Seems like a pretty good deal for the Rangers

 

That’s an amazing deal for the Rangers considering what the Astros just gave up for a fringey RP.

Rangers want to win now and if Scherzer helps them its worth it their eyes. They are tired of being our bitch

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

They are still our bitch

[cabowabo 4484]

These fucking announcers need to STFU.

That all depends on how he pitches in October.

[Guest]

Announcers have been fine tonight.

Then they bemoaned the possibility of the human element being removed from called balls & strikes. " Don't go full robot."

Fuck that.  There is nothing gotdam endearing about the human element in that regard.

[Smax 3800]

right, fuck the human element and its bias and game changing incorrect calls. As a fan I can not wait till mlb gets rid of the HPU

What the fuck are these guys talking about?

[WBT 20571]

Benetti is pretty good.  And for once we're on Fox and not stuck with Pyrzynsky

[rvm96 1643]

I've never seen Tucker so animated after an out.

[Wulaw Horn 19070]

The difference in ops between maldy and Diaz is equivalent to that between Mike trout for his career and Kevin Bass for his career. 

[perfectchaos007 6642]

Abreu!

[rvm96 1643]

My man Abreu!

[HtownHorn 14681]

Fuck. We screwed for the next week.

[Guest]

Find that stride, brother Abreu.

This battlestation is becoming more operational...

[HtownHorn 14681]

If Abreu gets to 20 HRs I will upvote rvm for a week.

[Make em eat Taco Bell 1549]

11 runs with Altuve, Bregman, and Tucker 0-10.

I wish Diaz knew how to call a game. So Hunter brown could have a 5 era with him like he does maldonado. This is bullshit watching him deal. 

same pitching plan as yesterday, I’m guessing 

trigger warning :

 

Spoiler

Per radio, graveman is very excited to be back with Maldonado. He wants him to watch video and rework is pitching plan.

Don’t do Kevin Bass like that. One of the greatest mustache’s in baseball history.

[David Dennison 18860]

OK. That's enough.

[HtownHorn 14681]

That should be it for Brown.

I had the exact same thought when I was heard them talking about that

[WBT 20571]

Good game for Brown.  Hopefully he's back on track.

Well, we do have 8 real MLB players in the lineup tonight as opposed to 2 or 3.

No. Just someone astros fans would know as an ok player. 

[HtownHorn 14681]

This lineup could fuck in the post-season, but the real problem is injuries. The fall-off is steep. I'd still give a shot to Gilbert over Meyers if we don't acquire another bat, but injuries scare the shit out of me.

 

Dusty just found his out for tomorrow, Diaz can't hit position players.

[WBT 20571]

Lulz, that was crushed

[rvm96 1643]

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

Meyers showing for the scouts! Take our centerfielder! Please!

[WBT 20571]

Lulz at Bregman taking all the way on 3-0 then bombing on 3-1

[HtownHorn 14681]

This is fucking embarrassing for the sport, but I will take it. We needed some good + run differential.

[WBT 20571]

Put in a real pitcher dipshits

Jake has more trade value than people here think- I think.  If that’s true we should move him for someone decent in a walk year. I wouldn’t give him away for nothing.

It’s awesome. I love it. Enjoy the 3 or 4 innings a year we get to see it.

Uncomfortable seeing him get bombed, but holy furk...  Y'all wanna spare your pen, then pay the price, motherfuckers.

[UTexasFight 9444]

We don’t need backup catchers to give up dongs!

His ERA is 45.00, lulz

[Guadaloopy 10970]

Bumper music back from break on radio was Dido’s “White Flag.”    Golf clap.   

[WBT 20571]

Look at this graph and explain to me why we have to go through this farce to save the bullpen in every game that gets lopsided.

[Gut Wagon 8069]

Fiery Pinto crash 

[Limp Brisket 546]

Flexing and ruining a national broadcast is satisfying.

[HtownHorn 14681]

We found Diaz's kryptonite. LHP and position players.

[Guest]

Go Padres!!!

[UTexasFight 9444]

End this game.

this is painful to listen to now

[David Dennison 18860]

Position player in the 7th, Diekman in the 8th.

Wat?

So that dip for pitchers in the 70's is because of one guy from Alvin,  right?
