Series Thread: Rangers Host the Royals For Three Games June 17-19

[saddles]

The once lifeless Rangers have found new life. As we head into this series with the Royals the offense seems to have found what was missing for a couple of months. I agree with Josh Smith and Jamey Newberg that those missing parts seem to fall into place when Evan Carter is around.

Only Jack Leiter is scheduled to pitch in this series, at present. You would think Dane Dunning would start a game, but who knows what the Rangers braintrust has in store for us.

Mitch Bratt might eventually get some consideration at some point as he is going good at Frisco. I also wonder if there is any consolation being given to ex-starter Cole Winn, being given an opportunity to start a game or two. No 40-man move or 26-man move would have to be made for Winn.

The really need Cody Bradford to wrap up his rehab within 2 to 3 weeks, because who knows when Eovaldi and/or Mahle will be back.

How is Corbin not penciled in as a starter in this series?

The ESPN schedule shows him on the 19th.

Perhaps some combination of Winn, Latz and Armstrong going 2-3 innings depending on effectiveness, or maybe Dunning thrown in there as well

Fun fact, Burger has hit .250 for 3 seasons straight

It's beyond me why Dunning is not one of the starters in this series. He has pitched well lately and if he can give us 4-5 innings then that helps lessen the load on the BP.

Probably delaying it until they have to make the 40 man move official

The 40 man has been at 39 for a few days now.

It makes me wonder if there is some disagreement among the decision makers.

Probably more of Bochy's obsession with roster and lineup secrecy.

I knew they had a spot, just stating that they were waiting to make his filling the last spot official, especially since they had Mahle and Carter ailing at the same time, I don't know what conversations they were having but it seems they were discussing some things, especially with Gray and Bradford coming back soon and also Pederson a candidate to go to the 60 Day IL, if needed, and probably just waiting til the last minute to make things official

 

[Kelleyman]

They were at risk last game if Latz gave out. Yet hat has that roster spot in their back pocket

Yeah, it is strange to keep it open.
