And Walker, Montero, and McCullers.

We do a little fraternizing with the enemy. If Yordan hits a home run, they better give a close shot when he passes second base.

Can't say enough of how important this series against the Braves is. Winning two of three would be huge, with Rangers at home against the Blue Jays. Lambert, Wesneski and Brown scheduled to pitch, with Rangers having Rocker, Quantrill and DeGrom starting. Would be outstanding to go to Seattle with the division lead of at least one game since it appears that they will have Gilbert and Kirby scheduled to pitch against Javier and TBD (bullpen game with Pecko?), which on paper looks like in Seattles favor. Then go to Sacramento and hopefully win 3 of 4. And hope the Rangers lose 5 of their last nine games.

I think we need 5 wins. That forces Texas to go 7-2. And I don't think they have that in them with their schedule.

I'm scared to death of those Seattle games. I don't think we win either.

That means 5 out of the other 7.

Doesn't matter who pitches. Seattle owns the Astros for some strange reason.

Or if he gets a crazy $$ offer.

So you're saying everyone on this board needs to pool our money and buy the team…I love it!!

First order of business…so long Joe!!!

Farmer: GM

Charley: head of promotions, bobble heads and on field Orbit mascot

W: scoreboard operator

Frio: head of Astros charities

So do the A's

Nice challenge Vazquez!

clean 1st for Lambert

Need homerun-itis to break out again

Yordan walks

Braves lose challenge

number 104

Dubie grounds out to Tuve in his first AB.

Pete looks sharp.

As does Mahle.

Pena...it's the catcher running man

Pena blows a relatively easy grounder by the 9 hole.

3 scoreless for Lambert

Thankfully it only costs Lambert four pitches.

Mahle would have been a nice pickup at the deadline. Appears the Braves got a steal.

Rangers get to Cease for 4 early. Hopefully they can give up that lead like last night.

2 run fielder's choice error opened the floodgates.

Pena you can't swing at a pitch like that...

first hit of the ballgame in the 4th

not good

367 feet

when Lambert loses it...he loses it

single
HR
double

Dubie just missed a homer.

And we give up a Crawford box shot by an oppo hitter who just flips it out there.

Followed by Dubon who smoked one off the top of the facade.

Pete is falling apart.

All on off-speed pitches, I believe.

I wish our LHH could understand the concept that the boxes are close and try just once to go oppo.

Just once.

Strands the runner at second.

No sir, we are a try to pull everything team, even if it is a pitch tailing away in the opposite batters box.

Yordan doubles

need to score him
