    6-2 rangers.

    They have a beat up bullpen so wouldn't say that's a safe lead.

    In a game we are losing in the later innings .. I'm ok risking it defensively with Tucker instead of giving up a sure out every time Marwin bats. It's not like MarGo is even considered good defensively in LF

    Completely agree asking him to bat Right Handed is not gonna work if he doesn't think he can do it

    Perhaps it hasn't... or perhaps it never will.

    Either way, its Marwin's decision to do whatever he's most comfortable doing... and if he feels he has a better chance to bunt than see pitches and swing helplessly as a right-hander, so be it.

    Crush City needs to come into full effect. Really want that HFA against the Yanks.

    You're ignoring the fact that this all started with Marwin sac bunting a guy over to 3rd with 1 out instead of batting R/R.

    Let's start there, where we can cement stupidity in place as the baseline for this crap.

    Angels are pretty much done. Division just about wrapped up for the Rangers.

    Ok...that's reasonable... but I'm sure more would complain about Tucker playing LF for 3 innings vs. Marwin bunting. Also, while Marwin isn't "good", he certainly isn't considered bad as Tucker is.

    Angels already came back from being down 5 in this series... Astros can't get complacent. Let's go for win

    Angels had to win pretty much every game, and they did. Just can't get it done in the deciding game.

    Yes... Marwin will always bunt as a left-handed batter from here on out... unless he's just going to stand there and take pitches.

    He can't swing left handed... and apparently can't see right-handed pitches as a right-hander.

    That's his disability at the moment.

    9-2, runner on 2nd, still just one out.

    Yes, Astros need to take care of their own business.
