Right on Rangers LIVE!

Brandon Nimmo hit a two-run homer in the eighth, but Texas’ late push stopped there in a 5-3 loss to Milwaukee, the Rangers’ fourth straight defeat. Cal Quantrill allowed three runs over six innings, struck out a season-high eight and retired his final 14, while Cody Freeman hit his first homer of the year.

Austin gets into why there’s no room left to qualify losses with 26 games to go, the offense’s failure to cash in traffic, Wyatt Langford’s health, Evan Carter’s shrinking runway, what Milwaukee’s athletic style says about Texas’ offseason needs, Ezequiel Duran’s Gold Glove case and 2027 role, and why Kumar Rocker faces a difficult matchup in the finale.

What is Right on Rangers LIVE!?

Right on Rangers is where Rangers fans ride the season in real time.

The LIVE shows are the heartbeat. Big wins, ugly losses, bullpen chaos, breakout heaters, trade rumors, roster debates, and the takes that come with actually caring about this team.

Sometimes those takes get hot. That’s part of watching 162 with people who are invested. But the reaction still has receipts. We use stats, film, history, roster context, and what’s happening on the field to figure out what the game actually revealed.

Between LIVE shows, we go deeper on the players, decisions, stories, and moments shaping Texas baseball.

Rangers first, always. When the calendar turns, the Cowboys, Longhorns, Mavericks, and the biggest Texas sports stories get their run too.

If you want sterile box-score recaps, this probably isn’t your show. If you want passionate Rangers talk with actual baseball underneath it, welcome in.

Hi and welcome to another edition of Right

on Rangers Live.

Coming at you bottom of the eighth hitting.

Bases juiced.

Junis on the mound.

2-2 count.

Two outs trying to get out of this

one.

Trying to keep the game right where it

needs to belong, man.

Nimmo, two run bomb to make it 5

-3.

Looking pretty bleak there until Nimmo got a

hold of one.

Rangers have an opportunity here.

Let's see if they can get out of

the bottom of the eighth unscathed.

Junis sets and the pitch.

Very good pitch by Junis.

You just had, I mean, just had Lara

holding off on that one.

Pratt in the on-deck circle.

He will bat next.

Cody Freeman, by the way, a solo shot

to add another one.

Rangers have gotten all their home runs, all

of their runs off home tonight.

Eighth pitch of the at-bat coming up

here.

Junis, 27 total pitches in this frame, man.

He has had to work.

Brewers fans on their feet.

Oh, I think he went.

Yes, he went and Junis escapes.

Houdini act for sure.

Jacob Junis gets strike three on a check

swing and we will head to the top

of the ninth inning.

Two run deficit preserved.

The Rangers will have a shot.

Bloop and a blast, baby.

Bloop and a blast as they say.

See if they can get it done here.

Welcome to everyone who's coming in the show

a little bit after we got started.

Rangers trailing five to three in the second

game of this three game set.

Texas trying to avoid a seventh straight, did

not stutter on that seven straight road series

loss.

Hard to believe.

We know that this is a much better

team at home than on the road.

Seven straight road series losses.

That almost feels like hard to do.

I don't know about you guys.

That, that almost feels difficult to do at

this point.

She will see if they can come back

here.

We will have looks like coming up in

the top of the ninth Peterson Freeman and

Carter.

So you got a pretty good band and

a pretty good band to put it all

together.

Peterson just missed one earlier on in the

game.

Oh, for one came into pinch hit, gave

it a ride.

That's sky high man to the track and

just did not quite get over the wall.

Trevor Megill, by the way, coming in for

the brewers here to close this one out

on the season.

Megill will give you some of the numbers

to 28 ERA.

He has 24 saves.

Looks like in terms of blown saves, just

two on the year.

He does have three losses to his name.

And so at this point, Rangers are going

to have to figure out a way against

one of the league's best.

Look Megill in his last outing against the

Mets on the 25th.

So it's been about four days since he's

pitched, did allow three base runners in an

inning and a third, but no earned runs.

And over his last 15 games, Megill is

sporting a 0.59 ERA one earned run.

Am I injecting this conversation with hope right

now?

15 innings, one earned run for Megill over

his last 15 games.

How about it?

We'll see if Jack Peterson, Cody Freeman, Evan

Carter, a game, Evan Carter's birthday, by the

way, happy birthday to Evan.

Happy birthday to him.

Need a little bit of that late season,

2023 magic, please.

Somebody get on base and Evan Carter parks

one deal.

Sounds good to me.

Joc two 34 average on the year.

Eight Oh five OPS again.

Oh, for one with the fly out.

Welcome to everybody.

Appreciate you hanging out for this Saturday night

Fox special John Smoltz in rare form.

As always Joc first pitch hacking and lazily

flies out here.

Not a great start, not a great start

to the ninth here.

Cody Freeman will come to bat and I

know y'all heard John Smoltz hating on

Cody Freeman earlier in this game.

It never fails.

Dude just never fails to find something to

troll on when it comes to the Texas

Rangers.

Cody hits the home run, you know, kind

of admires it.

Knew he got it.

Look, it wasn't a second Decker, but Smoltz

with the quick comment, man, for a guy

that doesn't hit many homers, he sure acted

like that one landed in the second deck.

Dude, why?

Like, why?

Why would you even need to say that,

man?

Like, come on now.

After we, what we all watch Contreras take

forever in a day, rounding the bases on

his home run.

I don't even care how far Contreras has

went, man.

You got nothing to say for the guy

that is holding an entertainment show for about

an hour, rounding the bases.

But Cody Freeman stands and admires a fly

ball, a home run for three or four

seconds.

And we got to make sure we say

something about it.

Come on now, man.

That ain't it.

That ain't it.

Cody is 0-2, by the way.

Gonna need a little rally here, baby.

Here's a pitch from Megill.

And that is gonna be a ground out.

Cody running hard down the line, not able

to get it.

Evan Carter, you're our only hope.

The little savior.

Gonna need to save Texas here if they

want to avoid another series loss.

Milwaukee trying to win number 85 right here.

Texas trying to get back within two games

of 500.

Carter 0-1 with the strikeout.

Did not start today because of the lefty

on the hill.

Drohan dominated Texas for most of the game.

Five innings, seven base runners, one earned run.

First pitch to Carter, low.

1-0 count.

Carter on the season.

Numbers are not looking very good, but we

know this.

Carter is at 196, 619 OPS.

Ground ball, foul ball here.

And we go to a 1-1 count.

Lightning Joel, what's good, man?

Thanks for the comment.

Yeah, I mean, well said.

Hard to get hits in this series.

You face some good pitching.

I mean, let's not pretend.

The pitching has been pretty solid.

Drohan, I wouldn't have maybe said as a

guy you were super worried about.

Henderson, a little more so.

Evan Carter, a little charge in this one,

but it is going to be caught right

before the track.

Rangers are gonna drop this one by a

score of 5-3.

They go down 3-0 early.

Cal Quantrill, I don't want to say rusty

or shaky.

You know, Cal just got hit around a

little bit early on, but you had him

retiring 14 straight brewers to end his outing.

It's hard for me to sit here and

get on Cal Quantrill.

I mean, Cal gives you a quality start.

He is totally outperforming any expectation you had

of him.

And Cal gives you another chance to win

today.

I mean, Cal allowed four base runners all

night long in six innings of play.

I mean, it's just the Cal Quantrill stuff.

Nobody should be saying anything about this, Matt.

Nobody.

I really felt like I exercised good discipline

because I know there were some people firing

off, you know, oh, it had to come

to an end sometime when it came to

Cal Quantrill giving up those early deep balls.

But at the end of the day, he

goes six.

He allows three earned runs, four base runners.

And look, two of those base runners were

homers.

Eight strikeouts, retired his last 14.

Yeah.

Yeah, I cannot go Cal Quantrill slander at

all tonight.

If anything, you got to go praises.

You limited one of the best, if not

the best team in baseball to four base

runners.

Matt, on Facebook, good comment here.

You said it well, my guy.

The only chance for the Rangers to win

is for the pitchers and the bullpen to

combine for a shutout.

Swolger, what's good?

Another fake comeback is the comment.

Yeah, I kind of tweeted that out tongue

in cheek, like when Nimmo hit the homer.

Yeah, Brandon Nimmo activating the good fight excuse.

I mean, come back here in the eighth

inning.

It wasn't untrue.

It wasn't wrong.

Nimmo activates the fake comeback.

He activates the good fight excuse.

And the Rangers, at least it looks like,

lose a close game, right?

Pretty much, Brewers had this one in hand,

I would say a majority of the game,

right?

At no point did you really feel like

Texas was super close.

I mean, you had some opportunities.

The Rangers left seven on base.

They were one for four with runners in

scoring position.

On the flip side, Brewers were three for

seven with runners in scoring position.

Brewers have just played better.

I mean, look, I think it is 100

% fair to say, hey, the Brewers are

a good team.

That's a comment from YouTube here.

Brewers are a good team, no doubt.

And it's hard for me always to know

exactly how comments are intended, but I'll just

say what this comment makes me think of.

It's just that there's no time.

There's no time for anyone to be qualifying

losses.

I don't care if the Brewers are a

good team.

And again, my guy, I'm not saying this

comment is, and what I'm about to say

is directed at you.

It's just what it made me think of.

It cannot be something that we do, qualifying

losses at this point in the season.

You have 26 games left.

You have 26 games left.

It doesn't matter who the opponent is.

You have to win games.

You have to win ball games.

And maybe there's going to be some people

pointing to the Houston loss today that does

make it a little better.

Depends on how you look at it, or

does it make it more painful?

Because you could be gaining ground, but instead

you're doing this.

I just can't qualify losses anymore.

There's 26 games left in the year.

This isn't March.

This isn't April, hey, we just ran into

a good squad.

I mean, with all due respect, what are

we going to be facing in October if

we're lucky enough to make it there?

What are we going to be facing?

Probably good teams, right?

So for me, I'm not interested at all

in gassing up the Brewers.

Don't even need to do that.

We all know they're a good team.

That being said, this game was not out

of reach, and the pitching that we faced

was not so lights out that a comeback

is just totally improbable, impossible.

You face Drohan, who came into this with

a near four ERA.

The bullpen guys that they face today, Megill

excluded.

Megill has been very, very good for the

Brewers, but Senzatela and Patrick, I mean, both

those guys have been like solid, but not

locked down, shut down.

I just can't sit here and just say,

hey, good team.

Rangers had their chances in this one, man.

They really did.

Are we making it to 500 this year?

Jase, good question.

Good question from YouTube here.

Sugi, what's good?

I mean, look, the Rangers, if you just

do the fast math, they would have to

go 16 and 10.

Is that right?

You would have to go, no, no, no,

no, no.

You would have to go 15 and 11,

15 and something like that.

Yeah.

You would have to go 15 and 11

to finish 500.

I mean, 15 and 11 doesn't sound like

the most difficult thing in the world to

achieve, but this is the 2026 Rangers we're

talking about here.

I mean, 15 and 11 doesn't sound super

complicated, but then again, we have watched this

team for many games and I do think

if you have sat through all 136 gamers

at this point, you probably understand why 15

and 11 raises some concern, raises some doubts.

Let's see.

Gray pitching, Freeman trying to score on a

ground ball.

Comment from YouTube here.

And Duran dropping the grounder.

Screwed it today.

I mean, sure.

No doubt all three of those things played

into it, but really at the end of

the day, the offense just didn't hit enough.

You didn't score enough runs today.

You had two big hits, Freeman and Nimmo

that, that made this respectable, but you just

didn't have enough, enough hits today.

You didn't have enough big hits today.

And you had some opportunities, right?

Duran had a first and second two outs.

You had some opportunities, right?

Jansen had a big opportunity.

He had a two out AB with a

runner in scoring position that didn't work out

like the Rangers had chances today.

I definitely have to push it back to

the offense.

I understand like the Freeman, you know, running

into the out at home is frustrating.

Zeke Duran, you know, getting moved from center

field.

The second base kind of boots the ball

around a little bit.

I mean, I get those things add up,

but the offense just did not hit enough,

man.

They didn't.

You had, you know, Jansen 0 for 4,

Ohoppy plus Peterson 0 for 4.

You had, you know, the middle, the heart

of the order guys, Langford 0 for 2

with a walk.

There just wasn't enough today.

Was not enough today from the bats.

For me, I don't even know if they

showed RJL.

Did they show the replay?

Was Freeman getting waved home on that one?

Anybody chime in.

I don't know if they ever showed the

replay on that.

Was Ragsdale waving him home and he was

just following orders or was that him trying

to be aggressive?

Did anybody actually catch that?

I had the broadcast guys in and out.

I really can't listen to Smoltzy and, and

the Fox guys for too long.

I had it on for a little while

after the Cody Freeman thing.

I'll admit I got a little pissed off

and just said, man, forget these guys.

I'm just, I'm just going to listen to

this one a little more quietly.

I turned up the volume whenever there was

a big play or anything like that, but

I just didn't care for the in-between.

Yeah.

