    Now Beltran. Their two big pickups are the difference so far.

    No way you'd expect the Rangers to be shut out in 2 straight games.

    Castro shouldn't be an everyday catcher.

    Damn it. New players scoring both runs for the Rangers. Hurts more.

    Why don't you do this in the 2nd inning of every game?

    You know what would really psyche out Beltran? NOT booing him. The guy never deserved it.

    Lead off walks are never good. Hope that isn't the difference in the game.

    A 90 is a quarter turn Ash.

    How many times did the Stros have the bases loaded? How many runs did they score?

    The rangers own us so it will be. Expecting the Astros to be clutch against the rangers is a waste of time.

    And in similar fashion, the Astros shouldn't have to rely solely on 3-4 hitters in a 9 man lineup to account for nearly all the production on a nightly basis.

    Lineup construction brutal right now... Sure, a lot of it is injury-based, but you simply can't rely on AAA-only guys or guys still trying to figure it out/make adjustments... When you're trying to win now.

    One measly run off Harrell, who was awful.

    Outfield arms have been great though.
