Transcript

00:00Texas Rangers fans are having to wait a little bit longer than expected to see

00:05the new Globe Life Field. However, Joey Gallo and some of the other Rangers

00:09players have been able to hit around, play around in their new stadium. What

00:15did Gallo think about Globe Life Field? Yeah, Joey Gallo is finally getting the

00:21opportunity to to hit balls at Globe Life Field and we've all been waiting to

00:26to get to see it and you know hopefully one day that will be coming you know

00:29rather quickly but for now we just have to hear about it and the initial reviews

00:34are a bit surprising and Gallo mentioned to us that the ballpark is playing

00:41quote big as hell unquote. So it's obviously a bit different from their old

00:46ballpark for the last 26 seasons at Globe Life Park or formerly called the

00:51ballpark in Arlington. Definitely played more to hitters especially left-handed

00:56power hitters because of a jet stream that carried the ball to right field so

01:00this would definitely be a change for the Texas Rangers and could possibly

01:06help them attract pitchers. Obviously we still have yet to see how it's going to

01:11play out in a game but initial reviews are that Joey Gallo isn't too fond of

01:18the dimensions and has even mentioned to general manager John Daniels that moving

01:25the fences in might might be okay with the with the powerful hitter in the

01:30Rangers lineup.