I'm not sure if it was Cody getting

waved home or if it was him trying

to take that extra base and just be

a little sneaky, but either way that was

big.

That was big.

Rangers are going to have to try to

salvage a game tomorrow.

You got Kumar Rocker on the bump.

Uh, I gotta just be real.

I think this is a nightmare matchup for

the Rangers Kumar Rocker on the Hill.

I hope that I'm totally wrong and totally

off base on this one.

And I'll be happy to eat a massive

plate of crow, but I don't feel great

about the game tomorrow.

And I don't say this all the time.

You guys, you guys know this.

I'm not always glooming and dooming, but I

just don't feel it's a very good matchup

for Rocker.

Uh, this team, this Brewers team, they have

a great eye, great play discipline.

They take a lot of walks.

We know that Rocker very susceptible to the

walk.

This team does not give away a lot

of it.

Bats.

They are going to make Rocker work tomorrow.

I just don't anticipate a great game from

Kumar.

I really do hope to be wrong y

'all.

Uh, again, I'm not constantly proclaiming L's if

anything.

And I think some of my long-time

listeners can attest to this.

If anything, I'm, I'm always mostly trying to

find the reason to feel good about a

game, but the offense has looked bad.

Uh, the offense really hasn't looked great all

week.

I mean, you had the Chicago games, but

I think I kind of clarified this.

Like I know we scored a lot of

runs in Chicago, but it just doesn't hit

the same for me.

You can say, Hey, 22 runs in the

white socks series.

But the more I reflect on it, it

just doesn't hit the same when, you know,

most of those runs are being scored when

you're already down 10, one, right?

I mean, that, that was the story of

the Chicago series minus Monday night.

Monday night was a good game.

Rangers scored a ton of runs, but then

going into Tuesday and Wednesday, just from there

just felt like most of the offense came

when the game was out of hand.

Uh, and then in the other game, what

was it?

The finale or, or maybe the Tuesday game,

I'm forgetting which one long week offense just

got shut down.

Right.

So at this point, I'm not really taking

away a lot of positives from the Chicago

series.

I think, yeah, in a vacuum, 22 runs

sounds great, but let's just focus in on

tomorrow's game.

I'm not sure who the pitching matchup is

yet.

I don't know if they've announced it.

Let's see what we got tomorrow is, uh,

May.

All right.

So righty four 56 ERA may did not

throw a lot.

Uh, didn't he just throw one pitch and

then had to exit pretty sure in his

last start, he threw like one pitch and

had to exit the game.

Yep.

He did.

He threw one pitch, did get an out,

but the ball deflected off him and he

left the game that was on the 26th.

So they're starting them again here on the

29th.

He has kind of gotten lit up.

I mean, Milwaukee versus Seattle, he allowed seven

earned runs.

He allowed five earned runs in a game

on July 18th against the diamond backs.

That was when he was pitching for St.

Louis.

He's been a little bit up and down

this year, but I just go back to

Kumar rocker.

I mean, this is again, an offense in

Milwaukee.

That's going to make you work.

Kumar already has issues limiting pitches.

This team, this brewer's team takes a ton

of walks.

They attack baseballs in the zone and with

Kumar rocker and the way that he holds

runners or doesn't hold runners very well.

I can imagine the brewers are going to

be trying to exploit the running game on

him.

I can't say I have a great feeling.

I don't want to go on and on,

but I do not have a great feeling

about the Rangers salvaging a game tomorrow.

Hope you'll be wrong.

As I said on the show last night,

this team is so unpredictable.

Tomorrow could be an excellent Rangers win, but

I think on paper, it does not look

like a very promising game for Texas.

Let's see what else we got.

Nate.

What's good, man.

A road trip has mirrored the Tampa Bay

Houston trip so far where we win the

first game and lose the rest.

So frustrating.

Yeah.

That's a really great comp actually.

Good to see my guy as always.

That's a really great comp.

We're talking about the end of July, right?

It's like the end of the month, the

end of the month blues for Texas.

They really have had some issues on the

road.

I think when you go to the standings,

it'll back that up pretty nicely.

Rangers this year are looks like 30 and

40 on the road.

You're 10 games under 500 on the road.

It's just been an issue for them all

year.

There's seven games above 500 when they play

at home.

So this team really does need to get

back to Globe Life, get some home cooking.

Hopefully they will win some games.

You got the athletics coming to town Monday.

Hopefully that will help, but I feel like

the Rangers are going to have to take

their butt kicking and then get on that

flight and hope to really come on strong

when they get back to Arlington.

I think that is the game plan.

If they can steal a win tomorrow, I

think you got to feel really good going

into the home stand.

I'm not counting on it.

I'm not holding my breath for it, but

I sure would love to see Texas find

a way to get a dub tomorrow.

Then you go down back home and hopefully

you can go on somewhat of a run,

at least win a couple of series.

That would be phenomenal.

All right.

I've got a few things, but man, I

sure would like to hear what you guys

have to say.

I'm going to be up and down the

comment section.

I'll be trying to get as much as

I possibly can in everything a substance.

Yeah.

One in five, I mean, is I think

Swolger comment here.

Best case scenario was three and three.

Now you're staring at one in five.

Yeah.

I would have been very hopeful if we

could have come out of this road trip

three and three.

My hope is a little bit lesser now

that it looks like one in five is

most likely the outcome here.

I think the Rangers could count themselves incredibly

fortunate.

If rocker can give you like a gem

tomorrow and then you somehow find a way

to get the bats go bats go in

and get on a flight to Arlington with

a win under your belt, that'd be huge.

Uh, Caden, what's good.

Article came out today on Langford infuriated me.

Why in the world does he play in

the outfield with arm issues?

Either it should be put on the IL

or DHA.

Yeah.

I saw that too.

You know, Langford has had an up and

down year, both at the plate in terms

of production, but also in terms of his

health.

Right.

I think that I feel very, very similarly

to this take Caden.

Appreciate the comment.

I just feel this is going to be

used as an excuse in the off season

for the Rangers to not do a whole

lot.

I mean, we, we just never had everybody

fully healthy.

I can, I can hear the CY interview

now and I'm looking forward to this upcoming

season.

You know, we just were never at a

hundred percent in 2026.

And now that everybody's healthy, I'm looking forward

to seeing what the guys in the clubhouse

can do.

And, you know, I think we're, we're looking

forward to competing for another world series championship.

And again, maybe that'll come after very limited

to potentially no major moves.

I would not be shocked in the slightest

to hear that interview from CY or any

of the front office guys.

I think they will absolutely be thinking about

that and it's delusional.

Langford just playing, continuing to play.

Hopefully you're not messing anything else up long

-term.

