Happy Father's Day everyone. It is always my privilege to repost this story, the one I'm proudest of in my career, about taking my dad to his last baseball game. It was a special memory: dallasnews.com/sports/rangers…

About the Rangers pitching situation: Kumar Rocker starts today, Tyler Mahle likely headed to IL & how the bullpen workload of the last few days could impact things: dallasnews.com/sports/rangers…

A part of last two pitching staffs heads to Korea dallasnews.com/sports/rangers…

To all those who want to be dads, but aren’t yet, to those who had to act like dads, to the step dads, to the mentors, bless all of you even if Hallmark doesn’t make a card, you do it all out of love & because you want to. You are a special breed

From Shawn McFarland on Kumar Rocker. As Shawn points out, pitch variety was huge factor. Rocker threw 11 pitches that averaged 78, 11 at 90, 36 at 96. Best diversification of speeds he's had. dallasnews.com/sports/rangers…

David Davalillo, double D as I like to call him, is going to Double-A. This pitcher is worth watching.

In the first All-Star voting update, the Rangers have 2 players at top 10 vote getters at their positions (top 20 among OFs): SS: Corey Seager is 10th DH: Joc Pederson is 9th

Josh Smith is the AL Player of the Week. You know things are going good for an offense when a guy wins the award & didn't even lead his team in any offensive category that week. dallasnews.com/sports/rangers…

Rangers column: How do they solve the deGrom Sequence before it turns from a riddle into a potential problem? dallasnews.com/sports/rangers…

Evan Carter leads off; Josh Smith, Josh Jung are off

I do find it curious that the Player of the Week is off today.

Josh Smith has a minor hamstring issue that will not require an IL, per Bruce Bochy. But he could be off a day or two more

On Josh Smith's absence dallasnews.com/sports/rangers…

The Rangers trail 1-0 in top of first because of course Bobby Witt doubled.

Salvador Perez went to town. It's 3-0.

Alejandro Osuna is now 0 for 16 in June & it may be getting time for Rangers to send him out to play regularly and add another hitter in a bench role. Dustin Harris? Justin Foscue as a RH DH option? Just thinking out loud.

Mahle gonna be hard to move if on IL, which makes his injury all the more of a sticky wicket. But at moment, selling not a focus anyway.

Langford was on field today early working on a one-handed swing drill with a bat in between his feet on the ground. Never got a chance to get anybody to explain it, but I think purpose was to "quiet" swing down a bit

Langford was, by the way, called out on balls for the 4th time this season to end the third inning.

Salvador Perez has 6 total bases in two at-bats.
