I can't believe they are playing in the rain as hard as it is.

As soon as we get some mojo they pull the tarp out. Hopefully they just postpone this.

Do we have that sort of technology?

We could launch his ass back to the Golden Corral parking lot where he tried out. We have that tech

That said, he's not been totally terrible. Just keep him out of the 9th

Well that ought to get Steele Walker sent back down to the minors. That was pathetic

I feel like Steele Walker must have won a fan contest or something. This dude does not belong here

Agree with others, Steele Walker's name is great playing for the Rangers but that's about the only thing worthy of him being on the MLB roster

I said it at the time, it was a pointless call-up. There's absolutely nothing in his minor league resume that suggests he's ready for the show. I doubt he ever will be.

If Walker is sent down. doesn't look like it'll be Willie taking his spot on the roster From today's Scott Lucas email update, see below. I figured some team would give him a shot, at least in AAA. Ouch.


Quote:

OF Willie Calhoun cleared waivers and was outrighted to Round Rock. He had an option, so any claiming club could have given him a while in AAA to see what he could do, but there were no takers. Texas's AAA roster is in flux at present but has been crowded in the outfield at times, and Calhoun was already down the depth chart before being designated for assignment, so I'm wondering about how much time he has left in the organization.

Defensive positioning in the infield has been really bad so far. White Sox are getting so many cheap hits that would otherwise be outs

Great day for baseball! Ags to Omaha and Rangers complete the comeback and get back in the win column.

Rangers IBB the first batter in the B10 to setup a double-play and it works. Heading to the 11th.
Proposition Joe

Duran with the makeup shot in the 11th, Rangers up 2.

And with the extra innings rules with the free runner on 2nd, I still don't see why we don't see more sac-bunts to third followed by a safety squeeze to plate a run. Seems like if you can plate a run without even needing a hit that is the smartest strategy to take.

And Eli White is done for a while based on the look Culberson just gave.

the way he is holding his arm, separated shoulder possibly?

gigem1223
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Thats unfortunate. Looked like his shoulder. Time to call up Bubba and Leody and send Walker down.
Proposition Joe
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Would love to find a way to win this one. Culberson collides with White but then gets his ass up and goes after the ball and prevents tying run from scoring.

Welp.

Adolis goes gumby to get under the tag.

I"m not sure that you can review out of the baseline; you can review the tag/no tag.

But Garcia is safe on review, so who cares

You cannot.

What terrible decision to tag up there. Even Culberson was surprised as he was in no way preparing to throw a ball to third.

So Winn was pulled today at 4.2 innings with only 64 pitches. Probably just wishful thinking, but there's not a starter named Wednesday yet. Would think Ragans would be first but could we see his debut?

Winn isn't going to be called up IMO. He's been struggling with control all season. In 10 starts, he's only pitched 44 innings and has walked 30, with a 5.44 ERA. Actually, we don't have a starter at AAA with an ERA under 5.
Ragans from AA might be asking a lot, given his injury history, but he's been pitching great at that level.

I'm not sure there's a starter in the minors who's ready to be in the majors in that role.

I hope we don't rush Winn to the majors. Leave him in the minors, work his way up. We are a longshot for a wildcard spot, no need to rush him up IMO.

Ragans? Maybe? He's had surgery twice I believe so the clock is ticking on him. Maybe give him a look, but I'd still rather wait until 2023 for him as well.