Surely it's kind of a pain tolerance thing

at this point.

That's what I got to think.

It's, it's gotta be pain tolerance.

Otherwise, if there was any risk, I'm not

sure why you would be keeping them in

there.

Texas, they definitely need a bat like Wyatt

Langford's, but if the bat's not working, the

bat's not working and you're playing hurt, not

a great recipe, just not a great recipe.

Langford, by the way, I mean, he has

looked very interesting out there in the field.

He's had some nice plays despite being hurt,

but he has had some interesting throws.

I'm trying to be nice.

He has not looked himself really rolling around

out there.

I would love to see Wyatt Langford at

100% health.

Not sure we're going to get it in

2026, but I think Wyatt at this point

is an injury prone player.

I don't think there's any way around it.

I know some people get really sensitive when

I, when I make conclusions like that, I

just try and let the numbers speak for

themselves.

I mean, this is a guy that every

year misses, has missed at least 30 games.

He's missed over a hundred games, uh, in

three seasons and a hundred games.

You've missed a hundred plus games in three

seasons of play, not even three full seasons.

I mean, I don't even know if Wyatt

Langford injury prone is debatable at this point.

He's an injury prone player.

We have a lot of Josh Young, I

would say is teetering.

I know some people have already declared him

that I think he's teetering on the injury

prone.

Wyatt's quote, by the way, I mean, I'm

not hurt, but I am playing through something.

I mean, I guess I know when, when

I coach middle school football, one of the

coaches that I coached with, uh, always talked

about the difference between being hurt and being

injured.

So I think I understand what Wyatt is

saying here.

I mean, he's, he's not injured to the

point where he can't play, but I mean,

nevertheless, uh, he's playing through something.

It all started with the strain and it's

still kind of lingering a little bit.

I'm not in pain.

I'm not hurting.

I try to get to them as quick

as I can and get them in as

quick as I can.

Okay.

So kind of a confusing quote there from

Wyatt.

I mean, look, I know not all these

guys are, you know, media savants, but kind

of a, a confusing quote from Wyatt.

Uh, I, I felt confuzzled just reading that,

but, uh, look, I think it's fair to

say he's got some issues going on.

Uh, and if he didn't, this article wouldn't

have been written.

He missed time by the way, with a

forearm strain and a hamstring strain.

If you were not totally up to date

hamstring and forearm strain, I'm assuming he's referring

to the forearm strain.

The forearm strain was what kept him out

most recently, right?

All right.

There's the Wyatt Langford update for you.

I just don't like, you know, in the

lowest part of the season, the lowest part

of the season, I just, I don't like

these excuses coming out.

I don't know about you guys.

I'm just not a fan of, Hey, we're,

we're hitting a rock bottom.

Let's bring up excuses for why it's just

not my favorite.

It's not my favorite at all.

I would love if Texas could just like

NHL, like hockey, just keep it on the

shelf until the off season, man.

I mean, look, I think hockey does that

better than, than almost any sport.

I love how in hockey you, you really

don't hear about injuries until after the season's

over.

Right.

Like, I love it like the, like the,

you know, Dallas stars.

I mean, out here, obviously I get a

lot of golden Knights coverage living out in

Vegas.

I love how it's like, you know, he,

he broke his leg three weeks ago in

the opening round against Colorado.

And you know, it's, it's been an issue,

but you know, he, he managed to still,

you know, have a great postseason, even with

a broken leg for three weeks.

I love the NHL for that.

Those guys are just tough as nails.

I have a ton of respect for hockey

players, ton of respect.

I just 100% wish that they would

leave this stuff on the shelf till the

postseason or till, till after the season, I

guess, to clarify Natalie, thanks for the correction.

If that's the case, thank you for the

correction there either way.

It's not essential to the point.

The point is he's dealing with injuries that

have still been lingering from earlier in the

year.

I do feel like Wyatt is an injury

prone player that needs to figure out a

way to stay on the field.

It's, it's a part of everything that you

have to consider when you think about players

and they've got to be on the field

for you, man, especially a guy like Wyatt

Langford.

Like if you're going to tout Wyatt Langford

as one of your big offensive weapons is

one of your big offensive players.

You can't keep doing that.

If he's going to do this every single

year, you have to stop treating him like

he's actually a reliable offensive place for production.

He's not, he hasn't been, he has talent.

He has a lot of talent, but the

injuries and then the consequences of the injuries

have just been brutal for him this year.

Brutal.

Ethan, you can lay that draft lottery on

us.

If you want my guy, we'll, we'll check

it out.

I will always say until the Rangers are

fully eliminated, we don't get too excited about

that kind of stuff, but why not, man?

Why not?

Uh, Lord Tubbington.

Good to see you.

Got any, uh, got any nuggets for us

after this game?

Give us your best, my guy.

Good to see you.

Feels like it's been a few games.

Appreciate all you guys hanging out.

Drop a comment, drop a question.

I know, I know some y'all are

just soaking it all in right now.

You got something you want to say, you

want to add in, you got a question

you want me to answer.

Be happy to talk it through.

Uh, yeah, I've got a few things and

none of it is rocket science, but a

couple of things, you know, Brandon Nimmo, a

guy that the Rangers traded for, you know,

the Marcus Semien swap.

You definitely appreciate that.

He gives Texas some kind of shot tonight.

I think a lot of us though, and

it's kind of just the state of the

team right now, isn't it?

You didn't necessarily feel like that Nimmo charge

was going to turn into anything significant.

I just think it's indicative and it's a

direct result of how this team has played

through the first 136 games of the year

here.

I don't really judge the offense any differently,

whether the home run happened or not.

I just don't think the offense did enough

tonight.

You really had all of your offense coming

off of big swings.

Look, the brewers hit some homers tonight too,

man.

They, they don't hit a lot of homers.

So if you ever have a night against

Milwaukee, where they're actually hitting the ball out

of the ballpark, it's usually not going to

go too well.

It's not going to go too well.

Got to give Cody Freeman a little bit

of love.

He had a home run tonight that made

it three one.

I know he runs into an out really

hard to tell on that play.

Was he getting waved home?

It made it seem on the broadcast, like

they were waving him, trying to be aggressive

there.

If they did wave him home, that is

a really bad send by Ragsdale.

I mean, you're almost betting terrain is going

to boot it.

And I'm not really sure why you'd be

betting terrain is going to boot it.

They're terrain pretty solid defensively, but look, Cody

Freeman, good for him with the Homer John

Smoltz with the freaking, you know, troll comment

when he hits it because he didn't like

how Cody admired it.

