Series Thread: Rangers Travel to Milwaukee For Three Games June 24-26

[DT LUNA]

True based on hindsight. But based on what Latz had been doing lately out of the pen I was okay with the move.

Definitely me too.

Probably not if he wants to be traded to the Yankees.

From Shawn McFarland:

Bruce Bochy said that they sent Josh Jung back to Texas to be checked out. He did not swing today. Bochy said he can’t say when Jung will rejoin the team, but it could be on this road trip.

Wasn't it more that he wouldn't refuse to go to the Yankees, like he once said was the case.

From a Twitter user:

Nathaniel Lowe ranks among 1B with 150 PA this season

.256 AVG (10th)
.351 OBP (7th)
.338 SLG (28th)
.313 wOBA (23rd)
.305 xwOBA (22nd)
100 wRC+ (22nd)
0.6 fwar (T-17th)
2 HR (T-last)

Power has completely disappeared out of his game

From Kennedi Landry:

Rangers GM Chris Young: “He’s dealing with a little of — we'll call it tendon inflammation just above the surgical site. It's really related to the buildup.

“We think it’ll calm down with a little bit of time and rest.”

Young did not seem overly concerned.

From Shawn McFarland:

RHP Izack Tiger — the No. 18 prospect in the DMN’s top 30 — has been promoted from the ACL to Single-A Down East.

It doesn't sound like he wants to be traded there at all. He is just not as adamantly opposed to it like he was before.

From Shawn McFarland:

Chris Young on Max Scherzer, who reported some thumb soreness after Sunday's start: "Just evaluating it — especially early on here — kind of on a daily basis. We don't want to put Max in harms way."

I would kick the tires on Guerrero Jr just to see if he would have any interest in the Rangers.

 

[saddles]

Before the season started I said I expected Scherzer to get no more than 14 starts this year. Now I am wondering if it is going to be much closer to 4 starts.

What would you give up for a season and a couple of months from him?

 

[DT LUNA]

At least Bombi did not K.
Seager and Smith did a job. 1-0 in 1st.

 

[DT LUNA]

Reminder: Game starts 1:00 tomorrow

Don’t know what I’d give up, but Lowe would have to be in the deal.

Might add Leody in there too.

Pretty disappointing like a bait and switch

Jung needs serous MLN armor. He is great at 3B but maybe 1B is safer

 

[Kelleyman]

He is set to make 20 million I hear for next year but yeah live to have him

To give them Lowe makes no sense
He can easily be nontendered next year
