Rangers Limp into Houston to take on world champ Astros

[Kelleyman]

I’m not kidding you guys.

I despise the Angels, but Id rather see them have success instead of the Astros. Pulling for those guys in the division this year since we got nothing.

Jim crane is a crooked douchebag. Luhnow is an asshat, and I secretly wish we would see a headline someday of Reid Ryan choking on a hot dog.

My big beef with Astros is completely tending on purpose several years in a row. MLB Rewards this and it is wrong.
Yeah the whole issue with stealing data from Cards got team a free pass
We should have had Bregman. Aiken debacle. So yeah they are a team from a mgt and fan base I definitely don't like how they conduct themselves. It is though pretty hard not to like guys like Altuve and Springer on a personal level. Giles a different situation. But yes they are the hated team

This game serves as a good example why we need to play these young when we are not going to contend. A lot was learned today about several rookies. That is what it's all about for now.

Last year really pissed me off.

I honestly didn’t care where they played the makeup games after hurricane harvey. They used a natural disaster to try and hurt our organizations chances of making the playoffs. Their stated reason for going to the trop was because they didn’t want to give us more “ home games” which could affect the wild card race.

They expected the rangers organization to screw our fans who bought tickets to the games in September. When the Astros didn’t get their way, the organization did all they could to make us look bad in the media.

Reid ryan is a joke and the only reason he has that job is because of who his daddy is. He’s the poster child for spoiled rich brat who doesn’t know what being a normal human being is like ( Donald trump jr. also comes to mind)


Astros fans ( and Houston fans in general) seem to have an irrational hatred to dallas teams.

The cowboys aren’t even in the same conference and rarely play the Texans.

The mavericks and rockets have hardly ever been good at the same time.

The Astros and rangers haven’t been division rivals for very long.

It just makes no sense.

He may just stay up, Guzman

rather see both stay up and say goodbye to Robinson and Rua

 

[Kelleyman]

The bulk of our minor league help won't be here until 2021 at the earliest. The help we were supposed to be getting now was traded away for the most part.

We may get some earlier JPM and maybe some pitching.

But re guys traded away. I think I may have been wrong to underestimate the comradely these guys for the old Hickory squad had. Watching Gallo so happy for Guzman and him proclaiming how much a better first baseman RG is just shows how much a family they were and I think it was a mistake to break them up especially Brinson and even Williams who could play LF. I think chemistry and trust is huge. A lineup of Profar Mazara Gallo and Guzman deserves to happen. Really impressed by Gallo leadership

So I think I was wrong.if we had beat Cards it would have played out different Wish we could get them back. Maybe a trade of Hamels can produce something if we add a reliever in the deal

Robinson may just take the hit on this

Mazara in right, Deshields center, Odor in left

Beltre 3rd, Elvis short, profar second, Gallo first

Cheerios at catcher

Take away Choo and Beltre. what do you do? Trevino for Chirinos? Can't play Odor in LF this year.
Talking about next year?

Love Grieve in post game He shines there vs analyst but I am not a great fan of current TV announcers

One thing about having the MLB Network. I don't have to listen and be annoyed by Dave Raymond.

It will always dumbfound me how the Rangers have had such good judgement on the radio side and none on the TV side.

I don't want to leave Guzman out of the equation. I think Gallo feels the same way. And Choo who was doing so well right now is in a serious nosedive. Let's see how what is going on right now plays out. Even some of Guzman's outs I have like his AB's.

NEWS ALERT
Game at 7:00 on ESPN

Rather have Guzman at first and Gallo at LF than odor in LF

Re: Robinson from above, he's in CF until Deshields comes back

I think he gets it back on track soon as well

 

[donaldson79]

Anyone know how long Fister is out?

 

[DT LUNA]

Colon is unreal. Matched Verlander in the first. 3^3v

 

[DT LUNA]

I swear Beltre makes plays that is hard to believe.

 

[DT LUNA]

Cheerio homers

 

[DT LUNA]

DT it is quite tonight.

 

[donaldson79]

Swing the Fiing bat Gallo

 

[Nightcrawler]

Fartolo deserves to start for this team every 5th day. He’s better than some other options we have.


If he does really well, maybe he could be a decent trade chip at the deadline.
