Series Thread: Rangers Travel to Boston For Three Games May 6-8

[saddles]

From Jared Sandler:

Tyler Mahle is MLB’s only qualifying SP who has yet to allow a HR. He’s yielded a .212 SLG which is easily the best in MLB.

1—MAHLE, .212
2—Crochet, .251
3—H. Brown, .264
3—Yamamoto, .264
5—Fried, .265

Baseball America has their new Top 100 Prospects List out. Walcott moves all the way up to #8. Rocker falls all the way to #61. Rosario falls all the way off the list.

Yeison Morrobel is back in action after having a disappointing season cut short last year due to injury. He played one game in the Complex League in Arizona last week and makes his 2025 debut with the Spartanburgers today. So far he has gone 2 for 3 with a double and 4 RBI, today. It would be great to see him get back on track. This organization needs some more hitting prosoects.

A great outing from Kohl Drake today.

From Minor League Baseball's Twitter:

@Rangers prospects Kohl Drake, Ryan Lobus and Skylar Hales combine to toss the first @RidersBaseball no-no since July 29, 2011!

Maybe Crim pinch hits
Looks like same lineup

From Shawn McFarland:

Kevin Pillar is going on the IL with a back strain. Ezequiel Duran will rejoin the team.

 

[Kelleyman]

Looks like Zeke is being called up for Kevin P

It would probably have to be against Wilson or Chapman when Pederson is due up.

Hope he gets some ABs. Playing steadily at AAA he was really doing well. But it would have to be against a LHer.

 

[saddles]

It looks like the Rangers will be playing a man short because they decided so late to make the move. Duran was playing in El Paso this afternoon and was removed after hitting 3 times. His average was up to .345 with an OPS of 1.063.

 

[saddles]

Crim, Harris, and Duran filling the 3 non-catcher bench spots. This is probably the youngest those 3 positions have been in a while. No Grossman, no Ahmed, no Jankowski and no Brad Miller types.

Crim should have PH for Pedersen in his last AB against a LEFT hander when he tried to bunt with 2 strikes. He was overmatched. Rediculous AB and robbed Crim. Complete insanity.

Absolutely it was insanity!!

Relay from Carter to Seager to Heim was a run saving play. excellant defense.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Why would you not intentionally walk their best hitter!!!

 

[Duane1952]

Pitching to Bregman was dumb. He already had 2 hits.

 

[DTLUNA]

You would imo walk him. More bad decision making.
