    If he gets out of this only giving up 2, as much as it sucks to give up the lead you have to look at it in the positive.

    Mazara has been beating the shift all series. Maybe you guys should just play him straight up, just a thought.

    Hitting through the shift for the second time this inning.

    The Rangers are a lucky team.

    The Rangers organization has done a much better job of rebuilding on the fly with a mixture of veteran talent and young up and coming talent without having to be a dumpster fire for a decade plus.

    Wheels off... Yet again another instance of a lead not even lasting one out. The mental make up of this team vs the rangers is disgusting.

    It's maddening. Why not play at normal double-play depth? Shifting with runners on and less than 2 outs just doesn't make any sense to me.

    They invested in the draft and IFA, the Astros were not. BTW, our rebuilding effort didn't take close to a decade. Rebuild started in 2010.
