wondering if he will be a target

Seems like either Evan or Jeff has been mentioning him as a possibility since about the beginning of the season.

I was looking at stat lines of closers and he was the best combo of good stats/shitty team

As tough as the first two games were, this matchup against Luis Castillo will be the toughest matchup this series.
Going to need Dunning's A-game and the offense to come alive.
Feeling like the Mariners win this one 3-2.
To me, they are the Rangers' biggest challenge, even more than Houston and LA.

Oakland is the biggest challenge.

Oakland is the biggest challenge.

Wut.

 

[True Rangers Fan]

Wut.

we'll be lucky to split with them. doesn't matter that we are scoring more runs than we ever have, and they are on a historically bad pace. they always find a way to beat us.

They have a decent pitching staff.

Evan Carter sat today. Slump issues

And Ryan Garcia had a terrible game.

 

[saddles]

Our catcher at Down East, Tucker Mitchell, went 1 for 3 today with a double and a walk. His average is now at .368 and his OPS is at 1.047. He has surpassed Evan Carter as our best minor league hitting prospect so far this year.

Marcus homered

Did we bury Josh Smith a little prematurely?

4 for his last 8 with 2 doubles, a HR and a walk.

He seems to at least have a pulse.

A Leody type?

A Leody type?

We will have to wait several hundred more at bats before we can compare him to Leody's career thus far. About 400 more big league plate appearances for Leody at this point, and 2700 more professional plate appearances for Leody.

Good outing by Dunning.

 

[DT LUNA]

Not much board action this series.

 

[saddles]

Dunning with ace-like numbers himself, at this point. Very impressive.
