Can't believe the Rangers couldn't use this guy. Chapman is great and pitching great, but woof. Ragans is pitching like a legit number one. I'd say, well, it's Oakland but he's been doing this for over a month now.
I agree. I wasn’t super impressed with the return on Chapman, but I’ll need to reassess. He should tear through the Oakland lineup just because, but the way he did it…Stunning.
Mr. B, Hokey smokes, Bullwinkle!, as Rocket J Squirrel might have said. Ragan's stuff reminds me of Danny Jackson, but with a much smoother delivery. To your knowledge has this Dude had T.J. yet? I'm keeping all available fingers crossed, but wouldn't it just be par for the Royals' course if he did?
Cole Ragans is the most excited I have been about our new development staff since they were hired. A high draft pick traded for that was at the AAA level for a team with World Series aspirations looking to improve their team. They helped him with a slider and obviously liked what they already could evaluate in spin rate, pitches, etc. This is a huge win!
Agree. They took someone with potential and are currently getting the most out of that. Wild! I’m excited to see how he continues, but if this is the opening salvo, I’m going to jump right on board. One of those trades that is truly win-win.
I hope the Rangers win the World Series with Aroldis Chapman recording the final out so they are not mad when we get a #1 starter for 5 more controllable years!

I’m beginning to believe, too. Let’s hope he stays healthy.
Amen. The delivery looks so easy, but you never know.

He’s had two. Not great. If you want to look on the bright side, the rehabs and Covid season have limited his innings and the general wear on his arm.
