The Ranger announcers thought it was an out, but they got it right lol

Man, that slider to Garcia... wow

Robbie looking born again hard...

Is Harold injured?

Kody replacing Harold...interesting

I would settle for Joe Mauer or even Jay Bruce tbh

Uhhh, outfield competition is ON

Practically posted about the same time I did 😆

This tweet kinda hints at a problem that TORK! has had since he has come up... his swing is sweet and mechanically perfect, but against major league pitching, sometimes you have to change it up.

4 walks in two games for Riley Greene... damn

Hot Take: if Haase has a good day at the dish, he has probably done enough to earn a little bit more run at catcher IMO

One can obviously disagree with the pick, but that may actually be what happened here. Just my two cents, but I dont think teams should be ruling out picks purely based on the level of experience and position. Maybe there should be more skepticism of a HS RH pitcher, but when you limit yourself based on arbitrary restrictions like that, you limit your options. And one can imagine scenarios where you get burned.

I would agree, but that isn't necessarily the consensus among some

Yesterday was great. Waiting to see them do stuff against a righty.

Legit surprised

Is there a scenario where you would choose a high school arm over a position player? Or is this comment specific to Mayer and his prospects? I would have preferred they picked someone other than Jobe, tbh, but it stands to reason that limiting a specifc profile from your draft philosophy might not be beneficial to a team in the long run.

I'm watching through the replay now and it looks like a conscious decision on their part for sure. With a lot of the success yesterday, there's a serious platoon split with some of these Tigers hitters (Baez, Grossman come to mind, without looking at the #'s, probably TORK! as well) going against lefties versus righties. Add in that Taylor Hearn isn't the best pitcher (and most Ranger fans were ready to bump him from the rotation before this start), it suggests that it may have been the perfect storm for a big offensive day. My question is can they do this against right handed starting pitching? Dane Dunning tomorrow, who is a solid if unspectacular righty, will be a good test. I want to see more before thinking this isnt a dead cat bounce

Good swing from Baddooooo

Reese Olson, 5IP 2H 0BB 9K today. Another bang up job for him!

So, it seems pretty clear that Riley Greene still needs 6 more weeks to be fully ready...

14 runs, 17 hits. Could be a mirage, but thats a big difference from 3000 Day.

Wtf

Just checked the score now. Flabbergasted

They activated Jack Flaherty and had to boot someone off the 40 man roster... similar to the Brendon Davis deal where they were probably hoping he would sneak through

It's an incredibly small sample size because he doesn't play much, but he has looked from the eye test to be less clueless at the plate than some of the others over the last week or so. But that's not saying much with how awful they have been lol
