Right.

Like Rougie and Martin Perez.

It is great in theory, but the reality is in baseball... you're going to end up with dead money. You are going to end up with Ps having TJ.

I think you've got to separate pitchers somewhat in this scenario because of injury and just how long it takes to get comfortable at that spot. No doubt about that.

Welp the Rangers will be a welcome distraction/blood pressure drop for the next few weeks after the events of the last two days.

The Rangers (especially this version) help your blood pressure drop?

Just not a fan of Semien. Think he's the most overpaid Ranger(Degrom notwithstanding). He just so many empty at bats when Texas needs to get something going.

2 grand slams given up in 3 games. The brewers always destroy us.

Have we discussed Zeke being sent down? I was not aware of that..

I don't understand the Duran move at all. Not one bit.

And I think I am just going to tune back into the Rangers after they get back in town. See where we are at that point.

Quote:

General manager Chris Young said the Rangers want Duran to go down and work on his fastball timing and hopefully return soon.

"The reality is that it's a performance-based game and Zeke's performance has not been on par with what we think he's capable of," Young said. "We've given him the opportunity to try to get going here, and it just hasn't worked out. We need him to go down, work on some things mechanically, get hot, build some confidence, and remember the player that he is. The hope is that he'll be down there for a short period of time and once he's hot, he will come back up and help us out."

Well then Adolis Garcia needs to start performing as well.

Hill just turns a single into an inside the park homer. Great move Bochy

He has been coming out of funk for the past week. Batting over .300 with obp close to .500

1 day the offense shows up, our starter gives up 5 runs in 4 innings. Just awesome.

I agree with Bochy when he said that they rely on him to produce.

As Garcia goes, so goes the offense.

If we can go 1-2 in Milwaukee, we won't really lose any ground in the wild card or the division for this series. Really need to pull this one out.

Nate has been in too long... Splitter had no bite last inning and control was all over the place... Just hit the back stop to allow a runner in to scoring position...

Hill's 3 base blunder is looming large

Welp, all the good done last weekend is now gone. Hit the ball again and give up 6.

We've gone from Latz not even being considered for the post-season roster to him being "the guy" in late game situations. Burke and Latz in back to back games.

This is really, really, bad baseball. I almost miss Will Smith and Chapman.

Very close here to getting buried if things go really badly in Baltimore and Seattle/Houston keep winning. If we get behind by 10 games, that's a very long climb back to win the division.

It's frustrating because the bar for success or even to "tread water" or stay in the hunt has been so freaking low this season and they are still just hanging on by a thread.

Many times we have just needed 1 game out of 3 to avert disaster and they keep getting swept.

The 2024 rangers will be one of my least favorite versions of the rangers probably. So much talent and underachieving so hard.

DallasAg . . . if you're in a research mood, please calculate the amount of our 2024 payroll that is currently on the roster for today vs. Baltimore. Would be interesting to see what % is injured and DFA.

Any word on when Josh Jung will be in the lineup?
