He's just been what he has been for a while - a platoon player. He crushes against lefties, but can't hit right handed pitching at all.PatAg said:I loved Nap during his first stint here, but he has been garbage this year. Just looks completely lost at the plate.Squirrel Master said:

Dillon Gee making his first start against, of all teams, the Mets, tonight. Given that he pitched 4 innings on Friday, I'm sure they aren't expecting him to go particularly deep on 3 days rest, so you can probably view this game as a Minor League-esque tandem start with him and ABD, with the hopes that each pitch around ~3 innings and get you into the 7th. Neither guy should see a batter for a 3rd time, so this arrangement and the days off allow for this optimal utilization of each.
Over the weekend, there was some concern that Nap's back problems could force a DL stint, depending on how he felt yesterday and today. No announcement yet, but lineup not announced yet either, so should find out later today if he's good to stay with team or if he'll be getting a week off and Drew Robinson will get a 3rd cup this year.

Tuning in to Rangers Pregame - lots of hoping, wishing, and excuses. Although, Emily looked particularly good tonight. Summers are way better when the Rangers arent getting their teeth kicked in every night.
Dyson to the Giants. Somehow I feel like we'll see him pitch meaningful innings and well sooner rather than later. Eff the Giants but good luck to him. He was a good dude in my opinion
I didn't see Lucroy dive back on the double and was wondering how the **** he didn't make it home. Just thought it was the usual Lucroy slowness.
Geez the final score of this game might be 20-19
I guess Gee once pitched at places where belt high fastballs weren't crushed.,
But seriously how are the golf event outlines still not gone.
Gee getting absolutely hammered

They're atrocious.
Just like the pitch count for Gee tonight!
I fee like a grand slam is coming
So the rest of the season storylines:
Can we sneak into the wild card with a good run?
The Beltre quest for 3k.
Can we somehow sneak away with the Silver Boot again.
Will the golf event outlines last until the end of the season or until the new stadium?

You may be right.
In Brooklyn right now for work so I'm watching the Mets broadcast. They kept showing deGrom in the dugout after that last inning and he seriously looked like he had been crying. Manager had his arm around him trying to console him.
Ummm
Just a mediocre team. Even when we have a game in th bag we find a way to make it close. We might very well lose this game up 5 in the bottom of the 9th
So it wasnt Dyson. It's just that the Rangers closer position is cursed.
And of course Banister is gonna let bush keep pitching.
Up 5 runs in the 9th, tying run on base with 3 already in and Bush hasn't got an out. And Banister is leaving him in there with Kela ready.
Gotta be the most stubborn guy I've ever seen

Wow, no lead is safe with this bullpen.
This is starting to become a joke.
Unbelievable. Luckier than a two peckered goat.
Finally banister's stubborn reliance on a player pays off.
Bibbens-Dirx with him first win! Also Astros lost 9-7.

I can't believe this wasn't starred/discussed more...
Beltre is in a walking boot. His body may finally be giving out on him.
Sprained ankle. Ouch! (for him and us.)
A's fans hung an Odor jersey on the right field fence to troll Joey bats tonight.
Doubt he's going back on the DL. He might miss a game or two but he'll play through it
Beltre needs 48Hs to reach 3,000.
Okay so what the hell is up with Gomez? I thought initially he had a strained hamstring, and I forget what the recovery time was supposed to be but it feels like he's been out for a pretty long time. The nagging injuries on this team have been so annoying.
They said from the start Gomez was going to be out about 6 weeks or so. I think he's still on pace for that return, from what little I've heard. Certainly haven't heard anything about a setback.
If you miss a call that badly; you don't deserve to be an umpire anymore.
Wish we could have gotten more than 1 run out of a bases loaded, no outs situation. Give Darvish a bigger lead to work with so he could pound the strike zone and pitch deep into the game
That was an outstanding 4 strike walk.
This ump has the smallest strike zone I've seen in a while. At least he seems to be calling it both ways
2 hits. Both hr's. Vomit.
