Rangers contend with a possum and dirty water in the Oakland sewer 05/11 - 05/15

[Nightcrawler]

4 game set.

everyone pitches except Dunning for the rangers.

Going 2-2 in Oakland would be a bummer IMO. Mason Miller is the only good starting pitcher they have (3.38 era). He was supposed to pitch against us Friday, but is having arm soreness and now we'll miss him. They don't even have a starter listed for tomorrow, and the Friday/Sunday guys have era's around 8. Saturday guy is 5.54.

would like 3

4 would be amazing

winning the first 1 would be sweet because the mariners, angels, and Astros are all off today. We would gain on everyone in the division.

It would be great to take care of business and sweep these guys.

He is expecting lots of extra innings for Sunday afternoon's game.

My bad my bad. I just wanted to make the thread for certain series like Banny’s return, odor’s return, and Oakland sewer visitations.

New BA mock draft has Rangers going college bat

Baseball America has a new mock draft out, and they have Texas going with a college hitter at #4

www.lonestarball.com

Wyatt Langford is who they think we will pick.

Adam says, "BA says that Langford would be a 1/1 candidate in many years, and a month ago included Langford in a piece about possible 1/1 candidates this year."

Carlos Collazo of Baseball America writes:

At this stage in the calendar, there seems to be a consensus group of five players leading the 2023 class, and a huge mess of split-camp and polarizing players that could fall into many different landing spots depending on late-season performance and organizational philosophy.

If you don’t have access to Dylan Crews, Paul Skenes, Walker Jenkins, Wyatt Langford, or Max Clark—good luck!

The Opener: Glasnow, Senzatela, Seager

3. Seager to begin rehab assignment:

The Rangers have been without Corey Seager for exactly one month due to a hamstring strain, but he’s slated to head out on a minor league rehab assignment beginning today. The 29-year-old Seager, who inked a ten-year, $325MM contract in free agency two offseasons ago, got out to a blistering start with Texas this season, slashing .359/.469/.538 with a homer, four doubles, and more walks (nine) than strikeouts (seven) in his first 49 plate appearances of the season.

Texas has turned to young Ezequiel Duran to hold down the fort in Seager’s absence, and 23-year-old has responded with a .305/.340/.474 slash in exactly 100 plate appearances this year. Manager Bruce Bochy recently told Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News that he planned to find “creative” ways to keep Duran in the lineup even when Seager returns. It’s indeed been a strong start, though with just one walk in those 100 trips to the plate and a sky-high .379 average on balls in play, there’s likely some regression in store for the former top prospect.

Did you see the sliding catch Joey made recently? He wound up catching it with his bare hand after it bounced out of his glove. Then he turned it into an easy double play.

I did see it, although a lot of Padres fans felt it would have been overturned... had their manager challenged it.

Is it Rocker?

Could be Dane Acker.

Probably a couple of weeks too early for Ricky Vanasco.
