the broadcast both showed that she is really with child and that she was joking about having the baby for Ian Kinsler plays baseball. I did not know she was that kind of about to have a kid, does not look like she is going to make to July.

i thought 2B was his original position.
just looked it up, and he has played at 2B more than any other position in his MLB career, though played mostly 3B/RF in the minors.
Bogart
Footballguy
Huh, did not know that. If he keeps hitting like he is, OSB will find a spot to play him.
Bogart
Footballguy
Yeah, not much good to say, just wish the fix could be something besides "get healthy". A less than 100 percent Beltre and 3 rookies in the infield last night showed you just how beat up this team is right now. And that doesn't even mention the pitching staff.

two silver linings...
1. We get to see if Josh was right, and whether this is truly a baseball town now.
2. Maybe if it gets bad enough, we get a new manager.

I heard yesterday that Profar said he has never played outfield - not even in Little League. And now they are going to try to make him an MLB ready outfielder in one week? Good luck with that. I kind of feel bad for the kid.

Round Rock put up 12 runs last night, while only giving up 2. Granted it was to OKC (Houston), but maybe some of those hot bats could come up here for a while.
Personally, I think Profar will fair well in LF if needed, I just don't want to see him there everyday. I still want him at 2B/SS most days. Mix in a day occasionally to spell Beltre at third and he should be in the lineup everyday.

Every day? I can't see how. They aren't going to bench Kinsler/Elvis/Beltre more than once a week each (so that is three starts...tops). Only way he can double that is by 3+ starts in LF.

what a great win yesterday. so many good things over the last 4 innings, beginning with Robbie Ross in the 6th, coming in with the bases loaded and nobody out, and getting K/popup/K to escape with no more damage.
AJ with the single off a lefty in the 7th. Leonys outracing the pitcher to the bag. Kinsler's clutch hit to take the lead.
And then, of course, the game-ending gun-down at the plate

Yeah, basically the opening day lineup is back. That helps.
I just really want to get to a place where every other start isn't a Grimm or Tepesch start. I'm not sure how that is going to take place, however.

Went last night. Sucked. Seemed from where I was balls were hit hard but just right to the wrong spot.
And Murphy's body language says he's given up on life. :nofuneral:
Grimm wasn't awful. It was just one of those odd nights. I haven't looked at this, but I wouldn't be shocked to see the record after an off day be several under .500. Or maybe it's just confirmation bias

You have to think Murphy knows that any bat they trade for is going to be for his spot. Plus everyday as he sees Profar taking flies in the OF, he knows it's to take his place.Went last night. Sucked. Seemed from where I was balls were hit hard but just right to the wrong spot.

this year was Murphy's real chance to establish that he was a legitimate everyday option in the OF (for some team if not the rangers)...I wasn't expecting a return to last year's 2nd half, but somewhere around career 162 game averageYou have to think Murphy knows that any bat they trade for is going to be for his spot.

By all accounts, Manny studies, understands and works at hitting. He may be a goof ball, but dude could mash.Bogart said:

Yeah, that's what I'm wondering about too. I am starting to wonder if Ryan/JD are not so hot at finding top hitting coach talent. Maddux is ####### nails and lose him and I'm afraid the whole instruction stops on that side too.
Elvis is responding at least a little bit to being demoted to back of the order. And I say a little bit with a large *. It seems the only way they get production is monkeying with their minds, not actually coaching them out of a situation imo.
