Sucks to lose a game where Springer, Bregman, Correa, Brantley and Reddick all homer

Thanks AJ for leaving mchugh in so long
Well the MLB decided to **** us with 16 of the first 21 on the road. We've played just as many games at the **** ballpark in Arlington as we have at our own ballpark. That's stupid.mwm said:
They've been gone for what? 10-11days? Two cities & a dump? Maybe getting home will provide some spark.

I don't second-guess AJ a lot, but why leave McHugh in? Throw Framber in there and give us a chance while the game is at least slightly within reach.
We can score 5-6 runs in 5 innings. 9-10 is a lot tougher.

well, on the bright side...the Astros only have 1 series left in Arlington the rest of the way

and shame on the pitching staff...made Joey Gallo look like a superstar this weekend

"I felt like they were on a lot of stuff in the first inning, especially their takes and some of their pitches they chose to swing at," Cole said. "I think they were maybe a little bit of a step ahead of me in terms of maybe being able to identify what pitch I was throwing. I made some adjustments throughout the game and that seemed to clean that up, and by the time I got to the fifth, I was dog tired and started to spray again. I got as deep as I could. I kept trying to make quality pitches."
Quote:
After watching video postgame, Cole said he could tell what pitches he was going to throw without knowing and could only assume the Rangers could as well.
"That's part of the game," Cole said. "You've just got to clean that up. I mean, if you're tipping, you've still got to put a good swing on the pitch. It's not like that was all their fault. I certainly could have done a better job of trying to slow it down myself."
Gallo has about as much in common with Winfield as a pack mule does with a quarter horse.94chem said:W said:

The numbers thus far say Adam Dunn, but he is still 25 years old. Jim Thome power with Dave Winfield athleticism is still the ceiling. Should learn a lot this season about Gallo.

Anyone following the minors closely have any impressions of Tucker? His stats look really bad.
I think it's cute. Let them have their fun in April.Marvin said:
Couple of Aggies on the Rangers thread have lost their minds. Grapesoda, whoever that dude is, has some serious hate going on for Aggie Astro fans. You can root for your team without acting like a juvenile twit.

By a freak of scheduling they got a lot of their home games up front. So they won their home series on some anomaly performances from our starting pitchers. No big deal.
We'll beat their ass in the juice box and play games in October silver boot or not. The nut grabbers needed this. The peak of their season is beating the Astors in April.
He spends an inordinate amount of time on the politics board griping about weed laws. Might explain something.Marvin said:
