Pete Delkus says we have the potential of an additional 2-7 inches of rain between now and next Sunday in the DFW area. The Ballpark is actually just barely in the section where he expects 5-7 inches of rain. Could be some rainouts this week.

Yeah.....when I was looking at the forecast last night it didn't dawn on me the online weather channel had hit a clitch and everything had zeroed out. Opps.

Games on W/Th are in real trouble looks like.

Just seems weird that Choo has a 10 game hitting streak and is hitting .183

True but the needle does not move up when you have 1 hit in 8 of the 10 games and in the other 2 he has 2 hits in each.

When you start as poorly as he did, it takes a while to elevate that number.

What on earth is there to ponder with Odor? Completely flabbergasted by this.

Adam Rosales started at second base over Rougned Odor for the third consecutive game. Banister admitted the club is getting close a decision on how to best use Odor, in a 7-for-58 slump.

But at least we saw, and now hear, some terrific news on Feliz. I had about thrown in the towel on this guy.

Corporan on Neftali Feliz: Thats the best Ive seen him, even when I hit against him before | | Dallas Morning News
Glad to see Feliz dealing again.

My guess is that they are wanting to see what effect sitting Odor for a few games has on him before they send him down.

Eric Nadel mentioned in the pregame show yesterday that many times a team will not make a move like sending Odor down while they are on the road. But he seemed to be pretty convinced it was a move that will be made soon.

And it looks like Wednesday's game is a goner, if the current forecast holds.

That makes perfect sense, now that someone else said it. haha

As wet as it's been, it wouldn't take a whole lot more precipitation to put any of these games in jeopardy this week. And Wed/Thur looks really bad.

Cedar Creek is overflowing, and the gates are as open as they can get em without washing away people's homes. If we get the 5+ inches predicted, it's gonna be a mess, and quite dangerous too.

This is a pretty serious and potentially life threatening amount of water we're all dealing with now, even without tornadoes.

As we know in East Texas, it can change in a matter of hours. Hopefully those storms that are supposed to be here Wed and Thurs will miss us entirely or will be much less severe than projected as of now

Question is, who gets called up Fields, or Lucas.

Field is starting at 2b tonight. Rougned at AAA Round Rock.
Good. Rosales is free to back up MIF players needing a rest.

Right where he was supposed to be in the first place.

I think you and I have a "degree" of appreciation for the UIF position which some on here do not.

My favorite UIF the rangers have had recently was Blanco. We've sorely missed a guy like that since he moved on.

In fairness to this young man, he may stay in the minors for this year and next, come back the following season (2017) and be a monster.

Keep in mind in 2017, he'll be all of 23 years old then.

I think so. Imagine not having one. Beltre certainly needs some relief and Elvis sure seems he needs something.
