Some Rangers talk

Any recommendations of things to see, eat, or do while in the ballpark besides the obvious of watching the game?

I think there is a Casting Crowns concert before the game on the North Lawn. May check that out.

Anything else?

When does he get the call up? Playing pretty well in AAA and we can move Josh to RF

…on this weeks Prospect Hot Sheet

Team: low Class A Hickory (South Atlantic)
Age: 18
Why He’s Here: 0-0, 0.00, 4 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 9 Ks
The Scoop: Pitching four shutout innings doesn’t normally qualify a pitcher for the Hot Sheet, but Perez has been sensational on a tight pitch count all year. With a plus fastball and a plus curveball, Perez now has a 2.43 ERA with a 50-14 K-BB mark in 40 2/3 innings, while 65 percent of his outs on balls in play have come on the ground. His arm is loose and his delivery is clean and repeatable, but because of Perez’s youth the Rangers have yet to let him go more than 5 1/3 innings in any of his nine appearances. But even at 18, he already looks like he’s too advanced for low Class A.

Anyone know if Harrison was scheduled to throw a bullpen today? Also, by what time do the Rangers have to make a roster move to get Hunter on the roster by 4:05?

It has nothing to do with Fangraph’s cute little projection system that says he’ll finish with 195. If he doesn’t cut that K rate, he’ll be spending July and August in AAA.

at our minor leaguers to see if pitch counts are actually up, or if this is one of those media stories that is really a bunch of hot air about nothing?

of the middle ground you’re referring to. And this is a completely baseless statement: “It’s also pretty clear that most pitchers not named Nolan Ryan suffered from too much work in the past.”
