Throwback: Bryce Harper and Joey Gallo Make for a Terrifying Little League Team

Yea I read something about this a couple of weeks ago that they played together when they were 8 and 9, in Nevada IIRC.

Speaking of Bryce read this to get a laugh.

They lost 9-2 tonight. Martinez gave up 6 ER. Tough night for him.

Hope he is not burnt out with all the 100+ pitch games.

Bright spot was Gallo hit another second deck dinger. He went 1-4 with three strikeouts. Never saw a fastball in the three strike outs. All breakers and change ups. Plus Sale was on the mound.

I was wondering why Josh didn't play Tuesday after having Monday off and now I know why, they just announced on Quick Pitch he has a hamstring strain and will be out 3-4 weeks. (That didn't take long). Looks like he did it during that walk off double.

Also explains why they wanted to see what Joey could do with his bat, looks like he's taking the place of 2 not just one. Also explains why they recalled Smolinski on Sunday night, he was hot at the plate too.

I opined a couple of weeks ago he looked like he was getting tired and could maybe stand a couple of extra days rest, looks like it finally caught up to him.

He went 1-4 with three strikeouts.

Well you know Chris Sale is no slouch so three Ks doesn't surprise me, in fact he got Rosales and Smolinski 3 times each. He was hell on all the part time and younger players with his breaking stuff, and the team as a whole has been swinging pretty freely the last 3-4 games. So that explains 16 Ks last night, with Sale getting 13 of them.

About the only bright spots last night were Joey's dinger and DD is still getting on base hitting leadoff. I think their winning percentage with DD as leadoff is somewhere up over .600, will have to do some snooping to confirm this though.

This also makes me wonder how they will finagle the batting order with both Beltre and Josh out at the same time??? Will they move Joey up or leave him in 6th, hmmmmm... Guess we'll see.

Left-hander Ross Detwiler, starting the transition from the rotation to the bullpen with the Texas Rangers, struggled in his second appearance on a minor-league injury-rehabilitation appearance Tuesday night.

Detwiler allowed three runs and eight base-runners in 1 2/3 innings with Double-A Frisco against Springfield, of the St. Louis organization. He retired only one of the final seven hitters faced, and that came on a sacrifice fly. Detwiler threw 42 pitches, only 23 for strikes.

Rangers general manager Jon Daniels has said that with rookie right-hander Chi Chi Gonzalez in the rotation, the Rangers view Detwiler as a reliever when he returns from the disabled list. He has been out since May 15 because of shoulder inflammation.

Doesn't look like Detwiler is gonna get that shot at another start.

Harrison began his assignment on Wednesday by throwing five innings for Triple-A Round Rock against Reno. Harrison allowed two runs on five hits and a walk while striking out four. He threw 78 pitches. The outing comes on the one-year anniversary of Harrison undergoing spinal fusion surgery to correct back problems that limited him to six Major League starts in 2013-14.

"The back felt good," Harrison said. "My arm felt good. I've got to figure out what I can do to get my velocity back up. I haven't been able to get as much power in my legs. It's not going to happen overnight, but hopefully by the end of the month. I'm getting outs, just a little different way. I threw and got off the field healthy. It was a good day."

Looks like Harrison is getting closer.

Rangers outfielder Delino DeShields is following in his father's famous path. DeShields, son of the former big leaguer with the same name, was tabbed as the American League's Rookie of the Month for May on Wednesday. The younger DeShields batted .296 (24-for-81) with 22 runs scored and 10 stolen bases last month. The younger DeShields, whose father was the runner-up for the 1990 National League Rookie of the Year Award, outpaced all fellow first-year players in the AL in runs, triples (two), steals, walks (15) and on-base percentage (.406) over the past month.

DeShields became the first Texas player to win the AL Rookie of the Month Award since Justin Grimm in April 2013. DeShields walked three times and stole three bases on May 7, which was just the second time that a rookie has managed those twin feats in the same game in the past 23 seasons.

