If the Padres score another they might have to drag Broxton away from the hot-dog stand.

What Nolan Ryan told Brandon McCarthy in a special bullpen workout session a few weeks back wasn’t revolutionary stuff in the spectrum of 100 years of pitching technology.

But it was revolutionary to McCarthy, who is expected to make his season debut for the Rangers on Saturday against the Cleveland Indians.

When the injury-prone 25-year-old spent time with the Rangers president, as well as new pitching coach Andy Hawkins and new bullpen coach Jim Colborn, he heard the same thing a lot of pitchers have heard throughout the years – push off your back leg, use your lower body, take the pressure off your arm.
