Series Thread: Hot 'Stros to cool their heels in Arlington 6/6 to 6/9

[Kelleyman]

Really curious how they handle the backup CF role esp when Choo comes back. If Hoying goes down for Choo, can Rua handle in emergency. Maybe have to give Des one day off before this happens

I guess I missed this. Did not know Tepesch opted out. Oh, well.

Zach Cone released, Nick Tepesch opts out

That will be an interesting decision, luckily Round Rock isn't far away

Desmond never gets a day off again until he starts slumping again

Well... agreed, but baseball isn't that simple

I'm thinking more form the perspective if he gets hurt in the 3rd inning of a game and needs to come out, what would be the play there?

Everyone but Cal Ripken needs a day off. Esp without a retractable roof

No doubt, luckily it looks like it will be a somewhat tame summer again, in regards to heat anyway

Yeah I was joking for the most part, he is probably past due for a day of rest anyway. I don't remember the last game he didnt play in, though they did just have thursday off. My guess if Hoying goes down and there is an emergency Rua would have to slide into CF, unless Choo was back and I only say that cause he's had some time in CF with the Reds, though I have no idea why

Yeah we have been fortunate with heat. I think they go the Rua route. If they do ther is no pressure to send down Profar

Profar has a lot of value leading off until he does not, I want to see him there until he has a downturn and needs to be moved lower in the order

At least it's not Fielder and Mitch in the lineup at the same time.

Could you PLEASE look at a post or two before you just post something?

Will's previous post, about 30 minutes before yours, said EXACTLY the same thing.

 

[Bmurph]

thats a strike all day

 

[Bmurph]

Altuve can steal the base and look back 3/4 of the way there and still get there easily

 

[Bmurph]

the location of that pitch was up more than the one called a ball in the last AB

Nice inning Colby

 

[darrylgann]

How's Delano doing in Round Rock? Anyone?

 

[Kelleyman]

Good to get through first part of order which I'd pretty tough. Hope to get ahead. Astro relievers hav e been pretty good as of late

 

[Kelleyman]

Ho hum. Pretty mediocre at last glance

 

[darrylgann]

What a kid!
