From TR:
Draft picks sign: The Rangers have signed nine more draft picks including outfielder Braxton Lane (seventh round), pitcher Braden Tullis (eighth round), pitcher Justin Jamison (13th round) and pitcher Keith Campbell (15th round). The Rangers have signed 14 of 51 draft picks.

I like that Jamison kid – glad to see him sign.

Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan was on the same pitching staff with Danny Darwin during the 1986 through 1988 seasons. Both were described by Milo Hamilton as "tall, tough Texans." It was a source of debate amongst Astros players and fans over who would win in a fight, Ryan or Darwin. Though Astros pitcher Bob Knepper attempted to set up a fight between the two during spring training in 1988, manager Hal Lanier stopped it before it could commence. Many experts, including Astros shortstop Rafael Ramirez, felt that Darwin would win because he "looked like someone no man would want to mess with."

Good lord, Davis.

That wasn’t even close. Pitch recognition Fail.

Way to not lurk and instead shit all over yourself during your first fanshot.

At what point...

do you think pitchers will start to feel bad and just underhand the ball to Davis?

Salty's now turning into Hank Blalock.

Well, from the standpoint that he's suddenly swinging at everything early in the count.

he hurt?

Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan was on the same pitching staff with Danny Darwin during the 1986 through 1988 seasons. Both were described by Milo Hamilton as "tall, tough Texans." It was a source of debate amongst Astros players and fans over who would win in a fight, Ryan or Darwin. Though Astros pitcher Bob Knepper attempted to set up a fight between the two during spring training in 1988, manager Hal Lanier stopped it before it could commence. Many experts, including Astros shortstop Rafael Ramirez, felt that Darwin would win because he "looked like someone no man would want to mess with."

No, he just can't hit.

Salty - has seen two pitches this evening

and swung at both of them.

On an evening when the offense is humming, the Black Hole checks in with an 0 for 5 walk, and 2 K’s

Can’t wait till we get to SFO over the weekend!!
