Fucking score, ladies. 

[ss13 1832]

Fuck yeah, kid! 

[ss13 1832]

Never a doubt. 

[Elmer_Fudd 22101]

Didn't see it posted, but Jose LeClerc was activated today.

[Ignatius 4000]

Kid looks like a gamer so far….

[CowtownHorn 5126]

They cold stole that sumbitch.

Yeah early returns on the Gallo trade look good.

Meanwhile, Gallo is batting .184 on the year with 70 K's in 158 AB's.  Ouch.

This thread will really be dead tonight.

I'll be going back and forth on it and the Texas/ND game.

It's a lot easier to stay on the CWS when it's 7-0 here.

BECAUSE WORDS ARE HARD

Well, not how I would have preferred the 1-1 evening.

Det really sucks. 

[ss13 1832]

[Elmer_Fudd 22101]

Hearn doing his usual thing.

[Elmer_Fudd 22101]

Hearn with an ERA well over 6 now.  How much longer does the organization keep sending him out?  What are Spencer Howard's numbers in Triple A?

[ss13 1832]

Not great. Two good starts, then rocked again in his last one.

I’ll go look it up later, but the majority of Corey’s yacks seem to be of the Dean Palmer-special variety. 

[ss13 1832]

Leclerc is fitting in well. 

[ss13 1832]

It all sucked today. 

 

[DougO 5239]

Had to miss the dramatic win the other night, naturally, but at least I also had to miss the shitty game today.

Need to take this series.

 

[Voldemort86 2259]

A split with Detroit would be a massive let down.  Then again, we just saw the team split with TB and blow the Seattle / Houston series despite getting off to a good start in all of those series so perhaps I shouldn’t get my hopes up.

 

martin Perez and Jon gray are good, but the back part of the rotation, most of the bullpen, and the team defense sucks.

[ss13 1832]

Our offense has a .294 OBP also. 

 

[ss13 1832]

Corey yack, this one not a Deano.

[ss13 1832]

Ha, fucking 3-1 after 3 hitters. 

[Elmer_Fudd 22101]

Looking like a split (hope I'm wrong).  This team gives glimpses of good baseball, then pulls stunts like this against by far the worst scoring team in the AL.  Rangers will hover around. 500 for most the year I think.  Will be interesting to see what they do at the trade deadline.

[ss13 1832]

Something decent.

Could’ve won the rays, tigers, mariners, and Astros series.  They choked in all of them and didn’t get it done.

[ss13 1832]

Off, hosting 2 with Philly (Perez & Gray), off, hosting 3 with Wash. Try not to suck. 

[Ignatius 4000]

Team made good strides with the roster and I’m pleasantly surprised with Adolis’ continued development, but there’s a long way to go. I think extending Perez vs selling him high between now and the deadline would be a mistake, but I’ve been wrong before….

[ss13 1832]

All the moves. 

 

 

[ss13 1832]

[ss13 1832]

Nice 5-3 DP by Josh, welcome back. He'll be in LF/CF some soon too. 

[ss13 1832]

Nate, bitches. 

[ss13 1832]

Jonah, bitches. 

[ss13 1832]

Marcus, bitches. 

[ss13 1832]

Kole, bitches.

Damn, was gonna congratulate myself on a good thread tonight!

We're the big winners.

Nice quadfecta upstream!!!!!

And there’s our boy in LF just as predicted.

[DougO 5239]

Kole, you are a gamer, but definitely not as fast as Josh Smith.

Edited June 22, 2022 by DougO

[ss13 1832]

Watching Castellanos attempt to play RF is fun, but that was a little aggressive by Kole. 

[ss13 1832]

See ya, Philly. 

[DougO 5239]

Nice. Kinda helps make up for blowing the series to Detroit.

[Ignatius 4000]

Gray has actually been really solid his last 4-5 starts…

[DougO 5239]

Calhoun traded to San Francisco for Steve Duggar.

 

• Rangers' Steven Duggar: Traded to Texas

  Rotowire  18 MINS AGO
  Duggar (oblique) was traded from the Giants to the Rangers on Thursday in exchange for Willie Calhoun, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports. Duggar played in just 12 games this year before hitting the 60-day injured list with a left oblique strain. He's spent the maximum amount of time on his rehab assignment, struggling ot a .550 OPS in 14 games, so the Giants had to make a decision on his future. That decision turned out to be a trade rather than a return to the active roster, though he'll presumably join the Rangers' big-league squad shortly. Duggar gives his new team a good glove in center field but hasn't done much at the plate across parts of five seasons in the majors, hitting a modest .242/.297/.377. That may leave him stuck as the fourth outfielder in Texas, though beating out Leody Taveras for at-bats may not be particularly hard.

[ss13 1832]

Good thing is he’s still optionable, bad is it will likely cost Zeke his big league spot for now. 

Garver being DH-only for rest of season REALLY fucking sucks for roster construction. 

[ss13 1832]

No roster move yet, but Leody chillin’ again.
