The Ryan Express has Left the Station!


I'm not wanting to get involved in the JD vs. Nolan conversation. Nor am I wanting to get into the "As the Ballpark Turns" drama that the media is propagating. I'm a huge Nolan Fan and will be very sad to see him go! I'm happy what Nolan has brought to this team in the almost 6 seasons he served. He was a credible leader to an organization that needed a someone for the fans to look to. 
With that said, I'm also a JD fan! I love stats and the nerdy sabermetricians who have a different way of looking at a sport with very deep roots in how it should be viewed. 

What I'm not a fan of...
The local radio media and the drama story they love to fuel. Even if there is a giant JD vs Nolan battle, should that really be that shocking. Leaders in organizations disagree all the time - Shocker!  Making this the epic power struggle and secret conspiracy is just ridiculous. We should be celebrating what Nolan has done, but instead the local radio folks are creating a juicy story filled with drama, betrayal, and heartbreak for the DFW metroplex to devour. 

I think the proof will be in the off-season. JD has a good track record. If he can land some great players and have, basically, a complete opposite of last years off season, I think we will all get over this pretty quickly. 

Let's celebrate the Ryan Express and give him a great farewell! 
I hope he still comes to some games and sits with W! 
I'd imagine the man still loves baseball and the Rangers!

GO RANGERS 2014!!!

Rangers Wildcard Standings

Rangers have had a 5 game winning streak keeping them in the running for the Wildcard. Unfortunately, Cleveland has had their own winning streak of 8 games.
With two more games to go, the Rangers must win both and have the Rays or Indians lose one of their next games to enter a tie-breaker.

It's great to see what the Rangers have put together this past week to still be in the running. The passion and drive has been nice to watch in contrast to the rest of September. I believe both qualities have been there the entire time, but it's nice to see them pay off with some wins!

Whatever happens today and tomorrow, it's been fun to watch, and GO RANGERS!

Instant Replay Video Review in 2014

Bud Selig announced today there will be video review of more plays and ability for managers to challenge an umps call in 2014. This will still be voted on by owners in November.

How it is proposed to work


  • Managers will get 1 Challenge from the 1st to the 6th inning.
  • Managers will get 2 Challenges from the 7th until the end of the game. 
  • Managers will file the challenge with the crew chief or home plate ump. 
  • Managers can only challenge reviewable plays: 89 percent of all total plays.
  • Managers can still argue non-reviewable plays: balls, strikes, hit by pitch, ruling of a dead ball.
  • Managers do not keep challenges not used in the 1st through 6th
  • Managers keep the their 1 challenge if the win it. 
  • Challenges will be reviewed and ruled by MLB headquarters in New York City, not umps.
  • The current home run challenge is included.
  • Challenges will take 1 minute and 15 seconds
  

Elvis being traded? or How do Waivers Work?


This morning it was announced that Elvis Andrus had cleared waivers. After the announcement, there was a short twitter fallout wondering if the Rangers' intention was to trade Elvis or if he had been traded. Prior to this season, Elvis signed a extension to his contract for $120 million over 8 years with an opt-out clause in 2018 & 2019. Elvis has not been traded and is very unlikely to be traded, but this is a great time to explain the waivers process.  

Things to know about trades and waivers:

After the trade deadline of July 31st, teams have to place a player on waivers for that player to be trade eligible. Most player's who are able to be traded are placed on revocable waivers at this time.
The reason for this is to be able to accept trade offers for a player past the trade deadline. The team could have zero intention in trading the player, but still place on waivers to be able to listen to offers. 

What would have happened next if a team or teams had claimed Elvis on waivers:
  •  In the case of multiple teams claiming a player, the team with the worse record in the player's current league gets to claim him. 
  • If claimed, the Rangers can: 
    • Work a trade within 2 business days
    • Rescind the request and keep Elvis (cancels the waiver)
    • Do not respond and simply allow the team who claimed him to take over his current contract and acquire him on their roster. 
  • If claimed, and the Rangers rescind the request, the Rangers would not be able to place him on waivers again without it being irrevocable and any team claiming him would acquire him. 
  • If not claimed within 3 days, he would clear waivers and could be traded or released as the Rangers saw fit.

With all of that said, it means nothing. Before the trade deadline of July 31st, the front office can negotiate any trade with any team without having to place the player on waivers first.
The Rangers are simply doing what we see occur with most other players under contract past the trade deadline. It just allows the Rangers to be able to listen to offers, that they would not be able to if players were not placed on waivers.
