Danny Jansen

Shamanaya would make the start as the Rangers would respond in the home third.

Runner at second, two out, Josh Jung would slash an RBI double down the right field line, plating Danny Jansen, tying the game at four.

Rode fourth, the Mets would be given a run to take the lead.

Runner at second, two out, Francisco Alvarez would send a fly ball to right center.

Elias Diaz would plate Brandon Nimmo on a sacrifice fly to left field.

tying the game at two.

Bases would be reloaded after Minaya would hit the nine-hitter Danny Jansen, and Wyatt Lankford would give the Rangers the lead with a sacrifice fly to left field, scoring Ezekiel Duran.

Fast forward to the road six.

It wasn't in the air, and you would have been better off having a three hopper, right? He had no chance of really catching it.

Who was catching? Was it that Jansen?

Diaz.

Diaz was catching? Yeah.

Yeah, that's what the most priority has been.

But I don't really like seeing Zeke down in that 7th, 8th hole.

I mean, granted, we have to have some production down there because we're not going to get a whole lot out of Jansen when he's starting.

We'll get something maybe out of Diaz, but there's no guarantee there.

It does feel daunting to think about how this team is playing right now at home and then going to a road series.

Danny Jansen, by the way, going to field a little swing and bunt here.

Two down.

Montgomery in the game once again.

Look, playing the...

Playing the defense that they've been playing, I did say something similar.

I think it was after the Cody Bradford, you know, like Danny Jansen miscommunication.

You're like, what are we doing here, man? What are we doing with this defense? Jake Berger had an error.

Another extra run scores on the 2RBI double.

later on because the Rangers could not turn a double play Josh Young makes it a tough turn gets the first out at third base on Marcus Simeon and then just a bad throw where he looked like he planted his feet but just cannot get the throw to first base good job on Jake Berger for getting off the base and saving it from going into the dugout but it didn't end up mattering because the Rangers still end up giving up two runs later on it would have been just one run on that RBI double And then the final run of that inning, a sack fly in foul territory where Jake Berger lets a catcher score in foul territory when the first baseman catches the foul ball.

He catches it.

There's one out.

The Rangers are down to one challenge at this point, because, again, we'll talk about the offense right after this, because it was awful.

But he gets that third strike.

Should have been challenged by his catcher, but he is frustrated with his catcher, Danny Jansen, who knows that that is strike three and says, I don't know if I can use this last challenge here.

And Mackenzie Gore... challenges of pitch the rangers pitchers have been pretty it's been pretty obvious the rangers pitchers have been told you are not allowed to challenge you are not allowed to challenge even though pitchers are legally allowed to challenge it has been an unwritten rule maybe it's even been written down pitchers you are not allowed to challenge pitch but with the passivity of this rangers catching staff when it comes to challenges even on pretty obvious ones and this was pretty obvious he got a generous called first strike that was out of the zone but this one completely Pretty much completely in the zone.

Yeah.

And Danny Jansen's been Danny Jansen.

yeah

yeah he's been fine yeah um but you if you plug foscue and and well i guess i don't know if you can does he play the is he playing the field i don't know where but if you plug him in at second or whatever for nikki lopez

have ample experience against he's been good against him he's been bad against him he can be overpowering and he can be a little wild it was the latter just wild enough and the blue jays defense made another costly mistake uh josh young started the scoring with the home run in the first then the rangers got two in the second and this is how they did it lead off walk A one-out hit by pitch, then an error.

Jimenez made a real nice diving play in the hole on a Danny Jansen grounder.

Could have been a pretty special double play, but he threw the ball in the right field, got it past Josh Smith.

It was wide.

But they walked Nicky Lopez intentionally for the first time in his career.

All right, so your bases are loaded.

Danny Jansen's up.

They're very familiar with Danny Jansen.
