't want to have to worry about how Balt, NY and Cle are doing in the stupid WC standings.
This stat is ridiculous.I like that stat about Ranger pitching allowing five runs or fewer for 31 straight games. Longest AL streak since 1972.
