Good morning.<\/p>\n

Shawn McFarland writes<\/a> that the Texas Rangers<\/a> pulled off their first sweep in a month and moved back to .500 with a win on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Kennedi Landry writes that Kumar Rocker used pickle juice as his secret weapon<\/a> during a successful outing in his return to the big leagues.<\/p>\n

McFarland checks out what we\u2019ve learned<\/a> about the Rangers recently, including the bullpen carrying the load for a suddenly infirmed rotation.<\/p>\n

Jeff Wilson notes<\/a> that the rotation is missing a couple of its best arms which has required the Rangers to juggle things.<\/p>\n

McFarland writes<\/a> that in a perfect world where the rotation were healthy, the Rangers probably would have preferred letting Rocker continue refining himself in Round Rock.<\/p>\n

Zach Crizer writes that the Rangers need better<\/a> than a daily coin flip to get back into contention.<\/p>\n

Buster Olney writes that Chris Young is among the executives most pressured<\/a> to do well at navigating the trade deadline.<\/p>\n

And, fresh from Father\u2019s Day, Landy\u2019s newsletter<\/a> tackles Jake Burger\u2019s affinity for being a father.<\/p>\n

Have a nice day!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Good morning.
