Rangers close out May with a helping of seafood at the Grill: TB @ TEX 5/30 - 6/2

Semien with a HR

he was only mostly dead

 

[Kelleyman]

Glad he pulled the ball. That’s a good sign

 

[scotsman1948]

I would rather keep Heim than trade him

yeah but saddles hates him

 

[scotsman1948]

He’s an on base machine so far.

yeah but knowing the Rangers Smith will get sent down once Miller is ready to come back

From Scott Lucas:

Cole Winn appears to be having his rotation turn pushed back slightly. I think I said "skipped" on the podcast, but that's not quite true. He's listed as Sunday's starter, eight days after his last outing. Despite his issues lately, I see no cause for alarm. Texas employed this tactic with a bunch of pitchers (Winn included) around this time last year and is doing so right now with some AA guys. The AAA season is also 150 games, running through September 28 instead of the traditional Labor Day finish.

Here goes Woody with his PH hard-on

Cole Winn had a really good outing the last time out. If he does so again on Sunday I wish they would consider allowing him to replace Hearn in the rotation. After being hit in the foot by a batted ball, Winn went through a bad stretch, but he looked good before then.

I had hope for Hearn but it is slowly fading into the pen.

Josh HBP again

Just not our day. Still come out with a split.

Jim Callis and MLB Pipeline have their latest mock draft out. We are picking third so they have SS being picked by us. They say we will pick Jackson Holliday after Jones and Green go with the first two picks.

has there been a consensus yet?

has there been a consensus yet?

In the last six I have seen since the beginning of May, two have us with Termarr Johnson, three have us with Jackson Holliday, and one has us with Gavin Cross.

Prospects Live comes out with their next mock draft on Monday. I am looking forward to seeing how they have things.

ESPN has a new mock draft out today, but it is behind their paywall. I can see they have Druw Jones and Jackson Holliday going with the first two picks.

Just not our day. Still come out with a split.

Going into the series I wanted a split, but it feels like a let down after winning the first 2 and dominating 90% of the third.

TB has always been a tough team who do pitching and defense on an elite level. They don’t beat themselves. You have to beat them.

Seven years ago tonight I was at Joey Gallo's first game with the Rangers.

They are very tough to trade with too.


Two of the prospects we traded for Lowe have OPS this year of .826 and .856

We should be like them.
