Pederson now owns the worst hitless streak in Rangers history.

Not sure if that made the broadcast. 

He's 13 ABs shy of the MLB record. 

I don't get the point of letting the guy flail in the majors like this. Send him down to AAA to work this shit out. These games count the same as ones in September.

The new lineup looked better.  Semien at the top I believe has run its course.

I always hoped Leody would develop into a good switch-hitting leadoff, but I may as well play the powerball on that.

Players with more than 5 years of MLB service can't just be "sent down" unless it's for the purpose of rehab.

Rangers would have to get his consent to go down. May happen, but probably not for a long-term veteran.

That said, Joc may develop an injury requiring a rehab soon...headache, stubbed toe, indigestion etc.

That's my understanding. Posters on here know much more about baseball than I do I'm sure.

Speaking of rehab, Leiter with a RR start. Suspended from rain, but seemingly good:

4.2 scoreless, one hit, one walk, struck out four.

Lots of ifs and buts, but this staff has already been nasty, and could be downright absurd.

Would we keep Corbin as a potential long man out of the pen/spot starter?  Short sample, but he has been way better in his three starts than I thought he'd be.

I don't know what the plan is with the Degrom and Evo starts but I would think they want to keep them fresh and healthy as long as possible.  I wonder if they plan on using Corbin to make some spot starts here or there for those two.  Even Mahle is coming off injury. 

Right now Corbin is found money. Spend it.

That would make sense.

Though may depend on how Rocker does tonight.

Morris made a funny.

Now, if Nico Harrison were running the Rangers instead of Chris Young and Ross Fenstermaker, he’d be calling Corey Seager lazy and out of shape and working the phones to send him to the New York Yankees for Giancarlo Stanton. Fortunately, that’s not our reality as Rangers fans, and instead, the team is going to look to evaluate Seager after the MRI and figure out how best to ensure Seager stays on the field as much as possible going forward.

I could definitely see a 6-man rotation unless and until Corbin melts down or someone else gets hurt. They've got to think about limiting innings for Rocker and Leiter, too. Rocker pitched <50 last year, Leiter around 100 I think.

We're on Apple+ again Friday night at SF. They're running $2.99/month for 3 months through tomorrow. I don't watch much scripted shit, but $3 won't hurt. 

Might as well try Severance while you’re in there.

Rocker and Joc need stint in AAA.

We can't send Joc down. This has been discussed already. 

Rocker would just go down and dominate, likely. Not sure what the answer is. Depends on whether we think he's close to putting it together or not.
