Are they tanking? Are they streaking? Whatever happens will be at the Grill for 4 against HOU 9/13-16

This will be a really good test for Otto.

Glad to see him settling in at AA. Foscue andvCrim are starting to heat up and Smith has done well for a while there.

Wendzel and Huff are showing signs of doing better.

Glad to see our young guys down in AA hitting well. Really looking forward to Josh Smith, Jung, Bubba Thompson and Crim coming up next year. Hoping Huff, Foscue and Dustin Harris aren’t far behind.
The front office has done a pretty good job accumulating young talent. I’m so impatient but it looks like we should have a very good team in the near future. Just have to keep trickling talent into the farm system so it can continue.

This is from today's Baseball America's Prospect Report.

Justin Foscue, 2B, Double-A Frisco (Rangers)—Foscue cruised through High-A, with 14 home runs in 33 games, but has struggled since arriving at Double-A on Aug. 11. It appears he's breaking out of his slump, with a home run in back-to-back games, his first two at Double-A, with his latest a three-run shot as part of a four-RBI day in a loss to Amarillo. The 2020 first-rounder from Mississippi State is hitting .275/.371/.590 with 17 home runs and 51 RBIs in 62 games mostly spent between High-A and Double-A.

Not liking our chances. Making up ground with only a few games left does not bode well. Hope for the best at this point.

The Pirates are down 1-0 in the 7th.

The Pirates are down 1-0 in the 7th.

They are 0-5 w/RISP. They are not going down with a fight.

Sounds familiar.

If anyone could hit the roof at Globe Life Field with a pop-up it would have been Kinsler. He hit some that went up 4 or 5 times higher then they traveled outwards from home plate

 

[BULLPEN FAILURE]

Sounds familiar.

If only. I'm sure they'll eek out a win tonight.

Only enjoyment for me now is to see all the young guys have a good game starting with Otto tonight.

Go ahead. He has gotten rid of the pressure he had before #30

If the Rangers went 8-9 over their last 17, Washington would have to 1-15 over their last 16. So I see 3rd or 4th pick in the Rangers draft future

This is a franchise that can snatch defeat from the jaws of victory unlike any other.
