Saturday morning Rangers things

Good morning, folks...

The Texas Rangers lost to the Oakland A’s last night by a score of 8-6.

Jeff Wilson has his Rangers Reaction from last night’s loss.

Levi Weaver asks if we should be worrying about the bullpen.

Jurickson Profar called Adrian Beltre to wish him a happy birthday on Sunday, and Beltre gave Profar some advice that has led to a recent hot streak.

Profar returned yesterday to play at Globe Life Park for the first time as a Ranger opponent.

Jeff Wilson writes that Isiah Kiner-Falefa has made strides in his work behind the plate.

Jose Leclerc will continue to be the Rangers closer despite his recent struggles, according to Chris Woodward.

Gerry Fraley writes about productive outs and of course has to mention that Joey Gallo hasn’t hit a sacrifice fly in his career.

The Rangers are hopeful Edinson Volquez will be able to return to the rotation this year.

The Rangers website has notes on Volquez, Mark Teixeira, the Arizona turf, and Kyle Bird.
