Last prospect I can recall doing that was Gallo. Not sure if it was his first career AB but I do remember him hitting a couple out in his first game.

The last Ranger to do it was Jurickson Profar in 2012 according to the broadcast.

Edit: Missed it by that much.

Jung is on some Jedi **** with a mental trainer since he was 10

So Gallo didn't homer twice in his first career game? Or just didn't homer in his first AB?

Neither actually. Homered in 2nd at bat, but he did have 3 hits and 4 rbi in his debut. Ironically, might have been one of his better games as a Ranger

That's right. For some reason I was thinking he homered a couple times.

Looks like that was the 133rd time in MLB history that someone has homered in his first at-bat. And the 6th player just this year to do it. Crazy.

Might have something to do with what they were saying on the broadcast and guys are coming up hacking their first at bat.

Huh?

The broadcast was saying he's had a mental coach/trainer since he was a kid and meditated on road trips when he was at Tech. As I said, on some Jedi ****

Hope we get to see Jung up in the 9th with a chance to walk it off

I'm going to knock on wood after I type this but if Jung got a walkoff I would have to say that's probably the best Rangers debut of all time

Leclerc's ERA is very deceptive. He just isn't the player he was a few seasons ago

I'm starting to feel optimistic about this group for next year:

Semien 2B
Seager SS
Lowe 1B
Garcia RF
Garver/Heim/Huff DH
Jung 3B
Garver/Heim/Huff C
Leody Taveras CF
Bubba Thompson RF

Duran, Smith, White, etc as utility players.

Yep. Now fix the rotation and bullpen, which we are hopefully in position with the prospects we have to do

That was awesome... but that pitch was a BP fastball right in the center of the zone.

Why is Calhoun pinch hitting for Bubba Thompson?
AggieEP
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Unreal stupidity, only answer is that Calhoun must have incriminating pictures of someone. Worst position player on the team and you pinch hit him for Bubba Thompson?

The season is lost, just let the kids learn to perform in these situations. Worst yet is that Cimber is actually harder on lefties than righties so this isn't even playing the numbers.

We're still at #9 , still more losing to do.

Odds we could sign 1-3 high-end starters this offseason? If we could pool the money this off-season into pitching that we did last year into Seager, Semien, and Garver, I think we could start seeing the window open.

Our bullpen could be serviceable if they weren't run into the dirt before the all-star break. Add those 1-3 with what we have coming up from the farm and it could start to get exciting.

1 I think is highly likely. We probably don't need more than 2 and one could argue we only need an ace and a back of the rotation guy. Then add a closer and another strong Bullpen guy and we will be set.
Proposition Joe
How long do you want to ignore this user?
What's your definition of high-end?

If you think we're inking 2 top of the rotation arms this off-season, I wouldn't hold my breath.
