[Official] Rangers @ Astros

There are a select few RP you give big money to...the rest are such a crapshoot year-to-year that it seems best to take the shotgun, throw spaghetti at the wall, approach

 

That and stranding bases loaded with no outs

 

Part of it is stupidity of Espada.

 

Astros suck in day games, 1 run games, 2 run games and extra inning games. All of them are type of games that require a manager to lead them.

 

Too much hero ball.

Just make contact and pass the baton.

Stop with the hail Mary attempt.

 

Missed their opportunities to sweep this series.
Eovaldi and Max can be elite when the moment matters, when they pitch against Houston they definitely crank it up.
No shame is losing to those 2, but we need Kyle back asap along with a trade.

 

We just always choke against the rangers

 

Scherzer is not elite anymore.

 

Jim Crane putting in work..

 

Allowed them 4 runs on 3 hits

 

We would have never even seen Montero if this didn’t happen.

Our leverage guys have pitched way too much so far this season. Abreu is one of the league leaders and Hader isn’t far behind him. Bringing them in for the 3rd time in 4 days to pitch in a game we were losing wasn’t a good decision.

Edit: Pena with that sorry ass throw in the first inning also didn’t help.

 

Losers of two out of the last 3 series. Good job Astros. ****ing losers.

 

2 losses - 7 hits total surrendered

Hasn't happened since '95

Umps screwed the Astros yesterday, even with replay.

Still happy the team has turned the season around and only 1-2 games behind at the ASB.

We need a starter and perhaps another hitter via trade. More health would be welcomed too.
.

 

Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you enjoy the play?

 

I think you left a few other sports metaphors out of your mixtape.

 

14-28 in games of 2 runs or fewer

But here is the real kicker, pay attention.

The Astros are a dominant 36-18 in all other games.

We aren't the White Sox or the Marlins. Where you just chalk up close losses to just being a crappy team.

You cannot equate those 2 records and come up with anything but one conclusion and one conclusion only.

19-8 in the last 27 games
5-5 in games decided by 2 runs or fewer
14-3 in all other games

The trend continues, even with a scorching red hot Astros team.

 

My conclusion is you are a ****ing moron.

 

With 4 days off? Montero???

 

I think Spencer might get injured if you do that.

 

Sliver Boot Series is 3-0 this year -- the MORE DESPERATE TEAM avoided losing each time.

First two series, Astros were the desperate team -- they won the final two games.

This series, Arluckton was more desperate -- they won the final two games.

My only real problem is the umps completely botched the Dubon call. THAT was *outright* hatred/favoritism, which ever way you wanna look at it.