And look, Cody Freeman, hasn't played that many

games in the major leagues this year, but

you know, John Smoltz, man, just talk about

the ultimate stat cherry picker, man, dude, doesn't

even know how many games Cody's actually played.

Like Cody's got some pop.

He's not going to be, you know, your,

your monster home run hitter, but come on,

man.

We all had to watch Contreras, the Contreras

circus show for a minute and a half

as he rounded the bases, but, but we

got to drop a comment on Cody Freeman

for admiring the baseball for three or four

seconds after he hit it.

Ridiculous.

We already talked a little bit about Cal

Quantrill.

Cal was good, man.

He was good tonight.

He, he gave up the two early homers,

but then he retired 14 straight Cal Q

continues to just exceed expectations.

And I know some people were a little

quick on the trigger with Cal tonight.

Like, man, it was a good run.

No, it's still a good run.

It's a great run for Cal.

You really cannot complain with what he was

able to give you tonight.

I mean, he goes six strong innings, three

earned runs, eight strikeouts, no complaints from me

about Cal Quantrill.

He kept the game in reach against the

best team in baseball.

I don't know how anybody can criticize or

cut down Cal and what he has done

this season.

He gave the Rangers a chance to win

and they refuse to help them out.

RJL to a hundred percent best pitcher that

they have no doubt.

Steve, what's good, brother.

Thank you for the comment.

Facebook comment, which says, would I keep Carter

and Langford?

Both of that injury problems.

Carter has really done nothing since the historic

2023 run.

Langford can't seem to go to the next

level.

You know, I think it's going to be

one of the big questions of the off

season.

I do think this next month is going

to matter a lot.

I don't think they're going to move on

from Wyatt Langford by any means.

So let me just cut to the chase.

Evan Carter's a little bit more interesting.

I do think it really depends on free

agency and what happens with the lockout.

You know, are the Rangers going to potentially

go out and get a little bit of

help in the offense department?

Is that offense going to be in the

form of an outfielder?

Could Evan Carter potentially be a little expendable,

maybe on the trade block?

I think that a lot is going to

depend on what he does the next month,

but I will say this, and I said

this on the show, I think last night

or the night before, you just have to

stop thinking about some of these players in

terms of potential, what they could be, especially

when they've given you like three seasons in

a row of a body of work.

Like at some point, you know, what are

we going to set as the bar or

the threshold for runway for players like Evan

Carter?

I think that is a really tough question,

but at the same time, I would probably

err on the side of if Evan Carter

does not produce at the end of this

season, if he does not catch fire even

a little bit in September, I'm not really

sure why you wouldn't potentially use him as

a trade ship to accomplish something else that

you want.

You've got some options coming up in the

minor leagues.

You have some outfielders that are on the

rise.

I'm not saying that any of them are

going to turn into an all-star level

player, but I don't see Evan Carter as

irreplaceable.

I love Evan Carter, think he's a great

dude.

I don't see him as irreplaceable on the

team.

I think he is going to have to

earn it a little bit here.

Feel the same way about a couple of

other players, like nice players having good seasons,

but I don't think that they're necessarily irreplaceable.

Like Josh Young fits in that category for

me.

Is he having a great year?

Sure.

He is having a great year at the

plate, not having a great year in the

field, not having a great year in terms

of his health, but at the plate, when

playing, yeah, absolutely.

I don't think the Rangers have a lot

of players that are irreplaceable.

And so I don't see them trading away

Langford or giving up on him.

I do think a lot of other players,

if you can find a deal, yeah, absolutely.

100%.

SPEAKER 1 Using Carter as a pinch hitter

was a head scratcher for me.

Comment says from YouTube here, literally the worst

hitter they have, and Skip does that.

Well, that's because they're kind of on like

auto draft, if you will.

It's just an automation in the Skip GPT,

as y'all like to call it, algorithm.

It's just an automation at this point.

You get a lefty lefty, you get a

righty righty, you got to bench them and

put Evan Carter in the game.

I did not love the Evan Carter substitution.

I think there is a place for Evan

to come into a game.

And for me, it would probably be more

when the Rangers are ahead.

I think Evan is a great player to

have when you need a lead protected.

When you are trailing and when you need

offense generated, even against a righty, I'm really

not sure that Evan Carter needs to be

in the game either.

I do think that's a little bit of

just automation from Skip.

There's a righty in the game.

I got to get Evan out there.

Not really a dude that I want as

my answer for comeback.

I was hoping he was going to do

something special on his birthday.

Evan Carter, happy birthday once again.

Look, he's a good dude.

Owe him a lot of flowers and praise

for 2023, but it's been a few years

since then, man.

That cannot buy you unlimited runway.

It just can't.

Let's see.

Langford extension is a couple of the comments

here on YouTube.

I think that many of us would have

been willing to pull the trigger on something

like that.

And I think in some ways, if you

can get it at the right price, I

think you do consider it.

But that being said, I'm not giving up

any kind of crazy dollar amount for Langford.

Now, Langford's controllable for a few more years.

I believe it's 2030.

If I'm not mistaken, I think it's 2030

that you have Langford until he and Evan

Carter on the exact same track.

I feel like, you know, if you can

get a deal made with Wyatt to cover

the next three seasons, 27, 28, and 29,

plus maybe two more years, maybe like a

little five-year contract.

I don't think you put that off the

table.

Now, like the 10-year contract, I'm not

sure if you're doing a 10-year deal

with Wyatt right now.

But like, if you want to do something

to cover the rest of his arb years,

Wyatt's going to be, I think, in arbitration

after this season.

I think he's in arb one, if I'm

not mistaken, next off season.

If you want to do a deal to

cover Wyatt's arb years, and then maybe you

sprinkle a couple more years on top, I'd

be a fan of that.

I think you have to get it at

a good price that you're comfortable with.

And Langford, probably not in the best negotiating

position right now.

If I was Wyatt's agent, I would definitely

have to see what I'm being offered in

terms of money.

But you definitely don't want to tie yourself

down too much if you're Wyatt, because if

you pop next year, that's a pretty big

loss of income if you sign some kind

of weird team-friendly deal this year.

But at the same time, if injuries and

this kind of thing is going to continually

plague him, might be nice to have a

little security for the next five years.

It's a tough one.

I mean, we've seen it work out well.

We've seen it work out poorly, a la

Joey Gallo, right?

Joey, infamously with Scott Boris, rejected a pretty

nice extension from the Rangers, and he got

traded off to New York, then LA, and

the rest is history.

I think that right now, everybody's probably going

to hold.

I don't think there's any rush to get

a deal done with what Wyatt's gone through

this year and his ups and downs as

a hitter.

We keep on going.

I do think with Wyatt, you definitely keep

him.

