Rangers back home to face a tough opponent: ATL @ TEX 5/15-17

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

the MLB sub on Reddit has a code for Nightengale: whatever he tweets, the opposite will be the truth.

even if Kumar wasn't injured this week, which he was, the Mets were concerned with his shoulder, not his elbow.

he's had some pretty bad AB's lately. lots of chasing. probably needed a day off.

Has appeared hyper stepping in the batter's box.

Think the Rangers smoke Atlanta tonight.

hope so but Strider can be really tough

Probably because Strider is tough on right handers.

Agree because we have a heavy Left handed line up in Leody, Lowe, Seager, Heim and Smith.

probably more than anyone, he watches anything in the zone, and hacks away at everything outside/up and in/etc.

And Grossman

Yeah, and that is what several of us pointed out to him yesterday. He had to have known better and just wanted to say what he did anyway.

Huff didn’t impress me at all. Hell I wish we could trade him,

True, but so can Eovaldi. One thing to know is Atlanta's offense is just decent against righties (12th in MLB in OPS vs righties), so I don't expect them to score a bunch, and I believe Seager's return will give our offense some needed juice.
I got Texas winning 5-1.

The jump to the MLB separates the men from the boys. Like Profar, Odor and others we all thought were going to be special and fell short. Huff is just another.

 

[Nightcrawler]

i'm back after a long absence.
i figure that they return Seager to the active roster today or tomorrow and that he will be at DH or Shortstop for the first couple of weeks rotating with Duran. after that we will see. someone will have to go down and the logical one is Huff although i'd rather they release Miller.
degrom probably back around the 24th or 25th so that's another roster spot to clear so either Barlow or Hernandez
Garver back around the 1st week of June so that's another roster spot to open. id Huff goes down for Seager and the Rangers won't DFA Miller the only one left would be Smith to get him playing time at AAA

Welcome back and go stars!

Lol. The Rangers only have 3 guys on the 26 man roster with a higher career MLB OPS than Sam Huff has.

 

[Senator_fan]

Good problem to have figuring out who should go down rather than figuring out who to call up.

I don’t think he has been enough consistent at bats to prove what he can do. When he’s only playing once or twice a week, he’s not going to get his timing down.

Long fly ball by Carter RF. Near the track

Jeff Banister has a career batting average of 1.000. Sample sizes matter.
