Rangers Take Series

The Texas Rangers showed they

have a pretty good  offense. Right

now the Mariners  could use some

of it. 

The Mariners  have superior  pitching

however for the most part the offense

is in a slump. Julio was willing to  slide

down to the sixth spot to help the team.

The Rangers beat the Mariners  4-3.

Luis Castillo  had one bad inning 

giving up three runs  in third. He

went five innings  giving  up eight

hits while striking out nine. Had no

walks. 

I  know the Mariners should snap

out of it but hope  it will be soon.

Right now Teoscar Hernandez 

and AJ Pollock are struggling 

mightily at the plate. Kelenic 

had a couple  hits and almost 

was hurt in the game. 

So far no one has been dh very 

well at the plate. My opinion 

whether Pollock or Taylor Trammell 

should be dh for three straight games

no matter facing a righty  or lefty.

Platooning isn't  working  that well. 

I would like someone  who will get 

between nine and twelve  at bats

at dh before  handing off to someone 

else.

Marco Gonzales  followed  by Bryce 

Miller and Logan Gilbert look like they

should  win  the series in Detroit. This is

why the games  are played you never know.

7 MI 8

It would be nice to  move the lineup 

a little  bit  more but since Crawford, 

France and Kelenic are doing well 

and now at the top of the lineup there

is not much else to  do  except see

can start hitting.  They could  have Eugenio 

bat fifth and Raleigh go to fourth but 

might not do a whole  lot of good or

difference anyway.

Eugenio  who had a good  start at 

of the season is hitting. 152 for May 

and has one home run. Cal Raleigh 

who hasn't  hit that well on the season

had five home runs in April is hitting 

.148 and has no home runs or driven

in any runs in  May. Julio had five of

his six home runs in April is batting 

.092 and has two rbi's. Tells us

nothing with the guys supposed to

drive in the run

Teoscar  Hernandez  who started off

bad then improved had seven home runs 

in May is hitting .232 but has no home runs

in May and driven in three runs. I  rest my

case about the offense.000000 will help the guys. Marco7

Gonzales  starts on Friday  followed by

Bryce Miller and Logan  Gilbert.  The

second series  beginning on the Monday 

with George Kirby. They play in Atlanta for

three  before  coming home. Hopefully a

good  win streak before coming  home.

Go M's.
