Draft slot race comes down to The Wire as the Rangers head to Baltimore: 9/23-26

6-4, still in the third inning.

6-5

Two more strikeouts for Winn in another scoreless, hitless second inning.

 

[Kelleyman]

Huff and Wendzel are on the bench for Round Rock. Is Woodward managing there too?

We want to move these guys along but to play them might ruffle the feathers of the AAA hierarchy. Bad politics IMO.
Have to balance being a players coach with one who can make decisions for the best that might be considered unpopular

5-5. Split in Baltimore, 1-2 against Angels because they hate us and 2-1 against the given up Indians er … Guardians as of next year. Hopefully 3rd pick.

No offense again. Otto did not pitch a bad game and gets no support

Not bothered by it. PIT magic number goes down by 1

We have clinched no worse than the 4th pick.

I don't think too many off these guys would have much room to complain.

Wonder what the future holds for Domingo Leyba. Looks like a late bloomer primed and ready to take off.

Was the capitalization of "The Wire" an intentional reference to the HBO show based in Baltimore? If so, well done. If not, failed opportunity

When it comes to these two teams there are a lot of failed opportunities.
