00:00We have Rangers General Manager Chris Young with us here on the DNM leasing hotline.
00:19CY, thanks so much for the time, as always.
00:21Tough road trip there, but ends on a high note last night.
00:25What are your takeaways from the last two series?
00:29Well, certainly it was a tough road trip.
00:31Very disappointed to come home 1-6 on the trip.
00:35I did feel like we were in the majority of the games.
00:38With a couple of breaks here and there, really could have come away from that trip 4-3.
00:43Instead, we come away with a 1-6 trip.
00:46It was disappointing for everybody.
00:49That said, we did finish on a high note.
00:51What I'd like to see is we have an off day today.
00:53Hopefully we can regroup and come out and really start playing our best baseball, this homestand.
00:59Because we're at a point in the season where we have to see it start to happen.
01:02Speaking of the high note, it was pretty amazing what Wyatt Langford did with that cycle.
01:06How special was that?
01:07Really, that entire month of June for him was incredible.
01:10Yeah, Wyatt, it really speaks to the aptitude the player has and just all the adjustments he's made.
01:18He had a tremendous spring training, got off to a little bit of a slow start, had the hamstring injury.
01:22Was able to take a breather and reset some things, both mentally and mechanically and physically as well.
01:29He came back and just had a tremendous June.
01:32He continues to get better and better.
01:34I really believe he's just scratching the surface of what he's capable of.
01:37Last night on Sunday Night Baseball was pretty special.
01:40I was so happy for him, happy for all of our guys.
01:42It was fun to see the guys celebrate Wyatt, excited for him.
01:46I think everybody recognized how special that was.
01:48Hopefully, it's something that we can build on.
01:50Doley certainly had a stronger road trip as well.
01:53Does it seem like he's starting to turn things around at the play?
01:56Yeah, there's no doubt.
01:57There's no doubt the bat quality has improved and we've seen him mechanically fix a couple things.
02:02His approach has been very, very good.
02:04He had some bad luck as well.
02:05There were some hard hit balls right at guys on the trip, but he had really, really solid at bats.
02:10It was exciting to see the progress he's made.
02:13He's such a competitor.
02:15He's such a worker.
02:17If we can get Doley going and we have Wyatt going and you get a couple of these other guys going,
02:22I love our offense.
02:23I love what we're capable of.
02:24But obviously, it's been a slow start to the season, a slow first half of the season.
02:28So, really excited about the progress Adolis made and I'm really hopeful.
