Chase Lee has given up 1 run on 6 hits and 4 walks over his last 9 innings while striking out 11. Ideally, he should be given more time, but desperate times calls for desperate measures. Give him another inning for Round Rock tonight. If he does well again, bring him up.

It is probably time to see what Hearn can do as well.

The thing I am seeing is a lack of poise. And if Lee has which he should, it would be good to see. He was once a closer so he is used to leverage situations

Hearn, after 2 good outings, had 2 bad outings and was shown the door. That was after pitching successfully out of the pen last year. Why the extremely short leash with him and so much patience with these other guys?

There is little patience with these other guys or Hearn because of their inconsistency. The difference is there’s no options available in their cases. Bring up inconsistent to replace inconsistencies doesn’t solve anything. It is time to look at other options

Other than disregarding the bullpen don’t think he messed up and he’s already seeing it was a mistake
Has he. What I’ve heard from is that he thinks the bullpen is ok. I have yet to hear him say the bullpen is a problem. At the rate this bullpen is going the Rangers won’t even be a wild card team. With a decent bullpen they should have a least a 5 game lead.

I thought I would check on how Englert is doing. He is certainly not the answer in the pen for most teams. For Detroit though, he is good enough to keep around this year. We aren't getting him back like so many on twitterverse suggested we would. He will go to their AA or AAA team next year and then be in their 2025 rotation.

If it truly is a confidence issue then Hernandez and Leclerc can come back and be effective and that’s what they’re hoping for.
I have no idea what they’re hoping for in Sborz because there isn’t any. Bochy likes his arm but I keep seeing him going to the mound and taking the ball from his hand.
