Monty might be pitching in the playoffs this season, but it won't be for the Dbacks
Why not? The D-Backs are solid. They are super young and were way ahead of schedule last year. They have a legit ace and a bunch of young pitchers who are highly rated and now Monty. Their lineup with Marte-Carroll-Moreno-Walker-Gurriel-Thomas-Rivera is really good. They signed some experienced vets in Pederson and Grichuk this offseason. They still have Sewald from their trade with the Mariners. Mantiply was an All Star 2 years ago but was actually bad last year. Imagine if he has a bullpen bounce back.

They are set for this year and a long time.

Edit: Also Carroll, Moreno, and Thomas were all born in a year that starts with a 2 lol.

Although this might get lost with the switch over to the regular season thread tomorrow, figured I would share these for those that don't follow the Rangers on X. Pretty cool.

SIAP.

Wow some of y'all are really overreacting to the jersey patch. Allow me to direct to other teams with a jersey patch.

Yes, lots of teams are doing it. Yes, it's part of modern baseball. Yes, the Rangers' patch looks better than some others.

Still think it sucks in principle. JMO

It's jersey advertising. It looks like ***** But if it helps sign free agents then I'll deal.

That's a big-ass patch.
It's a big ass patch that probably comes with a big-ass sponsorship check. At least the colors match. I have a way bigger issue with the ass cheek quality of uniforms that they are getting now, and the complete lack of professionalism associated with it. Very Bush League imo.

I gotta say, Quikrete is probably the funniest one to me. Living on our ranch growing up, we'd use quikrete a lot when building fences.

So we have this patch to thank for a possible 5th starter for the first half the season and primarily long reliever? Thanks Energy Transfer!

Sponsors start sponsoring specific players... So when a player sucks, we all stop buying Penzoil Motor Oil.

It's about time the pros started getting in on this NIL action.

Damn the Kansas City royals love our scraps.

I still remember when both the orioles and Yankees couldn't wait to get their hands on our cast offs.

Pretty sure I'm in the minority on this, but I don't think the patch looks all that bad TBH. I get the whole baseball tradition & "purity" aspect of it, but this is a league wide thing now. It's actually subdued and blends in with the overall uniform much better than it might have with a different design.

Could have been worse. How much longer until we are European soccer where the entire front of the jersey is a sponsor and the team is just a small patch?

BTW - not sure how much extra $ the patch brings since Energy Transfer is Ray Davis' company.

I hate them regardless, but yes it could certainly have been worse.

A little surprised by Lorenzen... seemed like the buzz was maybe a BP to start OD. But, if that means Latz and Yerry get some coffee... maybe a little time on the mound, I'm good. No reason to rush.

Why don't we form a collective and we can treat it like the Stanley Cup. Each of us gets a day or two with it.

How does Yerry Rodriguez make this team with Marc Church in AAA? Cant wait to watch Yerry give up 2-4 runs an outing for the first month of the season.
