Tanner Scheppers was good tonight; Brandon Webb was not

PrintTanner Scheppers returned to the mound tonight for Frisco, and I'm hard-pressed to think how his outing could have gone any better. 6 batters faced, 30 pitches, 22 strikes, 4 Ks, 0 hits, 0 walks, 0 runs.
Brandon Webb, on the other hand, was terrible. 36 pitches, 22 for strikes, but he allowed 4 runs on 6 hits and didn't make it out of the first inning, recording just two outs before he was yanked.
Scheppers isn't on the immediate call-up horizon -- having barely pitched this season because of injuries, he's going to have to have several more quality outings before he's a realistic option out of the major league bullpen. Nevertheless, if he can stay healthy, the Rangers almost certainly will give him a shot at a middle relief or setup role at some point in the second half.
As for Webb, it is more of the same. I said I was not going to talk about him anymore, but the surface numbers, anyway, from this outing were so bad they warranted a mention. He can only be out on a rehab assignment for 30 days, and it still looks like he's much farther away than that from being able to contribute in the majors.

Everyone place their predictions on when Scheppers will be called up...
I’m going with 7/14

7/22
So he can appear in a couple of games before the trade deadline to let JD know exactly how much ninja magic he needs to use to help the bullpen.

Re: Webb
So, once 30 days expire what are the options?

I think the window for Webb is about to slam shut.
With Feldman, Hunter, O’Day and Scheppers getting healthy, the Rangers really don’t need him. I wouldn’t be surprised if the FO just goes ahead and pulls the plug on him.

I doubt they'll do that yet.
I’m pretty sure that’s what they’ll end up doing.

Well
They could shut him down for at least 7 days and then he can re-start another rehab assignment. I believe they have already done that once with him.
I don’t know exactly what the rules are regarding that shut down, if it means no baseball activity or what, but coming off a injury like his there shouldn’t be too much questioning the Rangers if they do something like that.
David Robertson is rather filthy.

What is it gonna cost us to just get rid of Webb?

Im really surprised we haven't done with him what we did with Borbon
Which is go ahead and option him to AAA even though he still has time left on his rehab stint
My cousin took her husband to that Cleveland-Pittsburgh game two days ago that Valerie was at.
It was her husband’s birthday and my cousin managed to get a picture of him with Valerie, which she posted on her Facebook page yesterday. He was very thrilled.

Happless
J.A.Happ has the lowest ground ball rate in MLB among qualifying starters. Maybe the Rangers can tee it up on a windy night.

Corpus paper:
Webb faced nine batters, giving up four runs on six hits. None of the balls were hit particularly hard, but found open spots.
“I actually felt good,” Webb said. "Obviously, I need results, too. This is not what I was looking for. I was just (thinking), ‘Just have one of these go to somebody and let it be an easy out.’ "
Hey Brandon
What is your excuse for the poor velocity?

When all you can do is lob it up there and hope and pray it turns into an out, you're kind of fucked
I’m not a psychopath. I’m a high functioning sociopath. Do your research.
It's the Dave Bush method.
And Tommy Hunter.
And they both laugh at Webb’s velo.

Probably about time to cut our losses on Webb.
He’s clearly done.
