and do we know that Huff is any better? from what are we getting the defensive matrix on Lowe?

We don’t know if he’s better because he doesn’t get to play on a regular basis.

Looks like the ball is carrying this afternoon

Leody might just be a stud and a keeper at CF.
Liking what we're seeing from him and Duran in general.

 

[Duane1952]

Evidence of what can happen, when you regular playing time.

For sure.

 

[Kelleyman]

Holtz called a great game

 

[armadillooutlaw]

So far, so good for Perez.

 

[Kelleyman]

Elvis sold the tag

 

[Kelleyman]

Do think Leody has paid his dues longer than all the younger guys. Do agree if we bring them up we must play them generally

For this reason I hope they keep Huff down at this point because he won’t get played

So we have Hernandez not playing today. I hope this is not a trend

While they are up as mentioned on the broadcast they should be getting Marcus to help them. He is barreling almost everything

Elvis sold the tag

Replay exposed him. That should have been overturned.

Noticing how our commentators speak highly of Lowe's bat but not a word about defense. Guess they can't on the air or else they don't think it is a problem.

did he make a bad play in this game? has he been close to a bad play?

Good scoop of Josh throw

 

[scotsman1948]

Before I trade for someone, I will try Huff. Nobody knows if he can play there because Our idiot manager will not play him when he’s called up.

i agree that Huff should get some playing time at 1st, C and DH but should they put Lowe, and/or Heim on the bench a majority of the time to do so?

after the trade deadline there will be 60 games left and hopefully the Rangers have moved on from Calhoun, Miller and Culberson and have brought Huff and others up (personally i would like to see Crim, Harris and Thompson but i'm sure there are several others that could be considered). with the right rotation of the 13 players all 13 could see action in between 41 and 42 with approximately 180 at bats and with 2days off. i think we would get some good looks at all with that

 

[armadillooutlaw]

Seager and Heim are studs. I'm thinking Leody and Duran are likely going to be part of this team's core when they are good again, as well.
So-so on Lowe. He only works long term is he's strictly a DH.

Who has the most starts at 1B in AAA this year?

Elier Hernandez
