[Rustic Horn 929]

Fuck yeah Gattis!

[cabowabo 4514]

Got damn Gattis. 

[UDontKnow 10450]

Is it still the plan to DFA Gattis?

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Gattis must read Surly

[Fudge Nuggets 19227]

Gattis for Series MVP and it isn’t close.

Matt Moore is not good. Someone go tell our guys. 

Appreciate it.

Sexy Stassi.

Gattis is my favorite player today, so far

Ordinarily I'd say yes. But right now I think we need to have him playing 2B.

[Mez2 4025]

Jake has never met a rally he isn't interested in stopping

Maybe not. Jake on the other hand...

[Fudge Nuggets 19227]

Can’t spell Jake Marisnick without two K’s.

[tx 3 putt 77542]

wow 

[runthebone 8047]

Marisnick would need to agree to go to AAA to unfuck himself, right?

Guess who’s ready to see 3 more Astros homeruns today?



This guy!

I was scrolling through the page when this pic loaded and only got a quick glance.  At first I thought it was a pants less albino midget showing off his guns. 

[Gut Wagon 8087]

Another 5-3 by Altuve? Color me not shocked any more. Dude is messed up.

He's closer to dropping under. 300. Wonder when the last time that happened in the middle of the season.

[Gut Wagon 8087]

He's been pulling a lot of away pitches into left-side groundouts. That's not so much like him. 

[Tommy Nobis 905]

We’re only 25% of the way through the season. I’ll worry once we hit the mid way point if he’s still in a funk.

 

[Gut Wagon 8087]

I guess we all expect him to pull out of it. He’s obviously a much better hitter than this. What makes it harder to accept is the number of close games we’ve lost with him not contributing much at the plate.

 I'm not worried about him. He'll probably hit .400 in June and get back into Altuve territory. 

[Gut Wagon 8087]

Once again...please cut this bum! 

[UTexasFight 9549]

As I was saying, I can't wait for them to cut Gattis. 

We need to start doing this for a few others
Every time we jump on a guy en masse, he finally turns the corner..

Except Jake. He’s just who he is

[UTexasFight 9549]

Decent outing by Keuchel. Good to see.

2 baserunners in the last 5 innings by my count.

[TexArcher 38076]

The Rangers broadcasters are still the worst in baseball.  Lowell Galindo would be an improvement.

However...

It's damn good fun listening to these dipshits on a day when the Rangers offense is completely limp.

Edit: Also, Arlington is making a Han Gallo bobblehead.  Han Solo's torso and Joey Gallo's head.  No shit.

Another 6-3 for Altuve. Same song, 100th verse.

[Scraps 13583]

2 baserunners in the last 5 innings by my count.

Keuchel hasn't sucked as much as people around here want to think. He gave up bombs to Oakland after starting the game perfect through like 4 innings. He is down to 3.10 era.

He just doesn't strike out 12 a game and doesn't have a era under 2 so he sucks i guess.

[Scraps 13583]

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

Fun to watch when this offense is hitting

[TexArcher 38076]

Rangers' broadcaster:

"Oh boy. 

Yep, way gone."

[Scraps 13583]

Nice catch Soo

[Scraps 13583]

Pink fits the Rangers...they should wear these unis full time

Oh how the Rangers have fallen. Fuck Arlington.

He's one of the better pitchers in MLB, obviously. Not a flamethrower, but when he's on, he's mighty good. I do think that with his Cy Young win and position as one of the veterans on the staff, people expect a bit more of him than he delivered in April. Whether that's fair or not is another matter. I suspect the spectacular start by Cole, Morton and Verlander has made Keuchel seem like less than what he generally is.

Gallo looks like the dust covered peanut M&M I found when cleaning under the couch the other day. 

[DoobieWah 1467]

Boy that was stupid.

 

Yay!

[Scraps 13583]

Beltre is a HOfer and all but he has looked like a fucking moron this whole series lol

[Gut Wagon 8087]

Fisher needs to be sent down in the middle of this AB.

[clapclapclap 9000]

BTW, happy Pepto Bismol Day!

[Fudge Nuggets 19227]

Jake is ass 

[Mo Horn 8855]

 Jake should be DFA'd between innings

[Gut Wagon 8087]

I haven't even bothered to try the reverse jinx on him. I just don't think it's strong enough.

Mine wasn't a reverse jinx. Just a statement of fact

[Fudge Nuggets 19227]

Outs is outs, but good lord Fisher...

[Gut Wagon 8087]

If that peckerwood was going to get on base anyway, might as well have beaned him.

[cabowabo 4514]

Tony Fucking Sipp. 

[Fudge Nuggets 19227]

Sipp didn't screw up.  I'll take it. 

[Scraps 13583]

Brad peacocks kids name is seriously Cotton Peacock?

Umm ok

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

Altuve 0 for the series
