wtlobos Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Kelley is a good pick up for the bullpen. Can’t complain with with a sub 3 era. Don't know how I feel about retiring Beltre’s number. It seems a bit rushed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach Rab Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 The biggest news from Rangers camp this offseason is that the new ballpark will use artificial grass and turf... DFW is outraged... but I think I might like it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topher805 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 As many games played inside there will be, artificial turf will be necessary. Wont get enough sun to maintain the grass like needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they enjoyed melting in July while getting beat 9-0... I prefer to take my beatdown with turf and air conditioning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney Posted February 6, 2019 Author Share Posted February 6, 2019 Rangers could come out and announce free Bud Light after the seventh inning stretch and certain Ranger fans would gripe that it wasn’t Miller Lite instead. They are just being difficult for the sake of being difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when they opened NRG and the grass kept dying because not enough sun. Now the new Rangers ballpark will have a larger roof, much like Minute Maid, and the grass could hold up, but they can take the maintenance money for field upkeep and put it into getting some better players. Instead of suffering through a 9-0 beatdown, maybe it can be something like 7-2... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TxFight Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 I am pleased with how the offseason has progressed. I think the front office has done a good job of 1) recognizing there was a problem 2) setting out a plan to fix the problem and 3) not throwing the plan to the side at the first chance. I also really like the hire of the new hitting coach/instructor whatever his title is. He's had some success and there is still a ton of potential with all the young guns in the lineup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoney Posted February 10, 2019 Author Share Posted February 10, 2019 Do you think the dome and AC will finally solve the free agent issue? All my life I’ve heard we can’t get a ace to come to Texas because of the heat. We could trade for a Cliff Lee but he wasn’t sticking around.

Their grass has struggled. And from reading all the info from the Ranger's research...alot of retractable roof stadiums may look like they have good grass to the fans, but once you get down on the playing surface, it can be quite uneven at times.

Not to mention the upkeep it takes. And lemme tell you, those grounds crew guys get paid next to nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
