just looked at the poll on the team site about which minor leaguer intrigues fans the most.
No shock that Neftali is at the top or even that Andrus is 2nd. Howeber JMJ 3rd at 15% slightly ahead of Dutch at 14% made me chuckle.

So, anybody hear from Adam?
We’re expecting to lose power sometime tomorrow in Tyler. I’m also going to be going to work in a strong tropical storm/low-grade hurricane, but let’s not start on that.

Still have power, although we expect to lose it in the next couple of hours, and expect it will be out for 24-36 hours.

Should just be high wind and a lot of rain tonight, but nothing that, where I live, should be that dangerous. Probably lose power for a while, and there’s a chance of some windows breaking because of wind blowing debris, but there shouldn’t be anything worse than that.

My house I live in now didn’t flood in Allison, so we should be fine here.

Lineup is virtually the same as last night
Arias 2B
Young SS
Hamilton CF
Byrd LF
Cruz RF
Blalock 1B
Laird C
Davis 3B
Tea DH
One of the things that’s been bugging me though, is why not use the DH spot to get Hamilton off the field for a game or two and get Boggs some playing time while Bradley is out? Laird has started the last three games in a row now.

whenever he connects on a homer, it’s beautiful to watch. But I don’t think those connect-fours can make up for his whiff’s and ground outs in crucial situations

Well
If the manager is juggling the rotation to accommodate a pitcher — particularly to accommodate a pitcher who has been less than reliable this year, at that pitcher’s request — isn’t it reasonable to ask why that’s being done?

Warsh's stance
is probably another veteran over a rookie kinda situation….just like his reasoning for hitting Byrd/Laird/Cruz/Murphy higher than Davis. And in Padilla’s case I support Wash’s decision MUCH more than his Davis shenanigans

Wash seems to be implying that, if Padilla doesn’t get to pitch on the day he wants to pitch, his neck my start hurting again.

ya think?
So you’re thinking Warsh subscribes to EG’s theory of wussing out against tougher competition? Or just that the way the injuries have gone thus far a recurrence could happen at any moment?

Just guessing...
But I wouldn’t be surprised if Wash thought Padilla is something of an unreliable headcase, and that if they don’t let him pitch when he wants to pitch, they don’t know if he will pitch, or how well he’ll pitch, when they want him to.
