I absolutely love Bagwell in the booth. “Pence is special” Yep we know what you mean Baggy. Not everyone can walk through a sliding glass door.
If he can approximate what he did last year, and if Peacock switching to the windup leads to more starts like yesterday...
Not sure that is Ranger specific. Rangers are violating Cardinal Rules of Baseball doing stupid ****.
I'm reading the rules on balks, and I can't tell definitively from them whether this Huang is balking...but I think he's balking. I just don't see how you can stand there lifting and pumping your foot with it pulled back partially in wind-up position then go straight into the pitch, and it's not a balk.
It's a balk. Especially when he picks it all the way up off the ground and sets it back down. If this was a closer game I guarantee you Hinch would be talking to the ump.
