Baseball is great when you have no skin in the game. 

[Shaggy3.0 1695]

[perfectchaos007 6673]

We give Pressley shit sometimes but I would take him as our closer 10 times out of 10 over Chapman

[cabowabo 4487]

Dumbfuck should have kept running.

[Overlord 366]

Remember, Dusty wanted Chapman bad.

[HtownHorn 14724]

Horrible defensive alignment, you weren't throwing Moore out on a single. You need to playing on the track.

Good Framber

Angels show up tonight

Jet lagged rangers sleepless in to seattle

Astros 1 game back by Friday morning

 

Too bad Angels didn’t show up last night 

[Overlord 366]

If the Rangers felt pressure in this game, just wait until it’s a playoff game with everything on the line. 
 

And that is exactly why we have the upper hand on all these scrub teams. 
 

We’ve been there.

you mean like "no doubles"?   haha

[Overlord 366]

Sorry Texas. 
 

I bet they’re putting the champagne away as I write this. 

[HtownHorn 14724]

3 games to go

Rangers ---- 89-70

Astros   ----  87-72

Mariners --- 86-73

[David Dennison 18922]

I hope we're in the reality where Arlington misses the playoffs.

I think the only way that happens results in the mariners winning the division.(we win 2, mariners sweep: tiebreaker = mariners 1st, Astros 2nd, rangers 3rd). All other scenarios, Rangers do no worse than 2nd

I think I’d rather them get in and we get a chance to play at least a game in Arlington and end their season there.

Or we can just go ahead and sweep.

Obviously it worked out for them but how did Servais not pr for Raleigh?

But rangers wouldn’t miss the playoffs.

but yeah, Astros sweep and rangers losing 2 or all 3 is what I want and let them have fun in Minny

Even if they lose the next three games?

Am I missing a tie breaker or something?

Last night took an L, but tonight I bounce back
Wake up every morning, by the night, I count stacks
Knew that ass was real when I hit, it bounce back

those days off would be ideal 

[UTHornFan014 710]

While I enjoy watching Chapman melt down, I would have preferred the Rangers win. Would have made our path to the playoffs easier. This just makes it a more likely possibility that we end up with the same record as the Mariners.

[runthebone 8013]

Astros better take care of business.  I am also a pessimist it's good for the Mariners to win.  

 

I'm sure a Brown Javier Urquidy start will be great in a must win game.

Individually that would be scary, but combine them into 3 and make it known that they are all pitching and instead it is… terrifying.

Is there a scenario where Astros win division and Arlington misses playoffs? In laymen’s terms. I’m not good at math. I’ll hang up and listen.

I don’t think we can have both of those but somebody could correct me.

Does 2nd place mean for sure we are a Wild Card team?  

While the Ranger collapse was fun last night, it probably slightly dinged are playoff chance which is still pretty high.  With this Astros team, I'm not confident at all about anything that might happen against Arizona.

Yes.

These 4 teams are battling for 3 spots:

toronto

houston

seattle

texas

 

So finishing 2nd guarantees it.

finishing 3rd it gets dicey because we have to finish ahead of toronto (who is currently 1 game up and who gets Tampa with nothing to play for ) thanks to losing the season series by 1 game against them (I’ll use this opportunity to point out that the only game Bregman hasn’t played in this year was the 2nd to last game in the season series against Toronto. A game we lost 3-2 when Kessinger went 0 for 3 #Dusty’ed)

but never tell me the odds.
