Good morning.
Shawn McFarland writes that the Texas Rangers pulled off their first sweep in a month and moved back to .500 with a win on Sunday.
Kennedi Landry writes that Kumar Rocker used pickle juice as his secret weapon during a successful outing in his return to the big leagues.
McFarland checks out what we’ve learned about the Rangers recently, including the bullpen carrying the load for a suddenly infirmed rotation.
Jeff Wilson notes that the rotation is missing a couple of its best arms which has required the Rangers to juggle things.
McFarland writes that in a perfect world where the rotation were healthy, the Rangers probably would have preferred letting Rocker continue refining himself in Round Rock.
Zach Crizer writes that the Rangers need better than a daily coin flip to get back into contention.
Buster Olney writes that Chris Young is among the executives most pressured to do well at navigating the trade deadline.
And, fresh from Father’s Day, Landy’s newsletter tackles Jake Burger’s affinity for being a father.
Have a nice day!
