    The rally started with that Springer triple. Where's the poster talking bad about his at-bats? Must rep.

    Keuchel scratched from his Friday start vs Rangers.... tired arm.

    Supposedly he'll pitch a different game in the series.

    I didn't see the game, only radio. My guess is maybe it was his last game for the season in Houston. He usually does all the road games and fills in at home games for a couple of series each season. Could it have been that this is the last home series he is doing this season, or did they specifically say he was not broadcasting Astros games any longer?

    The rangers have Joboo vodoo magic right now. That team just keeps winning. I'd love to win the series with them but

    In regards to Blum.

    He was looking at houses in Houston three weeks ago.

    I bet Brownie is about to retire.

    Complete speculation.

    This might be the case. That goodbye seemed a little too sentimental for it to just be a season ender.

    Today's win was quite Rangeresque, scoring 3 runs after the third out and all. Lol

    I am talking about Brown. He could retire after this season.

    Of all AL pitchers with 90+ innings, Devenski is far and away the leader in ERA with a 2.22. Fulmer from Detroit is second at 2.69. Devenski also leads with a 0.94 WHIP.

    Unfortunately, if it was a pitcher, it would be Fulmer.
