Seager officially done with a hernia on the other side. Best to get that done now vs January
Helluva job by the kid to get out of that jam. 2 weak hit singles to start, then 2 Ks and a fly out.
Saw Rocker in Frisco a few weeks ago, close enough to appreciate his intimidating mound presence. Limited pitch count but the power was impressive throughout his start.
Rocker's slider is incredible
He is filthy. Top of rotation guy found.
About a foot and a half drop on that thing.
Paints a corner with 97mph. Then throws a vicious slider. Hitters look silly. Love it
Great inning. Filthy
IF Rocker pans out, is he considered "homegrown" or does UT get the credit?
100% homegrown
Rocker hosed on a strike 3 call and next pitch, over the fence. Blue is not calling this game the same. Miller is getting pitches off the plate Rocker is getting nothing that touches.
Heckuva debut for Rocker. Looking forward to seeing him and deGrom lead this rotation next season.
Home plate umpire is a ****ing idiot. Waited until 4 innings to say it.
Seattles pitcher has been getting all the calls and lots of pitches out of the zone being called strikes. Rocker hasn't gotten any borderline calls to go his way and nothing out of the zone his way.
This game isn't being called remotely fair. We have the worst luck in the world this year. MLB sends this ****** to call the game in a park where 1-0 and 2-0 games are very common. A bad umpire often has a huge impact on the game in these types of circumstances.

Not sure how to imbed twitter but rocker is filthy.

Yes we do.
HELLO WIN COLUMN!
Hello Win Column!
Game 1 of the 16 game win streak!

Tonight was very fun despite the home plate umpire calling an awful game in favor of Seattle.
Hopefully we can get Degrom and Scherzer to follow suit with great pitching performances of their own.

UT? Rocker played at Vandy.
Or are you referring to something else?

Nope. Brainfart. Vandy, UT, it's all Tennessee.
If he's not "homegrown", then by that rationale any college drafted player can't be considered as that. So no Langford or Jung either.
One difference about Rocker is how surprised the baseball world was when the Rangers selected him where they did. What made it make sense for the analysts was when Brock Porter was selected in the fourth round.
The front office did a great job there with no second or third round picks.

The other thing about that draft is that it looks pretty weak right now. There is no one selected after Rocker or mocked to the Rangers that you'd trade Rocker for now. Great pick.
This DeGrom kid seems pretty good
Very interested in seeing how highly-touted Rangers' prospect Jacob deGrom does today.

Here's some of his stuff from a recent minor league outing. Seems to have solid command of both his fastball and slider, especially to his glove side. Mixes in an occasional changeup. Curious… pic.twitter.com/f3KLtR0EVz
Looks like a wiffleball.
Does deGrom count as a Home Grown?
So who's our best homegrown pitcher, ever? Kevin Brown? Kenny Rogers? I didn't realize Kenny was a 39th rounder.
My guess Kenny Rogers...
But, could Leclerc (30) end up being that guy. He likely finishes the season 4th All-time in appearances for the Rangers.

Kevin Brown > Kenny. Rogers did more with the Rangers than Brown, but Brown had the better career.
Well no ****, but if we are talking about development Brown was a first rounder and Kenny Rogers was an afterthought in the 39th round.
Rangers just announced Chris Young has signed a multi-year extension
