Ranger's fancy new ball park, Globe Life Field.

 

 

 

Jason Owens of Yahoo Sports in the US added: “It looks like a roasting pan. One of those disposable aluminium pans you buy for a Thanksgiving turkey. Except it’s flipped upside down.”

The project cost for Globe Life Field is approximately $1.2 billion. The master agreement for this public-private partnership calls for a 50-50 split between the Texas Rangers and the City of Arlington, with the City’s financial contribution capped at $500 million. The City’s contribution be will funded by a ½ cent sales tax, 2% hotel tax, and a 5% car rental tax. The Texas Rangers’ original 30-year lease on the City-owned Globe Life Park in Arlington was set to end in 2024. With the new master agreement, the Rangers’ partnership with Arlington extends until January 1, 2054.

No Leody Taveras

[Stangstag]

Lourdes is maybe battling some kind of injury?? In yesterday's game he was removed for Davis in the 9th (instead of Teo) and in the dugout he seemed to be showing Guerrero a spot on his back/shoulder that was sore?

 

Hopefully this is nothing more than a little rest day for him

Globe and Life park has sold out crowd of over 40K people in attendance.

 

Red flags?

Skydome opened over 30 years ago, and has a better designed roof. The f***, Rangers?

It's basically a Costco / Home Depot with a retractable roof.

[Stangstag]

Also this new rangers park has artificial turf

 

Why

I'm really enjoying these high quality GDT's.

 

LETS f***ING GO BLUEJAYS

[Jays24]

Man, keeping a 4th OFer is paying huge dividends. We'll probably always have someone out of the lineup or needing a day off.

Just some more on this:

 

The average of those 9 projected wRC+ numbers is 77.2 (not the most scientific thing to do, I know)

 

 

Jonathan Davis' projected wRC+ is 75

 

Joe Panik - 85

 

Santiago Espinal - 75

The Texas Tank is strong for Elijah Green.

Sooo... how is it going to feel seeing a packed stadium in Texas. I think the fans don't even need to provide proof that they've been vaccinated. I can see players not going after balls nears the stands lol.

As a viewer, it'll be awesome. As for the players, I think most are just happy for things to be going back to normal.

They're only allowing 100% capacity today and then moving back to a reduced capacity with seating in pods.

You better update it with the starting lineups!

[BlueRocky]

10% of the crowd are wearing masks and that’s a generous number.

[Slade]

What are the odds some players test positive for covid after this series?

[gruber92]

What's with this amateurish camera angle? We need a little zoom also ffs.

[Abomination]

Very generous.

Ya I have no clue what the lineups are since I cannot look at other posts during the game. Vote to ban the OP lol.

Oh nice... don't give a f*** about covid for one game and then pretend to care the day after lol.

[Jonn]

Nobody in the stands is even wearing a mask lmao.

[BlueRocky]

Nice Bo
