Mitch Bratt pitched 5 Innings tonight for Frisco allowing 0 runs and adding 4 SO. His ERA is now sitting at a stingy 1.94

Tired of hearing Dave Raymond trying to justify our losses.

He drives me nuts as he just says things that have no substance to them.

Can we please have Bratt, Drake and Davalillo all stay healthy the rest of this year and next, at least. They could all be in our top 5 prospects by the end of this year.

Walcott was a triple shy of the cycle, tonight.

 

[DTLUNA]

Walcott was a triple shy of the cycle, tonight.

Bring him on.

 

[saddles]

Bring him on.

I am just hoping that he comes along and plays so wonderfully over the last few months of the season that he let's them consider him for next year. He still has some maturing to do, but I sure hope this is his last season in the minors. I mean, it can't be considered a disappointment if he needs some time in the minors next season, but I am sure hoping he doesn't.

It is Osuna who is being brought up.

From Jeff Passan:

The Texas Rangers are calling up outfielder Alejandro Osuna, sources tell me and @kileymcd. The 22-year-old started the year at Double-A and impressed enough in eight Triple-A games to get the call to the big leagues and try to help a Rangers offense that is 27th in runs scored.

 

[saddles]

It still bugs me that the national guys almost always break the story before our local guys.

 

[saddles]

Osuna should start most games. Bochy better not pull another Bochy.

Yes I am keeping my fingers crossed for our future Rangers. Bratt is on a roll as well as Davalillo.
I didn't realize Drake is 6.5.

 

[fanman8825]

It is Osuna who is being brought up.

That's awesome. I didn't think it was going to be him. Really excited for him to do well. Still believe Crim deserves another shot. He was only here for a cup of coffee.

 

[saddles]

Congratulations, Alejandro Osuna!!! You deserve a shot. I am hoping for a successful big league career.

 

[Bmurph]

Hoping Osuna does well, would love to see him be successful at the MLB level

 

[Bmurph]

Almost want to see the team struggles continue, so that the only option is to replace the terrible FO and the coaching staff as well as the players who have been so terrible. This team needs a complete overhaul. and it needs to happen immediately

 

[Kelleyman]

It still bugs me that the national guys almost always break the story before our local guys.

Makes me think there is money changing hands for information

 

[scotsman#1948]

Yeah, they don't need Pillar any more, even without Osuna. Haggerty makes Pillar obsolete.

i believe the Rangers intend to put Pederson immediately on the 60-day IL which means, at the movement, no one get DFA'ed. having that extra OF'er makes sense for a while

 

[scotsman#1948]

He drives me nuts as he just says things that have no substance to them.

probably has someone standing behind him ensuring he doesn't say anything negative.

 

[scotsman#1948]

Congratulations, Alejandro Osuna!!! You deserve a shot. I am hoping for a successful big league career.

this move may have a dual purpose in (1) replacing Pederson, who should go on the 60-day IL and (2) maybe they are considering putting Garcia on outright waivers

 

[saddles]

If Pillar is DFAed, they could also bring up someone else in the 40-man. Maybe Harris or Crim.
