What we learned today:

Chas is an everyday player as much as Bregman and Altuve and not playing him as such is managerial malpractice

The turnaround of Jose Abreu appears to be complete and here to stay. And just in time.

The turnaround of Christian Javier also appears to be real and either he can be fixed or the shopping list just got longer. 
 

Brantley is likely done.

The All Star break can not get here fast enough

Never underestimate the heart of a champion. (Thanks Rudy. It still applies to baseball too)

Need to keep momentum into the break.

We followed up the 5-1 trip to Atlanta and Tampa with 3-8 against Philly/SF/Sea.  

Hoping for at least 4-2 for the rest of the week.

I grew up (and have been) a lifelong Rangers fan.

Yeah, I have a feeling you accidentally clicked on the Astros thread instead of the thread of hate.  If this was intentional, and you intend to participate in this thread in a similar manner, I doubt it’s going to go the way you think.

WBC fatigue seems to continue. Hope Javy just needs the AS break, but dip in velocity on his fb is concerning.

Dana needs to find a starter and OFer/bat. A reliever would be icing but prob too much to ask for the Farm system.

The “my team’s cheating is OK but any one else is horrible” syndrome is funnier with some fan bases than others but someone who supported the 2010s Rangers whose whole team was juiced to the tits on HGH and roids supplied by their drug dealing all star center fielder has to be top of the list.

Not to be confused with their previous PED drug dealing all star shortstop.

Glad to see King Tuck back to playing at an all-star level the last month or so. He was borderline awful in May, batting just .247 with an OPS under .700, and struck out (14) twice as many times as he walked (7).

Since then, he's been raking. .313/.900 in June and back to an even K/BB ratio.

The numbers get increasingly better if you look at the 15-day and 7-day trends.

Or at least force Dusty to play Chas more than twice a week. The fact Meyers had about 50 more ABs than Chas coming into this game infuriates me.

Astros have a mash unit roster right now and we’re 3 games back from the rangers having the best season in 10 years. Lulzzzz. We even suck and still have a shot. 6 straight alcs, 4 WS and 2 titles and they’re still on the “cheating” shit. Hahahaha. Cheaters would have never made the playoffs the next season. Poor babies.

Really need a 5-1 homestand heading into the break.

Never Settle!!!

 I was thinking how nice it'd be with our squad getting family time/ rested up after going into the break on an 8 game win streak.

could've been a real hangover game for us.  hopefully it's a hangover game for them now.

for texas to arrange their rotation (and lose a game to detroit in the process), then go 1-3 with losses vs blanco, dubin, and a shitty javier has got to sting.

get healthy, win games.  also if yainer can learn some plate discipline, he's gonna hit 30 bombs.  maybe he can work with bregs in the offseason.  the optimist in me says all these bench guys getting meaningful time will pay off later.  guess we'll see.

This team is at about 55%. We need Yordan and urquidy back, in a very and way 

need to trade for another BP arm

probably going to 6 man rotation in august 

not sure if we get another bat, it’s going  to be a tough market
