Series Thread: Hamels Cruzing to meet Cruz... Tex vs Sea Aug 7 8 9

What about me?

Wash can come back and coach the infield and that's it. HaHa.

 

[saddles]

So Mitch is going to sit against LHers?

Apparently so.

What about me?

Noooooooooooooo! That would be a nightmare. But have to admit it was hilarious.

Get Cruz back and it will be like old times.

Give JD a couple of years and if Seattle is struggling then that just might happen.

Gotta give JD credit. He's got a knack for getting something out of players thrown on the scrap heap.

Did anyone catch Banister's post game comment from Wednesday that went something like "Once we get the lead, we like to keep it close".

He immediately corrected himself but that was classic.

Yes, he kind of did that with Cruz to begin with.

Vlad too.

I think it was Wastin who joked about who must have been pitching last night against Round Rock. I found this interesting today from Scott Lucas about that subject.

"Gallo hit three homers (all left of center) for the first time since last May, while Martin homered twice. Gallo is batting .348 and slugging .924 in AAA when he makes contact. For the record, New Orleans' starting pitcher was making his AAA debut, and his replacement had logged only one inning above high-A entering the contest. That said, both had pitched well at lower levels and weren't homer-prone.

MiLB video of Gallo homers one, two and three, and vid of Martin homers one and two."

My oldest son just texted me to remind me that he told me 2 months ago we could get Napoli cheap. Guess he was right.

Napoli .421, 4 HR's, 9 RBI's in 19 AB's against the Angels this year.

Wonder what would happen if Segar went drinking with Rev and Romeo?

 

[saddles]

One ex-Ranger that I wouldn't mind having back is Joaquin Benoit. I wish he had never left actually. Every time he has been free I wanted to JD to go and get him.

Nadel is ripping Hamilton apart on that at bat.

And O'Day.

I don't know what happened to him. He was fine when we dropped him off on that deserted highway.

Napoli has always killed the Angels. Almost certainly a factor in JD's decision to acquire him.

He should, that was terrible .

 

[saddles]

Heyman is reporting that we are paying $1.5 million to Napoli for the remainder of the year.

Good AB Elvis
