The Grill serves up some clam chowder this weekend: BOS @ TEX 5/13-15

Pretty good article that highlights Coach Eckers approach. Good metrics on the swing

FWIW if a person does not buy into the coaches approach there is a problem and likely not with the coach. Might be some coddling

I will take your word for it. Weaver's articles are painfully wordy for me. He must be paid by the word.

MLB aid not easy even for media darling stars to be

Interesting enough former Ranger Adrian Sampson involved in the call up

I like Ibanez. Can play every IF position.

i like him too just like i like White and Solak but we have 15 prospects that we have to either add to the 40-man this off-season or trade or leave unprotected during the rule-5 draft and those 15 don't include Leiter and several others:

Jung
Winn
Harris
O. White
Wendzel
Hauver
Thompson
Braford
Kent
Ragans
Weems
Crim
Acuna
Acosta

i've probably missed 2 or 3 others that will become eligible for the rule-5 so i'm figuring we're going to have to leave 5+ uncovered and hope they don't get selected.

Ha he is the MLB poet Laureate. I like some and think he is talented but a baseball lifer NOPE

 

[saddles]

Do you think ETA of Aug/Sept is real since he has not started workouts.

That still gives a lot of time left so I would imagine so.

Think this is our best lineup with Garver down.

Well might have White in vs Kole even with RHP on mound

Rangers making decent contact but right to people

 

[WastinSomeTime]
