Rangers back out on the road, first stop is Motor City: TEX @ DET 6/16-19

[Kelleyman]

Nice victory … I would compliment you on your pitching, but the Tigers are that bad at the plate.

If yuu guys canthit Hearn in the 3rd game then yeah the stats will be legit
Hearn has good stuff but lays a few in center cut they should be hammered we shall see.

Guess the Baez signing has frustrated. We finally got Semien hitting

 

[Kelleyman]

I was thinking Duran to LF

Well could be but he will need works to do that. Kind of want Smith in LF eventually. Like a Bigger arm in CF

I was thinking Duran to LF

Yep, and Smith to CF.

 

[armadillooutlaw]

Yep, and Smith to CF.

I gotta say I really like the sound of that.
That outfield would be fantastic. Wonder if we will see Smith in the OF once he's back from IL or if it'll have to wait until spring training?
Beyond Smith and Duran who are the next couple of hitting prospects you guys are most excited for, and do you think we'll see em later this year?

 

[Kelleyman]

Speaking of Duran

Foscue, Crim and Ornelas and JP Martinez
Pretty much the 1-4 for the RoughRiders lol

 

[Kelleyman]

He has a good chance of making it up late this season. No more bullpen games

I am most excited about Jung, even more than Duran and Smith. After that I would say Crim, Foscue and Harris. In a few more weeks that order could be different because whoever we draft with our first pick is probably going to be very near the top.

 

[saddles]

Crim hot another HR tonight after sitting out a few games with an injury.

 

[Uncle Siggy]

I was thinking Duran to LF

He hasn't played any OF in the Minors so if he stays with the club it will be at 3rd and fill in for Semian/Seager days off. I doubt they would try to teach him OF while with the club, would more than likely get sent down if they want him to learn...

Yep, and Smith to CF.

He seems to have the speed but he's only played a few games in OF in the Minors so the jury is out on his routes and arm...

Haven't seen any status on Jung in quite sometime but I doubt we see him at all with the club this year...

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Good thing Soto was out of whack. We had 3 hits going into the 9th and can't help think if he had some control of his pitches that we don't make it to Duran.

 

[True Rangers Fan]

Watch out for a big series from Baez. trevor story wasn’t hitting anything all year and he mashed when we played the Red Sox. We tend to help hitters get out of slumps.

1-for-10 with no XBH and 4 K's is "mashing"?

 

[Kelleyman]

I am not sure Josh Smith makes this play not sure of Jung. Would like to see more is Smith could. Open competition is not a bad thing at times

 

[Kelleyman]

I thought this one of the best calls Raymond has made. Genuine excitement and enthusiasm

 

[Nightcrawler]

Don‘t say anything positive about Raymond!

 

[scotsman1948]

Listening to game until back in town. Time for Huff to deliver

Huff has struggled badly over his last few starts and pitch-hitting appearances. he has looked very bad at the plate

 

[scotsman1948]

This tells me they will send Duran down. Maybe he will take reps in LF

don't agree they won't send him down but according to his minor league stats Durn has not played any outfield

 

[scotsman1948]

[scotsman1948]

Yep, and Smith to CF.

Smith has played a whole 10 games in the OF

I'm not sure Taveras can hit MLB pitching.
