The Jung era begins: Jung vs B Jays - Jung/9-11

Terrible. Walks just kill you. This very typical

 

[saddles]

I will see what I can get accomplished tomorrow night.

Jung joins Profar as the only Rangers to have hit a home run in their first big league at bat.

 

[DT LUNA]

Terrible. Walks just kill you. This very typical

Failure to hit will kill you too. RISP=fail

 

[scotsman1948]

Smith was overpowered IMO
Did not handle the high hard stuff
Work to do

at best Josh Smith will be a bench player and never become a starter

 

[scotsman1948]

Not to rag on Smith but he may not have the arm for the OF even LF. Hate to see a guy tag up on him there mid course LeClerc did us no favors.

We shall be watching Josh likely best suited for SS. I would keep him

and he has Seager, Semien, Ornelas & Acuna ahead of him at SS and 2B. he has Jung, Duran and maybe Harris and Crim ahead of him at 3rd. and he has Thompson, Taveras, Garcia, Carter, Zavala, Gutierrez and probably JP Martinez ahead of him the outfield.

 

[Duane1952]

Failure to hit will kill you too. RISP=fail

And walks.

 

[saddles]

In his first night back in the minors, Duran was 0 for 6 with 3 strikeouts. Maybe a case of the return-to-the-minors blues.

 

[Kelleyman]

Long term Josh Smith is competing against Acuna and Ornelas in that order. Smith best value as a player not taking our lineup into consideration is shortstop l. He has the arm for that I believe

 

[Kelleyman]

He was ticked off about his last strikeout

oh well thank you for pissing on the parade

 

[Duane1952]

Don’t forget Monday is a day/night double header.

 

[saddles]

Lol

Maybe just 10, but who's counting.

Well half empty or half full. I like Josh and think he will be real good and a middle of the order bat that can play on a championship level team

I get to see Jung, Smith and Huff tonight. Quite the trifecta.

And, I get to see a lot of the bullpen.

I think they saved Arihara just for me, like I got to watch Hearn start in Detroit.
