Series Thread: Rangers host the Royals May 30 - June 2

I doubt it. Maybe Lodolo could go before one of them, but not any other pitcher, and I highly doubt Lodolo goes that high.

Maybe we should pick a pitcher then, if we don’t get one.

Lodolo is the only one that needs to be picked in our range. I think I am leaning toward Bishop over Lodolo. There are second rung hitters better than most of the first pitchers that will be taken.

Seems like I read that the Rangers are worst in the league in inducing swing and misses.
End result a lot of foul balls

Oppo shot. Really nice swing by Maz

It was an emphasis for us in the offseason. We are still bad at it, but it’s improved a lot since last year.

KC ain't rolling over as was thought by some.

 

[Kelleyman]

Here it is. Dead last for now. Maybe if we get a few of the young flamethrower support this might change

 

[DT LUNA]

Roogie keeps regressing. Last AB was awful.

 

[Kelleyman]

Near the best in all minor league baseball in HRs though

 

[DT LUNA]

Miller found some lead in his pencil

I'm not sure what Cabrera was looking for there, BC he got a fastball right down the middle

Odor 0-4 3 K's. To heck with the process. I'll do it the Roogie way. Garbage

He’s adhering to the process. He punched Bautista. He likes ponies. Everyone on the team likes him.

*WHOOPIE CUSHION FART*

I only give a shit about what happens on the field and this guy doesn’t bring it.

Odor 0-4 3 K's. To heck with the process. I'll do it the Roogie way. Garbage

Santana was available to PH in the 9th. Woody had his head in his back pocket.

Fairbanks debuts in AAA, Barlow and Evans in AA

Game One for Frisco saw Joe Barlow make his AA debut, needing 13 pitches (9 strikes) to retire the side in order, one via strikeout. C.D. Pelhamstruck out a batter in an inning of work while allowing a run on 2 hits. Game Two for Frisco featured the AA debut of Demarcus Evans, who needed 10 pitches (9 strikes) to retire all three batters he faced. Emmanuel Clase also had a scoreless inning in Game Two, striking out one.

Evans and Barlow’s former Wood Duck teammate Peter Fairbanks made his AAA debut for Nashville, striking out a pair of batters and allowing a single in an inning of work.

Maybe some bullpen help by the second half of the season.

It maybe time to put Leclerc as the 8th inning guy and see how he does.
