Yes, I really think the entire season is a disaster. Thanks

New day today, win the game today, take the series and head back home on a good note. 

You know what else would be good? A nice 7 run win

And some snatch.

[mbtex 683]

Need to bring Beltran back as assistant hitting coach.

I've got a batch of cyanide pills that I will distribute this afternoon should the unthinkable happen.

Am I just missing it but where is the Houston/Arlington hate thread?

[mbtex 683]

I'll be glad when Yuli gets back.

[Fozzz 152]

Thankfully it doesn't appear that his surgery has sapped him of any power as he's been knocking the shit out of the ball in Corpus.

What is the color scheme on the lineup card? Players in red, blue?

Rangers aren't relevant enough to be discussed around here with their 10 fans and all

[TonyTexas 10,516]

Pretty nice return. Crane bought the team in 2011, paying $610 million. Financed $220 million. Almost quadrupled his equity investment in 7 years.

And they said baseball is dying.

 

$1.65 billion and #11!

[uoftorange 1,386]

And he'd very likely get 2+ if he sold it

Show me a loss! 

[Mez2 4,024]

on the bright side correa can't hit into a double play here? 

[Mez2 4,024]

situational hitting!

[Honeysucklerose 990]

There we go! 1-0.

[Mez2 4,024]

should've been two but when you suck the way we suck right now, i'm just glad we got a run

[Horny Bull 2,760]

Nice play Altuve

[maninblack 7,974]

flashing the leather

[Seasick Sailor 3,747]

Fucking Mauer. We can't seem to get him out this series.

[Horny Bull 2,760]

Throw strikes

[maninblack 7,974]

wtf Lance

[Stros 153]

Ump isn’t calling the corners. Wtf

Another nice play saves a run

[maninblack 7,974]

Nice pick Davis. Whew that could've been bad.

[Foosters 17,858]

I'm getting tired of our hitters inability to square up low 90s fastballs in the zone.

[Seasick Sailor 3,747]

JD has been our best hitter this series.

[Scraps 13,562]

Springer time to shine

[Scraps 13,562]

Bregman just got bent over by that ump

[Horny Bull 2,760]

Ump helped him out quite a bit that AB. I'm expecting the same for LMJ

[thetruth 149]

Bregman got hosed on those first two strikes. 

[Seasick Sailor 3,747]

Pretty well sums it up:

 

[DoobieWah 1,446]

He's saying, "That fuckin' shitbag."

[Gut Wagon 8,083]

Seems we're hitting into about three DPs a game any more. I guess it always seems that way when you're not scoring, but we've had more than our share lately.

Felt the same way in April '17. Things will turn around. We will not have four guys hitting under .200 in the lineup at the end of the season.

[Dr. Teeth 5,845]

This game could be a lot worse.

The last seven games could have been a lot worse.

We might still get a WC berth with four guys under .200 all year, but only if all five starters stay healthy and none of those four hitters is Springer, Correa, Reddick or Gurriel. I wouldn't want to find out.

Not ideal Lance

Exactly. The worst "great" year in our history.
