Rangers at Astros, April 12, 2024

Peña with an infield single off the pitcher, Diaz to 3B

If you want exhibit A as to why the automatic strike zone needs to happen, Angel Hernandez is all you need to know.

Dubon with a single to plate Diaz

I will fault him for his love affair with Jon Singleton and not having a good insurance policy behind Jose Abreu. Brandon Belt is a clear free agent upgrade. So is Donovan Solano. Joey Loperfido is a better internal option.

Jake with an RBI knock

What the literal fuck was that Dubon?

End of four…8-3 Rangers

Dubon with some A+ baserunning there.

At this point, Babe Ruth would be an upgrade to Singleton, and he’s been dead for 76 years.

My hope with Singleton is that they are giving him one last shot and his release is imminent. Of course, he’s an easy target and far from the real problem with this team right now.

Last shot at what? He played his way out of baseball 9 years ago.

Fuck if I know, but he’s getting one.

He’s far from the only problem, but let’s not act like he’s not a big one. With Abreu being terrible, he’s playing far more than he should, and, even worse, Espada is slotting him into run producing positions in the order.

There was no excuse to bat him ahead of Peña, Dubon and Meyers tonight.

Blue Star play by Tucker to end the inning.

Halfway…8-3 Rangers

There’s no excuse for him to be in the organization.

Agreed.

I say it again, I think his release is imminent. They aren’t blind. Hitting 5th is pretty fucked up for sure.
