    Same ball out of the zone that Bregman was called out on twice.

    It was a ball and Hinch didn't come out to argue, he came out to save his star player from being ejected.

    Last one was outside.... And he was giving Harrell some extra rope when he didn't really deserve it (then again, Fister was getting it as well).

    So, Marwin can play the field... But will be bunting at the plate?

    Bregmans was even further out of the zone than Altuves

    It's like the team is still rebuild mode even though they were suppose to be contenders this year. Having to rely on prospects who are not ready. I'm sure Altuve is just pissed. Sucks he got thrown out but it's too much on him to try and carry this team all the time.

    True very true. So frustrating to see and no way Breg is going to say anything. I think that's also why Tuve lost it.

    No? And that last one pretty clearly off the plate, so who are you kidding?

    The best hitter or two in the game deserves more than 8 seconds before getting tossed on a pretty arguable 3rd strike. This isn't bull riding and nobody came to see the umps **** up left and right.

    Good point he has been carrying this team on the offensive side and now that springer is slumping a bit he's having to do it even more

    Inside of the ball touched outside of the black, according to the Rangers "PitchFX". That's all it takes. Like you said, can't take those pitches given what they've called all night.

    And again. Amazing what adding talent to a ML roster will do you to you.

    Valbuena hurt
    Marwin basically hurt
    Rasmus MIA
    Gomez worthless
    Gattis only valuable as a catcher
    Castro looks like a 55 year old

    It's not come together as it should. Sometimes GM's anticipate these things... Sometimes things don't go according to plan early enough that they can make adjustements... Sometimes, you get caught with your d*** in your hands hesitating to make a move before its too late.
