but as long as the team has Semien, Garcia and Pederson dragging the team down they wouldn't do any better and it wouldn't take long before we're complaining about them
Yeah, some players need to go too. Either by the deadline or after the season. This year is unfixable, but it isn't too early to prepare for next year, both in the field and in the dugout.

I don't think Bochy is a lock to last the rest of the year. He probably retires at the end of this disappointing season, anyway. Might as well let him go a little early. They can hire an interim guy and then look for a manager after this season.

Mark DeRosa is still available.

The Frisco manager is well thought of, I believe.
Bochy said last night that the team is going to get to where they need to go.
He must be delusional. So far in his tenure here this team has been good in two segments. In 2023 when they started 40-20 and then in that years championship run. The team played mediocre ball after the 40-20 start and just barely made the playoffs.
Last year was mediocre and this year may be worse.

There are currently only 7 teams in MLB with a worse record than the Rangers.

Tired of hearing Dave Raymond trying to justify our losses.

An early double puts Alejandro Osuna's OPS at .980 for Round Rock.

That is annoying, but it is part of his job. He has to try and convince folks to keep watching.

If they do call Osuna up. They should DFA Pillar, and call up Crim too.
keep all 3 and outright Garcia. with Pederson down for at least a month to 6 weeks that eliminates 2 of the 3 poisoners.

C Heim/Higashioka/Barnhart
1B Burger/Crim
2B Smith/Foscue
SS Seager/Smith
3B Jung/Smith
LF Langford/Haggerty
CF Haggerty/ Pillar
RF Osuna/Pillar
DH Crim/Smith/Higashioka

Yeah, they don't need Pillar any more, even without Osuna. Haggerty makes Pillar obsolete.

Osuna has not been removed from the game, so i doubt he is coming up.

Neither Crim nor Harris is in the game, so maybe one of then. Crim would be the most likely, I would think.

From Jeff Wilson:

Broken right hand for Joc Pederson after an HBP on Saturday. The impending IL stint could open the door for Blaine Crim, Dustin Harris or Alejandro Osuna.

Maybe this will reset Joc, but by the time he comes back in may not matter for this season.
