Pretty obvious he's safe.

We could've used a few of these runs last week on the west coast.

5-0 now

Why didnt Carter challenge that last pitch? Bases loaded situation is worth the try.

Damn Seager is actually hustling

I knew someone would mention that. It was good to see.

The Taylor Sheridan effect. Everything he touches turns to gold and he threw out the first pitch.

Based off what? Just curious who you seen information from that actually knows anything. And don't say that nerd Jeff Passan

It's not just Passan, I am sure you follow some of the other national baseball writers on twitter. This has been mentioned over and over by plenty of them, this isn't exactly ground breaking information. They aren't even really negotiating, so yeah, doesn't look good.

What would having no season next year actually solve? It doesn't benefit anybody. In fact, it's in everyone's best interest to have baseball.

They got a deal done in 2022 and we didn't miss any regular season games, and I fully expect they will get another done prior to the 2027 season.

I highly suggest taking anything you see the media say with a grain of salt. They don't know ****, and why should they?

That was great to see! Good to see us scoring runs in multiple innings tonight.





Meanwhile...........our catchers continue to suck. Jansen is picking up right where he left off before the IL trip. Time for Ohoppe?

I was in a real bad mood mowing the lawn until I pulled up the actual score instead of the Google score bug

Looking to make the most of the Rangers opportunity and going to get paid.

I'll be there tomorrow night. Hopefully not going to jinx it.

This team has some serious mental issues. lol

It's like when you don't have any money and resigned to "quitting" and your dealer offers up just a taste.

Brewers went for 2 at the end to run it up on the Mariners.

I don't think this team has what it takes to get to the playoffs, much less make a run once they are there, but when it comes to the "we're one heater away"...

We're 3.5 games back from the 2 SEED. Chasing a team we still have 3 head-to-head. For a BYE and homefield in the DS.

Obviously that's a moving target in the AL Central, but just a reminder of how mediocre the entire AL is outside of the AL East.

Yeah, we're 2 games under .500 and in the 3rd WC spot. The AL is struggling this year.

I didn't really think we had a snowballs chance in hell in 2023. That season highlighted the notion of just getting to the playoffs.

Sebastian Walcott, SS/3B, Rangers (

TEX No. 1/MLB No. 9)
One of the top power hitters in the Minors, Walcott has lived up to the hype since signing for $3.2 million out of the Bahamas in 2023. At age 19, he was the youngest qualified hitter at Double-A last year and returned to the level in mid-July after recovering from internal brace surgery.
Callis: "He's got huge power. He's got huge arm strength. He's pretty much just DHing at this point, but he's been on fire since he's returned to Double-A. The Rangers have been platooning Joc Pederson with Justin Foscue at DH, and I'm at the point where I would call Sebastian Walcott up and give him the opportunity to get some at-bats. That one's more of a pipe dream compared to some of these other ones I've said, but he's just so precocious and he's hit everywhere he's gone."

Walcott should absolutely be called up. He's been destroying AA. No harm in bringing him up just to start against lefties, with Joc ready to PH late.

A starting lineup against LHP could look pretty insane late in the year:

CF - Wyatt
SS - Seager
3B - Jung
RF - Nimmo (reverse splits demon)
LF - Duran
DH - Walcott
2B - Foscue
1B - Burger
C - Higgy/Jansen

There would be no pressure on Walcott and he'd have good protection with Foscue's ability against LHP. Left handed batters off the bench would be Peterson, Carter, Lopez, and someone like Osuna or Kelenic.

I wouldn't mind seeing it! Unless it means costing him a year of service time. Not sure how that works.

I'd also like to see OHoppe get a shot.

Yep, get O'Hoppe up here too. Still has a .842 OPS in Round Rock.

A Higgy/O'Hoppe platoon would instill a lot more confidence than what we've seen most of the year.
