I’ve given up all chance at inner peace. I’ve made my mind a sunless place.
Good morning, LSB.
The Texas Rangers lost in utterly embarrassing fashion last night for what seems like the fourth or fifth time in the last month.
This might be the nadir but I don’t even know anymore.
Evan Grant asks what’s so hard about covering first base these days…
At least Marcus Semien looked good.
Elsewhere Jeff Wilson writes that Kumar Rocker will have plenty to work on at Triple-A.
Speaking of which, Justin Foscue is back with a bang at Round Rock.
Chris Martin has been downgraded from one-pitch outings to no-pitch outings.
Grant writes that Texas will have to start finding ways to get their starters rest.
And The Athletic has a list of teams whose next month could heavily impact the trade deadline. The Rangers are one of them.
That’s all for this morning. The Rangers start up a series against the Reds Nationals tonight at the unstable time of 5:45 with Patrick Corbin on the mound.
Happy Friday. 🙂
