    Swept them 4-0 in the playoffs to eliminate them last year. A 4-0 sweep this weekend and their fans will begin considering them eliminated from making the postseason this season.

    But those guys did a lot more damage on the other pitches. Pena struck out on the slider but the first 2 strikes were fastballs right over the plate and he just looked at em.

    Rangers look like they are rushing Seager back trying to keep pace with the Astros after the sweep.

    On the surface seems like a panic move. Say what you will about how the Astros and Dusty handle injuries, no matter how far behind we got in the standings they took their time before getting guys back into games. Eyes on the long game.

    The Rangers are terrified of our footsteps. We will overtake them with ease.

    It will be interesting to see the umpire scorecard on this one.

    The first horribly bad calls eventually led to a Tucker single, a Bregman walk and an Abreu single. So, they weren't negatively impactful.

    He had amazing batted ball luck just to hit .270 given his sky high strikeout rate, and now that luck's turned against him.

    Yeah it’s important to get 3/4 vs the yanks. Baltimore could very easily take 2/3. I saw that the Astros have the easier schedule compared to the rangers. After looking at what’s left, I don’t see how? Royals the reason?

    Never really got the "Fire Cashman" crowd from New York, but basically standing pat at the trade deadline instead of going all in or selling at their record is malpractice.
