Scherzer and deGrom both pitched, yesterday. Both "could" be ready for the Friday TBD.

@ Arizona
Eovaldi (3.55) v Gallen (3.69)
Bradford (3.05) v Kelly (4.08)

@ Seattle
TBD v Miller (3.18)
Leiter v Gilbert (3.15) <- Could be deGrom
Heaney v Castillo (3.60)
Eovaldi v Kirby (3.61)


We could go Scherzer, deGrom, Heaney, and Eovaldi against Seattle. With it in Seattle, should be cool moist weather and a Pitchers duel each night.

If deGrom goes Friday, he'd start again for the Toronto day game that I have tickets for.

Boo. Yah.

First time seeing the roof open at the new stadium. Sat in the shade and the weather was perfect. Kids got to run the bases after the game and go down onto the field. Overall a great day.

I don't know the age of your kids, but I'll tell you... soak all of that up that you can!

His kids are in their 30s and were escorted off the field by security for trespassing.

Some kids got the great parents. He probably bailed them out, too.

They're 2 and 5, older one is a boy. He's been a couple times but this was his first time he got into it and paid attention. Brought back a lot of memories of going to the games with my parents.

Might as well, lets get him a few starts and worst case he gets a taste of the MLB level for next year. He's probably still on a somewhat restricted pitch count, but who cares, lets see what he can do.

I nominate Grant Anderson as a candidate. But we won't know until Thursday what the roster move is, they won't create a spot for him until then.

Interesting to say the least...

ESPN lists the scheduled starters as:
Eovaldi
Bradford
Rocker
Leiter
Heaney

3 Home grown...

deGrom was suggested to be available Friday/Saturday.

Sandler tweeted about it possibly being due to the hot streak the team is on. Kinda one last swing at the WC. But if not, definitely good to get him a taste of the bigs for next year.

We can take care of Seattle with the head to head. How awesome would that be if we can do 5-2 or better against them?

Biggest problems I see is the Twinkies or Boston.

I like it because the games still matter somewhat, so there will be some pressure on him too. Good litmus test

But, but, but.... The Ticket told me in my talking points that the Rangers can't develop any starting pitching! They say it 12 times a day!

Maybe should wait until one or more of those guys actually produces on the big league level. Rangers have had plenty of guys who have put up solid minor league numbers but never made the jump as a Ranger.

Well to be fair, Bradford is in his second season of producing at the big league level.

He was replacement level last year.

I like what I've seen, but I'm not ready to anoint him a success story quite yet after 60 IP.

I know we just need to keep winning.

Having said that... Some scoreboard watching:

Minn: WC3 Lopez (14-8,4.05) v LAAA: Canning (5-12,5.02) <-Hoping Wash keeps helping up.
Seattle: 3.0GB Kirby (11-10,3.61) v SDP: Darvish (4-3,3.51) <- Darvish could really help us.
Detroit: 3.0GB Montero (4-6,5.47) v Colorado: Blaock (1-2,5.40) <- Reminder that teams we are chasing have flaws.
Boston: 3.0GB Crawford (8-13,4.08) v Balt: Suarez (7-5,3.49)
Tampa: 5GB Bradley (6-10,4.40) @ Philly: Suarez (12-6,2.90) <- Time to pass Tampa.
Texas: 6.0GB Eovaldi (11-7,3.55) @ Arizona: Gallen (11-6,3.69)

Running out of road for the evasive 15 gamer. 18 games left. How do we get this done? Anybody got plan?

Feels like we skipped class and played video games all semester and now we have a Calculus II final staring us in the grill.

I think 17-1 gets it done. 16-2 could work with some help.

8:40 start time tonight, yuck. At least tomorrow is an afternoon game. Better than the late night special. More late games to come this weekend in Seattle.

I'll be watching tonight though.

We will need some teams to struggle the rest of the way to help us out. Plus we need to win... a lot of wins. Maybe not 16, but close to it.
