It is unfortunate the August Bregman is a package deal with April and May Bregman.

Today was a sneaky important win.

Next 5 for us are the Rays and then the White Sox, would be really great to go 4-1 or 5-0.

Mariners may have Detroit and Pittsburg in that same window, but that includes Skubal and Skenes on the mound.

Would be really great to put 1.5 games over the Mariners and get above the WC cutoff

Thanks for all the info on watching Fubo outside Houston. I still couldn't figure it out so I bought MLB TV for the rest of the year. It works outside of Houston so all good.
Wait --- I live in DFW. Are you telling me I can buy MLB TV instead of sending FUBO $100 per month for a crap product? I thought all of Texas was blacked out for anything but buying an actual service (I buy FUBO for baseball season but much prefer YTTV)

As far as streaming goes- I've really enjoyed DirecTV Stream.

Just reflecting again how criminal was it how little Diaz was utilized in the playoffs last year? What a great luxury to have such hitting from your catcher.

It's really fun just watching this lineup take swings.

Man, where the hell did Kaleb Ort come from. Probably been discussed but he's 32 and a grand total of 51.2 IP in the majors in his career (before this year) and now he's up there just shoving 98-99 with a sub-1 ERA and been stupid good.

Seems like there's got to be a great story there.


Wow. I definitely want to know more. Late Tommy John surgery?

Unless it depresses his market value enough for the Astros to afford him.

I travel outside of Texas and can't stream Space City. It seems I can watch the Astros on MLB TV out of state, at least based on last night. I guess they black out depending on access point and not billing address.

Beats me on Dallas.

I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.

If only we could give him a 50 First Dates type of injury to his head and he thinks every day is August 12th or pick a day.

Rangers might unload players to try and get under a tax level. That's interesting. Anyone we could use?

  • Nathan Eovaldi: $2,650,538 (Eovaldi has a player option for $20 million that becomes available to him with 36 more innings.)
  • Max Scherzer: $2,078,853 (The prorated portion of the $30,833,333 the Mets are covering would get transferred to the new team; the Rangers don't get to keep it.)
  • Andrew Heaney: $2,026,882
  • David Robertson: $1,559,140
  • Jos Leclerc: $974,462
  • Kirby Yates: $701,613
  • Andrew Chafin: $662,634 (Chafin has a 2025 club option for $6.5 million.)
  • Carson Kelly: $545,699
  • Jos Ureña: $272,849
  • Travis Jankowski: $265,054
  • Robbie Grossman: $233,871

Robertson would have a place in the pen. Martinez, Dubin, take your pick.

I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.

Given his injury history, I'm not sure I would want him either. He's overdue for another elbow blowout.

Good.

Don't look now but our starting rotation has their second wind and is killing it right now.

We don't need any of their sloppy seconds. We got this dude on the way instead.

    It's all beyond stupid. Currently 7 hours away in another state and few years ago it was 8.5 and still blacked out. Only options to (legally) watch were DirecTV or drive an hour further away. The current RSN setup needs to die a quick, but horrific death.

    I've had a bunch of conversations with Rangers' fans the past few weeks traveling back-and-forth to DFW for work and it has really changed my perspective on the Astros' organization.

    Rangers fans have 2 things that they all seem to say...

    1.) Our injuries have been insane

    2.) The organization is positioned for the future and after last year, they're comfortable with a down year


    Counter that with the Astros...

    1.) Our injuries have been insane (at least 4 of expected 5 starting pitchers on the DL during every game this season...Tucker down 2 months, and counting)

    2.) 8 playoff appearances in 9 years (going on 9 out of 10), 7 ALCS appearances, 4 AL pennants & 2 WS championships and absolutely not comfortable with a down year at any point.


    On top of all of that, we continue to hear about how depleted and dead our farm system is, but with a major rash of injuries and then Jose Abreu dying in realtime right in front of us....we've sustained success by using our system. So, how can Rangers' fans be so comfortable with their future while fading into oblivion while the Astros "bleak" future is at the center of pushing them into the race?

    I was looking for a discussion about it, not a pissing match with a bunch of delusion and acting like Garcia's sudden decline couldn't possibly be due to him grabbing a bunch of attention and drawing the interest of people who noticed his head growth and erratic behavior.

    The only fans of theirs still active on that thread are pretty rational people. Real baseball fans, not drive-byers. I would suggest that thread because most Astros fans dont care much about the Rangers' day to day makeup and minor leagues. I think I can name 5 guys on their team, but that's it.

    Copium, and embracing their status as a one-hit wonder.

    Seriously, they better enjoy these next two months because their feel good ride is circling the drain. No way they replicate all those career-best seasons again at one time. It was the definition of lightning in a bottle... and in Garcia's case, maybe literally (haha).
    I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.

    With regard to the Astros farm system, we are told over and over again how depleted it is and how it's easily in the bottom quarter of all mlb farm systems …
    And yet… we keep bringing players up that are effective enough to keep us competitive…. Especially on the pitching front. Couple that with Sugarland being one of the 2 best Aaa teams . I have basically stopped listening to all the crying about the state of the Astros farm system.
