Fox 4 weatherman said he thinks they will get the game in tonight. Anyone hear different?

LF Kyle Blanks
1B Mitch Moreland
3B Joey Gallo
C Robinson Chirinos
CF Leonys Martin
2B Hanser Alberto

I'm assuming the game will start on time. Only thing I've heard is there is a window to get the game in.

I sure hate Elvis hitting second. And I sure don't have an alternative to doing so.

Actually, I kind of like this lineup due to spreading out the lefty/righties.

But according to what I heard earlier today, this guy pitching tonight is allowing lefthanders to swat well over .300 against him. And he's primarily a finesse, junk baller, move-the-ball around kind of pitcher, so this makes sense.

Banny had to try to spread out the lefties with a LHP on the mound.

I think the worst is supposed to start early in the morning but there could be showers in short bursts. Just hope nothing that interrupts Chi Chi once the game starts.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Interesting lineup.

Like Gallo back at 3rd.

 

[DT LUNA]

Nice hit Blanks. Come on MM

Prince got the dug out up and laughing

 

[donaldson79]

Martinez absolutely busted a gut laughing on that one.

Brett Anderson is not a junkballer, he's always been a very good pitcher when healthy and there's the key.... when healthy.... but has historically struggled against the Rangers

 

[donaldson79]

Prince probably wouldn't have scored anyway.

 

[Duane1952]

Good at bat Joey.

 

[DT LUNA]

Good eye Joey.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Great restraint by Gallo

He apparently has struggled against left hand hitters as well since lefties are hammering him.

OK....I delete the junk and stick with finesse and move the ball around.

 

[donaldson79]

As we were discussing yesterday, I am surprised and delighted with what I'm seeing outta Gallo and his restraint.

For a young, power hitter, his awareness of the zone/situation is really good.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Now that was pretty cool of Elvis.

Yes it was.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Alberto really needs to work on bunting.
