Lol

Also, Beau Brieske getting attention from Pitching Ninja... did not see that coming lol

Fantastic outing for Brieske... his third in a row against a top-flight offense

CJ Nitkowski talking about how he's surprised the Tigers don't have someone up. Do a little advanced research guy... the bullpen has been kinda taxed lately lol

Wrong part of the yard Javy!

Brieske may be the only Tiger playing with passion at this point... love the effort

Sounds like they should have discussed ignoring Coolbaugh at their "players only" meeting lol

The comeback kids unite! lol

CJ Nitkowski does color for the Rangers. He's as bad in the booth as he was on the mound lol

Its too bad Beau Brieske can't hit lol

Not sure who it was, but the idea that the Mud Hens leave Riley in Woostah and let him join the team in Boston had better be right. He's close enough

He only needs 7 more weeks now lol

5 everyday players so far

Erie is the MILB free game... thinking about availing myself of that one instead lol

Feels like he's been around so long that it's easy to forget that he's only 22.... similar to Wenceel in that regard. Hopefully he keeps it up.

"Fifth".... "Fifth".... "Fifth"....

He should talk to Kevin M....

Yes. And could you have imagined the shit show from the fanbase had they not? That's the other thing this debate misses: I've seen comments (not necessarily here, but on SM) to the effect of that we would have been better off not signing any of them over signing Baez, but when you go back in time to that moment after the offseason, the fan base would not have tolerated no signing. The anger would be as high as it is now.

I remember a lot of comments before the lockout that basically were assumptions that Correa was gonna get a Lindor deal this offseason, which he did not. In general, I think it's a pretty good deal for both parties involved, but the idea that people had the foresight that kinda deal could or would happen is a bit much based on my recollection of the offseason. When news of it broke, it was a shock to just about everyone, including some on this board. Forgive me for not laying that particular criticism at Al, that he didn't have the foresight to know that Minnesota would come in with an incentives laden deal to allow Correa another bite at the apple. Avila is a terrible GM and deserves to be fired, but I didn't have much of a problem with how he handled this offseason. I'm not gonna do revisionist history and complain after the fact.

Seager will look ugly in year 8 of that contract. But that's not gonna matter to the Rangers

Just ran first to third on a stolen base/throwing error. Still eight weeks out tho

Yep, the Angels would be an appealing job.

I suspect the rest of the league will take a more holistic view of his record. Accounting for whole record plus how things ended in Houston.
