Rangers in NYC for a weekend set: TEX @ NYY 6/23-25

[BULLPEN FAILURE]

Your favorite team the Rangers maintain the best run differential in the game, and take the field against the Yankees this weekend. As of now, no starters have been listed for the weekend. Gerrit Cole will be on the mound Sunday. 6pm, 3pm, and 12:30pm are your game times.

Rangers are 46-28, +10 over last year.

Schmidt and Severino for the Yankees on Saturday and Sunday

Really need to take the 1st 2 games. Cole will be really really tough

I am not a fan of this nonsense but I know it's all about money.

Non Ranger feel good stuff
He is an ambassador of the great game

So really feel bad for A’s fans especially those long term that were trashed IMO from the commissioner

Kind of caught in the middle with an owner that does not want to pay and a city that refuses to likely overpay

Listened to Dallas B on athletic podcast the other day and he was very articulate and passionate trying to keep a middle ground as an A’s broadcaster. Any team with a guy like him in the booth wound be very fortunate

Do like the Jason S podcasts

Also tough hit for local baseball with the cuts at the Athletic. Part of which I was drawn to it. This might be my last year to subscribe

From Jeff Wilson:

Misery loves company, and the Rangers have some company with their dissatisfaction over the catcher violation that hurt them Tuesday night at Chicago.

The Padres are miffed after a similar situation unfolded Wednesday. A Giants runner was called out at home on the field, but San Francisco challenged the positioning of catcher Gary Sanchez.

The replay official overturned the ruling on the field.

Instead of the inning ending in a 1-1 tie, San Francisco scored three times and won the game 4-2.

Padres manager Bob Melvin was ejected for arguing after the call was overturned, as Rangers manager Bruce Bochy was Tuesday. Melvin said it was one of the worst calls he’d seen this season, while Bochy said it was one of the worse calls he’s ever seen.

Baseball needs to intervene. Every play at the plate would seem to be a violation based on recent precedent, and that’s bad for the game. There’s no way the commissioner’s office wants to see a playoff spot determined by a rule with such ambiguity.

This occurrence seemed to get more press then the Ranger debacle

I honestly dread this year's postseason. The umps have been so tremendously horrible this season, and some team is going to get screwed this October.

This is wonderful... and so is Wash.
