US Open
Yes, there is baseball on this weekend, that is at night.
During the DAY... on Saturday AND Sunday... rearrange your plans to watch the US Open. If you're getting your Dad a gift, maybe you plan dinner on Saturday night? Let the man watch golf on Sunday. Just a thought! That's what I would want on that day. Ha!
Phil Mickelson had to drop out of the US Open, his daughter is graduating from High School and he went to hear her commencement speech. He's going for the Father of the Year award.
This is the first Major Tournament played without Tiger or Mickelson since the 1994 Masters.
Rickie Fowler is currently leading the pack. Did any of you watch him today? He was locked in. Every shot was a great shot. He looked calm and confident! I loved it! Everyone else who was favored has to get on the ball Friday if they want to catch Fowler. Spieth finished +1 and Dustin Johnson (DJ) finished +3 over par today.

10th in the AL (American League)
3rd in the AL West (12 games behind the Houston Astros)
Watching the Rangers this past week was far better than watching the NBA Finals! It was more exciting, my team was winning, and it had nothing to do with Lebron or KD.
We won 5 out of 6 games on the road. We swept the Washington Nationals, currently 4th place in the NL, and won two out of three games vs. our rival Houston Astros. They are still in first place in the AL. The closest team is the New York Yankees, only 5 games back.
One name you need to know after this road game series...
Austin Bibens-Dirkx... he's a 32 year old rookie, worked his whole life to play in the majors, gets called up, and wins the first two starts he has for the Rangers.
His performance in Washington on Sunday was clutch. He started off allowing a 386 foot home run to Goodwin... then he locked it in. He pitched 94 pitches through 7 innings, 59 were strikes and two strikeouts, and held an ERA of 3.28. He may not be the next Clayton Kershaw, but he's good enough to be in the majors!! Especially on our team where we need starting pitching! Read more here about his story. The movie The Rookie was made for this guy!
Oh, and he faced Max Scherzer... dude has 7 wins, 4 losses, a 2.36 ERA, and 124 strikeouts. But none of that mattered Sunday night. Bibens-Dirkx and the Rangers got the W.
This season, the Rangers have played 12 games vs. National League Teams, we've won 10 of those 12 games.
What are the differences between the American League (the one the Rangers are in) and the National League?
In the American League, they use a Designated Hitter (DH) instead of having the Pitcher bat. In the National League, the Pitcher bats and they do NOT have the DH position.
What happens when the Rangers played in the Nationals ballpark? Our pitchers batted in the line up in stead of the DH. When a National League team visits Arlington, they use a DH instead of their pitcher batting. Good times. Looks like we win more when our pitchers bat!
We don't play another NL team until July 24th, vs. Miami. Post All-Star break. And we only play 8 NL teams in the second half. We're going to need a lot more than 8 potential wins to catch up to the Astros and Yankees. "Clear the mechanism."
Speaking of... the MLB All-Star weekend is Sunday, July 9 - Tuesday July 11. The Home Run Derby is on July 10th. I secretly hope Joey Gallo enters!! Watch, this never gets old... Josh Hamilton at the Home Run Derby. 28 home runs!!! I miss our old team... (observe a moment of silence).
Who is coming off the DL and IR (Disabled List and Injured Reserve)??
Mike Napoli started rehab Thursday night in Frisco. He's been dealing with a back soreness and we hope to see him in Arlington by this weekend. However, this poses a lot of questions for Rua, Profar, Gallo, Hoying and DeShields. Carlos Gomez is also returning to the line-up. Jeff Banister has a lot of work to do for his 25 man roster!
Cole Hamels is pitching Friday night, June 16th, for the Frisco Rough Riders. He has been recovering from a strained right oblique. Hopefully his starts go well in Frisco, we should see him in Arlington by early July. Or after the All-Star break, that makes more sense to me.
GO TO A GAME!! Even though it's hot, they are still fun!
DO IT FOR DURRETT - If you don't have plans Friday night - come out to the Ballpark and participate in the Do It For Durrett Silent Auction!! They help raise money for families who have lost loved ones through tragedy.
We are supporting one of our family friends tomorrow night, and would love for everyone there to give back to this foundation and support all of the families they are able to help through the memory of Richard Durrett. Thank you!

Random Info:
Sunday is Father's Day!!
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO ALL OF THE FATHER'S OUT THERE! I hope you know how important your role is in your family structure... as your wife's teammate, and your children's #1 confidence builder. You set the tone for your family. I hope you are loved and encouraged to lead well.
I am thankful for my Dad. He is a loving man! He coached us girls when we were young, and is still trying to coach is as adults in life! He loves God, serves our family and his community! He loves helping people, and that may be my favorite thing about him! Life isn't about us, right Dad! :) Hug Someone!!
I also want to acknowledge that this day is hard for some. We lost my Uncle a couple of years ago, and I know the Durrett family misses their father, Richard. Our friend Lindsay misses her husband and amazing Father, Brandon Pugh. Life doesn't always make sense, but that is why we rally around one another and meet tangible needs where we can. You are not alone! God is with you and we are with you too! Joshua 1:9
