Correa needs something to boost his May numbers.

5 for 43 at the plate with 1 x-base hit

It's not helping his $200M cause. Lindor also isn't helping by looking like the new Pujols.

Looking at the standings...we're the only team in the division with a plus run differential (and a healthy +45 at that). Everyone else is in the red. That being said we're mainly responsible for this anomaly.

We now trail Oakland by 1.5 games. We have 3 more vs the Rangers and they have 3 more vs the Twins then its Astros @ A's. That series should give us a chance to overtake them.

I don't think any full explanation has come out. Just 2 fans talking ****.

That's the most Rangers way to lose the game. LOL

Did you forget the game vs. the A's in 2019 where Bregs had a full-swing bunt, Lucroy tried to tag him, dropped the ball, and then bounced his throw to first off Bregman's helmet allowing the game winning run to score?

I'm glad that second tweet clarifies it because the dude telling the story made it confusing as hell.

I was thinking about that game but wasn't it the rangers that dropped an infield fly right in front of the mound for a walkoff in 18/19?

I'll never forget TK and Blummer's reaction. They were calling the game from CF and they were just in awe of what happened. A lot of 'What just happened here?' and laughing.

It was glorious

Yeah, I think you're right.

The Mrs. and I took the boys to that A's game. The years kinda run together recently though. I do remember being pissed at the bullpen gacking up that big lead and then when we scored the winning run we were all extremely confused and like "WTF just happened here?" It wasn't until we got home and saw the highlights that it became clear Lucroy skipped his throw to first off Bregman's helmet.

I thought that was Hosmer and the Padres.

Bregman too and the same season as the As walk off dink. Bregman had two walk offs that didn't make it half way to 1st that season

Super small sample size but screw it... Lets give Siri a shot soon

He had a monster game yesterday. Bases loaded double and a grand slam





Here are his 2 HRs from last week. Both 430+ feet

I thought it was at Minute Maid and Derek Fisher was the scoring run... not sure though

Here is a really good write up on Siri from this past March. Talks about his path through the minors and discusses his strengths and weaknesses on offense and defense.

It was. It was against the Padres, and Hosmer is the one who dropped the pop up

Okay - that makes sense now. My brain was on a conference call when I read that...

His swing reminds me of Mark McGwire. If we get that kind of production, let's call him up!

Siri's MiLB record is a long one. Maybe he's just a late bloomer.

Hopefully he got on the push-ups and chicken diet

That is new. It certainly wasn't there last year.

I don't have high hopes for what he can do but as the old saying goes, hunger is the best cook.....and I'm hungry for a CF. Candidly I'd settle for him sucking as much as Straw offensively but actually playing good defense.

It looks like he will strike out a lot but offers much more power. On defense he apparently plays gold glove level CF

I'm sure Click wants to see more than a weeks worth of good hitting plus, as mentioned in the comments on that tweet, waiting until mid June gives the club an extra year of control and time to figure out the 40 man roster issue.

I'm just interested in seeing something different rather than Straw or McCormick

Siri still has a high k rate and low walk rate in these games, I doubt this anything more than a hot streak

Did they give an update post-game last night on Urquidy?
