On a personal note, I thought Corbin was garbage when we signed him.

I did too but he has done well overall.

I know that

I didn't care to find all of them, but I did laugh at this one since it was the original comment that got me started, Corbin was an emergency signing thar has paid off in spades, does he survive the return of Evo, Bradford and Gray? probably not. but he has done yeoman's work on the cheap for us

Not the first time I have done that. But I don't waste my time finding people who have wavered from what they once stated and what they say now because just about all of us have. And I don't know what the context of that from. After a bad game or how much money to resign him.

Still no Josh Smith.

Yes, he has been valuable to our rotation so far.

I agree and is a better deal at 1 mill compared to Heaney's 5 mill. Made a difference once you let me know his salary wasn't 500,000. Not sure what I was looking at when I thought that was Heaney's salary.

Had a friend who took his son to Josh Smith baseball camp on Monday. I hope its nothing serious.

If we are buyers, I do wonder if we will look into trading for Heaney.

From Scott Lucas' report today:

Kohl Drake set a career high in innings. Texas's top five in strikeouts have all made 11 starts: Drake (68), David Davalillo (68), Mitch Bratt (66), Mason Molina (62) and Leandro Lopez (61).

From Jeff Wilson:

Bruce Bochy is hopeful Josh Smith will return to #Rangers’ lineup Friday at Pittsburgh. Could be available off the bench today.

3 bullpen games in 10 days is never a good idea. In fact, 2 in a short amount of days is never a good idea.

 

[Kelleyman]

Too much respect for Witt.
Waking him all series and it comes back to bite

Armstrong looks tired IMO
Daygame after night game

Not activating and using Dunning is just dumb.

They don’t need to be buyers.

 

[Kelleyman]

10 pitches for Wacha which includes a strikeout
Pretty efficient
Ouch

 

[saddles]

They don’t need to be buyers.

I don't expect them to be in a position to be.

 

[saddles]

The effects of these bullpen games will probably be felt up until the AS break.

 

[DTLUNA]

We need to sell and give away CY and Bochy

 

[DTLUNA]

Jung looks spastic in the batter box.
