The latest on the once and future World Series champion Texas Rangers
Good morning.
Shawn McFarland checks out what we’ve recently learned about the Texas Rangers, including that Jacob deGrom remains excellent.
Kennedi Landry writes that Marcus Semien is looking more like himself in June as he hopes to put the first couple of months of the season behind him.
Evan Grant writes that even in a bullpen game, the starting pitching was the key for the Rangers in their finale win in Washington.
Jeff Wilson writes that the lineup is still searching for consistent answers, but don’t expect that to include Sebastian Walcott.
All-Star game voting has opened so ESPN’s David Schoenfield makes an early roster prediction with Jacob deGrom as the only Texas rep. Jim Bowden, meanwhile, has Nathan Eovaldi as the lone Ranger.
Grant notes that Cody Bradford (and Josh Sborz for that matter) should begin facing hitters again this week to pass another rehab milestone.
And, Landry’s newsletter focuses on Rangers hitting instructor Justin Viele, a guy who probably really misses having Donnie Ecker around as the obvious scapegoat.
Have a nice day!
