These next 10 games against Royals, Brewers, and Orioles will dictate management's strategy the rest of the way. And that is no cakewalk.

Which is why tonight's win is especially sweet. Man they needed that one.

Urena has followed Heaney in Heaney's last 2 starts and has pitched 5.1 innings without giving up a run. Before that he started and pitched 6.2 innings and gave up 1 run on 1 hit.

His role this year has been what I wanted when I wanted us to pursue Nick Martinez. Only, his ERA thus far is a run better than Marrinez's.

Jeff Wilson suggests that Bradford should be on the mound soon and will likely only be built up as a reliever. I was afraid of that. They never fully trust the young pitchers
Bet he starts next year. We need him likely sooner and he can piggyback I bet

Yeah looks to me like Wyatt has turned the corner
He has decided it is time for him to run the show. It’s his world

Hope this is contagious with the rest of the Rangers. Josh Smith gets it. You build teams around players with this sort of mojo

We will be all right long term

Really good AB by Leody. He had command of the plate and was looking for his pitch.
Lowe has a hard time even when he makes decent cuts squaring it unless he goes oppo
The LF should cover the line better

Seager missed a lot of center cut balls
Timing must be off

I bet he goes into ST as the 6th or 7th starting pitcher, at best, in their minds. They will acquire more and consider him the low man.

Leody will always have short-term outbursts and occasional good at bats even in his prolonged slumps. At this point, he is what he has been. He has certainly had long enough to prove otherwise.

can’t disagree
Only can hope but looks like a transition has been made

Leody was 3 for his last 50 ABs before the HR yesterday.

3 for 50 since May 31.

Hopefully he starts a hot streak that lasts through July...so we can trade him.

Guardians club Mariners 6-3. Seattle will have to pick up a bat or two because their hitting is anemic. Last time I checked the team average was 1 percentage point above the A’s and White Sox. That puts a lot of pressure on the starting rotation even if it’s the best in the majors.

Maybe they will give us a good reliever prospect for Grossman.

i'd say 4th or 5th behind deGrom, Eovaldi and Mahle
