    Remarkable what the Astros have done with Dusty's lineups and a trash bullpen.

    Dusty wasn't the one that made JP and Baliek pretty decent. The bullpen isn't trash. Just Montero and Stanek have been. Maton, Neris, Abreu, Pressly are still pretty damn decent.

    The only thing I give Dusty credit for is his faith in Dubon, but he really didn't have much of a choice .

    Maldy and Hensley sure did shine yesterday against the lefty pitcher

    Come on now. They rolled the lucky seven,
    0-7
    Now, if you put them together, collectively they’d be batting .285, not bad

    Texas starting pitching beginning to really wobble.

    Heaney - barely hanging on
    Dunning - smoke and mirrors
    Perez - can't shake his year long funk
    Gray - wobble wobble wobble
    Eovaldi - innings starting to add up

    Dodgers love playing in the Rangers ball park. Keep it going.

    Julks turned out better than I expected as well but his usage of Chas until recently was criminal.

    We really need to take advantage the next two games while the Rangers are getting beat down by the Dodgers. We gotta play hard and not let the bum A's win one game.

    Looking ahead, we will face Eovaldi, Gray and Heaney.

    The Rays are collapsing just like the yankees did last year.

    The Dodgers are absolutely destroying the Rangers so far in their series
