Texas Rangers June 2022 Recap: The Batting Order Conundrum and More.
As we approach the midpoint of the season and slowly creep up on the All-Star break, the Texas Rangers are frustratingly close to .500, sitting at 36-38 after dropping the final game of a three-game series against the Kansas City Royals which would have put them at .500 .
Notice a pattern? The Rangers only won three games in a row once in June: the last two games against the White Sox into the first game against the Astros on June 13. Given the extraordinarily middling seasons by the Tigers, Nationals, and Royals, the fact that the Rangers could not sweep those three teams and even lost two games against the Tigers and Royals is some cause for worry in Arlington.
Jonah Heim continues his status of one of baseball’s best offensive and defensive catchers, hitting .236 in the month of June with four home runs, bringing his season total to 10, making him the tied AL leader in home runs by a catcher , not to mention his stellar pitch-framing skills consistently at the top of all MLB leaderboards. However, given the offensive and defensive strengths of Kirk and Yankee Jose Trevino, the race for All-Star starting catcher is bound to be a close one.
Why would the person who has hit seven home runs not be given the cleanup spot? Why not put Heim or Semien in that spot as of late? Manager Chris Woodward recently said that he wanted to have two right-handed batters on either side of lefty Calhoun, but swapping him with the lefty Lowe or the switch-hitting Heim seems like a more prudent move.
