[Irish Wrist Watch 1,503]

Somebody teach these shitheads how to play a bounce off the wall. This has been going on all year.

Yup. Relievers man

[Get ln My Van 934]

Guzman is slowly becoming my favorite Ranger, sans Beltre

[Sgt Hulk 14,471]

This team blows a lot of cock wow

[El Diablo 4,232]

We suck.

[Dr Fear 1,290]

The Rangers are a -110 favorite tonight against the Tigers with Matt Moore on the hill.  How is that freakin' possible?

Take the over??

Went to Saturday's game. Almost comical how bad the fielding was. Gallo was the lone bright spot besides the Dilly Dog I ate. 

[DougO 5,269]

I picked a good weekend to have other stuff to do.

[Pato del Muerto 53,603]

Hope they can do something good with the high draft picks they will be awarded over the next few years. 

But im sure they will spend them on Monty ferriss and drew meier again. 

[Jameslaw121 4,498]

You know how Martin has that one inning a game he melts down in? Moore is like watching that, only every inning.....

[EastTexan 673]

Don't look now. Rangers win.

Thursday tricked me and I got sucked into the pit of hope. FML.

[Irish Wrist Watch 1,503]

Nice comeback. DeShields speed was critical. Mazara coming along.

Profar really hitting the ball lately

[Jameslaw121 4,498]

I think Desheilds is becoming my favorite player this year.

Agreed! 

[Dr Fear 1,290]

I REALLY hate the bunt there.

[TheFlagship 466]

Maz!!!

[EastTexan 673]

Mazara walk off!

[Get ln My Van 934]

Mazara has been raking. Think him, Gallo and Guzman will be a good foundation going forward. DeShields too.

[TheFlagship 466]

This team has definitely been more fun to watch since Delino came back. Guy is an on base machine.

Sounds like Odor should be back this weekend, and then hopefully Calhoun gets called up soon.

Would love to see this lineup at some point, at least until Elvis is back.

CF Delino

2B Odor

RF Maz

3B Beltre

LF Gallo

DH Calhoun

C Chirinos

SS Profar

1B Guzman

 

 

[TheFlagship 466]

Hamels has been solid his last few starts (sorry for the inevitable jinx)

[EastTexan 673]

Hell yea! Stros shut out! They suck!

[Pato del Muerto 53,603]

Verlanders last 2 starts against Texas he’s pitched great and has nothing to show for it because his team was 1 hit both times. 

[TheFlagship 466]

Just like that we’re 4-4 against South Texas this year. Let’s do it again tomorrow

Guzman has been impressive with glove. When he starts hitting (hopefully) he will be a fixture at 1st.

Fuck Houston

Wow -went back and looked. He's 4-2 in 9 games. Only one game where he didn't make it to six and (the same) only one game where he had more than 2 ERs. He's had a loss or ND in 4 games where he went at least 6 innings and gave up 1 run or less - two of those games were 8 innings..

 

 

Jesus

[Irish Wrist Watch 1,503]

If Odor can't get his head in the game, he needs to head back down to the minors . Was it Saturday, with the bases loaded, that he swung at a 3-2 pitch in the dirt? Kiner is batting .245. Odor .195

 

Too many dead spots in the lineup. Gallo sucking wind. Rua getting some wood on the ball, but nothing to show for it. Get Elvis back and move Profar to LF or 3rd base.

[Vic Mackey 48,029]

Safe to say 2016 was a flash in the pan for Odor. 

[DougO 5,269]

A hitter like Odor is the exact opposite of what they need in the lineup right now. He can be fun to watch, but frustrating for the most part.

[Hornstrader 189]

There is no reason a pitcher ever needs to throw a pitch in the strike zone to Odor. Absolutely no plate discipline.3 breaking balls in the dirt and he strikes out. I would much rather see IKF at the plate in a big situation. 

[Vic Mackey 48,029]

Josh Hamilton laughs at Odors plate discipline.

[TheFlagship 466]

Can Bartolo be our All-Star? 

[Jameslaw121 4,498]

He should be.

 

BTW: this FB announcing crap sucks. They're aren't talking about the game hardly at all. Sounds like an MLB podcast with a game on in the background.

 

 

[TheFlagship 466]

7 shutout innings by the fat man! He’s easily the best thing about this season. Watching him in the ASG would be hilarious and amazing.

and yeah the Facebook thing needs to die 

[EastTexan 673]

F FB! And astros!

Hamels scratched with a neck injury. Get a better pillow Cole!

[Jameslaw121 4,498]

Guessing they bring ABD up if they need a start from someone???

[TheFlagship 466]

I know we suck, but fuck these shitty umps.

 

[TheFlagship 466]

Jesus odor

[dcar00 14,997]

horrible.  ump choked.  then Odor proceeds to swing at a 1-0 pitch up after the reliever for chisox walked the previous batter and is all over the zone.

Odor's contract is going to be another anchor around our necks just when we had a chance to get out from under Choo's.

Fucking Leclerc was born to lose. He gets a fucking dribbler, takes a lazy windup, much as you might see had the ball been hit sharply to him, realizes it's a close play and, although a normal throw STILL would have sufficed, he slings a fucking slider at 95mph that coulda killed the runner  had it hit him in the head. Born to fucking lose mentality.

He can't stand to get ahead in the count. He sets himself and the team up to lose. His head's not in the game.

Odor needs to sit for a week.

Edited May 18, 2018 by Irish Wrist Watch

[TheFlagship 466]

I mean Leclerc struck the dude out but got jobbed by the ump. He’s been good this year 

[Trey3216 15,453]

Bascik was talking about Odor the other day and I think he's dead on.  It seems that anytime Odor gets ahead in the count, 1-0/2-0/2-1, he decides he's going to swing before the ball is even pitched because "they have to throw me a strike".  Well, they're throwing him shit pitches behind in the count and he swings at them everytime.  It's mind-numbing.  

[TheFlagship 466]

These are two terrible baseball teams.

At least the Sox have a good farm system to look forward to
