They showed the fastest pitches by Rangers pitchers. Chapman has like the top 15 pitches just since he arrived

Huge morale boost getting a wins and avoiding their sweep. Hopefully Oakland can pull through with the win right now

They’re talking that Eovaldi might get the nod onTuesday. The postgame show said the team just wanted to give him an extra day

Sure hope so.

Report earlier was that he was being skipped, we will see

He was scheduled for Monday so he is being skipped for one day

 

[Kelleyman]

Unless something changed Natan E is not pitching in Houston

That's called being pushed back. Skipping means he is skipped over for that turn in the rotation.

Okay. They said at the start of the game his turn in the rotation in Houston was being skipped and then at the end of the game they started talking that he might start the game on Tuesday.

Possible that the radio guys hadn't seen the report from the Rangers yet I guess

This ship has sailed a long time ago, but it would have been interesting to see what could have happened in 2024 with the following lineup.

C Heim
1B Huff or Crim
2B Acuna
3B Jung
SS Seager
LF Saggese
RF Garcia
CF Carter
DH Foscue

Bench of Taveras, Duran, Smith, and a catcher

Tavernas is better than Saggese from what I have seen

Carter needs to put on some weight. He. I longer had video game stars. deceivingly fast though and looks like he has better routes than Leody especially coming in

Would not be surprised if Wyatt is on the rise real quick and at AA end of next year. Looks to be best draft pick in Ranger history methinks

Great rebound yesterday against LA. Obviously losing that series stings, but being 7-2 since the break is better than any of us expected. Definitely concerned about Eovaldi's velo and the back end of the starting rotation. It is nice to see that Burke-Smith-Chapman make a fantastic 1-2-3 punch out of the pen. I still think we have a really good opportunity to make a deep run come October with the right moves. It's like @saddles said; we likely win the LAD series with a better bullpen. Still think trading for two relievers that are as good as Smith and Chapman is the main and most important thing--shut you down type of guys.
Throw in another SP - at least a #3 type.
A good hitter would help, too. Someone that has a high batting average and thrives with RISP.
Doesn't have to have overwhelming power.
