None of us deserve you. Thanks for your work
Looks great

Reynolds has agreed to an extension with the Pirates, so at least we won't have to listen to rumors about him going to every team in contention.

terms seem very team-friendly. I guess he really did want to stay there.

Bia Scott Lucas re Winn

By game score, yesterday was Cole Winn's best AAA start since last June and third-best of 32 at the level. Notably, Winn completely ignored his slider and new cutter for a third straight outing. He's also reduced, if not eliminated, the righty-righty changeup, leaving the curve as the near-exclusive secondary against right-handed batters. As far as I know, the slider has been part of his repertoire since before he was drafted, and while it's graded behind the curve, it is by no means a "show me" pitch. Winn threw more sliders than curves in 2022 and had a 16% swinging strike rate, higher than any other pitch. We'll see whether this is more workshopping (Winn has occasionally de- and re-emphasized particular pitches) or a perhaps permanent effort to improve control and command through simplification.



Sounds like he may be considered as a reliever

I other news, Joey Gallo has an OPS of 1.056 at this point.

I think everyone who isn't drafted high in the first round or in Porter's case, deserved to be, can't be considered as a starter for the current Rangers. That is, unless they have pitched for another team and are available in trade or free agency.

At this point, it seems that Hunter Brown is Josh Jung's biggest competition for AL ROY. There is still a lot of baseball to go though.

later this week should give him all the motivation he needs to turn it around. Although, the folks who screwed him over are no longer in the building.

If it's any consolation the Astros and Angels both lost. The Angels are now 2-2 against Oakland.

Astros won’t play the rays forever and we will have to play them eventually. That is precisely why losing to the reds is so painful.

Were they ever in the building?

 

[Kelleyman]

Duran Smith and Janks all in the lineup

 

[Nightcrawler]

Were they ever in the building?

JD was briefly. Right?

 

[Kelleyman]

JD was briefly. Right?

Well I believe he was.

Just my little disagreement that JD did Willie wrong. He needed to produce but did not. Refused to get more lift in swing as he was hitting too much on the ground

But sometimes things just don’t work out. All good and hope he does well just not against us

Wonder if other moves are in the works

 

[Kelleyman]

So when Garver is back I wonder how that affects Duran playing time
