I really hope the Astros win the division and they go for the wild card instead of blowing it up. I think Rangers current group is at end of their run without reserves in the wings.
Speaking of small samples: We/Us struck out a lot last year, yes? We changed that from the FO on down. This year we make a whole lot more contact. Now we lead MLB in DPs.
I prefer the latter. For every DP that happens we seemingly get a few BABIP gifts like Bregman's bloop double the other day. Strikeouts nothing positive really happens; balls in play any number of positive events can happen.
Pitchers can breath a sigh of relief when Correa is up with a man on 3rd and less than 2 out. Beltran fails there as well but again the biggest failure there is on Correa. Cleanup batter can't be this bad.
Came through yesterday and was swinging well before that. Give him a few chances the rest of the series. I think he's coming around
He came through in a situation where for the most part the game was already decided. Pressure was off because they were already up 7-4. He's killing the team in higher pressure situations.
