Texas Rangers 2023 - They're Still Shitty?

Another day, another positive step for Jonah Heim.

Less than two weeks after he suffered a torn tendon sheath in his left wrist, Heim took batting practice for the first time on Tuesday. Heim took about 15-20 swings off pitching from hitting instructor Tim Hyers without issue and also caught a bullpen session. Manager Bruce Bochy said Heim could face “live” pitching as early as Monday and potentially return to the Rangers lineup sometime during the six-game homestand next week.

“It’s a 10 out of 10,” Heim said Tuesday. “It was good to go today. Just getting over the mental aspect of being able to do it was huge.”

The tentative plan is for Heim, a switch-hitter, to swing only from the left-hand side for the time being. The left wrist is non-dominant when swinging from the left side. It is more heavily involved on right-handed swings.

In Heim’s absence, the Rangers have found Mitch Garver to be both more durable and productive than perhaps was expected. Garver, who had three hits on Monday, started behind the plate for the third consecutive game Tuesday. It’s the first time he’s started three consecutive games behind the plate since May 2021 while he was with Minnesota.

Tuesday also marked Garver’s fifth start in the last six games. In six August games, Garver was hitting .455 (10 for 22) with two homers, two doubles and six RBIs.

Huff at DH, if I were on the A's I would take that as an insult.

 

Hopefully Robbie doesn’t get fucking turf monstered again. 

Max has a Peter Stormare thing going on. A little Bo Pelini. Let’s go with Karl Hungus. image.jpeg.fdfb839890f8bf2646e81616f908d004.jpeg

Same lefty lineup. 

 

The other options are lefty Jank or little Josh, horrific Hedges, kid Ornelas. 

I’ve seen enough Huff. Gimme the kid.
