I hope this team doesn't forget to put a bow on top before they're done gift wrapping this series.

Just go with the pitch good grief
A single would have been just as good…even a sac fly…but no
So frustrating. You cannot load the bases with nobody out and not get a run. Absolutely terrible approach. Chasing awful pitches.
Makes you wonder if he'd got more reps this year maybe he would have a better eye for that slider away.
It's been a long 6+ months of excuses, and I'm over all of it.MosesHallRAB04 said:cc10106 said:
"We just didn't execute. We' have to play better and make opportunities count." - some BS answers coming later
But it's 100% true
Makes me start asking if we even extend Altuve unless it's cheap.
Sorry but between injuries and he has obviously been on the decline... Just sayin

A slider that started off the plate to begin with.
Gonna re-watch the Tennessee game to get myself in a better mood.
Game and series are still totally winnable. Fortunately the guys in the dugout are made of sterner stuff than the pansies on this thread.
Life is better with a beagle
Would bet good money he scores

He screwed us but Dusty screwed him by not playing him and like he's said he hits better when he plays in the field. The last time he did that was over 3 weeks ago.RED AG 98 said:and Yainer has like 9 ABs in the month of October so it's not like he's had a ton of repsJohnnyTexAg1995 said:yiner at least battled but altuve was badgambochaman said:
That was the most pathetic display of baseball I have ever seen
Not even competitive at bats…2 garbage strikeouts and a wimper grounder
Holy crap this team is infuriating in this acursed gdamn ballpark
He's also a rookie and it's tougher for those guys to get back in a groove. Maybe he will redeem himself later in the game.
Taveras easily triples.
At least the ump gives the stros every borderline call on the strike zone. It's incredible

Yep, hero batting versus hitting what you can

It's not winnable if they don't stop playing bad baseball.
There is some good news!
Finally we have some luck in the field
LOL. Rare 5-5 DP

So every year one team seems to become anointed to win the WS.
Not giving up but the Rangers seem to be that team.
And then the Braves and Dodgers lose.
The Phillies are that team.
Hell yeah Breggy .. now let's get some more runs
Just a reminder that AGGIESTODAY is a Rangers diehard who attends Blinn College.

It was less painful than this. I had hope for the Astros at least.
Finally something goes our way. Nice play by Breggy
On a serious note, time to look at bringing in another pitcher. They've hit France hard last 2 batters. They're catching on.
Huge double play there!
Thanks for that fascinating analysis.TarponChaser said:The Porkchop Express said:

Made a bet with the in-law ranger fans that losers had to wear the winners jerseys and say something nice about the other social media.
Never seen my wife so upset with an Astros game. She doesn't want to lose to her brother and sister. Kinda sexy but also depressing.

Probably should be it for JP, right?
I feel like altuves problem is he gets enamored with the homerun
Happened late in the season after his 4 homeruns in 4 innings that he went on a big slump cuz he was swinging a jackhammer every time
I feel like he has been doing the same since the first pitch hr against twins

That pic is so misleading. He misjudged the hell out of that and caught it way to the side practically while landing. Kemp's the hell out of it.
