Series Thread: Rangers Host Orioles For Three Games July 19-21

[DT LUNA]

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.

Sooner than later if he can help the team. Got to get his timing down and that will likely take time. If he is successful and Smith stays in the lineup, we should add on some more runs per game. Fosque can also make a difference. Heim and Lowe have to get their act together

 

[Duane1952]

Langford and Garcia need to also need to get their act together.

 

[Kelleyman]

Glad Foscue called up. Jank may be an IL waiting to happen once Carter is ready

 

[Kelleyman]

Seems like Kizner is Scherzer personal catcher

 

[DT LUNA]

Not looking good.

 

[DT LUNA]

Pitch count a problem in 2nd. 48pc.

 

[Duane1952]

The Rangers can’t take Leody out of the lineup fast enough.

The Rangers can’t take Leody out of the lineup fast enough.

Why is he still here is the question

 

[DT LUNA]

I'm thinking we are sellers.

 

[Duane1952]

Why is he still here is the question

Hopefully when Carter gets back he will be at least on the bench.

I see that Leiter is scheduled to pitch tomorrow for Round Rock. It will be his first appearance in 16 days, but not a word from our local media about why.

 

[jaar01]

We're going to be staring up at the Orioles for many years. They are built to win for a long time. We are not. Obviously.

 

[DT LUNA]

Reality says we better prepare a list who we wish to sell

 

[DT LUNA]

Hard to watch right now......bad baseball

 

[Kelleyman]

Reality says we better prepare a list who we wish to sell

Correct. Have to know what offers will be
Kind is weird Max is number 2 pitcher coming out of the break

 

[saddles]

I wonder if Scherzer will still want to stay after Eovaldi, Yates, Lorenzen and Heaney are traded.

From Shawn McFarland:

Tyler Mahle pitched 2.2 innings for Triple-A Round Rock. He threw 46 pitches, allowed zero runs, gave up two hits, a walk and struck out three batters. He reached 93.6 mph on his fastball.

 

[saddles]

Dane Dunning has thrown 3 scoreless innings for Round Rock so far, tonight.

 

[saddles]

To hear Kip Fagg talk, he believes Malcom Moore is a really good catcher with an average arm. He seemed a bit miffed that some of the pundits had warned about Moore's defense in their writeups.

 

[saddles]

Kip Fagg really likes Dreiling's and Cook's hit tools. He thinks they will try Dreiling in CF. They will give Cook a chance at 2B.

He thinks Pence could start even though he had been a reliever this year. He also said Susac's reliever numbers are very impressive even though his overall numbers were not.

He was asked about who could be a big surprise and he picked David Hagaman. He said if he had nit been hurt, Hagaman would gave went in tje first round.

They have a couple of high school kids who they drafted who are going to be draft-and-follow guys, meaning they will attend a Junior College next year and the Rangers could sign them before the draft next season.
