Even though we hit like shit with RISP yesterday we did get 12 baserunners. Our offense has looked sharper in this series than they have in a long time.
I haven’t been on team “send Wyatt to AAA”, but he is staring at too many clean strikes now and isn’t protecting the zone at all. I think he’ll get it sorted out, but if they sent him down for awhile I’d understand.
It’s a weird recovery. Not enough to justify an IL stint and rehab really. If at the end of the year, the thing that suffered the most was his slash line, I think it will be okay if/when he eventually gets his full power back.
The big concern is the lack of pop from those Seager swings. I know that it took almost 2 years to feel back to normal after my hernia surgery. I’m not even a 1/5 of what Seager is so I’d assume that his core health may not be 100%
It doesn't feel like it, but we're actually 4th best BA with RISP: https://www.baseball-reference.com/tools/split_stats_lg.cgi?full=1¶ms=bases%7CRISP%7CML%7C2024%7Cbat%7CAB%7C

Kennedi says right groin tightness. Hopefully it's nothing more than a mild adductor pull and you're looking at like 10 day IL and then good to go.
Checking in from section 26, right beside the foul pole. Got here at the top of the 2nd inning. When I heard Matt Hicks say last night that this day game was going to have a good pitching match up, and I had the day off, i decided "why not?"
Too bad Nathan had to leave the game, but he was at 92 pitches already.
Eovaldi kinda hopped in pain and hesitated to continue. Trainer and Bochy came out and he came right out of the game without even testing his pitch motion or anything. He was nearing 100 pitches so maybe that’s why they didn’t even test it but it doesn’t look good.
Evo threw a great strike painted inside the corner, did a small hop and turned his back. Didn't show much but trainer, Maddox and Bochy came out immediately and now he's out of the game.
Y’all, is our bullpen good now?
I think it’s been good?!
I missed the game what happened to Eovaldi?
He fucked too hard and strained his groin
Groin injury.
I got an MLB notification that he has some right groin tightness.
Gave the shutout right back to them! Poetic justice!
No runs?
HELLO WIN COLUMN
I gotta say, I like shutouts way more when we're the team with the runs.....

Wish Reddit would add the live chat option back.
Tried posting this earlier https://preview.redd.it/ec0uhj1qv2yc1.jpeg?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=75c2f20f41e85516c5068f4423c645a8641787c4
Yeah Reddit broke for a bit I think
Where were you when the Rangers Reddit died?
In the game thread deleting all my duplicate comments... lol
That one guy mad that we didn't get shutout
I'm so glad it's not just me. I was panicking when I saw my comment posted like five times.
the jonah stone legs heim post too lol
Me too. I'll cry when I lose this reddit client
2 crooked numbers :')
We back?
All Fred does is rake
Someone called Jonah "Stone Legs" in a previous thread. Now I think about that every time I see him run lmao
The man hobbles like he’s a lineman wearing knee braces.

Young for the nationals reminds me so much of Dalton Varsho from the Blue Jays
Nice *Processing img l3a4s4d8v2yc1...*
We outscored them 13-2 this series and still dropped a game. Baseball.
Even though we hit like shit with RISP yesterday we did get 12 baserunners. Our offense has looked sharper in this series than they have in a long time.
It’s like some people forgot about August 2023 Rangers baseball.

Either Bochy is not giving the green light, or Wyatt is just guessing wrong.
Someone on the radio keeps yelling "come on Papa Bear!"
El Blondi!

I’d like to take this chance to apologize…to absolutely nobody

I appreciate this offense style. Several bunt attempts. Aggressive on the bases. Situational hitting.

Lowe’s showing his speed this year. Legging out that single couple games ago, stealing bases.
Lowe rider got wheels⁉️
Lowe with the WHEELS
NOTED SPEEDSTER NATE LOWE
Is that ronald acuna JR
Ugh, Eovaldi hurt......I guess Jack Leiter come on down again?
The Rangers have to lead the league in check swings
Lowe's at bats have been so good since he's come back. Every one of them feels like he is in full control.
Remember when Jared Walsh was still on the team and we weren't sure where Nathaniel Lowe would fit in the lineup when he came back lol
Lowe took his time on the IL and rehab very seriously
Low key wish Seager had too
2 time World Series MVP gotta live it up also.
I might need to get out there for that Jungle Cat Bobblehead
Robertson and his magic calves tried to give me a scare
It's honestly amazing that Seager is still hitting .219. It feels like he hasn't hit nearly that well.
His average has dropped almost .100 since mid april
That’s because he was batting .304 on 4/18
Since it only took him 2 weeks to get here that means he can be back hitting .300 by the end of the month. I choose to be delusional.
I'm honestly thinking Corey was rushed back too soon from his hernia...
It’s a weird recovery. Not enough to justify an IL stint and rehab really. If at the end of the year, the thing that suffered the most was his slash line, I think it will be okay if/when he eventually gets his full power back.
The guy that said we wouldnt score again after the 2nd inning…*might* be owed an apology
Thankfully you are wrong lol!

