@TexasSurgeon @DPYoungblood @Hicks45J He has $35 million reasons to be pressured. You make that type of money. You better produce.

@DPYoungblood @Hicks45J He has a lot of pressure on him. Give the man a chance to work out of the slump. He always has previously. Look what Jung is doing now after everybody’s wanted to run him out of here. It’s frustrating for us. But it is way more frustrating for them.

Corey Seager will always be remembered fondly for his contributions to the 2023 run. But I'm not sure how you build a winning culture with a cornerstone who so rarely looks like he even enjoys playing baseball. He looks like he's burdened to be out there most nights.

@RightOnRangers He has won that job. Hopefully, Langford can get back and go on a roll. Still need Seager to get it going. Man a lot of what if’s

This team feels close to unstoppable when they score first. Also, I don’t think Ezequiel Duran is planning on giving up 2B any time soon.

@lady_valor_07 20% which used to be top performance is $120. You’re not even in the ball park.

We went to a dinner as a group and had a $500 bill. We tipped $40. We were happy we can be able to give our server something, but her reaction was the opposite. She told us she assumed we're going to give her at least $120. When we asked for the manager, she said she was just joking, but she wasn't smiling at all. Idk, but is $40 tip enough for $500 bill? I just feel like expecting $120 is not realistic. ~Lea Robertson

@Rangers__Nation It’s the norm. Getting Langford back will help because it’s means Duran slots in at 2nd, but they still need some more bats.

After dropping five of their last seven, Texas now finds themselves two games back of the A’s for first place in the AL West. How confident are you in the Rangers’ ability to bounce back as they head into back-to-back series against first-place clubs in the Yankees and Cubs?

Overprotected kids become unprepared adults. Dawn Staley said it. And every parent needs to hear it. Here's what parents get wrong about raising resilient kids. [THREAD]🧵

@RightOnRangers Sadly, Bochy always said that defense is the only part of the game that can be there consistently. Now it’s a wreck.

Absolutely no one needs to be defending this defense after tonight. It’s completely embarrassing that Jack Leiter has to eat 5 ER and a loss in that gem of a start. • The Burger misplay had a .250 xBA. Easy double play and inning ender. • The Smith misplay had a .180 xBA. Also would have ended the inning. This isn’t JV baseball. It’s the major leagues. The offense didn’t improve enough this season for the defense to go from best in the league to middle of the pack. Both plays HAVE to be made to keep this game at a two-run deficit.

There are so many fascinating stories from 2000-09, but this one kicked off the Mike Leach era.

@educator4ever36 There is no longer Gen Ed classes. It is now inclusion. They use to be separate. I have a class of 28. 10 are sped classified. This does not include 504.

This teacher says what schools won’t tell you. Unless your child is in advanced content or lucky enough not to be in an inclusion class, the rigor of general education has disappeared in favor of the special education students. I do not blame the teachers for this. I do not blame the special education students for this. No one benefits. How long will we keep this charade going?

Great job by the young pup!

Came in with bases loaded against Wakeland got final 3 outs on 7 pitches. We also won game 2 and on to the next round

Jimmy Johnson shares the really interesting backstory of Leon Lett's infamous gaffe against the Dolphins on Thanksgiving 1993 in the snow. Sheds new meaning on the play.

@AdolisMuse One is significantly younger and cheaper.

If I speak I'll get in trouble 🙂‍↔️

Congratulations to @colehutson22 from @TexasFootball for getting a rookie minicamp invite for the Cowboys and the Browns! We're proud of the hard work you've put in over the years to get to where you are now💪📷 #RaccoonsvsEverybody

@Seth_3773 I have another for you. Runners on which outs field ump on LF side of 2nd. Hitter check swings HP immediately asks for appeal at field ump who rings him up. No angle whatsoever. We’re even told that we cannot appeal that because of his positioning.

Conversation with the home plate umpire tonight: Situation, I’m having my guy bunt with two strikes. I want him to get the bunt down he needs experience doing it. Misses the bunt, hits off the catchers glove, hits umpire, goes to backstop. Batter advances to first runner to second. Other coach challenges saying he foul tipped it. Home plate said no he didn’t, but goes to ask the other umpire who is next to second base anyway. Overturned, ump at second said he did tip it, he heard it. First off BS… no chance… just a call to get the out and move the game, I’m not arguing or asking him because it’s so crazy I’m just not going to deal with it. If you know you know. My issue is with home plate. Now, at no point am I arguing or yelling, it’s all just a conversation. I don’t embarrass him or anything. I tell him, you told me you had it, why even defer to the other umpire you’re right there. He goes “he asked me to ask him and I’m going to go with what he calls.” I go, you’re right there…just tell him I got the call. I then say very nicely, “hey man, I don’t know how long you have been doing this, but not everybody is gonna be as nice as me. In a close game or bigger game somebody’s gonna jump down your throat because you’re supposed to make this call, especially when you tell me you have it.” Again, very casual conversation…. But you have to make that call… you’re behind the plate you’re asking someone 100 feet away…

Some of my hits from this past week, going 4/7 with 2 walks 4 singles 1 advancing to 2nd on error @hankcasey26 @FiveToolTexas @RaccoonBaseball @Bobby_BMFB

@coachvint Let’s not forget that he was a Minnesota Twin as well.

Don’t forget that Alvin Mack started college as a walk-on receiver at Texas State before entering the portal and transferring to ESU where he became an all-American linebacker.

Under utilized pick while looking in for signals. Base runner made the mistake of briefly taking his eyes off the pitcher & looking back at the base.
