I get that. When they call Your number you have to show inless you are ready to retireI’m sure Will Smith is a nice and stand-up guy. But he, along with all of our other bullpen failures who are probably super nice guys as well, don’t need to wear the Rangers uniform ever again. I compare it to Elvis’s last year with the Rangers, when he was so bad he was hurting the team. It was very hard for me as a fan to watch, because I had not only met Elvis on multiple occasions but also hung out with him for quite a while with the rest of the players and their families after games. Elvis is as genuinely nice of a guy as you will find in MLB. I will always be an Elvis Andrus fan. As a fan, you WANT to root for the good guys like Elvis. But he was hurting the team with his performance, just like Will Smith is now. At that point, they have to go. Same thing happened with Joey Gallo. Super nice guy. Owned up to every one of his strikeouts. Admitted he had a big problem with whiffing, was even able to make fun of himself for it. Zero ego. But he had to go.
I wish our bullpen guys nothing but the best. But every last one of them except for maybe Stratton needs to go. Brock Burke seems salvageable with the right coaching or a mental reset, because he has put up decent numbers before. So maaaaaybe keep him. Maybe.
Bochy was very awkward in interview. Looks like he knows his guy has no FB