I don't think you try and trade him.

That would be the guy that I would

say, probably keep off limits.

I'd like to see Langford and Walcott play

together.

I think everybody else, though, on the team,

you're pretty willing to let go of.

There's not a lot of players that I

would say, nope.

Even, you know, Rocker and Leiter, I don't

think Rocker and Leiter are off limits.

I really don't.

I know that there's a lot of Rangers

fans that want to continue to preach patience

with Rocker and with Leiter.

Again, I'm not saying you trade them for

a bag of chips, but what I am

saying is, if you find the right deal,

I wouldn't be, hey, no way a deal

gets done if Jack Leiter is one of

the pieces that you need.

No way a deal gets done if Kumar

Rocker is one of the guys that you

like.

I think the only player, the only two

players that I would really be hesitant on

the 40 man to trade away, Walcott, Langford.

I think those guys are going to be

the untouchables at this point.

We keep on rolling.

Let's see.

Knowing our luck, if we did trade Carter,

he would immediately turn into a superstar.

Comment from YouTube here, Caden.

Appreciate you.

Because that always happens with us.

It does.

I mean, a lot of the times we

trade somebody away and they have some success.

It doesn't always happen, but that would be

a totally Rangers thing to happen.

It just would be, be a totally Rangers

thing to happen.

All right, we'll keep on going.

I got a few more things here.

You guys know I can go on forever

talking about this team.

It's not a great weekend to be a

Rangers fan, but you know what?

It's great to be here hanging out with

y'all.

Milwaukee's damage tonight.

It was done in a multitude of ways,

wasn't it?

You had a couple of home runs.

You had them doing their thing, going station

to station, taking the extra bag.

It definitely is a show of everything you'd

like the Rangers offense to become.

Texas, very reliant on the big swing right

now.

I would love to see in the off

season this team go much more, much harder

on the side of what Milwaukee is doing.

Don't need all the homers if we get

them great.

I just need players that can put consistent

pressure on defenses, low strikeout, high contact speed,

all those things.

Good base running.

That needs to be the priority for the

Rangers in the off season.

If they do go more of a robust

rebuild route, that's got to be priority number

one.

If you're looking at the offensive side of

it, you've got to get away from these

one-dimensional players that are either going to

be slug or nothing.

This year, the Rangers don't have a ton

of guys hitting home runs.

You've got Burger.

You've got Joc Pederson.

But then in the in-between, it can

be a little bit bare sometimes.

I'd love to swap out either one of

those guys for someone that's consistently putting the

ball in play, can hit against the lefties

or righties, doesn't need to be a platoon

option.

It definitely feels like the Rangers have way

too many just one-dimensional players.

I know I've said that before.

I'll just keep saying it, hoping that finally

somebody in the front office hears it.

You've got to stop acquiring and developing all

these players that are just very one-dimensional.

I can only DH.

I can only hit against lefties.

I only hit homers.

Otherwise, I strike out and I don't walk.

You've got to get players that can do

it all.

They can put it in play.

They can walk.

They have a high contact rate.

They can run around a little bit on

the base pass, cause some havoc.

Things to be thinking about in the off

season.

And then you think about the other side

of the game, the pitching side for the

Brewers tonight.

Drowan was never unhittable.

This was a totally different night, I felt

like, from Henderson last night.

Henderson felt pretty unhittable and Henderson is good.

230 career ERA.

ERA around 250 in 2026.

Texas got six hits off Drowan.

I think, did they get a walk as

well?

They got a walk as well.

You had traffic.

Every inning, basically, you had an opportunity.

Maybe not perfectly in scoring position, but you

had an opportunity.

And they just continued to not convert chances

on the base pass into runs.

Offense, I don't feel like was necessarily overwhelmed

tonight.

I felt like they were overwhelmed last night.

I didn't feel like the offense was totally

overwhelmed tonight, but I mean, it's just the

story of the season.

You get opportunities and then at the end

of the day, you just don't end up

converting them.

It is what it is.

Houston losing tonight is a blessing, but it's

also frustrating because you had an opportunity to

get back into it and you just couldn't

make it happen.

Couldn't make it happen.

I think that the Rangers have really done

this way too consistently this year.

They see a team ahead of them lose

and then you come out and you have

a flat game where you're not able to

get anything going and you're not able to

take advantage.

It's frustrating, no doubt.

Richard, what's good?

No ignoring.

I honestly just haven't been looking a lot

over at the TikTok chat for right now,

but what do we got?

Thoughts on Ohapi?

I mean, too small of a sample size,

don't you agree?

With me, Ohapi has not even gotten enough

playing time with Texas to really be able

to judge.

I mean, he's one for seven as a

Ranger.

He had the first hit, struck out a

couple of times.

I mean, that just doesn't tell you enough.

I mean, I'd love for him to be

like three for seven right now.

That'd be awesome, but I mean, he's got

seven ABs as a Ranger.

It's pretty hard, I think, to really judge

him at this point in the game.

William, what's good?

Comment says Seager and Carter for a big

rebuild deal.

I don't know if you're going to get

a lot of value out of either one

of those players.

I think Seager is going to get you

something, but I mean, I don't really know

if the Rangers have a lot of players

at this point that are going to get

you some massive rebuild.

It's not like you have a Juan Soto,

right, to reset the farm system.

I think Wyatt Langford is maybe the closest

thing you have considering his years of control,

considering the tool bag that he has.

I think he'd probably be the highest value

player, but then there's all the injuries.

I just don't think Seager and Carter are

going to get you a whole lot, honestly

and unfortunately.

Are Ohapi's defensive stats that bad?

Yeah, I think that they are pretty terrible.

Now, I don't know how he did defensively

when he was down in the minors.

They really didn't lock in on that a

lot.

I mean, you guys know how it goes.

They're always going to err on the side

of more offense, right, showing the offense.

I don't know how he did defensively down

there.

I really don't.

Really don't.

So we'll see.

I think he's been doing a lot of

de-aging, only de-aging, right?

I don't know.

Has he caught at all?

Did he catch today?

I mean, I don't know, y'all.

I'm going crazy.

No, it was Jansen catching today.

Has Ohapi caught yet behind the dish?

It was a busy week.

I easily could have missed it, but I

feel like he's not yet made his debut

catching for the Rangers.

Let me know if I got that wrong.

Bando.

Unrelated, but Smoltz is a prick.

Trashing on Freeman for hitting his first home

run is weird.

Yeah, I've talked about this a couple of

times in the show.

So look, I need no added help with

this to get off John Smoltz just for

whatever reason, man.

It's just so easy.

It's very natural for him to troll and

clown on and trash the Rangers up for,

again, some reason, no clue what it is.

