Rangers close out road trip at the Motor City

[Kelleyman]

Roster allows 13

They are not going to let Robbie go. Only diminish his role

i agree but i think Bochy likes Duran at the DH and splitting time with Seager at SS and that we will see Grossman, Smith and Jankowski in LF. i think Garver gets some time behind the plate and at 1B plus at least a game a week at DH

I think Garver gets over 50 percent at
DH with 1 catching assignment per week depending upon Leon. Still unsure re 1B but someone needs to fill once a week or so

This puts Duran as primary LF while Janks Smith and Grossman split the remainder including spot starts, pinch hitting pinch running
I guess we shall see.

Owen White pitches tonight. It would be great to see him do well.

 

[Kelleyman]

Not to be too repetitive but initially Garver will have to be the primary DH. And Bochy likes Zeke too much. That has to mean he is in LF

Bochy likes to move Smith around. He is his insurance piece. The hot hand may influence the other guys filling in Bochy is good at mixing it up

Well Leon is Gray’s personal catcher

The article I read hinted he would play tonight and join the Rangers on Friday. They got the 1st part wrong

Should we actually be excited about Garver coming back? is he really that good?

Not really.

A great first inning anyway. 10 pitches and 9 of them were strikes. He struck out 2. Hopefully he keeps it up and has a great outing.

I doubt they would make a roster decision based on Leon catching him for a handful of games. I mean Gray had 9 quality starts in an injury shortened season last year without Leon. He also had a couple more of them in April without Leon catching.

Not very good in the second inning. Lol

We won’t really know until we see him in action. With the little time he has played since the trade some will have already made assumptions but we should give him time seeing as how he has been injured. Either way he’ll be gone at the end of the season

Gray has seemed more relaxed and throwing better since Leon took over receiving his pitches

When he was healthy he was. Now I think not.
