At home to play the defending AL Champs Royals

Me and Rev doing commentary would have the FCC scrambling so fast their heads would be spinning.

Read my mind.

Not to mention the fines might put FSSW in bankruptcy.

Ironically, Mac was saying before the game how Choo doesn't really like hitting LO. Surprised me.

Choo himself has said he's very comfortable hitting lead off and likes setting the tone.

Swear....they talked at length about Choo preferring to hit further down the line-up, according to Choo. Not their opinion.

And again, it very much surprised me.

Just two good ole boys never doing no harm.

It feels good," Choo said. "[A leadoff home run] sets the tone. I really like the leadoff spot. … I just feel like a leader in the lineup."

Claudio just can't hack it.

Thank you....that's what I was remembering the entire time this chat was taking place.

Got me........

DeShields is about to make lairs out of some of us, and make himself a permanent spot on this team.

I'm willing to try his ass in the 2 spot. He has a very good eye and is very patient.

Interesting. Elvis will never be consistent enough

Even though we lost today, we split the series with the best team in the AL (record wise) and that's a positive with the Tribe coming to town. Pegs will be replaced with Josh and Detwiler will be in our pen sooner than later being replaced by one of our lefties on the DL next month. Hang in there guys because I am pretty optimistic about the direction this season is heading and if we can tread water and stay about 5-6 games out by mid-June I really like our chances down the stretch.

Love the fact that he will work a walk to get on base

I don't. Other than Kela, Tolleson, and Bass our bullpen is a dumpster fire.

Feliz is in no way a closer for a playoff caliber team

I wonder how long Luke Jackson has to have success relieving at Round Rock before he is brought up for the pen?

I'd think till the ASB.

Not sure he will survive this season as the closer

 

[saddles]

Good start to the first game of a double header for both Odor and Smolinski. Both have HRs. Smolinski is 3-3 and Odor is 1-2 with a walk through only 4 innings. Choice is 3-3 as well. I think Chi Chi pitches the nightcap.

I loathe the FCC...I would relish the opportunity. I am surprised there isn't some internet show where guys talk unfiltered trash as announcers. Or an uncensored play by play on XM Sirirus.

I guess you are assuming he does well until then. Let's hope so.

The closest situation I can think of is when they moved Feliz to the pen before he came up to pitch in our bullpen. It looks like they gave him 12 relief appearances in AAA before moving him up here.
