SAN DIEGO – Chris Young and his front office came to San Diego intent on remaking the Rangers pitching staff and did just that. Over 24 frenzied hours, the...
solve all their issues. Except the offense has taken a hit with Seager and Heim out and a bunch of their younger hitters being somewhat exposed as younger hitters. The quartet of Josh Jung, Leody Taveras, Ezequiel Duran and Sam Huff combined for seven strikeouts Sunday, hit .195 on the road trip and struck out 28 times in 82 at-bats.
Young seemed to indicate the lineup is not a concern for him. He focused on what he knows best: Pitching. Rookie starter Cody Bradford, filling in for Nathan Eovaldi, didn’t get through the fourth inning, putting pressure on the bullpen. It’s a volatile mix. “I like where we are right now,” he said after the game. “I think that by improving our starting pitching, we’re going to make our bullpen better. I think today is a perfect example of just relying on too many [guys] from the bullpen early in the game. And really the last month we’ve been doing that too often. So now can we back those guys up, put them in the right roles and I think it’s going to make the bullpen better.
