The Rangers force the Nationals to deal with Nate Lowe's stupid face: WSH @ TEX 6/24-26

[DT LUNA]

Should have moved Lowe up

Seager needs to live up to his contract

 

[DT LUNA]

This may be another BP game.

I have no problem getting Duran experience in AAA. Do need Huff to play daily somewhere and he needs to catch. The big issue is Garver playing injured at DH in essence blocking Huff.
I don’t mind seeing Duggar a few games before sending him down and yeah eventually both he and White won’t have a roster spot
A guy like Culbertson is more likely to be a roster casualty first.

“From @EliasSports: The highest OPS averages among major-league SS this season belong to Xander Bogaerts (.890), Dansby Swanson (.882) and Trea Turner (.873)”

They’re all Free agents at end of year

Getting kind of old, players tearing it up on their contract year, then suck after signing contract. Then when owners and GMs don’t want to spend money the players trip, but the players aren’t doing theirselves any favors by not living up to their contracts

 

[Kelleyman]

Just a joke but sure but what do you do in the meanwhile.
He needs a reset meaning a day or 2 off and maybe a new spot in the order.
Don’t need a strikeout guy or GB guy batting 3rd for now

 

[DT LUNA]

Good to see BP activity

Sure looking like it.
The Rangers may need to start looking for some SP help..

 

[Kelleyman]

Re Ragans a guy I always liked regardless when he comes up. What a rocket climb from not being protected rule 5 to likely being a major league pitcher this year

 

[DT LUNA]

Nelson still getting it done.

 

[Bmurph]

Seager needs to live up to his contract

Maybe the next 9 years

 

[Kelleyman]

He just retweeted this
I disagree with his assessment

Forget WC. We are having trouble with the Nats. lol

This organization did a lousy job with the BP in the offseason as usual and not having enough proven SP was a glaring weakness, Ray Charles could have seen too.

or a struggling Seager (sit the guy for fuck's sake). This cat talking to Evan is pretty spot on

I understand not being thrilled with Seager at the moment. But he's signed for what - 6/7 more years - and I refuse to get too bent outta shape after 90 days. Has it been disappointing to date? Absolutely....But let's not think about panicking at this early junction.

I like your point about having a great year in the contract season, and then folding once signed. But isn't this on the FO people around the league to figure this out and not the player? It seems you've got it down and you're being paid squat. Why can't those guys making millions to do likewise? Your point is rock solid. And frankly, it happens so often it damn near seems easy to recognize, yet here we are.

They said the Rangers won the off-season per some but lest we forget they lost over a 100 games.

I had zero expectation for playoffs and did not expect them to get more than 2 SP immediately. Have to see how guys played out. Obviously Howard Hearn and now Otto don’t immediately look like starters

 

[Bmurph]

and this is where BP games bite your ass. Good thing Hearn threw 4 innings yesterday

 

[Kelleyman]

 

[Bmurph]

Yankees are getting no-hit again through 6....

16 innings now, since their last hit in the 8th inning, on Friday. Blow them up, trade or DFA everyone

 

[Bmurph]

Beat me by 30 seconds...
