That didn't really work out for Profar last time, I have a feeling he'll spend a lot of time in AAA next year

Rosales doesn't offer much offense off the bench, hence that's why he's on the bench to begin with

Touch of sarcasm, I don't like the idea of that for Profar. I didnt like it when they did it last time, that said nothing surprises me. Thats where I like to see Rosales, on the bench. I know he has to play at some point, I just don't like to see it. Good thing I have a ballgame tonight, Ill check here and the box score and hope he made me look bad. Hoping for a sweep

As always wanting a win but honestly guys this doesn't look favorable to me.
Martinez vs Kasmir
Strausborger in 2 hole
Rua who should be in AAA
And then Rosie
No: MM JH ODOR
Well stranger things have happened

Im gonna go out on a very weak limb (hope I don't break my neck) and say Nick pitches well and keeps us in it and MM, Josh or Roogie get called on to PH later and we win this one. Astros only have one lefty in their BP still I think.

Protecting roogie...guess they don't trust MM against lefties
es

Strasbourger typically hits in the 2 hole in AAA and Moreland is playing tonight, Choo is sitting as he is abysmal against LHPs

You can argue Hamilton has had success against Kazmir in a small sample, but Banister decided to go with the RHed bat against the LHP and play the averages

 

[jta4437]

Did they make a lineup change? Is Moreland out now?

 

[Rudy_Rangerfan]

I'm hoping Nick can bring it ...he's due

 

[jta4437]

He had a quality start in his last outing

 

[Justinkm83]

Just wondering if we would take a flyer on Napoli?hasn't had a great year ,but he's a right handed batter than can play ,1st...he has 13 hrs..40 rbis this year ...strikes out a lot . I think the Sox would give him away

He can't play catcher anymore. Where would he play? He would only play against lefties for Mitch.

Just wondering bc a couple people said he was out today, and I hadn't seen anything official

There he is at 1B

My bad on Mitch.

Yeah he was in there on that lineup Ephland originally posted. May have been an oversight for some

 

[Bmurph]

Nice 12 pitch 1st inning Bday boy, keep it going

 

[jta4437]

Yeah that's what I was basing it on, so I was confused by the statements that were contrary to that afterwards

 

[Bmurph]

Reading is FUNDAMENTAL Steve

 

[Bmurph]

Yes it was an error

 

[jta4437]

Strasbourger looks to be a good bunter with speed