And I just, yeah, it was totally like

unshocked, I guess is the best way to

put it.

Not shocked that he finds a little opportunity,

Cody, like barely admiring a home run.

And you got to make some comment about,

oh dude, what are you doing?

You haven't hit any homers this year.

Just stupid, just stupid.

Ethan says he's only DH.

Logan O'Hoppe has only DH for Texas.

That's where I'm at.

Brian, thanks for the help on that too,

man.

By the way, appreciate you.

Alex, the question is, season's over?

No, season not over.

You've got too much parody in the AL

West and in the American League around you.

The season's not over.

I don't feel great about tomorrow's game.

I'm going to preview it here really shortly.

I don't feel great about it y'all,

but we'll preview it and I'll kind of

explain why.

I already talked about it a little bit,

but we'll circle back to that.

I think best case scenario is the Mets

beat the Astros.

And, you know, even though you get swept,

Astros lose two out of three.

So you don't lose that much ground.

That would probably be best case scenario here.

But tomorrow, Rocker versus May and Rocker against

the Brewers does not have any numbers against

any of them, but I made the point

earlier and I'll make it again.

This is a bit of a nightmare matchup

for Rocker, in my opinion.

You've got a Brewers team that walks a

lot.

One of the best walk rates, if not,

I think it might be the best walk

rate in baseball.

We know Rocker can struggle with control at

times.

Rocker goes deep into counts often.

This is also a Brewers team that punishes

pitches inside the strike zone.

They do a nice job flicking that ball

the other way.

It's not a great matchup for Kumar.

They also like to run a lot.

We know Kumar Rocker has had issues controlling

the running game.

It's not a great opportunity for Texas tomorrow,

in my opinion.

Now, the offense against May, we could potentially

see a little bit of a breakthrough.

May can definitely be shut down, but he's

got a 456 ERA.

He did get lit up by the Mets

a couple of starts ago.

Against May, Burger 0-2, Carter 1-2,

Duran 0-2, Diaz 0-2, Nicky Lopez

0-2, Brandon Nimmo 2-9, O'Hoppe 0

-3, Joc Pederson 3-6.

It'd be good to have Joc back in

the lineup.

It'll definitely be nice to have him back

in the lineup.

I want to make sure I talk a

little bit about Zeke Duran.

He played center field tonight, had a great

catch, had an outfield assist.

I know he booted a ball that ended

up costing Texas there in whatever it was,

the fifth inning or the sixth inning.

Maybe it was even the seventh inning.

I don't know.

One of those three.

33% chance they're getting that one right.

I think it was the seventh when Peyton

Gray came in.

I know Zeke booted the ball there, wasn't

able to get a hold of it, but

Zeke had a great game out in center

field, didn't he?

He had a nice, strong throw.

Another thing that the broadcast booth was hating

on, pretending like Zeke made the worst throw

in the world because he slightly short-hopped

it to Corey Seager, man.

The throw is the reason why you had

a chance to get the runner out.

Zeke's speed, getting to that ball quickly and

cutting it off, and then the strong throw

is the only reason that they had a

chance, yet the broadcast was acting like it

was the most awful throw in the world.

Another thing I just didn't get, but shouldn't

be surprised from the Fox broadcast that that

made little to no sense to me.

Zeke Duran then had a great catch, running

down a ball to his right.

Did he need the dive?

I know some people were kind of going

back and forth about this.

Look, whatever.

He was flying to that baseball and made

a nice catch.

Zeke's position is going to be interesting next

year, but before I get to that, this

guy's got to be leading the Gold Glove

utility race, man.

They do give a Gold Glove to a

utility player.

It's got to be Zeke Duran.

I think he has a neutral or positive

OAA, outs above average, at every position he's

played this year.

I don't think he has a single negative

OAA at any position.

It is incredible what he has been able

to accomplish out in the field defensively for

the Rangers, and I think he's got to

be candidate number one for the utility Gold

Glove.

So, got to give him props today.

I know that at the dish, Zeke on

the day did have one hit, didn't come

through in a big moment, but you know

what?

It does so many things to impact the

game.

I think it's pretty clear he is the

Rangers' best player this year.

Probably should be the player of the year.

Probably should win a Gold Glove at the

utility spot.

Very impressed with him.

Very impressed with Zeke Duran's play.

He's got a number of different ways that

he can hurt you.

Great defense.

Great speed.

Can put a charge into a baseball here

and there.

Don't want to think about where the Rangers

would be without Zeke Duran this year.

Don't even want to think about that.

Now, let's go to the position for next

year.

I think there's a number of different directions

you could go.

I don't feel like the club really wants

to or is going to run out Josh

Young again at third base next year.

I think they should try, if they aren't

going to trade Josh, which I think is

a possibility, I think they should try and

make Josh the permanent DH next year.

You're moving on from Joc Pederson.

You're probably not married to Justin Foscue.

I think they should try and make Josh

more of a permanent DH fixture.

Maybe you let Josh play the field occasionally,

but I really don't want to see Josh

Young as everyday third baseman next year.

I don't think that's a wise move.

Walcott probably going to break camp.

I think he'll probably make the roster.

If not, right away, they'll probably call him

up within the first few weeks if they

want to do the Chris Bryant service time

thing.

I could see that happening.

I just don't think they want to trot

out JJ for 162 next year at the

hot corner.

It was not good this year.

Another year on the tires for Josh, already

dealing with some injuries here and there.

For me, I think if Walcott makes the

team, he's a prime candidate to play third

base.

If Walcott doesn't make the team, I think

Zeke should be the third baseman.

I don't think you can waste Zeke Duran's

arm at second.

I know this year they have to do

it because of how they planned.

I don't think you can continue to waste

Zeke at second base.

The arm is too good.

The dude has the best arm on the

team, I think, at this point.

I don't think it's particularly close.

I don't think you can waste Zeke Duran

at second base.

I think he's got to either be playing

third base, shortstop, or one of the outfield

positions.

We're talking about Evan Carter earlier.

Zeke doing okay out there in center field.

Evan Carter does not turn it on.

I think you could be seeing Zeke out

there in the outfield next year, especially if

Walcott comes into play and starts taking over

at one of the infield spots.

I think Zeke in the outfield could definitely

be a thing.

Again, if Walcott's not ready, I think Zeke

at third base makes a lot of sense.

Josh Young, I don't know what they're going

to do with him.

Personally, again, I'd be looking for a trade.

If it was me, he has years of

control left, but all he can really do

at this point is hit and he doesn't

have a particularly high amount of slug.

If you don't have slug and you're not

fast, that's really tough, I think.

