Matt Harrison expected to start Tuesday vs. the D-backs. Derek Holland throws bullpen. Josh Hamilton not making big deal of facing Angels
The more I think about it the more I do not feel that Banister is such a big proponent of the 6 man rotation as he is making sure he can fit these pitchers who are coming back from the DL into the rotation.

Moreland in the 2 hole again. Don't get the logic.

I just do not think this is sound baseball wisdom. He is slower than molasses and you want him to drive in runs. If he gets on base he is a station to station baserunner.

There's a new idea out there that your best hitter should hit second. The Reds did that with Joey Votto for a while.

The Rangers 12th round draft pick, Ledarious Clark, isn't finding this professional baseball stuff too difficult so far. He has a slash line of .404/.485/.614 through his first 57 professional at bats. He also has 7 stolen bases. The kid definitely hit the ground running.

I think it will be for only a very short period of time if it happens at all. It really depends on health, performance, and which direction in the standings we head towards over the next 2-3 weeks.

Me neither. Looks more like media fishing to me. We will probably have pitchers nicked up from time to time. Let's see if Harrison can get it done first

Are you goingto the RR area or are they on the road close to you? Gallo is still waiting for his first hit. Does have an error.
Going to Georgetown for the night. So they will be 15 minutes down the road.

We played Georgetown and Round Rock on back to back weekends in football so I am familiar with the area.

Just guessing but I would think those better hitters batting 2nd have above average speed.

Thanks for the reminder Buzz. We are aware of 2011 and Freese

Chi Chi isn't long for this game, command issues and no out pitch it seems

Buzz in referencing MM in the first...."He had one of the most impressive groupings of HRs I remember...... Having hit 2 in each of the last 2 games."

What does this mean?

Chi chi is enduring a bit of a learning curve. He's got nowhere to go when he needs a strikeout.

Really doesn't have an out pitch as you say. Will be going to RR soon as well.
