Series Thread: Rangers Host the Mariners For Three Games May 2-4

[Duane1952]

Keep Smith in CF. Pederson 0-4, shocking.

In 45 at-bats since getting sent down, Ezequiel Duran is batting .356 with three homers and a 1.052 OPS. He's probably an option again for #Rangers.

From Tepid:

Lefty reliever Robbie Ahlstrom just pitched on back-to-back days for Round Rock. Came in and K’d a lefty batter to end an inning. That’s the kind of stuff that gets you a big league shot at some point.

I guess i missed that Evan Carter hot a late PH HR last night.

Apparently, CY mentioned lately that Evan would get some PH chances in Round Rock because they wanted to get him experience at it.

 

[saddles]

Ahmed declined an outright assignment and has taken his free agency.

GOOD!!!

 

[DTLUNA]

Pederson back in the 4 hole after the 0-4 last night. There has to be more to this. It’s completely asinine and totally disrespectful to other players and the fanbase but keep writing his name in there Bruce.

I think you nailed it Murph. There has to be more to this story. In all my years, never have I seen anything even close to this. It is obvious to the players same as it is to this board.

According to Jeff Passan. The Rangers fired offensive coordinator Donnie Ecker

 

[Duane1952]

I don’t know what position he held. Passan said hitting coach and espn said offensive coordinator.

Justin Viele is the hitting coach that we hired from the Giants (where else would we hire one from) in 2024. Didn't even know there was such a thing as an offensive coordinator in baseball. But Ecker is the offensive coordinator in charge of game planning. LOL!

 

[Uncle Siggy]

So I wonder who they will replace Ecker with???

My first guess would be someone from one of their minor league teams...

And speaking of more changes: Rangers Place Leody Taveras On Outright Waivers

And: Rangers Fire Offensive Coordinator Donnie Ecker

It’s time for Taveras to go. He has had plenty of time with the Rangers.

Wonder if they’re fixing to call up Carter.

 

[DTLUNA]

Wonder if they’re fixing to call up Carter.

Thinking the same. Hope so.

 

[Uncle Siggy]

Too bad Rudy isn't about 15 years younger...

 

[Kelleyman]

Well is the board a bit more pleased by the moves we all thought would happen anyways

 

[Duane1952]

Now, if they could only get rid of Pederson.

 

[Duane1952]

If they get rid of Pederson, I will be.

 

[DTLUNA]

If they get rid of Pederson, I will be.

I believe we are stuck with him.

 

[Uncle Siggy]

He wasn't in the lineup for RR today so maybe...

 

[Uncle Siggy]

I believe we are stuck with him.

$30 some million is too much to just set fire to so yeah he'll be around a bit longer...
