2nd time leody has struck out watching strike 3 in the outside corner. He looks like he's standing too far off the plate.
Grand slam won't even tie the game here
Fitting way to end this **** show
Nobody seemed to want to be out there tonight. Wonder why.

Jung hasn't played more than 78 games. Ever. He's now at 75. I think he's a candidate for some extended time off. Leverage the ASB and some of these games leading up to get him a good part of a week off, give or take. The last thing they need to do is run his ass ragged in this 14 game stretch
this!!! Jung needs a big break but all star game wont help probably.
I think that happens more than we realize coming home from a road trip. 1st game can be real lethargic.PatriotAg02 said:

I used to travel and the 1st day back I really had to decompress for re-entry. The wife was all like "blah blah blah blah blah blah blah." And I'm like, "Can I get a break? You don't have to give me a daily replay while I was gone."
Then, you've gotta deal with a pissed off wife who has been waiting for you to get home to do all the things you missed.
This team has been bad since the TB series. Seems like pitchers have them crossed up pretty good. They're late in fastballs, when they get 2 strikes, they don't throw anything good to hit and wait for us to get ourselves out swinging at some garbage pitch out of the strike zone.
The umpires have screwed us in the ass so many times that we might as well get used to it. That call on Jung was absurdly bad and could've been the turning point to help us get back into the game. Whatever.
At some point tho, you have to hit and we appear to be over anxious or desperate for the big hit with guys on base and just can't seem to get it.
Jung is striking out more than anyone in the league right now.
Seager and semien are cold
Garver sucks. Can't wait until he's off the team. Worthless.
Starting pitching has regressed quite a bit.
Hitters striking out swinging at strike 3 instead of taking balls / working walls.
Just don't seem to be prepared or have a plan at the plate right now at all.

Was with you till you said Garver sucks. Did he have a bad game? Yes. So did everyone not named Semien and Duran. His ops+ is 111. Find me a 7 hole hitter/ backup catcher that is higher,
16k's tonight for the offense.
The formula is first pitch down the middle because they are taking or will be late swinging at the fastball. Next pitch on the corner get them to foul it off. Waste a pitch and then a change up, slider or sinker in the dirt for the K.
Garcia caught on and nailed Englert's first pitch down the middle though. Good for him, but there should be a team meeting or the hitting coach needs to make some adjustment's because this performance was unbelievably terrible.

This might have been the worst loss / overall performance of the season so far. DET loses their first two pitchers and we couldn't take advantage. Just awful ABs up and down the lineup. The bats are in an ugly rut and we gotta figure it out.
Let's talk Heaney.
Good news is that with his outing today, he is "Qualified" in terms of having enough IP (78.0). He sits 28th at 4.38.
His 5.2 IP helps save some of the BP. If this were later in the season, he'd have likely been pulled after 3.0.
What makes me curious about Heaney is... he might just be hitting a wall that he needs to push through. But, he could just be tired and need some recovery/rest time.
He could have 2 more GS (Houston and Boston) before the ASB. I wouldn't be upset to see him moved to the 10IL for rest and miss both of those GS before the ASB. Otto has 3 GS in AAA (last on 6/24). Not sure where he is with the whole bring him up for a couple weeks and then send him back down.
Without a team day off, it will be tough. Bradford could take the GS and then Heaney in a shortened outing?!
I'd like to see Heaney burn innings.
He could still get 16 GS. If he does and goes 4.5IP/GS, he will reach 150 IP and his 2024 Option becomes $20M. Each GS he might miss will diminish the chance to reach $20M (a $6.5-7M bump). I don't think the Rangers will do anything funny (hope they don't) to limit, but I'm also concerned Heaney may try to fight through something that needs some rest.

That's the Grape I've grown to love.

"I saw there was a rumor out there today regarding an offensive player that literally we've had zero contact with that team so where that rumor came from, it really is amazing to me that those things get floated like that https://t.co/hlbNRvPdI1

Attempting to disspell the rumor... CYoung fell into the trap that he will now have to either confirm, deny, or "no comment" any rumor.
If he is unwilling to comment... oh boy. LoL.
WOW! Almost a full 2 run advantage to Detroit

That obviously had a huge impact on the game
Jung, Semien, Seager and Heim all lead their position in ASG voting as of the latest update.
Honestly wouldn't mind a few days off for all of them but also pretty cool.

I would love to see a graph that had GP on the horizontal and the Vertical being how the ump impacted the game.
I think overall trends would be telling.

BTW... for those that missed the news... Owen White was selected for the AS Futures Game.
I'm glad those umpire scorecards make sense to you guys, because I can't wrap my songwriter head around it. I have to wait until you react to know if it was good or bad.
Jimbo Franchione
Kiddos got to meet Nate Lowe this morning, autographed a couple balls for them. Super nice guy.

click on the pic image up above and you can see the full image, it helps understand it a little better. Under each stat is a brief blurb of an explanation, but this is still pretty new to me as well.

And yes, I did find the above part interesting as well. Saw the info in your profile, will check more into it later when I have more time. But pretty cool.
Nathaniel dammit!gigem1223 said:

I know. I just can't bring myself to calling someone Nathaniel
Jankowski back tonight. Taveras and Jung with the night off.
Also Speas promoted to AAA. I bet we see him in a Ranger uniform before end of summer. From LSB: "In 28.1 innings over 23 games for Frisco, Speas has allowed opponents to put up just a .133/.252/.184 slash line, with 47 Ks against 13 walks, putting up a 0.64 ERA. Since a four run outing against Wichita on May 11, Speas has allowed just one unearned run over 18 innings, striking out 32 of 66 batters faced."

Thank you Jesus Speas got the call-up. It's about time.
Sad news for Boyd. TJ. 
Right call by Bochy to give Leody, Jung and Garver (although I think he's just not that good tbh) the night off after their strikeouts last night. I think he can tell that this team and the guys have hit a wall mentally and physically.
Tiguhs are hot
Perez is getting the ground balls but they're all finding gaps. Frustrating.
Insane the amount of bad luck this this team has had lately. We're overdue for some good fortune.
This team has developed a habit of going down early. Gotta get that corrected stat.
And of course as soon as a we have a risp. The ump widens the zone. Like clock work
Holy ***** I knew it was bad but 157 (now 159) LOB in our last 18 games? That is insane.
