Isn't Frisco in the playoffs? That would be nice to have him show up for those


Surprised not to see Gentry in there, is he hurt?

The Frisco Roughriders are Playing for the Texas League Championship against the Springfield Cardinals. They are Down 2-0 right now. Coming Home to Play at the Dr Pepper Ball Park. Will need to Win All Three Games to Win the Title. Mike Napoli is Catching. On a ReHab right now. Great News on Beltre's Shoulder. As for Olt, This Foot Problem is Going to Hurt Him the Rest of this Year it looks like.

Napoli went yard in frisco the other night.

Also nice to see Profar getting more playing time than I thought he would. After the start in Tampa I didn't think we'd see him for 7 more days. They must be planning on taking him into October.

was he on the roster in time for October?

He was on the 40 man and can be part of the roster if someone turns up with an "injury" I believe. Basically he could take Olt's spot on the bench.

thought he was called up on the 31st of August which makes him eligible.

I thought it wasn't till September 1st. Either way, Olt going down all but guarantees Olt will not be on the October roster, and Profar is the likely candidate to take his spot.

you are probably right, but i figured both would be on the playoff roster

non factor since he was on the 40 man already....

As for Napoli, I believe he's 1-7? 1-8? That one being a HR.
Caught 7 innings Tues, 9 innings last night...and is going to DH tomorrow.

When I found out Olt's plantar fasciitis was as debilitating as it is I knew his season was basically done, and it easily explains his awful plate appearances.

yeah it explains a lot.

Athletics and the Angels are still scoreless in the Bottom of the 6th Inning. Angels are further back so this may be painful to say but "Go Angels". The Rangers have a Challenge Tonight with both Hamilton and Beltre out of the Lineup. Need Holland to Pitch another Strong Game.

Napoli and Soto may split time 50/50 the rest of the season, but I'd think it's primarily to keep Soto's legs fresh. Soto should undoubtedly be the #1 catcher in the playoffs. Snyder will be on the October roster too as he's an emergency catcher that can play the 4 corners too.

I think Holland's going to need to pitch a gem. Will be fun to see Profar and Martin both starting tonight though.

Angels scored in the bottom of the 7th

 

[AGZBASEBALL]

Angels now lead 2-0 in the Bottom of the 7th Inning. Agree. Holland needs to Pitch a Gem. Hopefully Profar and Martin have Big Nights.

Wouldn't bother me if the angels won the next two. It will be awfully difficult for them to really climb back in it and Oakland is getting a little too close. I don't like the fact they're continuing to play over their heads as long as they are. A young team that gets that kind of mojo going can be tough to fend off.

Angels scored 6 in the 7th. and Cespedes suffered a wrist injury in the 5th
