Those numbers ain’t right.  The rangers have 158 wins over the past 2 seasons

That's the prior 2 full seasons, 2021 and 2022.

Ahhh.  Didn’t see that.  when it said “last two years” I’m thinking this season and last season. Should read “prior two seasons”  I stand corrected

Anyone with a non-Waco brain would deduce that's how fucking awful the two WS teams were prior to this season, but whatever. 

Expand  

Anyone that’s ever read a graph with fucking dated context would deduce that it’s a shitty graph with shitty verbiage.  And it’s well documented how shitty they both were prior to this season, which is why it should say “Prior two seasons”.   

but go ahead thread police boi.    Be a fucktard all you want

Relax Waco, we know Baseball-Reference is new to some, it's okay you couldn't figure it out. 
 
Moving on, their park is pretty damn big.

It’s also downtown, or what suffices for downtown in Phoenix, like a ballpark should be. Do they still have the swimming pool in the OF?

It's really one of my favorite ballparks.  And I don't really have a great reason for that.  Maybe it's just that the air conditioning is so damned welcome after being outside for more than 30 seconds in the summer on Phoenix. 

But yeah--the location is good; the sightlines are actually really good; the outfield is kind of set up in a way that you can almost fool yourself into forgetting that you're in a dome.

If you did a parlay for $100….$183,500

1750-1

 

Expand  

That doesn't seem right. The opening odds in late February had us +4500 - +5000 and Arizona +10000. The parlay for that should be ~4500 to 1 - not 1750. 

Maybe they don't let you straight parlay long odds futures like that - but 4500 to 1 is a better reflection of the actual odds of it happening according to Vegas.

I saw some odds at +5000 (Ari) and +3500(Tex), so that's what I calculated.

I was cleaning out a bunch of old junk and I just found this old print from one of the few Rangers games I was able to photograph. I wish I could remember the year I'm gonna have to try to find the negative and see if I can get a decent scan of it.

Since that game is at Arlington Stadium, and that pretty damn sure looks like Benji Gil playing short, it would have to have been later in the '93 season.

Think that's earlier than '93, Kenny was cleaned up on all his baseball cards that year. Benji wore #22 in '93, that looks like a single-digit. 

Expand  

Very well could be.  Maybe '90-91ish (obviously Gil didn't get there til late '93) and the person is so fuzzy it's hard to tell.  Just positing a guess.

i think that's 1993, that's the arlington stadium patch on kenny's left arm we wore that year before we moved into the temple. at first glance i didn't think that was benji gil, thought it was mario diaz. but mario diaz in person is quite short which leads me to think that's benji though i remember him being skinnier at that point of his career.

that was a night game though

That is a late sun. Arlington stadium was orientated the same as the Temple. Sun set perpendicular(ish) to first base line.

Yep.  And it wasn't nearly as tall.  A 7:05 start in June would still have the pitcher in the sun early on the game.

I just was looking at Kenny's old stats and saw he had like 6 complete games for the Rangers one year and thought damn, that's a ton. 

Then looked at 93 and Kevin Brown had 12 CGs. 12 out of 34 starts. And he didn't even lead the league -- Finley had 13 out of 35 starts.

This year the MLB leader in CGs was 3 - shared by Alcantara in Miami and Lyles at KC.

In 1993 there were about 56 pitchers with 3 or more CGs.

Think that’s probably Manny Lee; he played 72 at SS in 1993 and wore #2….

In case anyone actually wanted to buy that above posted shirt. I saw someone share it on Facebook. No idea who the people are who sponsor this site and can't vouch for them in any fashion. Just thought the shirt looked pretty cool.

Im not usually a big fan of shirts with a bunch of shit on the front but the back of that shirt is badass enough to make me not care…
