The goal was good. Hull had possession before entering the crease. The rule was poorly written and the NHL made the correct interpretation. Buffalo fans need to let it go after 27 years.

The 3-on-3 overtime in the regular season is the most exciting 5 minutes in sports. Wide open ice, constant scoring chances, and the shootout if it stays tied. Perfect for new fans.

The $25-45 price range for upper deck is the best value in DFW sports. For the price of parking at AT&T Stadium, you can get a legitimate Stars ticket AND a beer.

The power play adjustment in November was the turning point of the season. Going from 18% to 24% on the PP is massive. That is an extra goal every 4-5 power plays. It adds up over a season.

The ALDS Game 3 start saved the season. Down 2-0, facing elimination, and Eovaldi delivered 7 innings of dominance.

The autograph tip is legit. My kids got signatures from 5 players last March. Players are relaxed and willing in spring training.

The pitch design work adding 300 RPM to a slider is tangible impact that justifies the analytics investment. That is a real, measurable improvement.

I miss the old stadium. The quirks, the wind, the September sunsets behind the third base line. The new one is better but soulless.

The academy upgrades are important. English language classes and nutrition programs help 16-year-olds transition from their home countries.

Seager at -4 OAA is concerning but not surprising. He is 32 playing the most demanding position. The move to third base needs to happen soon.

FIP of 4.41 on the primary setup man while the ERA is 3.92 means regression is coming. He is getting lucky with balls in play.

The 2023 World Series clinch is the obvious historical answer but it happened in Arizona. I want to be at a moment that happened in OUR building. That is why the Garcia grand slam wins.

The Garcia grand slam. No contest. I was there and it is the greatest single moment I have experienced in any sport. The sound of 40,000 people screaming simultaneously is something I will never forget.

Apple TV+ games are fine but the announcers are generic national broadcasters who do not know the team. I want the local crew who have watched every game all season and know the storylines.

The blackout situation is insane in 2026. I live in Dallas, I want to watch my team, and I cannot legally stream them without a cable subscription to a specific channel. MLB is leaving money on the table.

The championship window is open NOW. Seager is 32, Semien is 35. You cannot be conservative at the deadline when your core players are aging. Go get a pitcher.

The Gold Glove defense is what pushes this from good signing to great signing. You are getting 25 home runs, 90+ RBI, AND elite defense at second base. Where is the flaw?

The Whataburger on Division after a night game is a DFW tradition at this point. Standing in line at midnight in a Rangers jersey with 200 other fans is weirdly communal.

The deGrom contract coming off after 2027 is the biggest financial event on this timeline. $37M freed up is transformative. The question is whether ownership reinvests it or pockets it.

The Rangers drafting hitters for 20 years and then wondering why they cannot develop pitchers is the most predictable outcome in baseball. You reap what you sow.

Texas Live is great for the convenience factor. Park once, watch the early game at Texas Live, walk to Globe Life for the main event. Perfect double-header day.

The deGrom contract is the one that stings. $185M and he has been injured more than he has pitched. But the other signings more than make up for it.

Josh Hamilton\'s peak in Texas was the most exciting thing I have ever watched in baseball. The 2010 ALCS, the 4-homer game, the MVP season. When he was locked in, nobody on earth was better.

Adrian Beltre is the most beloved Ranger of all time and it is not close. The 3,000 hit moment, the head touches with Elvis, the whole aura. A Hall of Famer who gave this franchise its soul.

Astros fans at Globe Life are genuinely annoying. I say this with respect for the rivalry — the trash talk gets heated and it makes the games better. But they are annoying.

The atmosphere difference between roof open and roof closed is massive. When that roof is open and the DFW evening sky is above you, it is one of the best settings in baseball. When it is closed, it feels like a convention center.
