Almost there!

I'm really done with him. We're going on four years of him not being able to touch of mid-nineties in the middle of the zone. It's a major issue now.

oooph. Hate when they do this. Was going to watch a few innings before heading to College Station for the Aggie game tonight. Don't feel like messing with new signups or whatever else is required for just a few innings of the game.

A steal!!!!

Fine. You talked me into it

Looks like this will be our random game where the offense explodes. Let's enjoy it!

He won the silver slugger what? Two years ago? His numbers that year were phenomenal but, it's looking like the outlier.

Haven't seen other Seager updates posted. This sounds somewhat encouraging. To me this says we need to avoid pinch hitting him today unless absolutely necessary. Then a day off on Monday and maybe he can at least DH on Tuesday in LA.

Corey Seager said, "I feel OK." He's been moving around, said he could probably pinch hit. One thing to consider: A pinch-hit appearance would limit how far #Rangers could back date an IL move if that becomes necessary.

Remember when bochy said he wasn't concerned and would likely miss one game coupled with an off day?

What a broadcaster jynx.

"50 innings pitched and only 4 home runs" next pitch HR.

Dave seemed pretty excited about that Yaz HR ball..

Got the bats revved up just in time for the LAD and SEA

Mon: bye

@LAD
Tues: Dunning v Paxton
Wed: Gray v Buehler
Thur: Lorenzen v Yamamoto

@Seattle
Fri: Heaney v Kirby
Sat: Eovaldi v Gilbert
Sun: Dunning v Woo

Looks like Urena to the BP now that Gray is back.

He has been great for us.
Urena: 6GS, 2.84 ERA, 31.2 IP, 1.14 WHIP <- As a SP

Overall: 16G, 3.44 ERA, 52.1 IP, 1.20 WHIP

Scherzer's rehab today for RR in OKC... hope all goes well there. So far: 2.0 IP, 0 H, 0BB, 3K PC=25

Last time he gave everyone iPods and a full steak and seafood spread for after the game.

Bet Langford gets his first real HR next game.

So, we'll have a little roster management coming...

Need 65 to Qualify. Gray helps himself with the relief appearance. 150 is a good target, as well.

5 SP (Order of next start)
Dunning: 10GS, 4.09 ERA, 50.2 IP
Jon Gray: 10GS, 2.12 ERA, 59.1 IP
Lorenzen: 10GS, 3.06 ERA, 59.0 IP
Heaney-L: 12GS, 4.06 ERA, 62.0 IP
NEovaldi: 10GS, 2.68 ERA, 57.0 IP

Long-Relief
Urena: 16G, 3.44

1st Out
GAnderson: 15G, 6.06
Tinoco: 7G, 6.48

IL:
Scherzer - I think his return will move Heaney to the BP.
Sborz

I think Sborz and Scherzer bump Tinoco and GAnderson, with Heaney headed to BP.

It's between dunning and Heaney, and will depend on what they value out of the pen. Do they want a lefty who can strike guys out, or a guy who's got quite a few pitches and funk to get guys? I could make a good argument for both of them.

Brock Burke is close to being back too, right?

Do we want him back? Being kinda funny but also kinda serious. He's been dreadful for us for a while.

Bullpen could really use another lefty. Right now it's Latz only. Probably the biggest reason why I think Heaney is the first to go to the pen, once we get some troops back. Definitely not gonna hold my breath on Burke but I'm sure he'll get his chance again.

I wonder if Brad Miller can pitch....

2-4 lackluster homestand, but at least the injury reports were good and still 5 back of Seattle.

The schedule the next few weeks is really difficult. If we can get to July still just 3 games under .500 we'll be fine. This team is going to make a run post all-star break. Really interested to see what we do with the rotation once Scherzer, Bradford, Mahle and deGrom are back. Talk about an embarrassment of riches.
