Nice bounce back win! It's hilarious to me the fans of this cheating ass team are celebrating the moral victory of not being shut out.

Scoring that a hit is an insult to all actual athletes. I'm 51 and would've made that play 90% of the time.
You wouldn't have even gotten a glove on it.
Nate should have made the play once he got to the position he was in, but a sprint with your back to the plate trying to make an over the shoulder catch is one of the hardest plays to make in baseball -- it just looks easy.
I would've caught that easily. I'm an athlete. I still run a 14 second 100. I lettered in baseball. Easy play. Sorry, old man.

Back to 5 games up.

Yep. No throw involved. No in-between hop. Not in the wind. Just trot back and catch it.

You would have tripped turning around.
Nate shoulda made the play, but it would have been a nice play to make for a big leaguer... meaning you wouldn't have had a prayer
Felt weird to only be up by 4 games before today.
That was the kind of game I was expecting.
Need to get the next 2.

Astros fans are so bitter about the rangers infield in the ASG that they truly believe Lowe made the ASG.

2 or 3 more runs, and eovaldi gives us 1 more inning. come on Rangers!
Had to go take the watch, and then do some stuff at the bottom of th 6th, right after i posted this. i'm a prophet.
dominating win. 15 hits and only 5 runs is frustrating, gotta get back on the RISP horse, but i'll take a win over the Astros anyday. win tomorrow, and go for the series win monday for a potential 7 game lead. hopefully the Dbacks can give us another win over the Angels, and get this back to a 5 and 7 game lead.
Framber afraid of the big bad Heaney after the ass whipping he took in their last matchup
He and McClanahan get to mid-season hump and decide to take a break when they start to give up runs.
Wayyyyy too many Astro fans at Texas live today. Need to send them home miserable after this weekend!
Looks like Bielak did not make the start.DallasAg 94 said:
Bielak is supposed to start tonight for the Astros AAA team. I'm guessing he won't make the GS and appears in Arlington for tomorrow's GS.
Seeing him in Arlington tomorrow, I suppose.
I expect us to light him up.
I just want to secure the win. Seems like when we "expect" to thrash a pitcher they pull their best out of their butt.
The lastros thread simultaneously discussing Rangers fans being dumb and Nate Lowe being the all star first baseman. Can't make it up.
From the Astros thread, I was looking to confirm SP:
This guy doesn't look good. 27 with a 5.30 ERA @ AAA about 50/50 SP/RP.
He may lock us down.
We often make these types of SP look like an All-Star.
Shawn Dubin will start for the Astros tomorrow.

Fat boy Framber isn't pitching tomorrow. Is this the time where we finally capitalize on it? Detroit seemed to be able to hold things together with their patchwork bullpen earlier this week.
Crazy that Garcia had the lowest B.A. of all the starters.

Would be nice to light this dude up tomorrow. Like others have mentioned, bad pitchers seem to do well against one of the best offenses in baseball. Makes no sense but let's see if we can crush them tomorrow!
Framber Valdez said he could pitch Thursday or Friday. He said he hurt his ankle on the dugout steps prior to his last hime start against the Mets.
— Brian McTaggart (@brianmctaggart) July 1, 2023
Framber rolled his ankle in the dugout probably because he's obese and Astro fans are trying to figure out a way to Blame dusty baker for it.
What a **** show.
I've decided I'll be throwing a brisket on for game 4 on Monday

Lets see, game @ 1…. so 10lb brisket goes on @ 10p Sunday…. then in cooler around…. 9/10a on monday….. sleep off the overnite cook for about 3-4 hours while brisket rests…I like it… Go Rangers!
The Astros fans do not realize they are going through what we went through in 2013/2014 - it's called age.
Yep, I remember that really well.

That fan base is really something else. Wasn't on this site but on Reddit, before their series against the Dodgers, they were boasting like crazy about the 2017 World Series "win" over the Dodgers... while simultaneously in the same thread saying the Dodgers' 2020 World Series doesn't count because of COVID. You cannot make this up. They have zero self awareness.
I need that good juju, made a bet with a coworker and I don't want to have to buy him lunch haha
Single tickets behind home plate in the all you can eat and drink (beer included) are under $200 right now. Tempting.
Sborz, Chapman, and Smith in 7, 8, and 9 is disgusting.
Two flamethrowers followed by a slower pace with even more movement really isn't fair. Should be fun to see this team start shutting opponents down in the later innings.

Sborz and Chapman have the 2nd and 3rd highest swing and Miss rate of all pitchers in baseball (only behind Bautista). Still want 1 more as they can't pitch every night. I'd like to see more of Otto though. Him, Anderson and Burke may be able to handle the off nights.

Josh Smith DH?!?!? Wth
I am asking myself why the hell you would ever put him at DH while acknowledging that because it makes zero sense, he'll go yard today.
Have y'all seen who the Astros have on the mound today? This is as good a day as any took get Josh some competitive ABs
Having said that, would still rather TJ in the lineup. I don't believe Smith will be on the roster after the trade deadline
