He's going yard tonight
Dirty Mike and the Boys said:
Any of y'all freaking out about 0-2 must be very very new to this. Despite what the media would lead you to believe, we have the least lineup holes in all of baseball save for the Dodgers. Were fine. We've got at least a dozen or so more 2 game losing streaks to go.
I think we're not worried about 0-2, we're more concerned with the glaring issues in the bullpen and the long term impact of that. We can't rely on hader, Ryan, and abreu to pitch every night. Beyond those three, there doesn't seem to be anyone worthy of being on a major league roster. I know we'll get reinforcements later in the year, but the way we're set up right now, we could be in a hole by then. The offense will sort itself out in time.
Remarkably, today will be the first time Marcus Stroman has faced the Astros since Aug. 6, 2017.

How long do you want to ignore this user?

Sure, it's certainly a concern, but my main point is that every roster in the MLB is going to have a concern that will likely go un-attended to this season, including the World Series champion. If you gave me a list, middle relief is the one I'd likely choose to forego given our current roster. We started spring training fairly deep starting pitching, and we're currently short due to minor stuff. I'm confident this is a problem that can be addressed either cheaply or with the farm.
It's also worth noting that we probably won't be relying so much on middle relief as the season goes on and starters begin to get fully stretched out and Espada can stick with them a bit longer.
I imagine he's not trying squeeze too much out of the starters the first couple times through the rotation.

We win today. Guaranteed.
And then we let everyone know that we back up.
Where did y'all's balls go?

2 games in and the sky has fallen.
Kevin Gausman will start Sunday’s game vs. Rays. Bowden Francis will start Monday vs. Astros #BlueJays

This looks more like a WS ring than the rangers all silver one
The Astros against Marcus Stroman: Altuve 4, Alvarez 7, Tucker 9, Bregman 5, Diaz DH, Abreu 3, Peña 6, Dubón 8, Caratini 2

Brown RHP
Put McCormick at first base
Both Meyers and McCormick hitting the bench today
Vs a RHP.
Yordan in LF with a GB pitcher.
Logic.

At least Diaz is staying in as DH. Baby steps I guess
Would have liked to see Chas in CF and dubon at first

also FWIW someone from my church works for the rangers, and said only the 40 man roster, and 20 coaches and personnel get rings. The rest are getting a different "gift" he seemed kind of bummed cause they all heard that basically the entire Astros organization received championship rings.

My buddy works part time doing 50/50 raffle. He got rings. Of course there are levels to the rings. He's not getting the same as Bregman, but it's not like the ring giveaways either. Probably equivalent to the Josten's one for sale to the public.
José Urquidy played catch yesterday for the first time since his forearm strain. He’s planning to do it again tomorrow.

Didn't see it posted but Loperfido went yard last night in the Hooks first game.
of for sure they weren't expecting a diamond ring but I know my friend who works for the skeeters even got a box and ring!Farmer1906 said:JohnnyTexAg1995 said:also FWIW someone from my church works for the rangers, and said only the 40 man roster, and 20 coaches and personnel get rings.

Heck they don't even have a Championship pennant for their win just a cheap $100 banner

More importantly, batting 5th instead of Abreu.

Isn't he with sugar land?
So I'm watching the Mets v. Brewers game, and Edwin Diaz enters the game. Pretty cool moment. I may be in the minority, but his entry music is probably tops for me in MLB.
Justin Verlander will throw a three-inning, 50-pitch live BP on Monday. His next step would be a rehab assignment, if that goes well.
