I haven't seen anything from Reks that tells me he should be up here

other than the play where he played the ball off the wall and threw out Choi at second i agree. the only reason he is up is because Miller is out. wouldn't be surprised to see Reks DFA when that happens

I agree. I would love to see Bubba get a chance.

We found a good private parking lot on Arlington Downs Rd. It is just east on Globe Life Field. It is on the south side of Arlington Downs Rd. right across from Lot D. It was $20 and you can keep your parking ticket and park the fourth time for free.

Parking has definitely changed over the years. We used to park at SixFlags when I had seasons tickets. I have shuttled as well and parked in the private lots. Rarely in a Ranger lot that I think Hicks may still have rights too

Well he was hitting as good as anyone in AAA especially lately but yes the is may be his last bite at the apple. Hitting light years ahead of Willie so we may end up losing some AAA guys to allow some others room for promotions

Here are the Power Rankings through May

Biggest jump: The Rangers jumped four spots, from 22 to 18. After a rough start, things are looking up for Texas, which went 5-5 on its recent 10-game intradivision road trip through Houston, Anaheim and Oakland.

He played well in his brief stint earlier in the year
Did decent yesterday, with the assist
The guy has been a hitting machine every single year in pro ball. I hope we give him extended ABs to see what he’s got.

That assist looked to me to be mostly on Choi. I could not believe it when he took off for second base. As soon as I realized he was going for second I knew he was out.

I was not impressed with the range of Semien or Seager.last night.

Seagers defense is about what I expected. Semiens has fallen short even in decision making. His range is about what I thought.
Offensively of course would like more

But besides Corea who Astros are happy they let go who is decidingly better defensively?
Surely not Storey.
Rangers were going to have to overpay to get in that first tier market. Guess we could have waited a year in Lindor. Always liked the Seager big game gene

That is actually amazing because we have been giving away outs for years on the base paths.

After 49 games, Semien is still chasing Mendoza at .197 clip. "Heating Up" is becoming a joke. Now he may get back on track but until he does he is not heating up. One HR and he is back? LOL

Some may be saying that because he has hit 283 in the last 13 games but his power numbers are way down right now.

he's raised his average 40 points in the past two weeks. OBP up 38 points, SLG up 59 points and OPS up 97 points. If that's not heating up, I don't know what is.

All that and he has still not come close to what we expect.

hasn't been so far, no. but the season ends in October, let's see where he's at then.
