About as good as can be at this point I guess. With the injury situation.

We still have two catchers that could DH. Preferably Haladay but hopefully PF comes through. Enjoy the game young man.

I'm honestly not even mad about last night. Offense did enough, and Wilhelmsen was decent. Tolleson still sucks, but whatever. Maybe Mitch is coming around. Nice to see Rua hit one out after a couple ugly at bats. The only person I'm aggravated with is Derek. Guess he's going to just be a decent #4 with the occasional dominating stretch of game or two. At least our key bullpen guys got a night off.

I read a stat that in 12 starts, Derek has given up 3 or less in 9 of them.

Those are games we should have won. Hope that is true.

I really don't pay much attention to the baseball draft, primarily b/c it's such a crap shoot each and every year.
Guys drafted in the 1st fold, while guys drafted in the 23rd round become everyday players.

But I'm glad for a man like Bennie who can keep us all in the loop.

Thanks. I tend to lose interest after the first 10 rounds or so myself.

I read that and am encouraged. Others read it and focus on how bad the three bad starts were. Two of them were very, very bad for sure. I think still others would not be happy if he had only had 1 or 2 bad starts. If he put up a 3.50 ERA from here through the rest of the season it would not be enough to erase how they feel about him. Like I said earlier, I could be way overly optimistic about him myself. Time will tell. It makes for a topic of discussion in this long season anyway.

He's obviously not ace material and he's not as dependable as Lewis, but for a #4 he's solid. He gave up one big hit last night, and that'll happen.

Alright. USA wins and advances to the next round of the Copa America. Now make my night complete and get us a win Rangers.

 

[Kelleyman]

Wonder how Darvieh is doing. Not thinking it is a slam dunk he makes his next start. Would love to see Beltre pinch hit and not do DL

 

[Kelleyman]

Re Dutch. I like him but do not like him against Jays. He has to reprove himself as a playoff pitcher in my books

Moreland should be moved up in the lineup and Fielder down.

Yes.

 

[Duane1952]

Didn't touch him.

 

[DT LUNA]

Late calls usually mean indecision.

 

[Kelleyman]

Just let the player decide for the ump. SMH

 

[Duane1952]

Nice turn by Odor.
