[Kelleyman]

couldn't be better. missed you guys

 

[Kelleyman]

Yeah not sure how it works out but Ideally Garver is back up catcher. Should be able to play some 1B
Think Bubba is sent down. Not got my math down but Grossman at DH and Duran in LF that leaves us Smith Garver Janks and Miller at DH

Huff goes down and we may lose Leon

Unless I am missing something I think this is how it plays out

possibly but my gut says that the Rangers start out with Seager and Duran shuffling between SS and Dh until Seager is fully healthy. think Huff goes down when Seager comes back and Smith or Thompson go down when Garver returns. or really going out on a limb Miller gets DFA'ed. some are not going toget much playing time and if it comes down to Huff, Smith, Thompson i would rather they be at AAA getting good playing time

No one has really trusted him at 1B in the past, and now he is even less mobile.

Jealous have family things can’t go

Garver is a casualty of not playing. Think I heard that he may spend more days on IL than being active.

based him playing the position 6 times in his career. he's a catcher with 259 games at that position

[scotsman#1948]

they still haven't posted the lineup for tonight

May exits after first inning with right elbow pain

The Rangers are going to have to work with JdG on how to not throw so hard.

it's what makes him go

 

[True Rangers Fan]

it's what makes him go on the Injured List

It's incredible to watch him chuck it in there at 101, but we need this guy on the mound.

you're getting no argument from me but it is what got him here and it will be hard to get him to drop the speed

yeah I don't imaging it will be an easy conversation.

I read this week that the D-Backs tried to get Bumgarner to change his approach and he just wouldn't go along with it.

The difference in these two tweets tells you all you need to know about the East coast bias.

Huff goes down as was expected.
