    Something about the road the Astros just have no confidence you can see it in their faces

    Man get the hell out of this forum tonight

    I'm someone that has even kind of stood up for you as a fan

    You are no longer a fan, for tonight

    You said we lost, and we would see you tomorrow

    Not get the hell out. Sick and Tired of your negativity everytime we have a poor start

    Doesn't necessarily have to be on this current team... could have always been a trade piece... or a possible injury fill-in (would have rather had him than Pressley).

    Just stupid to lose him for nothing... Luhnow has said about as much (he didn't expect him to stick in the majors, and they'd have then gotten him back).

    And despite his only average CF (not terrible), still with a better WAR than Marisnick thus far.

    De shields is a pest.

    Nick Martinez is going to get burned. Horrible command. Throwing 88-91 isn't going to help either.

    I have a feeling we will have a big night when we stop being so damn aggressive.

    Yea we wouldn't have a place for him, but I think people kind of wish we had him as an asset, or used him more as an asset instead of just losing him

    But this organization has WAY more success stories than ones like Deshields

    Nick Martinez is not a bad pitcher. He gets a lot of ground balls and pitches to contact. Nothing flashy but very effective when he's locating his pitches.

    Yea i've been to both parks, MMP a lot more obviously. Rangers have a nice park too

    But like Nick said, why would you spend all that money and still have a park where the heat index is over 100 at gametime. Stupid for your team, and your fans.

    MMP all day long

    I love this team but these horrible starts by these pitchers is unacceptable.

    We will win this game…I think we'll end up scoring 7 or 8 runs.

    Gives up over a hit an inning and then a terrible K/BB ratio. He is luck to have an era barely over 4

    We should blast him, just struggling badly on the road right now, and it's gotten mental for some of them I would assume

    It really is hot in Arlington. I went to Minute Maid a couple of weeks ago and was pleasantly surprised by the climate. The roof was closed and A/C on. It was a beautiful park and I really enjoyed it. Only thing at least for me. It seemed pretty quiet in there compared to Arlington.
