Rangers close out road trip at the Motor City

[Kelleyman]

But even carrying Janis means that there has to be an open spot. Semien, Seager, Lowe, Garcia, Jung, Heim, Taveras, Duran, Smith, Leon, Grossman, Garver & Miller (if they don’t DFA him)

Oh I think they DFA Miller
When Zeke comes back. Bubba to AAA
When Garver back DFA Miller

 

[Kelleyman]

Listening to game. Sounds like a lot of hard hit balls and Jake made a. Good play on Marcus near HR

As many runs as we are scoring doesn't demand a need for a pinch runner.

Then there isn’t a need for him to bat right now either and in a game where Rangers are down a run with 2 outs in the ninth and Leon is your base runner at first, Bubba is not much use in the minors.

What are the odds? lol

 

[Kelleyman]

Sounds like Dane is getting hit hard

 

[armadillooutlaw]

Bases loaded. Oh boy

Sounds like Dane is getting hit hard

his defense is betraying him more than anything.

Grossman started out hot at the plate, but he has had a bad May. Overall, he has not done good enough offensively to overcome his defense.

He came here with a reputation of being much better against left handed pitchers and poor against right-handers. Bochy mentioned before the season that with some adjustments that that would not be the case this year and put him in LF or RF almost every day. Despite Bochy’s confidence in Grossman, he has actually hit for a lower average against righties this year than he did prior to this season, at least to this point.

This is certainly not anything close to a Kole Calhoun situation, but Duran is a better answer in LF than Grossman.

No doubt.

The bottom of the lineup getting on base. Time for Semien to take advantage.

Probably but who knows what the thinking will be

 

[scotsman1948]

Offense struggling against another below average pitcher

 

[Kelleyman]

Offense struggling against another below average pitcher

Seems like ball just not bouncing our way so far and OF making plays

 

[scotsman1948]

And there just keep hit the holes. Hernandez normal ineffective

 

[DT LUNA]

Hernandez just aweful

 

[Kelleyman]

Wow Maddux pulled JHern not Bochy

 

[saddles]

Hernandez should not be on this team.

 

[Kelleyman]

Games not over but this will take effort

 

[True Rangers Fan]

2 for 7 w/RISP is also hurting right now

 

[saddles]

Adolis needs a HR here.
