You have to wonder if some of these relievers like Bielak or Martinez are going to say "I'm not going out again" out of fear of blowing their arm out pitching so much.

Bielak clearly doesn't understand the rules of competition. He's thrown a clean inning.

Really starting to wonder about Espada not getting any of those numerous jobs he interviewed for…

Who else did they interview internally? We pretty much kept everyone so is there sour grapes over Espada? Is the rest of the coaching staff mailing it in?

I think it's simply the case of guys being hurt and/or sucking. Not much the manager can do. GM keeps bringing up arms and they keep getting shelled. Guys you thought you could depend on are now getting shelled, too. It doesn't really matter who's making out the lineup right now.

And you've got two guys in the lineup that drove in 90+ runs last year not driving in any so far without decent bench options to stick in the lineup in their place.

Kessinger has a sporty 0.00. Maybe, just maybe. It's so crazy it just might work.

Loved that Tucker showed some emotion with that bat flip. Hopefully he lights a fire under our team's ass

Singleton has doubles in back-to-back games

To clarify, I don't disagree if you make the playoffs you have a shot. Thats more true in baseball than any other sport. What I disagree with is assuming we will have some magical run to make up 10 games the last two months because "muh we're the Astros". There will be hard times and good times. You make the hard times really hard for really long by living in denial. You could make a couple trades this year to unload some future spend for big league ready prospects and then reload in free agency to compete as soon as next season. Or you can miss the playoffs, let everyone walk for dart throw draft picks that are years away and scramble to field a decent club.

What a wreck. Hard not to see this as a major Manager problem. This team is too talented to look like this.

That's 2 more doubles than the geriatric Cuban he's replacing tonight.

WTH is Pettis doing? He's been holding up everyone this year. This whole coaching staff is all brakes no gas.
"H-A: In return for the flattery, can you reduce the size of your signature? It's the only part of your posts that don't add value. In its' place, just put "I'm an investing savant, and make no apologies for it", as oldarmy1 would do."

Rangers 3 relievers tonight all sporting an ERA above 10. Seems like they want to compete for that record.

Seriously how do you put up the stop sign on something that wasn't even close to drawing a throw and with 2 outs to boot

Kessinger is a hell of a rally killer.

I don't feel like looking up stats from last season, but it sure feels like our pitching staff is surrendering a lot more walks this season.
