Series Thread: Rangers Host the Angels For Four Games September 5-8

[saddles]

From Tepid:

Best Rangers pitching prospect I’ve ever seen. Maybe the best overall prospect. Here’s Kumar Rocker’s first 3 hitters tonight. 9 pitches, 7 strikes, 2Ks. Absolute beast. Get as excited as you want to ‘bout this dude.

Rocker gave up a run in the 2nd. Las Vegas scores a lot at home. Six of their hitters in their lineup tonight have an OPS over .800.

 

[saddles]

Rocker has given up 2 hits and 2 run through 4. He has struck out 7 and walked 1.

Last night Ryan Garcia had a no hitter through 4 and gave up 3 runs the next inning.

From Evan:

Alejandro Rosario was scratched from his Double-A debut tonight at Frisco. Had some fatigue from traveling. No arm issues.

From Scott Lucas:

Sebastian Walcott's 38 combined 2B and 3B are 7th-most in all of full-season MiLB. His 84 total bases on 2B+3B are 6th-most. His .110 ISO on 2B+3B is 3rd-most. And he's hit 10 homers. And he's 18.

 

[saddles]

Rocker gives up a solo HR in the 5th and gets his 8th strikeout.

Burke on a revenge tour

Looks good as did the Halo starter.

Road to 500:took a snag.
Foscue had rough ABs this evening

The outing by Church is big.

Most young guys have a lot of those early on. He will probably have a lot more before he gets better.

Did the board take a night off. Quite in here but not much to rave about.

my brother convinced me to go to the game with him, we lasted until the 6th and even he gave up and we left

The outing by Church is big.

Rocker will be next year's Wyatt Langford. He will make the team out of Spring Training because he will be too good to deny.

 

[armadillooutlaw]

I'm hopeful that next year we will be back to being a legitimate contender between the development of Bradford, Rocker and Leiter, and Lord willing having a healthy core of Seager, Langford, Carter, Jung, Smith, offensively.
In free agency give me 3-4 quality bullpen pieces and Vladdy Jr.

Definitely need to find some offensive players.

It took Langford awhile to get going. As well as Foscue hit in AAA, I believe he will hit with the Rangers.

I think he will if they give him a chance.

Rangers offense making another pitcher look good

Leiter's night started poorly - HR then HBP. Since then, he's been dynamite.
5Ks through 3 innings. Needs to limit the damage the next two innings to hopefully finish with a really good outing.
He needs more consistency, but overall looks the part of a big league starter.

He needs to cut down on giving up early runs.
