6 thru 9 is a recipe for disaster. No Semien.

Great play by Langford.

Langford continues to shine. This time on defense.

Can’t believe there isn’t anyone else they could call up. Anderson is terrible.

I would like to see them try one of two relievers having success down in Frisco. Tyler Owens and Skylar Hales

I am trying to remember what happened to Brett Martin.

Bochy claims Knizner has not become Scherzer's personal catcher even though he has caught Scherzer all three times he has pitched. Bochy says it just worked out that way. I guess we will find out next Tuesday, as it is not a day game after a night game.

I am trying to remember what happened to Brett Martin.

He was on the 60 day after shoulder surgery in 2023 all season.

He was on the 60 day after shoulder surgery in 2023.

Then they non-tendered him, effectively releasing him. He still shows up as being a Ranger on MLB.com and Baseball Reference. He has no stats for this season.

He was out all 2023 season.

Langford guns him down!!!

Perfect throw by Langford

Sborz threw 1.1 scoreless innings last night, striking out 2.

32%, Alejandro Rosario
31%, Kohl Drake
28%, Skylar Hales
28%, Jose Gonzalez
23%, Winston Santos

The best spread for those who've spent the year in AA and/or AAA belongs to Jack Leiter at 20%.
