Lots of ball left. We've come back from 6-0 before this year.
These two teams are trending hard in opposite directions. Going to be a dogfight through the rest of this season. Buckle up boys!
Wow. That was brutal by Perez.

Perez has a 1.91 ERA @ Home. 2nd in the AL.
And here is an example of why slicing up an analysis - taking one half of a season and then only looking at home starts - is an example of cherry-picking.
Maybe Perez feels more comfortable in the home dugout. Maybe Perez really likes the mound in Texas. Maybe Perez can focus better with the behind the plate signage at home.
Or maybe it's just a small sample size and a mediocre pitcher doesn't magically become dominant at home.
So sick of watching the middle of this order swing through a fastball right down the middle of the plate
And maybe this is just one game.
Lose 3 out of 4…that win we punted against Detroit sure seems pretty nice now huh?
On the plus side this game inspired me to unfollow the Rangers News Facebook page finally. Today's been awful, and hell I took PTO to watch this, but whoever runs that page must be an Ag because it ain't news and they ain't happy unless they're whining.
It is just one game. Just like all of Perez' road starts were just one game.
Perez isn't as bad as he was today, but this idea that he's a 4.5+ Era pitcher on the road but the trick is if we throw him at home he'll be dominant is just small sample size.

It is what it is. I disagree with this whole punted thing. They took a calculated risk that we could hopefully pull it out while saving starters for stiffer competition. That hasn't worked out, but I don't have an issue with it in principal.
Maybe, but as mental as pitching is it can damned sure play a big part if he's comfortable and confident at home.
We ain't dead yet!
I'll take that no doubter.
There are two the runs thanks to Leody.... still plenty of work to do.gigem1223 said:

And then the inexplicably DHing smith swings at a ball damned near behind him.
Josh Smith should not be on an MLB roster
The make a wish experiment with him needs to end. Like now.

Just walked in - damn
I'm fine with him in the roster. I have no concept of why he's at DH ever, much less twice in a row.
Just think of how winning this game will rip their hearts out and show it to them while still beating.
Maldonado sucks so bad

But in 2022 he was just as comfortable at home as on the road?
And in 2021 when his road ERA was 2 runs better... wasn't comfortable at all at home?
Players tend to play better at home, but it rarely makes a bad pitcher good or vice versa.
It's talking head stuff.
Ugh. Seager just missed making this a 2 run game
Players get confident over all kids of things. Who knows? Maybe it's small sample size, maybe not. I disagree it's cherry picking.
The problem is today is a Home Day game. If it were a Night game, Perez would've been fine.Proposition Joe said:

Part of my thought on the Home split was the new rules on shifts and playing on the Rangers turf.
Otto. YIKES
This game shows why we should take the win vs teams like the Tigers. A win is a win in the standings.
That logic assumes we would have gotten the win had we not done anything.
If we need a position player to pitch, who is it?

It's more just an example that "resting up for series x" isn't really a thing.
The minimal win probability improvement of having your guy at 100% rest for the big game doesn't counter the win probability decrease of not having him in the lineup for a "punt" game.
Yes it's a long season and players need rest. But head-to-head standings rarely come into play. Every game matters the same until you've clinched.

Well that was good timing for his first homerun.
Josh Smith. Just an auto out
