Series Thread: The Road-Struggling Rangers go to Seattle to face Mariners April 25-28

[Kelleyman]

The bullpen will fried by the allstar break, if not before.

Maybe they let Hearn do long relief in a couple of days

Hopefully a learning experience for Hearn

Thank you. I just took it for granted the Stars were on there. But watched Hearns. It is possible some of his control problems was this being a big moment and you can be so amped up you just are all over the place.

 

[Kelleyman]

Hopefully a learning experience for Hearn

Sure he is a guy without great command yet but wonder if he was a bit tentative/not trusting his stuff

I was at that Wilson Alvarez game.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

I noticed Hearn had 10 walks in 20 innings at AAA.

 

[saddles]

Not exactly ready for prime time.

Go back down and get ready young man. You will be fine.

 

[Kelleyman]

Bet Santana is our 3B after Cabrera limps off

You have to hope, take this and go back to AAA, works with the coaching staff and hopefully finds some specific things to work on

 

[Kelleyman]

An outing like that can get you down in the dumps or it can drive you to be better

 

[Kelleyman]

Yes I thought this was one of the reasons Mathis was signed. To help usher in our new young pitchers

 

[Kelleyman]

Re Cabrera I worry about hamstrings at his age. Nit sur I would add him more than a year if that

 

[PhantomWarrior]

Please tell me this Hearn fella is not a future hopeful.

From Wikipedia:

Alvarez provided one of the highlights of the 1991 Chicago White Sox season on August 11, pitching a no-hitter against the Baltimore Orioles at Memorial Stadium in only his second Major League start. It was quite a contrast to his only previous appearance, when he faced five batters for the Rangers and gave up two walks, a single and two home runs without retiring a batter, giving him a career ERA, prior to his no-hit gem, of infinity.

 

[saddles]

Maybe Hearn's next appearance will be a no hitter too. Lol

I always looked at him being signed in order to help IKF. I didn't think they expected many starts from our top pitching prospects this season.

Not attempting to be negative here, but when was our last good rookie first start?

Believe it or not but I’m thinking it was Tepesch going back to what? 2013?
