That’s a good one.

Zach Grienke had 2 HRs and 4 RBIs tonight.
Our DH spot in 6 games has 0 HRs and 1 RBI.

Apparently the rangers are doing their best to capitalize on Houston’s recent success...by selling Astros gear in the stadium.

[UTexasFight 9514]

A) to be fair, there are nearly more Astros fans than Ranger fans at Globe Life these days.
B) most teams have a small rotating section in their team store dedicated to the visiting team each series

I know the Astros had the same in the Dome. Assume they do at MMP too

[SimonBolivar 10958]

I remember as a kid the Rangers used to have a wall of hats from like 100 minor league teams and I thought that was the coolest thing. I bought a Portland Sea Dogs one the only time I was allowed to buy one

I'm sure they just did this while we're in town, right?

And I hope not a single item was purchased there.  If you want to get raped on a jersey at a stadium, you do it at home at least.

Time to sign him up for ballet.  

[Player 4575]

I’ve never seen any merchandise for an opponent in the team stores at MMP. Not saying it’s never happened, but I sure don’t recall ever seeing Rangers gear for sale at our park.

I’ve been to every MLB Park, and other than a few stores that sold all team caps (like a Lids), I don’t recall seeing other team merchandise for sale at any of them.

sign you up for ballet. 

 

and yeah, i've never seen any other merchandise sold at MMP, other than the Astros, ever. but, rangers are copying our stadium, so this is par for the course. poor sooners.

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

Seems appropriate given our early results:

 

[runthebone 8022]

Based on our 54-108 pace, I'm already looking forward to our 2025 World Series championship!

I hope our high draft pick works out more like Bregman and less like Appel

Seattle was selling our rainbow jersey back in like 2013 at Safeco. We weren't playing them because Seattle was on the road when I was there.

[HoustonFrog 368]

Four games behind Seattle who is 7-1

Boston is also dead last in their division and four games back.

i would assume it's a proximity thing (and our recent success would mean more visiting fans).  last time we were in angels stadium watching the stros on the road, the wife decided she needed a hat, and when we asked if any of the team stores had an astros one, they looked at us like we were lost.

Well, to be safe, we should draft a cripple, lowball him, then draft a stud the next year.  Even better if he's Jewish.

.227/.287/.379

Thats the Astros team triple slash line through 6 games...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

in 2017. 

It’s remarkably similar this year: .237/.310/.376. 

So they’re probably going to have one of the greatest offenses of all-time again. Long way to go.

Of what? Double plays.

[UTexasFight 9514]

Smart money was on caught stealing

But seriously, Ranger starting pitching is terrible
No way they hold us down 3 straight games

[henrygandorf 29194]

four pitch walk to start the game.  oddly familiar.

wonder what happens now.

[runthebone 8022]

What the fuck, ump.

[SimonBolivar 10958]

Can't throw strikes, but doesn't matter.

[Scraps 13569]

Cole looking nasty af tonight so far

[Scraps 13569]

Fucking shift

[cabowabo 4492]

Anyone else on Directv lose their feed?

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

Fuck. 

[runthebone 8022]

Everyone relax, this offense is good for at least one run tonight.  We can play for a tie.

[Scraps 13569]

Wtf you cocksucking ump

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

WTF was that call?

[Lat22 4015]

How did that ump miss that?

Jesus ump.

[FondrenRoad 4378]

This ump fucking sucks. 

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

Fucking ump show

[henrygandorf 29194]

"look out there.  there's nothing for you to see in here, look out there."

/ump stares blankly into astros dugout

[Horny Bull 2762]

Who the fuck is this dipshit behind the plate?

[henrygandorf 29194]

justice for shark.

[perfectchaos007 6677]

"I can do whatever I want!" wow what a powertrip by the ump. He should be suspended...but he won't be

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Ump should be suspended by MLB. He’s just on a power trip.

Yeah, fuck this guy.  I bet he calls the game entirely one sided now.  Seems like that type of dickhead. 

[Cooder 37]

Astros feed on directv is out so I’m watching rangers broadcast.

Broadcast after hinch ejection: “so by my calculation after those 2 ejections Steve Sparks the Astros radio broadcaster is now managing Houston”

[kevwun 15809]

That ump had a poster of Angel Hernandez on his wall growing up.

[SimonBolivar 10958]

That one call plus the no strike call...just wow. The ump behind the plate was poor last night too.
