Just a guess but I think JD waits to see how Harrell does before making a move.

Personally, I like DDJ hitting LO.

 

[Nightcrawler]

And what will that move be? SP maybe?

I don't have a crystal ball, but I'd expect a MORP starter or a cheap reliever. People get mad at our offense sometimes, but I think our offense is good enough to compete in the playoffs ( if we make it). We need to shore up some pitching issues tho or at least put a band aid on them until Colby and Holland return.

Profar gets 3 hits the night before................lets give him a night off tonight.

Total move.

Does he have that luxury? Trade deadline rapidly approaching.

Good point.

I think JD makes a trade only on his terms. He is no longer forced to go with the best deal he can make. He can stand pat if he doesn't get his trade. There is still a chance that he makes a move to shore up the offense if the right deal comes along. I guess we will all find out soon.

Total move.

I was wondering how long it would take from the lineup being posted to someone making the Profar note. It took you about 7 minutes to pounce. Nice one.

Josh Hamilton told Evan Grant today he is 100% committed to playing for the Rangers in 2017.

 

[Duane1952]

Beat me to it Saddles.

 

[Nightcrawler]

As cheap as he is ( to us) it can't hurt to see what he has left.

 

[donaldson79]

Thank goodness.

Rain delay. Game won't start on time.

 

[darrylgann]

7:40 first pitch now

 

[saddles]

I only live about 15-20 miles or so from the ballpark, but it sure seems to rain there a lot more than it does where I live.

I had a chance to go tonight, but decided against it a few days ago. Living in Waco makes weekday games almost impossible. With a delayed start, I'm glad I passed.
