Shawn McFarland offers a few observations from Texas Rangers camp yesterday, including some players beginning to filter out for the World Baseball Classic.
Jeff Wilson writes that it was a busy day yesterday with Nathan Eovaldi getting in some work in on the back fields.
Zach Crizer writes about the things that actually matter for the Rangers this month as they try to make their time in Surprise a success.
McFarland notes that Brandon Nimmo and Jacob deGrom are expected to make their spring debuts against WBC Team Brazil on Wednesday.
And, yeah, Ray Davis and the Rangers signaled their values by resurrecting a racist statue that was removed from Love Field and that no one asked to be returned to prop up at the door as a greeter at his drab stadium.
If you even plan to attend games — which I don’t know why you would after Davis apparently spent more of his offseason recruiting monuments to the dubious past of the team’s namesake than trying to make the club a winner while slashing payroll — more often than what you will see when you pass the gates will be the view as you walk around the concourse. From there, you will see the statue in all the embarrassing reverence it deserves:
Dicks out for Ray, and have a nice day!