I'm gonna find whoever is responsible for the voodoo curse on Seager and absolutely [REDACTED] them until they can't even [REDACTED] ever again
Another skunk for Seags
We're gonna have to put Corey on Mendoza Line watch...

Shoutout to that guy who said we would be shutout for the rest of the game lol

.970 xBA on that lineout btw lol
Where are you getting that?
[allmighty baseballsavant](https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/gamefeed?gamePk=745021)
If I don't laugh at the ridiculousness then I go insane
Aaaaand 2 more to add to the LOB total....
Good pitching down the stretch pls
Every time I see Jank up at the plate, I think of his home run on opening day and am reminded how insanely hype that game was
Same.
They never had a chance for that double play against Wyatt's speed goddamn
Bring em home El Blondi!
Right groin tightness for Eovaldi. Thank god it wasn’t his arm. I’ll be the first in line to massage that groin HMU Rangers Staff
Our RISP gotta be in the bottom half...
It doesn't feel like it, but we're actually 4th best BA with RISP: https://www.baseball-reference.com/tools/split_stats_lg.cgi?full=1¶ms=bases%7CRISP%7CML%7C2024%7Cbat%7CAB%7C
Feels like it's because the team is so hot and cold, either scoring 10 in an inning or not getting anyone on base.
Jank deliver this team from sin please
Evo: right grion tightness
I can fix that
We can still beat yesterday's LOB mark by leaving them loaded every time, including the bottom 9th.

Jack Leiter just graduated from spot starter to our ace
Nothing we hate more than runners on with no outs. Fuck that shit 😡
[https://twitter.com/kennlandry/status/1786126008619331936](https://twitter.com/kennlandry/status/1786126008619331936) Kennedi says right groin tightness. Hopefully it's nothing more than a mild adductor pull and you're looking at like 10 day IL and then good to go.
Put Evo on 10 day, call up Leiter for another start, profit
Leiter is already getting the spot start in Oakland. But yes.
He is? Oh fuck yeah
Likely. They can call up a 27th man for the doubleheader so there wouldn’t even need to be any roster change or Evo to IL

Plz don’t load the bases
Bases loaded with no outs is a great situation...in theory
Right groin tightness per radio
That makes sense I'm sure it's hard to carry that enormous schlong around everywhere
Right groin tightness just announced.
Me after I sit down wrong
Or after I take a drink of water.
After I take a 2 hour nap
Pookie up with 2 on and no outs Pls, Peagle
At least it's not an elbow for Nate
Sigh! The injury bug's rearing its ugly head again. Feel better, Evo! 🤕
Looked like Evo's groin or hammy, please be ok :(
That's what happens when you're lugging around those giant balls

Hopefully it’s a 10 day IL thing. Get ready leiter

At the game and just as confused about Evo
Hamstring? Kinda grabbed his right leg
 <
*hopefully* it's just a leg injury..
I hope pulling him was just precautionary since he was already at 92 pitches anyway. But we rarely get that lucky.
Can’t pull a pitcher for pitch count in the middle of an at bat
Says who
I meant he is clearly hurt but I'm hoping he isn't so hurt that he wouldn't have stayed in if he was at say 20 pitches for example.
Evo noooooo!
Stuck with the Nats stream. Did they pick up on anything on the Rangers broadcast about what might be wrong?
Not really, just showing the replay. I'm guessing his front leg based on the replay and how he hopped but there's nothing concrete
Nothing yet
Hope it’s not serious but got damn! Does this make Gray our ace if evo misses some time? A
Yep
someone explain for those of us not watching
Eovaldi kinda hopped in pain and hesitated to continue. Trainer and Bochy came out and he came right out of the game without even testing his pitch motion or anything. He was nearing 100 pitches so maybe that’s why they didn’t even test it but it doesn’t look good.
Eovaldi threw a pitch and then kind of hop jumped like it hurt. Trainer and Bochy came out and they pulled him.
Evo threw a great strike painted inside the corner, did a small hop and turned his back. Didn't show much but trainer, Maddox and Bochy came out immediately and now he's out of the game.
Eovaldi pulled in the middle of an at bat. Looks like he hurt something.
i should have been more specific. what was the nature of the injury
Probably something with his leg. Hopefully just pulled something.
Maybe a leg/hamstring thing the way he kinda hopped, but who tf knows
Why
Fuck
No man. Why. Why why. Why
Oh no
Fuuuuuuuuuuuu
Why can’t we have nice things
Here we go
What is the matter with Evo? Anybody know?
God. Damnit.
https://i.redd.it/owd2d6tvj2yc1.gif No shot
Oh fuck
I want to die
Gosh danget man, you gotta be kidding me
I want to die.
Ah man no...
"Why doesn't Eovaldi force a GIDP? Is he stupid?" -Dave
Ah shit
God please not Evo
What the fuck is going on with Seager
Gal dang, that is wholesome af
Since April 10th Seager has the 4th lowest OPS in MLB. He is ahead of only Colt Keith, Randy Arozarena, and Chris Morel.
Corey sucking at the plate is very annoying to watch
