A detailed look at who Evan Carter is right now. scottlucas.com/2025/05/06/eva…

Wrote about Burger before the move. He did spend his week abroad in a video-game environment but that’s not his fault, and he hit the snot out of the ball.

Wrote about Cole Winn yesterday and how much of that 0.00 ERA at AAA was real vs. luck. Under the Round Rock game story. scottlucas.com/2025/05/15/ran…

Wrote about the most all-pitch/no-bat periods in Rangers history and where the current period applies statistically (🙁) and emotionally (😭). scottlucas.com/2025/05/27/ran…

I committed the sin of not checking for late news before sending the daily report, so here's some notes on just-promoted reliever Codi Heuer: scottlucas.com/2025/06/01/not…

Wrote up David Davalillo’s AA debut that I drove down to watch last night, some Aaron Zavala love, and the 2nd-worst Texas MiLB team performance of the past 18 years. scottlucas.com/2025/06/21/ran… Rangers Farm Report: Games of Friday 20 June – Scott Lucas

Jon Gray done after 2 IP in Round Rock. FB 93-95, SL 85-88, CB 77-82, CH 87. Misses on 2 FB, 2 SL, 1 CB. Control fine. No-doubt homer on 1st-pitch FB by Sam Hilliard. Maybe a few unintended slider locations but generally a strong outing.

Kohl Drake a touch off in his 2nd AAA start. Just 1 hit but 5 homerish balls in play. Also had 5 batters in a row started 0-2 but couldn’t be finished off, walked 2, fanned none, needed 32 pitches. Not bad, but some struggles.

Good evening. I wrote a late-midseason review of Texas's top-30 prospects (as judged by MLB Pipeline before the season). Who's up, down, holding steady? scottlucas.com/2025/07/22/ran…

Me, Iron Cheffield and Scott Lucas podded and talked a lot about a lot of stuff that might be out of date in the next day or so. Enjoy! omny.fm/shows/sportsra…

Curvelo: FB/SI 95, top 97, throws about 50%, bullet SL 82-86, slightly better-than-avg whiff w heat (but offset some by results on contact), slightly below w slider (but offset by *terrific* contact results). Blah BB rate, poor 1st-pitch strike. Big platoon but not historically.

Numbers of changes Curvelo threw tonight: 4. Number he threw in 38 AAA IP according to Statcast: 0. Checked the data and, yeah, there's some misclassifications and he's thrown maybe 6-8, almost all in July.

I wrote about the trades. The farm wasn't awesome Thursday morning and it's less awesome now, but the roster was already set to win now, so, try to win now. Also, the emotions of being this type of fan, remembering some guys, etc. scottlucas.com/2025/08/01/ran…
