    Can't keep blaming this on luck. Their team/organization is just better. Astros organization needs to be taking notes.

    Gomez. Beltran. Lucroy.

    Who's your daddy, Astros?? Owned.

    But I'm sure Fresno is on the path to another championship.

    But I fully expect 3/4 of those guys playing well against us. Gomez was the exception, but even he's joining the bandwagon of beating up on us. 3/4 of our best players have more often than not been disappointing against Texas.

    Gomer looks like he is taking to some type of coaching since he left here too. Shorter swing, more under control.

    They have the perfect mix of vets and young guns. We need a few hard nosed vets to compliment our younger core. Encarnacion and Ramos? Can't just depend on in-house development.

    Listening to talk radio, reading this board, looking on Twitter etc. saying the Rangers dominance is just a bunch of luck. That's stupid to think that at this point. They are just kicking their ass and they are bending over and taking it at this point.

    Rangers are lucky they get to play us 20 times/year I guess.

    Exactly. Astros learning some hard lessons getting their asses whopped like this that they have to change their approach of just depending on the farm mainly.

    So nobody was warming up when it was obvious after 2 innings that Fister was throwing bp tonight? Did Hinch not see this coming? We have extra arms in the pen right now for this reason!

    No, you're assuming they are learning.
