Series Thread: Rangers Host Rays For Three Games April 4-6

If Heim was out so was that guy on replay.

Good job by Rocker. Not striking people out but a lot of ground balls. Even the hit in the 5th was a seeing eye grounder.

Yeah, he has been solid.

From Shawn McFarland:

The Rangers have three hits today. Josh Smith has two. He also has the second-highest OPS (.961) on the team behind only Jonah Heim this season.

I’m thinking he was told to pitch to contact. No walks, solid outing.

 

[Duane1952]

Better than trying to go for the sac fly.

That’s why you can’t count on him to hit a sac fly. He just sucks.

 

[Duane1952]

A lot better outing for Rocker.

 

[saddles]

Evan with another walk. He has been on base after all three plate appearances.

Evan Carter has walked 3 times now, to go along with a single and a stolen base.

At least with the bunt he has a higher chance of actually making contact.

Crim with a double and 2 walks so far today. He might look pretty good in our lineup, somewhere

He's been doing good today. Nice game for him.

Pillar couldn't do any worse against RHers than Leody

From Evan Grant:

Jack Leiter and Kumar Rocker the second time around:

10 IP
1 R
7 H
0 BB
7 Ks

A 0.700 WHIP. That will play We won't talk about the blister. It was a good week for pitching development.

From Shawn McFarland:

The Rangers' rotation has a 2.68 ERA through the first two turns of the rotation. That's the best mark in the American League.

Evan Carter has walked 3 times now, to go along with a single and a stolen base.

That’s why he’s been called full count Carter.

That and the bullpen, along with some timely HRs have made us 7-2.. if we can get Seager, Pederson, and Burger to hit like they did last year and get both Bradfird and Carter back to pre-injuty form, we will be smoking.

 

[JDW]

Evan Carter has walked 3 times now, to go along with a single and a stolen base.

Great game from him as well.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Nice Seager.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Ump hosed Langford.

I agree. I wonder why Pillar don’t get more chances in CF. I know he has a history of not being very good against right handed pitching, but he couldn’t be worse than Taveras right now.
