Pressly’s defensive play tonight where he threw the guy at out first was pretty incredible

One more Keith Law slam towards TCU

Purke's non-signing is significant because it apparently was a casualty of the sale of the Rangers. In the interim before they were purchased, the Rangers were under the stewardship of MLB, which capped the amount Purke would be paid at the budgeted $4 million. Purke's camp thought it had agreed to a higher number and he didn't sign. This screwed pretty much everybody: The Rangers got an unprotected pick the next year, taking Jake Skole, who didn't pan out at all, while Purke was a star as a freshman at TCU but was worked very hard and ended up throwing only in the mid-80s by the end of his sophomore year.

That's the same draft where everybody passed on Mike Trout.

If only we had some decent pitching. I'll be honest, I thought for sure the Rangers would be dead last by now.

“Recalled” for his debut. Never understood that phrasing. Like when Bob Tallman at the rodeo totals up a bull rider’s 3 scores and calls it the “average.”

Baseball America calls Oregon State switch-hitting catcher Adley Rutschman "the best draft prospect since Bryce Harper"....

They're almost there. Fortunately for the Rangers most of the division is equally as bad.
