Are you a backup catcher who is only playing because the regular catcher is injured?
Are you a catcher who nobody pays attention to on a team that nobody cares about?
Do you need that one big, monumental day at the plate that you can be remembered for in an otherwise forgettable career, without the harmful effects of Barry Bondsing it?
Do you need a special game you can talk to your grandkids about one day?
Well, friend, you’re in luck. The Texas Rangers Anonymous Catcher Appreciation Department is heading to your town.
They served up three home runs to Shea Langeliers. Who, you might ask is Shea Langeliers? Exacty. Nobody had ever heard of him before. He plays for the Athletics. They play in Oakland, a city soon nobody will ever hear of again. But the fine, accommodating folks at the Texas Rangers Anonymous Catcher Appreciation Department made him the talk of the baseball world for one glorious night, serving up three home runs to him in a game on April 9. Since then, he hasn’t hit any. But for that one unforgettable game, he was the king of the nightly highlights.
Last night, the TRACAD served a new customer: Travis d’Arnaud. You may not remember him as the backup catcher for the Braves who came into the game with zero home runs, a .200 batting average, and an anemic .561 OPS.
Not anymore. Thanks to the Rangers new service, d’Arnaud hit three home runs, drove in six, and raised his OPS from .561 to .819. In one game? Can any other team do that for an anonymous catcher? The answer is no.
So, accept no substitutes. If you are a backup, forgotten, washed up, or just plain mediocre major league catcher in need of a one-night career infusion, the Texas Rangers just might be the answer you’re looking for.
