Remember when Wyatt was supposed to be a question mark in left field?

These blow out wins are fun. This would be a good time for Bochy to bring in ALatz to eat innings. The guy has cost us too many games to trust him with a high leverage spot.
Latz has pitched 3 of the last 4 days. He's not touching a baseball today.
That fan that has had that spot down the RF line for forever just robbed Jankowski.
Pretty interesting challenge and fan interference call.
I guess it's safe to say, Langford, has figured things out at the plate. He's really come a long ways
Garcia has a day off today. Taking a break. Probably not a bad thing.Aggie Dad 26 said:
Ok, so I missed it. Where is Garcia?
Too bad we just can't play the Ray's 162.
Grossman!
Bochy said pre-game that Garcia was getting a day off to reset mentally. Then he said, "After the All-Star break, we'll get Jung back."
Now, I don't know if that was meant as a declarative or that was how I wanted to hear it, but with Langford and Seager now warming up... it will be nice to see Semien and Garcia use the All-Star break to get going with Jung.
Could make for a great 2H of July.

Twins walk off Astros.
Wyatt hits again. His only out today was a 375 footer to the track.

4 hit day for the rookie, is that good?
If that happens we will be cooking!
Over, 13-2 Rangers win.
So when Carter comes back I'd Adolis is still in a funk so you sit him?
Patiently waiting for the update on the other thread. Have no idea how either team did today otherwise
Hello Win Column!
Bring out the brooms!
Bring out the brooms!
If there's anyone that really needs a rehab stint it's Carter. Unlike Langford, who was still putting the ball in play more or less before he got hurt, Carter looked like he didn't know what planet he was on. He was striking out a ton, and not putting the ball in play at all. Id stick him in Frisco or something and have him work on getting the mojo and swing back.
If Carter stays in the minors for the rest of the year would he still be a rookie next season or has he already played too many games?
He's played too many games.
Kirby Yates in the ASG!

The reason he looked lost was the back injury. If he is healthy and that is a big if, he brings a tremendous amount to this team. I agree that he needs to have a long rehab stint. Make sure he is healthy. Have him play a lot of right field.
I'm less concerned with when Carter gets back than the here and now where Langford needs to be hitting 3rd or 4th in this lineup. If Garcia is in the lineup, he may need to be bumped down to 5th or 6th so Langford is hitting 3rd or 4th.Jimtim1216 said:

Semien is in ASG.
Semien an underserved all star. No Josh Smith

Have you compared Semien to other 2B?! Certainly deserving.
Now, Josh Smith, IMO, is likely going to be an injury replacement.
There will be some players that opt-out or are injured and IMO, Josh Smith will be selected.
.232 with a .679 OPS and 93 OPS+ is an all star in your book?
Who is your backup 2B?!gigem1223 said:

2nd HR for 2B
Altuve: 13
Semien: 12
Gelof: 9
1st RBI for 2B
Semien: 47
Altuve: 41
Gimenez: 41 (5 HR)
4th in OPS for 2B

This awkward to anyone else?
For those saying we can't get anything good for a rental we gave up Cole Ragans for a bullpen rental. Cole Ragans is now an all star.

Cole Ragans was a prospect with team control, not a veteran player on the last year of his contract. That makes a substantial difference on your return.
Jimbo Franchione
His point is Aroldis was the rental, which is the ammo the Rangers have available with these veteran pitchers
Yes it does. We gave up a very good prospect with team control for a bullpen rental. Not sure we are disagreeing about anything. My point is that we can get some nice prospects with team control for what would be a rental in scherzer, Yates, Robertson, Lorenzen.
The wild card is that Ragans was a 25 year old who hadn't shown much yet, partly because between 2 TJ's and covid, the guy didn't pitch for 3 years. He was progressing but at 25 wasn't getting MLB hitters out consistently yet in early 2023. Good gamble on KC's part so far tho, especially making him a starter which seemed to click.
Obviously a guy with long term team control is going to get you more but the vets we have on expiring contracts are worth just as much as what Chapman was worth last season. If things go south and we have to sell I wouldn't mind getting 3-4 prospects with the talent of Ragans.
