Series Thread: Rangers Host the Athletics For Four Games April 28 - May 1

He has been promoted to AAA now.

From Scott Lucas:

Offseason signing Peyton Gray was promoted to AAA. In Frisco, he held opponents to a .128/.209/.205 line with four walks and 21 strikeouts in 12 innings.

Gray had his Round Rock debut today. He pitched 2.1 innings. He allowed no runs and 3 baserunners with 2 strikeouts.

 

[saddles]

Carter is now 12 for his last 38. His slash line in that time is:

.316/.395/.632 along with 3 stolen bases

Carter went 2 for 5 today. He is 14 for his last 43 and is hitting .326 in that time. He has played in 5 of the last 6 games in Round Rock.

He is ready. When they do bring him up they will most likely send Harris down until they can trade Leody in July. Of course, by then Osuna may be competing with Harris for a promotion.

From Evan Grant:

The Rangers have DFA’d Dane Dunning & selected Tucker Barnhart to help out at catcher with Kyle Higashioka having some hamstrung tightness

 

[saddles]

I don't think Dunning would be around long after the way he pitched last night.

 

[Kelleyman]

I don't think Dunning would be around long after the way he pitched last night.

Maybe back to AAA unless someone claims ans we eat a little

He looked like a shell of his former self.

Kind of odd seeing your 3 4 and 5th hitter batting 194, 099 and 176

Very odd.

 

[DTLUNA]

Another wasted opportunity to score runs.

Another wasted opportunity to score runs.

Hope we don't revert back to the offense tonight we have seen so far in 30 games

 

[DTLUNA]

More failure at the plate with bases loaded

 

[Duane1952]

The bad offense is back.

 

[fanman8825]

Team continues to come up empty with the bases loaded in a close low scoring game and with no outs.

 

[fanman8825]

The bad offense is back.

It didn't take long

 

[fanman8825]

More failure at the plate with bases loaded

The beat goes on and on. Just when we get excited about yesterday's game we're blessed with another dose of bad offense

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Was Burger just guessing! 3-1 pitch a mile wide and check swing strike, pitch low and out of the zone and foul it off and pitch that is definitely a strike and just watch it go by.

Definitely a bad sequence for Burger

 

[Duane1952]

I just don’t see why the Rangers think that Jackson was going to be a good closer.
