Series Thread: Rangers Host Rays For Three Games April 4-6

[saddles]

Perich is off to a good start this season. 4 for 9 with a 2B, a HR and a walk.

Scott Lucas had this to say about him in ST:


March 19 - 3B Rafe Perich, last year’s seventh-rounder out of Lehigh, has been solid, ignoring the wilder entries of young hurlers for walks, lining a single, and I heard about (but didn’t see) a triple. Perich drew eight walks in 33 trips to the plate for low-A Down East late last year. If I showed you a picture of him and said “guess the position,” you’d say third base or right field. He just looks the part.

March 23 - Among those I saw frequently, 2024 seventh-round 3B Rafe Perich continued to impress, again giving me tedious video of bad pitch after bad pitch ignored for a ball. The downside is we probably won’t really know much about him until he reaches AA and faces pitchers with more consistent control. He did exhibit some impressive line-drive swings, so I don’t want to suggest he’s nothing but eye.

Another HR today for Perich.

My guess for Rocker's line today:

6 innings
5 gits
3 walks
2 runs
8 strikeouts

Seager playing today is a good sign.

Evan Carter worked a walk and stole second base in the first inning.

 

[saddles]

Carter hit a 89.6 mph single in his next AB.

What is wrong with this offense?

Sizzling!

starting to wonder the same thing.

Tavares is useless. If there is a runner on third with less than 2 outs, they should have him bunt.

Better than trying to go for the sac fly.

Taveras, Semien, Seager, and Pederson have been problems most of the year. Garcia might be joining them. Burger may be coming out of it.

It pretty much is the entire offense. Our batting averages are for the most part hideous. Somehow we are 7-2.

 

[saddles]

Evan with another walk. He has been on base after all three plate appearances.

What is wrong with Pederson? He only faces right handers. He better snap out of it otherwise he’s useless.

Yeah, how has that happened? 7-2?

 

[JDW]

Does he play left field at all or mostly DH?

 

[saddles]

Evan with another walk. He has been on base after all three plate appearances.

He has also taken third base on fly balls twice today.

 

[saddles]

Yeah, how has that happened? 7-2?

Great pitching and timely HRs.

His AB was terrible.
