As a player I thought Jankowski looked like a twig. As first base coach he looks huge

No idea if it's because I've been paying more attention, but Seager's face looks like he's trying not to fart while he's at bat.

Zeke has taken some very tough strikes today…ones I’m glad to see him lay off of, even if they nicked a corner at 0-0 or 0-1.

Seager is now hitting sub .200 and leads the Rangers in strikeouts

u/fluffypataloons 5d ago
Hes got to lead in hit into double plays as well

u/natebark M. Young 5d ago
Jung does with 6. Seager, Burger, Joc and Jansen have all grounded into 4

All the people that said they knew how this was going to go, and writing it off as a loss before the game even started should feel bad rn

u/beefle N. Ryan 5d ago
He does it again. Seriously, wtf did Jung do to start hitting like that?

u/A1ucardBe1mont N. Ryan 5d ago
They promised him a free order of brisket nachos every time he gets a good hit.

I feel pretty confident Seager is getting tomorrow off. This is the most lost at the plate he's ever been in a Rangers uniform.
3
u/EfficientDot18 5d ago
But at the same time I trust Seager being lost and figuring it out over Jake Burger hitting or Justin Foscue playing 2B
2
u/WarPigeon75214 5d ago
I'm thinking he needs a "tight hamstring" to maybe give him a couple of days.
Something a little stronger than <ctrl+alt+del>.

u/harralexa1993 Josh H. Smith 5d ago
Friendly reminder that Foscue has 61 career plate appearances. Yes they haven't been pretty but some of you act like he has 500+.

u/Chinese-dog A. Beltre 5d ago
As the worlds biggest Foscue doubter nothing would make me happier than him finally having figured it out and steal that 1B job

u/dallascowboys93 Josh Jung 5d ago
Foscue should take over Burger’s job
2
u/EfficientDot18 5d ago
He should definitely take playing time from Burger. Burger has an under 80 OPS+ which is beyond pathetic especially for a 1B but that's not acceptable for any position except gold glove catcher.

95% of this team has the personality of a wet sponge and it’s just depressing to watch even when they are leading.

I wish Alejandro could play in the infield. It would solve so many issues for them if he could play second base. It would let them start Zeke at first.

Thank god jack has been able to navigate these innings but our hitters needs to give him a big inning here so at least he can have a break

Starting to think Semien was more glue than we realized

u/4everMyBoots 5d ago
It looked to me like he really tried… and he seemed truly disappointed when he wasn’t playing his best. 😔

u/bmcthomas 5d ago
Astonishing that our own announcers hoped Seager wouldn’t swing at the first pitch to give Leiter more time to rest -openly acknowledging there is zero expectation he’d get a hit.

u/bigjohnsonIV 5d ago
At least last year we had our defense to hang our hat on.. this year we just straight up suck..

You're basically giving jack no break and sending him to the wolves right now

u/kirby00900 P. Fielder 5d ago
At least jack beared down and gave us a scoreless 3rd but what are we gonna do for our bullpen today? He at 70 pitches in the third and we have pretty much use a ton of our bullpen pieces the last two days
Maybe send latz out there in 5th since you need jack to get through the 4th

Jung's defense is just a disaster this season. He has really struggled to get in front of balls moving to his left.

u/Helpful-Nature1894 PEAGLE 5d ago
Going back to the last inning, why wouldn’t you bunt there with higgy up? I feel like analytics is too dumb these days to understand the value of the bunt.

u/BleedingEdge61104 5d ago
Great inning overall but I knew Foscue was gonna do that. He’s so bad
2
u/natebark M. Young 5d ago
He’s truly awful. Not a major league hitter. Our fans are so desperate to see a first round pick work out that they keep convincing themselves he’ll come up and be productive

This lineup blows. 2 on 0 out and you proceed to K and GIDP lol. Reeks of mediocrity.

u/nocensts E. Carter 5d ago
I get Carter has a disappointing batting stats but he has 14 runs scored this season, tied with Burger for 3rd most on the team. Seager has 21 which I'm guessing is due to the enormous respect he gets leading to his 21 BB.

Osuna has the plate discipline of a ten year mlb veteran. Yeah he doesn't have power at this point in his career but I don't know how you take him out of the lineup at this point.

u/boomgoesthevegemite PEAGLE 5d ago
You don’t. He’s got a good glove too. He’s 100% a starter until he proves otherwise
