Series Thread: Rangers Travel to Baltimore For Four Games June 27-30

[saddles]

From Texas Rangers PR:

After his cycle tonight in Baltimore, Rangers OF Wyatt Langford is the first rookie in MLB history with a cycle, grand slam, and inside-the-park home run in a season.

Grossman 0-6, Wendzel 0-4. Both need to be gone.

Not soon enough. Enough is enough

 

[fanman8825]

Grossman 0-6 in this rout. Batting third of all places. He should be batting tenth. Traded a prospect for him. This defies all logic.

It’s a disgrace to have him in the 3rd hole. He left more runs off the board today

From the Roughriders twitter feed:

Emiliano Teodo is done after a brilliant outing!

FINAL LINE: 6.0 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 10 K

 

[saddles]

From Tepid:

Josh Sborz threw his second consecutive scoreless inning for Round Rock. A quick 8 pitches (7 strikes). Only threw 3 FBs and they were 93, 94 and 93, which I don’t love, but whatever. CB was biting though.

From Tepid:

Another very good outing for Emiliano Teodo. 6ip, 2h, 0er, 1bb, 10k, 81p(50s). His SL is diabolical. FB command still tuning, but he’s getting there. No prob hittin’ 100mph in his last inning. Just checking boxes and putting in the work this summer,

From Jared Sandler:

What was so impressive about Langford's cycle was that his speed created it.

Single? Infield single.
Double? Routine single
Triple: Probably a double for most.

 

[Nightcrawler]

Wendzel needs more seasoning in the minors. Kid is way way outmatched up here,

 

[scotsman#1948]

after last night i envision a trade package of Adolis and Leody being offered

 

[scotsman#1948]

From Jeff Wilson:

Ornelas will serve as infield depth until the Corey Seager is resolved. If Seager hits the IL, Ezequiel Duran could be recalled

the real question is do we even think that the management will bring Duran back up if Seager goes on the IL? especially if he's back in the doghouse with Bochy and the coaches.

 

[jaar01]

Marcus Semien is in the worst slump of his career. Batting under .200 since mid May. What, exactly, will it take to move him down in the order at this point?

He is 5 for his last 62 ABs.

I understand loyalty. But this is not that. Something has to give.

 

[saddles]

From Scott Lucas:

Emiliano Teodo posted double-digit strikeouts for a second time this season, walked only one, and once again prevented any extra-base hits. He's allowed 11 extra bases on hits all season. Teodo has the best swinging strike rate (17.4%) and fourth-best grounder rate (48%) among 24 Texas League qualifiers.

 

[saddles]

the real question is do we even think that the management will bring Duran back up if Seager goes on the IL? especially if he's back in the doghouse with Bochy and the coaches.

We have no proof that he is in a doghouse or that he ever was. I think him bring in the minors is more of a CY decision.

 

[scotsman#1948]

We have no proof that he is in a doghouse or that he ever was. I think him bring in the minors is more of a CY decision.

and you'd probably be wrong but who knows. although all the indicators say doghouse

 

[saddles]

and you'd probably be wrong but who knows. although all the indicators say doghouse

Yeah, we are all wrong at times.

 

[Kelleyman]

Our OF is developing into a very good one. Maybe Taveras is on the way out.

Looks like a
Platoon to me

 

[Kelleyman]

Duran to me is just going down to figure it out.
He has a lot of talent and MLB pop

If a guy like Onelas is up he plays little

But it Corey fire to IL then yes let’s play Duran daily at 3B

 

[DT LUNA]

Looks like a
Platoon to me

I believe it wil be Langford LF, Carter CF, Hill or Garcia RF. Taversa and Ski traded or dfa'd.

 

[saddles]

Congratulations to Wyatt Langford and Josh Smith. They were named co-winners of the Rangers’ player of the month award for June.

That portends great things for the future of this team.
