- Michael Young on Adrian Beltre's retirement: "Whatta ride. Now somebody go to Elvis’ house and get him out of the fetal position." #Rangers
- Pretty interesting to listen to Joel Wolfe, agent for Roki Sasaki. Wolfe says that a smaller market with a smaller media pool might be more to Sasaki’s liking. He also said that Sasaki doesn’t need a team with a Japanese mentor or be on the West Coast.
- Marcus Semien had a great excuse for missing the #Rangers’ workouts Thursday and Friday: His wife had a baby girl.
- #Rangers fans are so delirious with the 12 runs scored tonight that a "Fire Nico" chant has broken out at Globe Life Field.
- #Rangers majority owner Ray Davis permitted the Rangers to go over the luxury-tax threshold to get help at the trade deadline. So, good.
- The thrill, and I mean thrill, of pitchers fielding practice. #Rangers
00:00 - Nathan Eovaldi said he is pain-free after dialing up the intensity over 40 throws at 75 feet. Just needs to be built back up. #Rangers
- Adolis Garcia, without prompting, says his goal is to hit 50 homers this season. He likes the changes he made to his swing and said his knees are strong. #Rangers
- Max Scherzer says he will throw a sim game tomorrow to see how many pitches he can build to. He said his arm felt normal today.
- As we wonder why Chris Woodward and Andrew Benintendi were ejected, here's the real stumper: How does Angel Hernandez continue to be an MLB umpire?
- BTW, Travis Jankowski said that he learned around noon that no one had claimed and that #Rangers are planning to keep him on the roster. He's as happy about that as this kid is to get his autograph.This kiddos smile says it all.
- George W. Bush will throw out the first pitch before Game 1 of the World Series. Pudge Rodriguez will catch it. Adrian Beltre gets Game 2 to Fergie Jenkins.
