Out of the frying pan, into the fire - BOS in town for a 4 game weekend set 4/29 - 5/2

TAG is back promoting Gallo tonight. I suppose the organization may keep trying to keep his trade value up if it is even possible but at some point a decision is going to have to be made. Does not make much sense running him out there and making him look silly.

I really don't understand him batting third at this point.

Rocker had a poor outing last night and Leiter had an even worse one tonight.

 

[True Rangers Fan]

Worst we can do is a split. I'll take that.

Calhoun showing a lot of promise. Culberson has been a good pickup. IKF picking things up and Solak/Lowe keep on delivering.

Gallo regressing back to his old self, minus the power.

FYI - MLB is going to have to step in and do something about the umpiring. This has got to stop.

Nothing will be done and the umpires know it.

They will fall back on "judgement call".

 

[Kelleyman]

Just like Eph, Crawler and Kellyman did it.

I played SS and 2B. Never 1B ha

 

[Kelleyman]

Gallo is 6th in the AL in on-base % and 1st in walks (2nd overall). His strength right now is getting on base. Looking at that AL top 6, Gallo's batting average is 108 points lower than the closest guy, his slugging is 243 points lower, and his OPS is 271 points lower.

Locking him into batting third is just wasteful, because he's not producing with the bat as you would expect.

The OPS is disturbing

 

[Kelleyman]

Arihara's numbers in Japan never impressed me. Comparing his numbers in Japan with some other pitchers who came here after pitching in Japan, shows that he was never going to have nearly as much success as some of the other guys. I am really glad they only signed him for two years.

Which makes sense in a rebuild

 

[Kelleyman]

Listening to the game lest night and catching highlights. Wilkie seems to be finding his strike and Solak definitely getting it done
Re Gallo. Move him to 2. He is no special case. He is still young so I think the book is still out on him. Our team really needs a player that is obviously better than him for his sake. Probably feeling pressure to be the top Ranger but that is not what Ian needed

Yes trade value is dropping but bet his cost to sign is as well. So unusual all these walks at the sacrifice of OPS

 

[Kelleyman]

I prefer Driving wheel

I wonder how much longer they will run Lyles and Arihara out there. Wouldn’t mind seeing Allard and King getting a chance to start.

Good to see you back. Also I agree about lyles and Arihara.

Glad to see you back.

 

[saddles]

I wonder how Joe Palumbo and Brock Burke are progressing?

 

[Duane1952]

I will never understand, why a easily catchable flyball or popup is not an error instead of a hit.

 

[Uncle Siggy]

Looks like you might get your wish with Arihara but it looks like Yang will get the start I'm guessing because he's a bit more stretched out than Allard and King...

Righty Arihara (callus) may miss next start

Whether Kohei Arihara makes his next start is uncertain after the righty received in injection for a callus on his middle finger on his right hand on Sunday. Ranger manager Chris Woodward said Arihara could miss his next scheduled start on Wednesday against the Twins once the righty is reevaluated
