No thank you on dunning. He can go to the pen too.

Middle fastball in an 0-2 count. Why?

Dunning my man, you do not have the stuff to pitch middle in on two strike counts.

Catchers continue to kill this team. I'd bet the opposing team's catcher's OPS vs the rangers is well over 1.000.

5 consecutive Ks for Dunning. One mistake is the story of the game through 1 1/2.

What do you do with Dunning? Send him to the pen? Who takes his spot in the rotation? He's a good starter, usually. He's not having his best night but he's got 6 Ks. Given up 2 bad bombs for sure. I think he's a starter for the foreseeable future until we get the holy trinity back.

I'll wait for DallasAg to agree or disagree.

He's gives up way too many home runs and misses too often for my liking.

I understand. I really do, but I don't think we have another option right now. Maybe Gray. Did we move him to the pen? No one really knows right now. Heaney is dog water lately. Bradford is on IL. Lorenzen maybe. The 5 man rotation seems to be:

Eovaldi
Dunning
Lorenzen
Heaney
Gray?

If the Rangers could get a hit, I might start to care about Dunning giving up homers.

Dunning will be fine. He just needs to know his limits.

You've gotta love him going after hitters. Just leaving a little too much out there.

My only real issue with Dunning this year is that he isn't going very deep in games. That tells me he's off right now. He's through the 4th with almost 20 pitches per inning tonight. He should get to begin the 5th but maybe not.

Have to protect the plate with 2 strikes rook

That was my thought too. The ball was outside by a hair but you should probably try to foul it off.

What do these guys have to do to get some offense going? We were really patient to start the game, now we're going down way too easy.

Yep our entire team seems willing to leave it in the umps hands on 2 strike counts. Needs to change. Toooo many backward K's

Facing a really good pitcher tonight that has his A game. Just gotta hope they can chase him this inning and get to a really good bullpen.

This is where I am at. Wish we had Garver to dump in there at the moment.

It would be nice to be able to win more than 2 games in a row. A switch has to be flipped soon. Too much talent on this team for the offense to produce like this to start the year.

Garver is batting .150 with a .550 OPS at the moment…. We're really missing Jung and Seager's bat

Back to back shutouts at home.

Seager is there but not performing. Josh smiths numbers are actually really good although not much power. Seattle as a whole isn't hitting well. Who's to say garver wouldn't be hitting better if he were here? I'm not saying I wish Wyatt was in AAA while Mitch here but, if we had hot Mitch from last season…
