    Everyone. Just no one predicted this without Bregman, Yordan and Alvarez. Imagine having a better record than the Dodgers. That would be nuts.

    On a similar note, we’ve lost several players that were sold to us as the leader holding everything together! I’m exaggerating a bit but that’s all I kept hearing when Correa and Bregman left. To a lesser extent, Maldy as well.

    Jeremy Pena is on pace for a 9.5 WAR.

    Jeremy Pena will not be part of the AL All Star team.

    An adjective that should be selectively used, but in this case that indeed was a prodigious home run.

    it's been a problems for years and it will continue to be a problem. the upper deck folks suffer the most.

    to think Rangers used to play in a non-roof ballpark. idiots

    Trammel's arm is either as weak as Jake's or he wasn't trying at all making a strong throw to the infield. Ball bounced 3x to the cutoff man.

    They didn’t have to open the roof, even in the heat of summer, so that the grass can get enough direct sunlight to be viable.
