The future is now, old man: CWS @ TEX 8/4-7

[WastinSomeTime]

Miller is back.

At least Tavares, Smith and Thompson are in the lineup.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

wish we could take a chance on some of our prospect relief pitchers like Tinoco, Yerry Rodriquez, Chase Lee, Bueno, Anderson, Slaten, Wolfram or Tyler Thomas. none of them are or have burned down the farm but they have done enough to rate a chance up here

I know I mentioned Tinoco a few weeks ago. I think he should be back up here. He pitched well in his first 4 appearances then went 1 1/3 innings and gave up some runs.

At least Tavares, Smith and Thompson are in the lineup.

1/3 of the lineup being young guys is favorable.

I am just typing something here so that this post goes back to the top. I accidentally went into it thinking it was this one. I am old and easily confused.

I really wish they’d let Semien and Leody go 1-2
Then have Seager and Lowe 3&4 to drive in the speedster(s) that get on base.
Then reload with Adolis and Smith 5-6
Heim and Miller 7-8
Bubba 9th.

Foscue is at 3B again tonight for Frisco.

Good to have options. He kind of looks like a 3B to me

Foscue has homered again.

I wonder why they don't try him at 1B.

Leiter is pitching and the reliever Polley is in RF haven't seen this strategy go down in quite awhile...

I think the box score was in error to begin with. Now it shows he hasn't played and shows Zavala in RF.

Players who hit for multiple cycles in their careers

Hitting for multiple cycles in a career is one of the rarest feats in baseball. Only 29 Modern Era American or National League players have done it. Five of them have joined the group in the past five seasons: Trea Turner, Brock Holt, Christian Yelich, Freddie Freeman and Nolan Arenado.

Really nice game so far for Otto.
Know his ERA is pretty high but overall he's been good more often than he's been bad.
Not bad for a #5 starter.

I think it was Hank Blalock that hit for the cycle in back to back games while in the minors.

Leiter ran into trouble in the 5th, but they kept him in to get himself out of it. He did give up a couple of runs, the first since he gave up a HR to lead the game off.

Nice job by Thompson on that catch
