It will take two or three seasons worth of data to get the true picture of Globe Life. When Pacific Bell Park/SBC Park/ AT&T Park..now Oracle Park...opened in 2000, Kevin Elster of the Dodgers swatted three home runs in the first regular season game played there. So they immediately decided that it was a hitter's park. 20 years later, it is recognized as an extreme pitcher's park.
Bad timing for the Ranger organization...opening up a new park and unable to have any fans come inside.

And, not just that, GS, but this is the third first-year park in Rangers history, and each of them experienced an interrupted season.
Speaking of that park, it finally opened, but the game was a snoozer. Rangers finished the victor, 1-0, but at least they will have improved pitching this year with my former St Louis favorite, Lance Lynn.
With the Rangers having led the division most of the season, I'm surprised there have been no posts in this thread since yours above on April 8th.
