Texas Rangers update for Saturday, August 2.
Good morning, LSB.
The Rangers sustained a fairly crushing blow last night, falling to the Mariners on a comeback walk-off home run by J.P. Crawford.
Kennedi Landry writes that Bruce Bochy will be sticking with Robert Garcia as the team’s closer.
Elsewhere Evan Grant has five thoughts on the Rangers’ trade deadline activity.
Shawn McFarland takes a look at how the Rangers will employ their new relievers.
Speaking of which, Jake Latz and Kumar Rocker were both optioned to make room for the new guys, with Grant saying they’re getting the short end of the stick.
Jeff Wilson notes the best performances on the Rangers’ farm during the month of July.
And finally, both of the new relievers the Rangers brought in have a history of hitting Ranger players with baseballs.
That’s all for this morning. The Rangers try to get back in this series with Seattle today at 3:10 with Merrill Kelly making his Rangers debut.
Have a great weekend!
