YES!

Now it will be JUST like going to the MAVERICKS game. What, was Humble Billy not available to do the over-scream voice over?

I like it

Now sitting in Home Run Porch will still allow you to see a scoreboard.

I thought I was on crack – I looked at the link and thought “these aren’t new pictures, we saw them when this was first announced”, but then I read the comments and saw no one else had said this. I thought I was hallucinating or something.

up until now....

The only visual stimulation from the bleachers were the rockets hit off Ranger pitching….

Yah, cause our offense never hit rockets.

It doesn’t matter how many times I hear that it isn’t true, I just can’t stop thinking that Josh Hamilton is Manny Lee in white-face makeup.

Who the fuck cares...

…I hadn’t seen them before so I’m glad he put it up.

I don’t like the scoreboard in RF that replaces the manual one. The rest are great.

You can't be serious...

…if they walk up to the plate in those helmets, I will personally go out to the mound, shove the opposing pitcher out of the way, and start beaning Rangers.

The new boards....

The pics are actually from July when Nolan and I made a presentation to Mr. HIcks.
They were built to show the capibilities of the new boards, not what we plan on doing.
Our game will not be a Mavericks game.
Most of the game, the board in left will look like it has in the past. Out of town scores most of the time with a diamond to show runners on base, number of outs and pitcher’s names. When there is a replay, a window in the middle will pop up and the fans in right field will show a replay.
The ribbon panel in left, below the Diamond Club will have same pitcher information, balls, strikes, total pitches, speed of pitch. We will mirror that information on the Home Run Porch ribbon panel.
Ribbon panel from foul pole to foul pole……about 50 feet of it directly behind home plate will have a linescore so the fans in right field can see a linescore for the first time.
Last 10 feet down the right field line will have out of town scores rotating.
Last 50 feet down the left field line will will show the hitter’s stats, avg., HR, RBI, OBP, SLG……
This will help the fans in right field a bit.
As far as the other boards, something bigger and better for the roof of Home Run Porch and the enitre roof of the office building is coming in the year to 2 years.
I met with the designers and manufacturers of the boards this week to discuss the displays….if you have an idea, pass it along now to me at cmorgan@texasrangers.com or you can call at 817 273-5006
Installation starts next week……..should be working by the exhibition game on April 4th

That would be hilarious. Now, only if you could incorporate the long twooooooooooooooo in there, you have yourself a Maverick game. I don’t know how that would fit in with baseball though. Good luck on the upcoming season, you do an outstanding job.
