From Jared Sandler:

Via Rangers, each of Marcus Semien's last 638 starts beg. 5/4/21 have come in the 3rd spot or higher (520-1st, 85-2nd, 33-3rd)...He's hitting 5th for the third time in his career.

 

[saddles]

From Jared Sandler:

Langford in 8 games batting 2nd

333/.389/.697/1.086 (11-33)
3 HR
3B
2B
11 RBI

 

[saddles]

Santos goes to DL.

Church goes to DL with oblique. That could be a while.

Bonzagni goes to DL with elbow inflammation. That could be a very long time.

 

[saddles]

Ahlstrom has been promoted to AAA.

 

[Kelleyman]

I saw someone comment on a YouTube video that the Rangers put out with Sandler, that they should put Smith leading off with Wyatt hitting second. Of course some know it all had to tell them how little they knew about baseball to suggest that. Then that is exactly what they did. Lol

The phrase that irritates me is
They don’t know ball

lol

 

[saddles]

Leiter went 4.1 innings giving up 0 runs on 1 hit and 1 walk, while striking out 4.

 

[saddles]

Carter already has a double tonight.

 

[saddles]

Santos has a stress reaction in his lower back and will be out 8 to 10 weeks.

 

[saddles]

From Scott Lucas:

In his rehab outing, Jack Leiter took a liner off his back with 1 out in the 4th. Fortunately hit the "good" part; was briefly attended to and stayed in, no worse for wear. 4.2 IP, 1 H, 1 BB, 4 SO, 60 pitches, 40 strikes. Ks on slider, curve, slider, 4S, plus for other whiffs.

 

[saddles]

From The Prospect Times:

RHP Leandro Lopez (3.38) had a fantastic outing for the Spartanburgers. His line:

— 5 IP
— 0 R
— 3 H
— 0 BB
— 8 SO
— 65/46 strikes

Doesn’t matter where you bat Pederson,the results are the same.

Doesn’t matter where you bat Pederson,the results are the same.

If I did my math right, Pederson’s 0-39 hit less streak has cost the Rangers 1.1 Million in salary. That’s how much Corbin is being paid for the whole year.

Sounds about right.

Little late to the party but finally Smith gets to lead off. I like it and the rest of the lineup is interesting.

 

[fanman8825]

Doesn’t matter where you bat Pederson,the results are the same.

How long does the madness continue. Would like to see if he got a hit would it lead to a streak

 

[fanman8825]

Nice to have Wyatt back

 

[Duane1952]

Leiter can’t get fast enough.

 

[fanman8825]

Leiter can’t get fast enough.

Not sure how much longer Corbin can hang on in this game. It would be nice if our offense can score some runs

 

[Bmurph]

after the top 4 batters in the lineup tonight…there’s very little chance of a hit
