Was listening on my drive in and Nadel was very complimentary of his hitting a 94 mph fastball through the gap and moved Profar to third.

He's been a serviceable ML for years. Not great, but decent glove, decent average, above average speed and plays the game smart.

You may be right in that he's going to make the Rangers think long/hard about not keeping him.

I bet he makes the roster.

I might be stuck in Corsicana tonight.

Things were not too bad until I got on 635 @ the 175 merge. Man, 635 was messy in both directions, one vehicle on the E bound side was upside down, big E bound pile at or near the Central/635 intersection. Emergency vehicles moving to tackle problems in damn near every direction.

Stay in Corsicana and drive in mid day tomorrow hoss.

Long way from Okla City.

Checked his LT numbers and he's only a .205 hitter. And his offensive stats across the board pretty much suck.

Don't know why I thought of him as a better hitter than this.

Be safe Ranger fans, sorry you're stuck Romeo.

He has good power for a little guy with good speed, but neither him nor Rosales can hit very well. If we could get .250 from either while playing good D I would be happy, but that might be asking too much.

Good news on Matt:
Texas Rangers left-handed starter Matt Harrison completed a long toss session Saturday with no issues, throwing as far as 250 feet. His next task: throwing off a half-mound. He'll do that on the back fields Monday and then continue to progress until he can pitch in a Cactus League game.

There's no set timetable for that at this point.

"I feel good," Harrison said. "I just have to keep going. I feel like my arm is strong."

Feliz was less than impressive again.

Every time I see Napoli crank one out it makes me sick. Why isn't he with the Rangers. Hes scrapper and great in the clubhouse. We couldn't find room for him In field????? Now we're stuck with Moreland as DH .

Long past time to let that thought pattern go IMO.

Your assessment of on Napolio is correct, and of course we would all loved to have seen him stay here. But do keep in mind he wanted little to no part of the DH position and this ultimately lead him to leave.

He didn't want to DH. He wanted to play 1st full time.

I forgot the Angels got Ibanez and Pena. It seems like Ibanez has killed us lately in our park.

He'll be fine in Corsicana. He won't need his red lounging jacket there.

I just drove Back from 24 hr fitness In Mansfield to my home here in Midlothian. I saw about 4-6 wrecks on 287 heading towards Ft worth . Bridges were icing up .

Ibanez is 41, dude couldn't could be in a nursing home & hit a homer against the Rangers. He's a ranger killer along with that douche bag Donaldson from the Piece of shit A's. ...along with kyle seager on the M's.

 

[Justinkm83]

Good job Adcock. Comes in to pitch the ninth w/ a 2 run lead and walks 3 batters.

Donaldson shot up the charts on my most hated players in baseball. Balfour and Donaldson are near the top. I also hate Valverde, A-Rod, and Freese to name a few.
