HR Jung

He has picked up right where he left off last September for Round Rock.

3 run shot to give them the lead!
Jung is looking good

Kyle Cody logged another shut out inning tonight.

What good will signing Calhoun possibly help the rebuild?

I was not serious about the signing of Kole but then again with this FO you just never know

 

[Bmurph]

i don't think the Rangers will be that quick on Jung.

They may not have a choice if he forces his way up,,,,,then we will see him soon

I still hope they sign Perez. Last night he wasn't hitting his spots after the first 3, but he had spots. He had a plan of attack. He wasn't throwing shit against a wall to see what sticks.

He's fine. Sometimes strange things happen. Pitching is a science and the slightest thing can make a big difference. He will figure it out.

Had been absolutely cruising

and then the Homeplate ump stopped calling the edges forcing Martin to put the pitches more over the plate and even then, the ump nitpicked. the Astros had been crying for 3 innings about location

If they are right then why didn't someone in the organization notice the same thing and do something about it? I really wonder if we have the right coaches in place in AA and AAA.

From Jeff Wilson:

Josh Jung is only a level away from the major leagues.

He might also be only a few weeks away.

The third baseman, arguably the Rangers’ top prospect, was transferred Tuesday to Triple A Round Rock to continue his rehab assignment from offseason shoulder surgery, and promptly swatted a three-run homer at Oklahoma City.

That makes four home runs in nine games after Jung hit three in eight games/25 at-bats in the Arizona Complex League.

The Pacific Coast League will be step up in class. Round Rock opened a week-long series Tuesday night against the Dodgers’ Triple A affiliate, and hard-throwing right-hander Dustin May was the starter on a rehab assignment.

Jung can spend 30 days on rehab before the Rangers have to make a move. They could simply assign him to Round Rock or they could add him to the 40-man roster and promote him for his MLB debut.

The 30th day arrives Aug. 26, five days before active rosters can expand by three. That’s just more than two weeks away.

Love the defensive alignment and how the cutoff is worked
Baseball fundamentals to perfection

At least pitching coaches

If it was one or 2 guys maybe I say it's on the player but when it is almost all of the system, I would say there is an issue/issues

 

[Kelleyman]

Diaz says he likes it and does well because everyone know there role

We have they for quite a few but for some snd especially pitching the role is uncertain
