[Official] Rangers @ Astros

Yesterday's game was the one that was there for the taking and so was this one.

standing pat.

 

Same old story.....Harris and a lead off walk. Those are normally going to score.

 

I see why we didn't make a trade at the deadline. We suck at trading. #RegretGilesTrade

 

Correa has booked his vacation ticket early I guess.

 

What makes me mad every time I watch the horrid of an offense is when Lunhow said the other day "we feel we have the team to win it all right now" if he and the front office think that then this team will always be mediocre

 

Rangers fans are the absolute worst

 

The no trades, losing series at home versus Toronto and Texas, and you can feel it slip away.

 

At this point it's just being realistic. This team can't score runs, it was obvious before the trade deadline, but our front office thought we had the pieces now to make a run at it. Sadly, casual fans understood that was not the fact more so than highly paid professionals. Really goes to show what kind of embarrassing people Crane has in charge of running his club.

 

That's the season I think

 

Why couldn't we face the rangers when we were hot and they were struggling. Now, once again, the rangers smack us. Tired of seeing this. Might as well forfeit the rest of the year. You don't deserve respect when you let your instate rival dominate and humiliate you all season long.

 

Can we get rid of this $**ty batting coach?

 

What's sad is that they have been struggling Astros have just been struggling worse

 

what brought future exactly? Our noway 1b prospect has been awful, bregman is still a question mark, I said all along we have to make moves

 

Sad, funny, true.

Pitching has to be perfect because the offense sucks. Musgrove pretty much went toe to toe with Darvish, couldn't ask for much more. Darvish got a run, Musgrove nothing. Then the craptastic bullpen did their thing.

They knew what they were doing they just hoped nobody else did.

 

You have a bunch of unproven and never will be players in the lineup, and you want to blame the hitting coach?

How about your GM recognizes that professional hitters aren't always acquired via draft/development. In fact, they're already pushing the odds by having 3 all-star caliber hitters who were home-grown (most teams don't have that sort of track record).

As soon as Valbuena went down and Rasmus went into the toilet, they should have been looking to upgrade. Not stand pat.

 

Kemp is what this team has needed but no, they called up Tucker instead.....

 

Kemp says " nothing to it ya p*****s!"

 

Springer the hero?

 

Kemp deserves 4 starts in a row for that AB alone.
