Harris would be a great utility guy. He could play 1B, 3B, and all over the OF

Teodo pitches for Frisco tomorrow.

Rocker's lune is a good reminder of how guys coming back from Tommy John can struggle for several starts before they get back to their normal self. That is why deGrom and Mahle coming back may not help much for a few weeks.

I think it’s a reminder that the Rangers can’t develop their own pitching.

 

[saddles]

The Astros are in first place now.

The Rangers are 5 out in the division and 7.5 out in the Wild Card race.

With this offense it feels like they are further out then that.

 

[DT LUNA]

The Rangers are 5 out in the division and 7.5 out in the Wild Card race.

Remember this year astros were way down and pulled up. Only five back we can do the same if the players only want it bad enough. Nothing else or no one else can do it.

The wild card is out. Too many teams to jump over.

Seattle will fade unless their hitting picks up and/or they get some bats at the deadline.

Time is running out to catch the Astros. Rangers are statistically under performing as they should be a game over .500 if you believe in the calculations.

Im addition, the overall run differential is only +1 right now.

I wouldn’t want to be in CY’s shoes right now.

Hill has been DFAed. Foscue is up.

One added bench player....good about time. One down and two to go.

Who besides me wants a back up catcher at trade deadline

From John Moore:

Dunning and Mahle officially going to @RRExpress for rehab.

I want to DFA Knizner and bring up Huff.

 

[DT LUNA]

I want to DFA Knizner and bring up Huff.

That will work.

We may have our backup in Heim. We might need to trade for or sign a starting catcher in the offseason.

If that is what it takes to produce runs then yeah, do it

I do. I would like Mason Miller too.

 

[saddles]

Next year the Rangers "A" level team, tje Down East Wood Ducks will move from Kinston, NC to Spartanburg, SC. They will become the Hub City Spartanburgers. The city's nickname will be the place name and the city's name will be used in the nickname.

From Shawn McFarland:

Josh Jung swung again today. Bruce Bochy said he could start a rehab assignment “soon,” but no date set yet.

Ideally, he said, Jung can be back playing for the Rangers at the start of August.
