Honestly it wasn't bad. I had worries because I had my wife with me but didn't have any issues.

Jose LeClerc - Does he remind anyone else of Neftali Feliz back in 2010-2011? Both a little wild at times, but tough to hit. Good closers, but still make your nervous. LeClerc may actually have a little better stuff than Feliz had.

I was getting major Neftali-vibes watching him in the 9th. Neftali probably had slightly better stuff and was definitely more of an easy motion, but it seems like we'll get the same high velocity, high risk-high reward type of 9th innings as we did in 10-11.
I'm sorry if it did happen. That's not good. I think the last thing on my mind would be to run home and post about it on Texags.Mr Gigem said:
Plus it 100% didn't happen. So what, it happens and it was their first thought was to come TA and accuse a poster on here of being the one who did it? STFU
Either way, Texas tagged him in Game 1 of the ALCS in 2011.birdman said:I heard it was ALCS Game 1 starts.BassCowboy33 said:I thought the stat was that he'd won six straight Game 1 starts.AgBQ-00 said:fretyuioz said:Doctor51 said:
First ever game 1 loss for Verlander I thought I heard. 6-1 lifetime after tonight
This can't be true because he was the losing pitcher of game 1 of 2011 ALCS with Detroit. Maybe that stat is with Houston only?
I thought I remembered him getting knocked around that game.
I just chalk that up to Verlander being a really good pitcher.Grapesoda2525 said:
Obese Framber pitches today. Feels like it's been forever since we've seen a lefty. It kind of neutralizes Carter and probably puts Grossman into the mix.
We really need something from Semien soon. What is the deal with all of those foul pop outs? The Astros don't have a huge foul ball area, but it feels like Bregman and abreu caught 10 foul balls between them.
The dude's been really streaky this year. Hasn't been great of late, but when the switch flips, he can be nigh unhittable.Grapesoda2525 said:

Jared Sandler was talking about the possibility of that on his post game show last night. But he said Carter may have earned his shot at a lefty at this point. But strictly because of the fact that he is so patient at the plate and FF loses his composure when he walks people. He can start snowballing out of control like the fat little snowball he is.

6-0 in Game 1's with the Astros. Eight total starts.
Now let's move on.
I prefer to call it a short cut.fightintxag13 said:

Regarding SP.
Heaney and Dunning were both called out for getting up in the bullpen. I think that was a little surprising, but may show Bochy/Maddux' hand. It could have been a routine bullpen session they scheduled to be during the game in the event they were necessary.
It could also signal Scherzer/Gray as the G3 and G4 SPs.
If the Rangers are split at 1-1, I go Scherzer G3. Extra energy, home game... adrenaline would be in the Rangers favor.
If the Rangers go up 2-0, I'd push Scherzer to G4. If we go 3-0, I'd push him to G5, if necessary.
AgBQ-00 said:
I still think Scherzer is a relief option. He's not stretched out and I think he would be good in a high leverage situation.
Bochy has already said if he uses Scherzer he intends to use him as a starter. So I think the odds of him coming out of the bullpen are pretty slim.investorAg83 said:AgBQ-00 said:

I think having him come out if the bullpen is an awful idea. Historically he's been shelled when that happens…so that's one reason.
2…they talk about Scherzers mentality when he starts. He gets to the stadium and he's in the zone. Talks to no one but the catcher and pitching coach. Emotionless in the dugout. Then when he comes out of the game he goes back to normal.
Expecting him to turn that on in a moment doesn't play to his style or strengths.
yep, we're gonna need fc to go with a mild pron blast. Thanks in advance fc!DallasAg 94 said:
