Good riddance. Quite literally

since 2013 the rangers have the 3rd worst ERA in mlb. lol

And this helps. Also, adding 4 starters will help.

The collective ERA of their 6 starters, based on last year appearances is now 3.52. That would have been the 5th best in MLB. For comparisons purposes, the 2022 starters had a collective ERA of 4.63.

Finally! Some actual facts here too! Fangraphs, as absurd as it may be, projects the Rangers to have the 2nd best SP rotation WAR in baseball behind the Yankees. Idk if this guy is even a Rangers’ fan.

Nice. How many innings will they pitch? Lol
TheRealMilo
Let’s not get carried away by asking for innings…the first question is how many of these guys actually break spring training without major injury setbacks.

It was always weird how this guy got a major league contract. I don’t know how any scout would think a K rate under 20% in the NPB would play in the majors

@roiste – To be honest he was cheap & a bit Brett Anderson – I watched a few of his early starts and a couple of his ST games and we was really good. He looked like he had lots of street smarts and pitched well to weak contact
But I see on face of it – especially K rate – that is a red flag. The aneurism must have been terrifying.

I think it’s less of Arihara not being capable of pitching in MLB and more that the Rangers organization doesn’t understand pitching. They have the 5th worst ERA in MLB since 2017.

That’s probably around when Mike Maddux left. Their minor league development is trash and still is, though.

The Hawks also announced their now slogan…
softbankhawks.co.jp/news/detail/00006179.html
It’s Oh, Oh, Oh! ((おう!おう!おう! 鷹!鷹!鷹!)
For the English translation, this means Hawks, Hawks, Hawks!
Maybe some of the other MLB teams could copy it.
Rays, Rays, Rays!
O’s, O’s, O’s!
Stros, Stros, Stros!
Crew, Crew, Crew!
I’m here all week, folks! Ba Dum Tsh.

We are taking over!
Datashark
Well fulfilled a dream to play in MLB, and showed he is not even AAA worthy either, so good luck back in Japan.
The Ranger Fan
So long
CaseyAbell
Well, for his first four starts he looked pretty good.

I remember not all that long ago when Arihara was a hot commodity coming out of Japan and lots of people thought the Red Sox should sign him (not to say that things wouldn’t be different if they had)
