Rangers should've asked the defending champs how to win a series in Tampa. Tough to get exposed like that.

That's the irritating part of it all. We should have picked up two games at least, but laid two eggs in Cleveland and a couple in Toronto. So many missed opportunities.
First half of the season has been full of missed opportunities, but the fact that the manager of the team willingly and blatantly took an L today has me resigned to just hitting the reset button after the off day. Lot of time left.
On a different note, anyone else think we'd rather shoot our shot with Blanco as the last starter after going back to five? Bielak is what he is, and what he is is not major league level.

A little managerial malfeasance today.
Can we send Dusty out to pasture yet
The rangers are about to lose 3 of their last 4, and they will have still gained a half game on us

Nope. We gotta save him specifically to blow games we are only up by 1 or 2.
Any update on Urquidy? I know it won't matter because this front office lies about the severity of every injury, but I'm still curious.
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.
it seems like the entire organization from Dana to Dusty to the players to TK & Blummer put way too much emphasis on "17 games in 17 days" -- like the end of the world or something was coming.
they predestined that the Astros had to struggle and lose a bunch of games.
the 'stros went 9-8. Against teams other than the A's...the record was 6-8

Well since they haven't said a word they really haven't lied. Yet. Now when they say it's a mild forearm strain we can all start to worry.
and thank goodness for Carlos and the Twins --- they have kept the Astros in the 6th wildcard spot by beating Toronto twice this weekendtjack16 said:

I think the positive outlook is this could likely be the start of their regression to actuals / result of hitting an actual schedule and we've played about as poorly as our talent level could allow. Equalization might be on the horizon.

TK & Blummer LOVE to talk about this subject. Drives me nuts. They play baseball for 3 hours a night, big whoop. They should be able to handle it.

I went back and checked. The team said maybe the All-Star break, so there's the announced timeframe.
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.
Can Dusty be forced into retirement at the ASB? Say it's some sort of discomfort.
Just seems like we are pissing away this year. The window won't remain open forever...
This is at least pretty cool
The BB% and K% numbers prove that 100%Mathguy64 said:
I guess we have completely given up the multiyear approach of taking pitches and working counts.
Just go up there hacking.
Will it matter if Dusty won't play them?redline248 said:It's a bit early for this take. Let's wait until we see what additions, if any, happen via trade.1876er said:
It's just time to accept this team isn't that good.
Worse teams have got hot at the end of the year, but we're probably looking at no postseason this year.
The way this lineup was constructed today by Dusty was set up very well for Bieber. There was no protection whatsoever for our better hitters so Bieber could basically pitch around guys like Bregman and Tucker knowing no one was a threat coming up next.
I will say Kessinger has impressed me. Looks comfortable playing the field and does show some plate discipline on limited at bats. Being the grandson of a former major leaguer I'm sure it helps. Reminds me of how Kaeden Kent performed in a limited role. Bright future for both young men.
So we heard a few years ago how Pedro Leon was the center fielder of the future… is he just not that good anymore?
I think a few days ago we had some info that he had been struggling, but recent few games he was torching ittjack16 said:

Never developed. Power doesn't show in games and K's too much.
Well I was curious too so I looked at all the sugar land guys. Quincy Hamilton just got called up this week and he's had 4 home runs this week. Also holy crap the ERAs of the pitching staff are crazy. There's basically nobody under 5.50

Or you don't have the define how good or bad a team is less than half way thru a season.
Yeah I wouldn't say this team isn't good. It's not the tremendous team of last year but should still win 90+. Now if we could make a smart trade or two to drop some dead weight…..
We are in a fine position.
Dealing with injuries all season to key players and have been starting two pitchers who we didn't factor in at the beginning of the season.
I'm worried about injuries, but not the team coming together?

We're basically down to our ninth starter … haven't been that bad, really. Need to get healthy and get some SP help at the deadline.

That's why I'm not worried. I love that some of these guys are getting the experience. And doing surprisingly well.
I am for it. If for nothing else than to see the meltdown on heretjack16 said:Joc sends his second homer of the day into McCovey Cove! pic.twitter.com/FY8o1YoTvq
