I guess the game got close enough Angel tightened up the zone

He has about played himself out of the lineup. Carter is turning it on, and Langford is an everyday player.

Langford LF
Carter CF
Adolis RF

^that should be the A team. Taveras is a bench player at best right now. Quite frankly, I'd rather see Jankowski come off the bench before him.

Leiter tonight: 6.0 IP, 6h, 3R, 3ER, 0 BB, 10 SO, 3HR

Lowe went 0-4 in Frisco. I thought he was supposed to face JV, JV did not pitch.

Burke should be sent to Round Rock and Jonathan Hernandez replace him.

Then Anderson should go in lieu of Lorenzen.

If I had to guess, maybe something like this in the coming month.

Anderson -> Hernandez
Burke -> Lorenzen
Yerry -> Church
LeClerc -> Scherzer

zero walks for Leiter in 6IP is amazing. That has been a struggle for him. The three HR's are some concern, was the wind blowing out or something? Still, I will take it. 10k's in 6IP, and no walks? Sign me up.

Well he seems to have solved the walk issue but he is giving up a ton of long balls now.

Disgusting


I've been watching baseball a long, long time, and I cannot recall a worse start to the season for the umpires. It's been absolutely dreadful.

No hits for Altuve and Yordan is nice to see.

Of course, the fact they still managed to score 8 runs without them is concerning

Had to have that one, with a tough matchup tomorrow. Hopefully Heaney gets his head out of his ass and has one of his wtf good performances and Blanco comes back down to earth.

Either way, 6 straight wins at our home away from home.

If Winn continues to impress out of the Pen, I wonder if we'll see him sooner than later

That AB is the reason we need the minor league appeal process for ball/strike calls. I mean, missing one of those would be bad enough (given how far off the plate it was....), but three straight strike calls on balls there were nowhere near the strike zone should be a fireable offense..... but the union...

DallasAg 94

That's probably close.

However, that would give us:

Eovaldi, Bradford, Dunning, Heaney, Gray, Scherzer, Lorenzen, and Urena

Henderson, Church, Yates, Robertson, Latz

That's a lot of guys that aren't getting warmed quickly.

Urena is in the BP, but he's gone 2.0+ in 3 of his 4G and one was 4.0 IP. He and Lorenzen can be long-RP.

We could do the tandem thing, I suppose.

Bradford -> Lorenzen
Gray -> Heaney

Right now Bradford may not need that tandem!

Right now there's no way I'm even thinking of a tandem with Bradford. I'd be bringing Lorenzen in to replace Heaney or Gray in the rotation and send one of them to the pen. I'd also start throwing Urena out there in high leverage spot in the 7/8/9 inning.

How do you bench Walsh for Lowe?!?! What happens there?
gigem1223
How long do you want to ignore this user?
If it was me, I'd move him to DH and then move Leody to the bench with a Garcia/ Carter/ Langford outfield.

Sure do wish we'd have pulled the trigger on the Cease trade with Duran headlining. Hopefully Duran turns it around soon and makes me eat my words but I don't know how many opportunities he's gonna have with Smitty's emergence.
DallasAg 94

Walsh has been platooning facing mostly RHP.

The Rangers, IMO, have been very smart and deliberate with him.

Usually a team or two is looking for a LH power bat they can bring in at the trade deadline. With 1 more yr of control, there will be a market for him. He was an AllStar.

Lowe, IMO, is more well-rounded... more team control and is likely better all-around. GG, SS...
gigem1223
How long do you want to ignore this user?
I know 1 team down south that could use a first baseman.

In all seriousness though, until we see how Lowe looks when he comes back, I'm not sure we should be thinking of trading Walsh. Let's not forget Lowe was pretty bad at the plate the 2nd half of last season.

It's posted on the Astros/Rangers thread, but that AB is statistically the worst called AB by an HP umpire in recorded history.
