Reddick should have gotten married in 2016 if this is how he was going to play after tying the knot.

2nd leading average on the team. Doing that on the field

Woo

He played well then too.  He was 2nd on the team in average in 2017 too, and probably 4th in overall hitting.  People forget he was a beast that year because of his playoff 0fer.

Marwin was probably the 2nd best overall hitter on the team in 2017 too. The middle to bottom of the lineup was raking.

Gee that sounds familiar.
And shaky starting pitching outside of your top 2...


I look forward to our giants-style odd year run of championships

[tx 3 putt 77,456]

6-2 in Miley starts 

[Scraps 13,581]

Thank god they won cause i may not get home til sunrise

Gotta love flooding


Woooooooo

[tx 3 putt 77,456]

We just beat the rain out of CC. Full blown monsoon in Victoria

They have to clear out first 4-5 rows when this happens. Rain helped that catch. Should be required viewing for people sitting there. Get out of fielders way.

They need to raise that wall a couple of feet. Too many cheap HRs.

[ChickenSandwich 9,853]

We should have signed Hunter Pence as DH

[Rimbo 26,135]

i like winning

[UTHornFan014 710]

And speaking of Alvarez .... only a single so far tonight

Tucker is quietly sneaking up on him in the HR dept. another one tonight. Up to 9.

There can only be a handful of games the last 2-3 weeks that at least one of them hasn’t homered

But, how good is Tucker at giving hugs?

[runthebone 8,047]

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

[tx 3 putt 77,456]

That was a hell of a game saving catch

Rangers will be able to get something for him at the trading deadline 

[Fudge Nuggets 19,227]

Enough fucking around against these dipsticks, time to whoop they ass to the sound of 12-0.

[kevwun 15,924]

That's a good point about the small crowd helping that catch.  There's a good chance some jackass would have messed that catch up with how far he was in to the stands.

[Rimbo 26,135]

someone on reddit claimed the catch, alone, was worth 0.768 WAR

[Seasick Sailor 3,747]

This will play:

[UTexasFight 9,533]

Bold move by Luhnow to suppress Springer’s value in his FA season by turning him in to a DH-only player.

He's still in his arbitration years

[Seasick Sailor 3,747]

 

[Mez2 4,025]

One of the underrated, if possible, things is after the catch,  he throws a fucking missile to 2B on a frozen rope. 

Adrenaline is a helluva drug

wouldn't that result in an out?

i'm asking for mookie betts.

[UTexasFight 9,533]

Doh
We’ve been talking about whether they’ll try to sign him when he becomes a free agent for seemingly a decade now. Lost track of years.

Joe West wasn’t umpiring last night

He was, however, still a cocksucker last night.

[TexArcher 38,075]

Alright, fellas.  Let's wrap this thing up in three innings so we can focus on the Rockets.

[Player 4,576]

Lil Shep in the house!

[TexArcher 38,075]

Altuve's breaking out tonight.  Mark my words.

[Scraps 13,581]

Altuve's breaking out tonight.  Mark my words.

Nice jinx asshole.

[TexArcher 38,075]

Hey, he batted 1.000 tonight.  That's a breakout.

[henrygandorf 29,195]

god fucking dammit.

[Seasick Sailor 3,747]

Ugh. 

[henrygandorf 29,195]

new shoes for verlander?

#nohomo.

[Limp Brisket 546]

If Altuve goes on IL what does it mean in terms of a AAA bring up?  

[Mez2 4,025]

Tanilieu or my mans toro!

But probably more Diaz and Kemp at 2B. Yay.

This is what I’m afraid of.  Hopefully Altuve is fine but there have been indicators lately that he’s not and may need some time off.

[Scraps 13,581]

"Hey mom look im on tv eating another dudes ass!"

[Guadaloopy 11,014]

Probably the best play I’ve ever seen at short.

Ball cap catch for McHugh on Jake’s bomb.
