I'm SO HAPPY to see you still posting here!......Now, back to business. haha....Carter seems to be working his way to at least some pine-time doesn't he? It's hard to imagine how the Rangers can score much with the LFer and the CFer hitting a combined .200 isn't is?......Today Leiter lite-up the stat sheet in all the negative columns. Not at all what anyone wanted or expected for that matter...........I'm watching this game today on MLB, therefore I'm listening to the Detroit feed. The announcing team for the Tigers (can't give a name one) is as bad as I hope to hear EVER!!....Anyway, I'd thought I'd 'buzz your tower here sir!' HA.......
Yea Carter runs hot and cold. For the life of me I do not know why our CF is on the team. Langford has not shown any power as expected. He has been quite a player.

To be fair 2/3s of the lineup is underwhelming right now, minus Semien, Garcia and Heim, who are performing as expected or above. Even Seager hasn't shown much power despite hitting .304

The Astros now 5 back. It sure seems the only team that they play well against, is the Rangers. Never thought they would be in last place at any point in the season.

Glad to hear from you buddie.
Thank you sir. Good to reconnect for sure!.......And it's always good to see the Rangers get a win. But it's pretty obvious, they really miss Jung. I mean after all, what team wouldn't miss a stellar defensive 3rd baseman hitting .412?

For what it's worth you like to see a series where if you don't score the pitching bails you out and if the pitching is subpar then the offense bails you out. Nice to win the series.

Taveras should have had that.
Leody got back there in plenty of time without even having to run full speed. There is not excuse for that and that is an error and not a hit. I had MLB scoring plays nowadays.

And regardless of what people think about Lowe we could use him back out there to give us our full compliment of players and with a better defensive 1st baseman.

Leclerc with 10 strikes and 15 balls. We really need him to pitch well since our BP depth is shallow. But he just keeps giving guys free passes. Urena and Yates did great.

Yates looking pretty legit, hopefully Leclerc settles into a lesser role well, he's looked slightly better in less intensive roles lately

We can't depend on Leclerc to close or pitch unless we have a big lead. He has talent but hasn't refined it.

I thought that too but maybe he lost it in the sun, but that has to be an error.

Good to get a series win
Still haven't gotten that banner changed, I see.
Serously Though. I hope you are able to jump back in. It seems like there was some unnecessary conflict the last time you oosted
Thanks for your work on the banner
And congratulations to you on our long awaited WS championship despite our obvious bullpen deficiencies. I admit we got a bit lucky in thr PS re the pen. But hey it was about time things bounced our way
Best wishes regardless
