For being a Ranger fan you sure do compliment the Astros a lot.

Because they're damn good.

Here's the deal. LeClerc would probably be equal to Montero in their bullpen. There are easily 4 bullpen arms they have that are MUCH better than our best arm. Add in that LeCkerc looks as scared as me trying to block Micah Parsons and the Astros lineup feels absolutely no worry about facing him. And he's the best we got…

I think that shows your love for the Asstros.

Montero? Do you even baseball?!

Texas Season:
Jo Leclerc: 57G, 2.68 ERA, 57.0 IP, 67 SO, 4 Saves, 1.14 WHIP
Wil Smith: 60G, 4.40 ERA, 57.1 IP, 55 SO, 22 Saves, 1.06 WHIP
Chapman: 30G, 3.72 ERA, 29.0 IP, 50SO, 4 Saves, 1.28 WHIP
Stratton: 22G, 3.41 ERA, 29.0 IP, 22 SO, 0 Saves, 1.10 WHIP

Houston Season:
Pressley: 65G, 3.58 ERA, 65.1 IP, 74 SO, 31 Save, 1.07 WHIP
Montero: 68G, 5.08 ERA, 67.1 IP, 79 SO, 1 Save, 1.53 WHIP

I'll give you Abreu and Neris. Both having a Career best year.

We've accepted that the Rangers bullpen has sucked. Dunning was slotted to be there but got moved to the Rotation. We lost deGrom, Odorizzi. We lost Chris Martin and just didn't have enough depth to fix it.

But for you to know Montero and equate anyone in our BP to him would imply you are probably an Asstros fan. Give it up. You a Rangers fan that walks with an Asstros shirt so you can root for "the winners" or you just a typical Asstros fan trolling here?!

---

I've followed the Rangers much longer than any of you. And they're my team. I'm no homer like you morons, though, the idiots on here that thought we would beat them even once here. They own us here. It just took awhile to show up last night, but in Ranger-sequel manner, we lost in about the most painful way imaginable.

I just know we are gonna lose as painful as possible and I have decided since 2011 to make it as clear as I can to just expect pain as a Rangers fan. Basically, the same as being an Aggie fan. It's not meant to be, so you just expect it and see how it's gonna happen next time.

And I've never had an Asstros hat or shirt in my life. But I know they've got an incredible run they are on, one that we will never come close to matching. It is what it is.

It's ok to compliment your opponent. Only insecure man children (like most Astros fans) can't seem to do that.

It's pretty immature and childish not to be able to give credit where it's due. They're a damn good organization. The run they're on is pretty damn unprecedented in all of sports. Still wouldn't call it a dynasty. But I think any of us would be willing to say we wish we could compete the way they do, 2017 aside.

Be careful. You'll get branded an Asstros fan for that kind of rational and reasonable post.

Bull***** I dont know anyone from any other fan base that respects that cheating organization. No matter what they do from now to eternity they will always be known as cheaters.

You're not a bad poster but I think you should log off for the evening. Take a breather and get ready for tomorrow night.

It wasn't just 2017 that they cheated. That's just the narrative after the plea bargain with MLB.

This place turned into a Ranger cry session, since all the Astros fans got banned.

But not enough of them.

Get banned for trolling.

Troll again the minute your ban expires.

This should end well.

I'm guessing 24 hours. Pretty much everyone who came over to pile on (minus one) got banned.

Just gone for the rest of the series? That dweeb should be banned through the rest of the season.

Eovaldi versus Valdez tomorrow night.

On paper, seems like a good matchup for the Rangers. Here's hoping to this time tomorrow night the Rangers are, or at least getting close to, getting ready for game 7

Hell, maybe they should hand out suspensions like the MLB does, ban him for a few days next year as well to the start the season.

Can someone point me to where Adolis made contact with the umpire? All I see is the umpire holding Adolis back. He's not initiating contact with the umpire

It is all from ones perspective. Garcia let his emotions get the best of him, I don't think he intentionally initiated contact with either Blue. I also don't think Abreu was purposely throwing at Garcia, mostly based upon the the game situation, any more than Leclerc was throwing at Dubon after the Altuve home run. On the other hand, I do think he wanted to throw down with Maldonado and would have if cooler heads did not prevent it.

Just saw the Leclerc post game interview. Dude looked devastated. He made ZERO excuses and took it like a man. He's put the bullpen on his back this postseason and yeah it sucks he couldn't get it done on Friday. Leclerc has my respect.

He also closed out the rest of the inning, and we still had a chance to win in the bot 9th.

Well, the umpire crew decided (unanimously?) that Abreu intentionally threw at him.
The post game team of Jeter, Ortiz, and A-Rod all but said he threw at him intentionally.
Jung, Semien, Chapman, and Adolis are all on record saying it was intentional. Sure, Rangers bias.
MLB suspended Abreu for 2 days because they deemed it was intentional.

Performance shows it is intentional. If you want to get away with intentionally throwing at a guy... you've gotta do it with a breaking pitch. The fastball at 98-99 was straight at him. It didn't get away. It hit the target it was intended to strike.

Nolan Ryan has historically been quoted as saying hit rather hit the guy with a pitch than walk him on a 3-0 count.

Just own it.

I simply expressed my opinion. It also seems to be a rather prevalent one among baseball commentators today.. It simply made no sense in that situation to put two men on with no outs in a game that was still in reach. Two out nobody on with Abreu showing control, it would be hard to argue against. One already on after a five pitch walk, much less likely.

Hey, it made no sense to bang on trash cans to tip off offspeed pitches as well, but we are taking about the Astros

Don't worry guys - we torch Phat Phramber tonight. The Oxy's can't hit at home.
