My Rangers org repository now has a bunch of Spring Training info for pitchers: last outing summary, general notes, a host of basic and Statcast data (strike rates, chase rates, contact rates and quality, pitch velos). See "26pitchers" tab in rangers.scottlucas.com/tr/org.htm. Will do hitters next.
Scenes from last night's homeless count, in the drainage canals beneath Harry Hines and behind a NW Dallas convenience store. We met a lot of people; here are some of their stories. Most were determined to stay in their tents despite the approaching ice storm.

There isn’t a number for the amount of pitchers, of all shapes, sizes and roles, I’d like the Rangers to sign this offseason. Sign eleventy billion of them. Come one, come all. (Sorry we ain’t got TV money though!)
Just jumping into the pretty pool here at Bluesky to remind y’all that Wyatt Langford is super good and has a skill set that tends to age very well. And Kumar Rocker is also very good, and his injury history will always be a bit terrifying.

Good to hear. I don’t have many sub-60 clips.
Wait. Videos are restricted to 60 seconds over here? That might only be 2 or 3 Alejandro Rosario splitters. Is there some dorky tech billionaire I can throw a few ducats for longer clip privileges?
