    gonna cross post this. But during the Rangers/Astros game my 5 year old daughter comes out and see an Astros player bating(It was Yainer Diaz, not Altuve). Her "Is that short fuck Altuve?"

3 hit night for Wyatt. Hopefully that's the spark he needs.

Astros lose

That's not really "news".

Thought for sure that Seager would get the day off due to that HBP last night.  At least he's just DHing.

That should be our everyday outfield moving forward. I really think there’s something to letting the kid (Langford) play the field and not just DH. Get him in the flow of the game.

I guess the swelling wasn't too bad, thankfully.

Hickory Crawdads pitcher Winston Santos was named the South Atlantic League Pitcher of the Week for the week just past. The righthander, who turned 22 last week, struck out 12 and walked two in five shutout innings while allowing just one hit.

Santos has gotten off to a terrific start to the 2024 season. In three starts for Hickory, he has thrown 15.2 innings, allowed just one run, allowed opponents a .161/.217/.161 slash line, and struck out 24 of 60 batters faced while walking just four.

This is a huge turnaround for Santos, who came into 2023 as one of the Rangers’ more well-regarded pitching prospects in the lower levels, having put up a 3.49 ERA in 108 innings over 22 appearances for Down East in 2022. He had a miserable 2023 campaign at Hickory, however, putting up a 6.29 ERA in 98 innings over 25 appearances. His walk rate was largely steady, but his K rate dropped and his home run rate skyrocketed.

Santos largely disappeared from the Rangers prospect lists this winter, but reports out of spring training indicated that he had added a significant amount of velocity on his fastball over the winter. Previously more of a “pitchability” guy than a flamethrower, Santos appears to have taken a big step forward.

 

Given that Santos is repeating high-A and is Rule 5 eligible this offseason, I would expect him to get moved up to AA Frisco in the next couple of months if he keeps this up. Continuing success there would vault Santos up in the Rangers’ pitching prospect hierarchy, and make him a potential top 10 prospect in the system by year’s end.

 

Hello my day drinking fellows

This umpire positive slogan shit is not going to help. 

nate has been such a breath of fresh air.

we are crushing his slider.  

guess what, another pitch off the plate called for a k for wyatt.

he got it back though.

we better get that outer corner also.

that last strike was 2 inches outside.

Remember...

Umpires are our neighborsPXL_20240425_191000842.thumb.jpg.8e49db59c822afc1070ed8d0bab5e7c3.jpg

if heaney could eliminate these bad early innings...

tailing changeup.  my favorite pitch.

the only person on these two lineups who wouldn't pummel that no movement fastball piped down the middle is wyatt langford.
