    Altuve
    Bregman
    Alvarez
    Abreu
    McCormick
    Brantley
    Pena
    Tucker
    Maldonado

    Tucker is really really struggling. He needs to be down in the order until he gets a hit and even further down against lefties.

    Well, in that photo that hand placement is like a brother or father type thing. Any higher and it becomes a whole other ball of wax. With emphasis on ball. lol

    I understand what youre saying but the last thing this run should be is depressing. Go to games home and away, buy gear, go to watch parties, talk **** on social media, attend fan appreciation events, etc etc. Take it all in and enjoy it

    The Run Differential at home vs on the road is insane. The bats just snooze at MMP. Seriously, like this team needs the booing / yelling of cheater etc for comradery reasons and they seem to come alive on offense...everyone contributes. It's crazy.

    Last night was probably the best the offense has ever looked in a postseason game. Rangers were lucky the score wasn't 15-5 or something.

    Tucker had a GREAT night at the plate last night. But just let him ride in the 6 spot and I think he hits a patented rainbow 10 rows deep into the RF bleachers tonight.

    Moving him back after just 1 game is a mistake let him build on his success for a few games.

    I think if it's anything more than simple variance, the players might play tighter at home than on the road. Generally, in baseball being relaxed is what you want. Players tend to play worse the more pressure you put on them because they are more likely to play tight and press.

    He said Rangers fans behaved worse in Houston than in Arlington.

    Good to hear his voice. Great Houstonian.

    Our task in Arlington is half done.

    Lets finish it and move to a best 2 of 3.

    Its okay, I just find it a bit comical they don't translate what he says.... I know they aren't going to translate word for word on live tv plus they aren't professional translators but at times they literally didn't even summarize.. They just said what ever they thought fit well with the question. I like Big Papi thou...

    I feel like that is the first time I've seen Brantley run since he was in Cleveland.
