And his defense is average at best. Maybe he improves in all those areas, but so far he hasn't shown it.

October 24, 20232 yr Having someone holding a parabolic microphone on the field seems like a bad idea

He's in a virtual 3-way tie for best wRC+ among CF this year https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders/major-league?stats=bat&lg=all&type=8&season=2023&month=0&season1=2023&ind=0&pos=cf&sortcol=17&sortdir=default&qual=350

October 24, 20232 yr Honestly would like to see some moves this off-season, if anything the rangers proved precious records don’t matter, just can’t be afraid to spend some money
October 24, 20232 yr Every inning they threat to score or do score. Gonna be a 15-2 embarrassing blowout in game 7.

And his defense is average at best. Maybe he improves in all those areas, but so far he hasn't shown it. This take is so dumb. Compare that OPS to other CFs. Look at his wRC+. Look at his defensive metrics, which are above average. Oh, and he’s literally shown improvement every single year. Basically, every single thing you said is wrong.
October 24, 20232 yr Yeah, no one is steam rolling this Rangers team.The Phillies will fuck them up. I’ll bet anyone a large sum of money as long as they win their series.
October 24, 20232 yr Just now, David Dennison said: Yeah, no one is steam rolling this Rangers team. Crazy how they really got good over night!!! Guess the pros gives you that opportunity if you have the money
October 24, 20232 yr Tucker has lost himself a lot of money over the last two nights. Also, if we go on to lose tonight, will we be the only team swept at home in a WS (2019) and an ALCS (2023)???
October 24, 20232 yr 1 minute ago, David Dennison said: Yeah, no one is steam rolling this Rangers team. It's a toss-up as always
October 24, 20232 yr damn that was almost a catch, so damn close Can he use that in his next Arbitration Hearing?

October 24, 20232 yr 8 minutes ago, Rockethorn1978 said: That’s the danger. It’s the we need to spend vs the guys we have need to preform. Which risk you going with? I kind of think pretty much everyone has performed mostly like how we should expect them or better with the exception of Tucker. Peña is just not a good hitter. Maldonado’s best use case is leaning into a pitch and then being subbed by a pinch runner. Our bench is Dubon and two minor leaguers. I agree that a new manager offers a huge opportunity to correct who is getting at bats but this whole season has been a reminder of how thin our team is. We don’t have shit in the upper minors so we need to spend. I wasn’t following the thread when France got inserted but he’s a very good example of someone whose “shit doesn’t work in the playoffs”. He doesn’t miss bats and his peripherals are all weak compared to pretty much everyone else available. Just the fact he’s on the NLCS roster is something Luhnow must be smiling about as he sips his mezcal and roots for us to lose.
October 24, 20232 yr Despite how frustrating this series has been, there's not too much wrong that a locked-in Valdez and Tucker wouldn't have cured. More from them and we'd already be in the WS. That said, even if they're great next season, how do we know they won't spaz out again in October?

October 24, 20232 yr The two best decisions I've ever made in my life are : 1) my wife. 2) not taking the opportunity to go to this game

I thought for sure the Dodgers and Braves would be in the NLCS.
October 24, 20232 yr Never in my life did I imagine that I would see the visiting team win all 7 games of a series after 2019.
October 24, 20232 yr Given the Astros issues this year, I'm pleased we made it to the ALCS, nevermind it going to 7. I mean, we could be the Yankees. Lol.
