I hope our offense can get untracked today. We are going to need a lot more runs to be competitive in this game.

Hopefully, the backend of the bullpen looks a lot better as well.
We have to get this one tonight so we can get atleast a split

From the Scott Lucas:

Caleb Boushley has drawn the start, followed by David Buchanan and Adrian Houser. All are offseason signings at least nominally in the hunt for a starting role should the Rangers suffer even more injuries. At 31 years and 178 days old, Boushley is the youngest of the three.

Was in hopes to see Pillar back in the lineup. Leody shoud have been gone decades ago.

Leiter has walked lots of guys, and it easy to steal on him. So basically every walk is a double.
I hope I am wrong, but tonight may get ugly

They brought Pillar in to play against LH pitchers. Last year he only hit .173 against RH pitchers.

Leody only hit .239 against RH pitchers last year, himself.

By that same token, Josh Smith hit LH pitchers ten points better than Leody, so i would rather see him out there.

Somehow, they fell in love with Leody's Joey Gallo imitation in ST and want to play him.

I like Pillar a lot too but playing the percentages and with a small sample size Leody is 2-3 with a HR vs Houck.
Understand the percentages but playing Leody over time will cost us more than he will help. Truth is, I think he should be gone so he would not be a drag on this team. Very disappointing to think he will hang on another season.

I think Carter's health and slow start has slowed his departure
I bet Osuna is in the mix next season
I hope Leody gets hot in thr meantime

That catch by Langford goes to show how a young pitcher can actually improve in ERA when he comes up to the big leagues. In the minors that would have scored a couple of runs, and maybe led to more. The better defenders in the big leagues can make a big difference.

Okay offense, get serious and score 3 or 4 runs.
