On those days when you question my baseball acumen and feel you’re overpaying for these free emails, kindly remind yourself that, yes, I knew with 100 percent slam dunk certainty, when this picture was taken in March, that Max and his buddy Austin had just scored a photo opp with a guy who would step forward and provide the Rangers with more than his share of majestically epic hits in 2017, showing a knack for exploiting the moment and putting his teammates on his back while pacing the club in OPS.

Knew it.