DeShields has made quite an impression on the basepaths, where he became the third rookie in franchise history to steal 10 bases in any calendar month. DeShields fell a home run short of the cycle on May 13, and the Rangers posted a .633 winning percentage in May with the rookie atop the lineup.

I expected Josh to have something early on. I think Banny and JD did as well.

Hamilton ran through 'spring training' a bit quick for a 34 year old man with a history of injury and body abused by drugs. I thought it was too quick, but at the time, the Rangers wanted and needed another bat. Keep him out to heal and then manage him in rehab games.

You did opine such. I agree. Give the kid a few extra days. Have Bass do a spot start to skip Martinez. They did that a few times for Yu in his first and even second year.

I would also consider getting old timer W-Rod a few extra days.

My hope is that Martinez is not starting to run the course of Grimm and Tepesch. However, he has a lot more 'stuff' than they did (do).

Those 100+ pitch games in 5 or 6 innings are hard on the arm. 100+ in 7 or 8 much different.

Buzz mentioned Gallo has only faced A and AA pitching and the stuff he has seen like breaking balls, pro change ups etc. is a first for Gallo. He also mentioned that Sale and the pitchers the night before showed the Rook some respect by pitching around the strike zone.

So if he gets a fast ball, chances are it is gone:)

Wonderful experience for the youngster. He gets to see where he needs to grow and mature facing good MLB pitching. When Beltre gets back, I'm sure Gallo goes to AAA to see closer MLB pitching than he would see in AA.

If he batted 5th last night, he would have been up with the bases loaded in the bottom 8th and a fastball reliever on the mound. Rosales whiffed instead.

I think Banny giving Prince a rest last night was a great call. The one veteran power hitter (minus Mitch) not on the DL. Plus there were signs Fielder was slowing down a bit.

Thanks for the update. Was wondering if he was coming back to start...guess not. Maybe they move Bass or Edwards to a spot start now and then to give some of these pitchers an extra few days off. All these high pitch counts in 5 or 6 innings...something has to give.

The BP has been doing their part for the past three-four weeks. If JD and Banny can keep swapping out fresh arms with the farm, it will work for a bit.

Saw that one of the DFW reporters think that if the Rangers 'buy' at the trade deadline it will be for some reliever help.

I guess there was good news on Harry's first rehab start.

FYI:

Red Sox Designate Carlos Peguero

By Jeff Todd [June 4, 2015 at 2:31pm CDT]

The Red Sox have designated outfielder Carlos Peguero for assignment, the club announced (via Tim Britton of the Providence Journal, on Twitter). His roster spot will go to the just-acquired Alejandro De Aza.

Boston added Peguero just over a week ago, and he saw only six plate appearances with his new club. He’s always had plenty of pop — as his 30 Triple- A home runs last year attest — but Peguero strikes out quite a bit while walking only at the league average. Still, his left-handed power bat holds reasonable appeal, though it remains to be seen whether another team will be inclined to give the out-of-options slugger an active roster spot

The 34-year-old Hamilton said he felt nagging groin and hamstring issues while on minor league rehab assignments before returning to the majors.

He needs to go back to AAA and learn to be patient at the plate or he will end up being a career minor leaguer or maybe out of baseball altogether.

If Harrison and Holland are back and doing well and the team is winning then I agree, if not then I think it will be a tossup as to what they do. Maybe even sell, especially if they aren't winning. And if that's the case they just might contemplate moving Beltre to get another starter if Joey is still in Arlington and doing well. I'd hate to lose his presence in the locker room but they are going to get less and less as more time goes by, he is 36 you know.

Tonights lineup has Moreland batting 4th Andrus 5th and Joey in 6th, that could work if "EVIS" can get on base in front of Joey.

You know if Joey homers tonight he will be the only person to homer in his first 3 games in MLB history.

12 hits and only 2 runs I imagine the 13Ks had quite a bit to do with runners being left on base last night. Also had to use 6 pitchers again when probably only 2-3 were required.

And I didn't believe it at first when I read it was they are currently tied for a "Wild Card" position at only 3 games over .500, amazing.