You're not a slugger and you have not

a lot of speed out there on the

base pass.

That's tough for me.

I know Alejandro Osuna is not a speed

demon, but the dude can move around a

little bit out there.

You can't be no slug and no speed.

That, to me, is a big no-no.

I would trade Josh Young and I would

open things up for other players, but I

know there's a lot of people that don't

want to see that trade happen.

Sometimes you got to get a little uncomfortable.

We love a lot of these players, but

at the end of the day, it's a

business.

You got to do what's best for the

team.

I'll just go back to what I said

earlier.

There's not a lot of untouchables on this

team.

I think Walcott and Langford are probably about

my only two true untouchables.

Everybody else, if you can get good value

in a trade, why not?

Why not?

Tecumseh, no clue question is what's going on

with the team.

I don't know.

Hard to say what's going on with this

team, honestly.

Young, getting healthy would be huge.

What's good, my guy?

Thanks for hanging out.

Comment says from YouTube, get Young healthy, trade

him in the offseason for a new coaching

staff.

Yeah, the coaching staff is not doing a

whole lot to rise above, to help the

team rise above.

I've said this.

I don't think Skip Schumaker is the biggest

reason why this team is losing games and

is now four games under 500, but he's

not doing a lot to get us out

of the adversity.

I don't really feel that impact.

I don't think that the coaching staff is

without blame, but I also don't think they

are to blame for the reason why this

team is not in a better position at

this point.

I'll stick with the first point here, the

first half of the point.

I do think get J.J. healthy, don't

rush him back, and maybe in the offseason,

you can get something out of him.

Demang, what's good?

Hey, everybody's welcome, brother.

It is a good time to be a

Brewers fan.

Now, the Brewers just got to get over

the October hump.

You're dominating in the regular season, man, 34

games above 500.

Now, the Brewers just got to find a

way to get over the October hump.

They've got a good squad, though.

They're definitely a fun team to watch.

Not fun to watch them when they're beating

up on the Rangers.

Do we need to sell is one of

the questions on TikTok.

I think in the offseason, you do.

I'm not saying it's a fire sale, but

I do think you need to sell some

players in the offseason that are not helping

you in enough ways and are not giving

you elite production in the ways that they

can help.

And I've already talked about a few of

those players.

I do think that there are some things

that clearly are being left on the table.

This team leaves a lot of meat on

the bone offensively.

I do think, though, you need a bit

of a reboot in the offseason.

I'd like to see the Rangers move on

from a few different players and try and

get a little bit more versatile, a little

more athletic.

Keep going.

Tristan, absolutely.

It was fun seeing some of the college

football today.

I've got to be honest, I didn't care

a whole lot about the TCU game.

I'm not a TCU fan.

I do keep my eye on TCU, but

I wasn't super interested in TCU, UNC.

That's just me.

I know it's like the first big college

football game.

Meh.

I don't know.

Look, I am excited, though, for the real

kickoff to happen next week.

That's going to be a lot of fun.

It really will be.

But I can't say today's slate fired me

up a whole lot, but yes, football is

back, and that is always a good thing.

That's always a good thing.

For me, I would love to see love

to see everything clicking on all cylinders in

the next couple of months and all the

sports I love, man.

Football, baseball, basketball is going to be firing

up next month.

Well, I guess I should say October.

It's almost September.

Would love for everything to be running in

October, though.

That's my favorite, favorite thing ever, man, when

playoff baseball, Rangers playoff baseball is happening.

You've got football, college, NFL, and you've got

basketball heating up.

That is where it's up, man.

Exactly.

The sports equinox.

The Rangers have been the team that keeps

on screwing it up over the last couple

of years, really over the last decade, minus

2023.

The Rangers got to stop screwing up the

sports equinox.

October is and should always be a phenomenal

month of sports, but the Rangers got to

hold up their end, man.

You got to make the playoffs.

Come on now.

I would love to see it happen.

Absolutely.

All right.

Couple of places to land this thing here.

Tonight, you know what it told me.

Texas, they can create traffic, and this Milwaukee

staff, you know, maybe the Miz excluded, maybe

Logan Henderson excluded.

I think you had a guy in Drohan

tonight, and even in Dusty, Dustin May tomorrow,

that you can hit, you can get offense

generated against these guys, but the question is

whether or not they can cash it in.

And tonight, you know, they do the late

damage thing again, and it's just not enough.

They've got to get going sooner.

When they do get going early, it's a

much different game.

That's the case for a lot of teams,

but for me, you just did not cash

in enough tonight.

Still unsure about the offense's ability long term,

and in October specifically, to rise above, even

if they get Josh Young back.

There's just a lot of question marks still

aren't there.

And, you know, the next thing that I'm

watching as the series concludes here, I am

going to be watching closely Kumar Rocker, what

he does tomorrow against a pesky team that

I think in a lot of ways on

paper is a bad matchup for him.

If Kumar Rocker can really shine tomorrow, I

think we got to be giving him a

ton of credit and respect.

If he can give you a quality start

tomorrow against this Brewers team, I think that

is huge for him.

So that's the biggest thing I'm really looking

out for tomorrow.

Of course, I want to see the offense

get going, but if Kumar Rocker can give

you six innings, three earned runs or less against

one of the best teams in baseball, that

is a big step and not something to

be taken lightly.

By the way, tomorrow we have a, let's

see, 110 Texas time start.

110 Texas time start for all you guys.

We'll be live in the eighth or ninth

inning once again.

Hopefully talking about a Rangers win, man.

Hopefully.

Be nice to get at least one more

win this week after Monday night.

Sheesh.

Texas, after they close out tomorrow's game, we'll

head back home for a series with the

A's, where hypothetically, theoretically, they should be able

to get a few wins.

We'll knock on wood.

All right, y'all.

Have a great rest of your Saturday night.

I appreciate all you guys hanging out.

Not the result we wanted, but it's always

good hanging, talking Rangers baseball, little group therapy

session tonight, as we like to call it,

every night after a loss.

It's good to have a place to hang

out, vent it out a little bit, express

some frustrations, and try and continue to keep

the faith that this team figures out a

way.

Make a little run.

You still have everything in front of you

here with 26 games left and just a

two-game deficit.

I know it's three with the tiebreaker, but

they've got a shot.

Not giving up on them until they are

totally eliminated, and even then, we'll keep watching,

give you the outlook for the next season,

for the offseason, but we're here till the

bitter end.

No fair weather at Right on Rangers here.

Win or lose, rain or shine, we'll be

here to talk ball.

Hope you join us tomorrow.

Have a great rest of your night.

If I don't see you, have a good

rest of the weekend.
