Who do we have left for middle-infield depth outside of Simmons and Barreto now?

[Chuck]

Soto, Jones or Alcantara most likely. 

Paris and Jackson are too young. 

I would love to see Rojas get a shot at 1B over Walsh. 

Who's with me?

[eligrba4ever]

TBS TV will be Joe Simpson and Ron Darling.

We win three straight games to cut our deficit to 6.  A win today and we cut it to 5 and have a distinct possibility to grab the Wes #2 spot.  And what happens?  We sit Trout!

[Lou]

Thank God we have Simmons.

[Angel Oracle]

How soon before Fletcher will return?

The minimum 10 days DL stay, or a lot longer?

It's another 100-plus day. He played in it 14 innings Saturday. He gets a second day off Monday. Then it's the rigors of the air-conditioned building in Arlington. 3 straight at about 72 degrees indoors. Snow is expected in Denver on Tuesday BTW. It might still be around next weekend.

How the hell was that a hit?

[eligrba4ever]

Stassi is back and still throwing strikes.

He was the DH in the 2nd game yesterday.

Remember when people were complaining why we got another middle-infielder instead of a pitcher in the La Stella trade? Now we have Barreto, Simmons and then practically nobody.

[eligrba4ever]

It's a dry heat where baseballs don't always return to earth without exiting the field.

[Lou]

Holy fuck, these have to be the most boring announcers I've ever heard. 

[Angel Oracle]

One bad pitch to Tucker, yet another two outs, two strikes hit given up

Bright side, Barria is hitting 94 on the radar.

That’s why no one here has a future as a GM.

[eligrba4ever]

On the flip side of the heat, this might be an ideal 660 day.

At least the game is in real time. The MLBTV show with Vic and Gubi is running delayed at least 2 minutes. Online, the homer was hit about 35 seconds ago.

Yeah, who cares about that? So we get to be bored in real time. Sweet.

Many people here could hit mute, have the game notes and do their own. Prevents boredom.

[rafibomb]

Down 3-0, we have them right where we want them

[eligrba4ever]

Kayrap!!! 3-0 on another hot-air shot.
