2nd half of our left coast swing....A's 25-27 of Aug

[BULLPEN FAILURE]

I'm still not entirely sure why this series and the series in September couldn't have been swapped, even taking into consideration the logistics such as travel and ticket sales.

This cleared it up a bit.

Astros-Rangers series officially moved to Florida

Thanks Eph.

The Astros will play their upcoming series against the Rangers at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida, because of flooding in Houston from Tropical Storm Harvey, a source confirmed to ESPN's Jerry Crasnick.

Major League Baseball is expected to officially announce the relocation of the three-game series later Monday, the source told Crasnick.

I guess this is equally unfair. Frankly, even if I were the Astros I'd rather play in Arlington than frigging Florida.

It seems MLB gets a lot of things wrong.

I think one thing which we aren't considering is JD and the contract which Odor just signed, and I'm sure at JD's insistence. It would be a really tough thing to admit after a few months "sorry boss, I fucked up and we should have never signed Roggie, long term."

As pointed out by Eph, he's still only 23 and lots of time to right the ship. Hopefully a long way from the finish product we all hope he becomes. Granted, I'm not overly optimistic, but still.

The contract was a head scratcher.

I bet the attendance for the Rangers-Astros series will be quite pathetic.

At least they're playing somewhere and not postponing it.

Besides.... whose not down for more games at the trop?

A lot of good playoff memories there.
