Series Thread: Rangers Host the Twins for Three Games September 1-3

There are several on Twitter who have thought Taveras would push Carter to LF. Lol

Hope not. Don’t think Taveras will be here next season

Update to this: Bruce Bochy said they'll monitor how Scherzer feels in the next 2-3 days and see where he's at after his bullpen.

The plan is still for Scherzer to start Wed. vs. Houston.

"We'll be smart about it. If he feels fatigued in his bullpen, we'll push him back."

FWIW still think Leody defense is overrated as well

Since the ASB, there are 156 MLB players with at least 150 PAs. In that time, Leody Taveras ranks 155th in wOBA. His spot in order has essentially been empty the entire second half

Ouch - what a crash so this I get the JPM cry out. But make no mistake they are placeholders for Evan Carter

I am not a fan of the wOBA formula.

No JPM.

 

[scotsman1948]

No JPM.

About what I expected

Leody Tavares has gone from one of the biggest surprises in baseball to one of the worst position players in all of baseball in a few short months. Amazing.

Give Huff a hand.

Huff and El Bombi

That was quite a bomb by Huff

Almost 3 HRS. Cutter failing Dallas K

Give Huff a hand.

He looks more relaxed at the plate. Ball was in on him and he still hit it 430 feet.

They would take 4 times through the order. Not sure he can fdonthst effectively

 

[Duane1952]

At least Montgomery got some early run support.

At this point I’m not sure he’s gonna get to a third…

We are a mess.