You know how I feel about giving players days off, it's a good thing cause the season is so long and such a drag. Especially when it's the dead of summer you're in an enclosed stadium and the temps on the turf are up close to 120.

You are not kidding. On father's day 2011 family took me to a RR AAA game. Dads and kids were allowed on the OF grass to play catch. So younger sonny boy and I went down there played catch for a bit and came back drenched running for the lemonade stand.

It was a hot June Texas day game. About 95 (not bad) in the stands. But felt like an oven in that OF. I learned to appreciate the conditioning these guys have for enduring such conditions most of the season.

Yes, Joey came up with bases loaded in his first MLB game. Real pressure situation and I believe he whiffed but was not the last out of the inning.

In game two he missed runners on base and one bases loaded situation with Evis making the last out of the inning. Then he batted first the next inning and knocked one out (his second).

Once he learns to control his swing in certain situations and finds "patience" then he will become a very dangerous hitter, just as good if not better than Josh in his prime...

Maybe I'm strange or something but I never felt any pressure but the pressure must have had some effect on me cause I always was better in late innings or playoff games.

Gallo batting 5th tonight:

And then he goes 0-4 with 4 Ks, 3 of them looking. I imagine he was told to look for his pitch and lay off the low stuff so he got a bit tentative. When he first gets promoted he always has a rough patch and then seems to figure out what is going on so I'm not worried, it's all part of the learning process with younger players.

I think he'll have it figured out in the next week or so and will end up making it very difficult for the management to send him back down. The only problem with that line of thinking just where do you put him to let him get some at bats after Adrian and Josh come back??

I think the only way he's gonna play everyday is if either Adrian or Mitch is gone. BTA maybe Bannister will just go to some revolving system to where he rests his guys on a more regular basis to keep them fresher and ready for post season. (Which is what I would do). Which means Joey needs to learn to play a little 3B, OF and 1B. :)

SP Chi Chi Gonzalez

I was expecting a decent outing from him another 6 innings or so but not a complete game shutout. That's one way to rest the bullpen especially after they had to use 6 pitchers last night. If I'm not mistaken that's the first complete game thrown this season by a starter?

And that win just moved them into 2nd place in front of the Angels. They've made up 5 games of their deficit behind the "Stros" and have another 5 to go. If they can get thru the next 2 weeks without Adrian and Josh then they should be able to make a run at them later when some of the starters come back. Haven't heard anything new on any of the "DL queens" except for Perez was supposed to pitch in Extended Spring Training last night. Holland underwent an MRI yesterday so maybe he can start throwing off the mound.

Looks like the only change to the lineup is that Corporan is catching today instead of Chirinos.

Wandy hasn't faced the Royals since 2012 so I would imagine he has an advantage since most of their players haven't faced him before.

4-2 win today. Wandy did good. Gallo went 1-4 and had a fly ball out and ground out. So he's learning. Had another K lookin.

Stros lost again. 3.5 out now.

Good thing is we are hitting the Royals when they are slumping. We will be done with them tomorrow. Then on to the A's at O co.

Looks like the Astros are coming back to Earth after their hot start, or should I say a start against a lot of teams who weren't playing very well.

Cleveland, Texas, Athletics, Angels, Seattle and San Diego all teams who got off to rough starts. All of them were below .500 until recently and some still are. If those teams were playing better at the time the Astros would be around .500 right now.

Seems like he is over his injuries "finally" and back to being a good pitcher. Before he got injured he won right at 50 games for the Astros over a 3-3.5 year period of time when they absolutely stunk. So thank the Stros and Braves for cutting him loose and letting him come to Texas. :)

Then on to the A's at O co.

The Athletics seem to be playing a bit better now so this could be a decent series. Martinez, Gallardo and Rodriguez for Texas and Grey, Hahn and Kazmir for the As.

I hate those late games though cause unless you wake up in the middle of the night you don't get to see the score until morning. :(

Too bad he didn't get that base hit when the bases were loaded. :)

Lost 4-3 today on an 8th inning HR.

Good news is the Stros lost too.

However 2/3 ain't bad to win another series.
