Bot 1:
Reddick singles to RF
Altuve K looking on 2-2 curve
Correa grounds to a 5-4 FC
McCann grounds between Napoli's legs, runners on the corners
Gattis (DH today) grounds up middle to Andrus, throw is NOT IN TIME! 4-1
Yuli K's swinging.

Bregman airmails the throw on a sac bunt - runners 2nd and 3rd, no outs.

The E5 led to a one out sac for, and here's been no scoring since.

Top 4, 5-1.

5 straight games with a HR. Had already set a record for being first player to HR 4 games in a row starting at 4 different positions.

Not real excited about Beltran pinch hitting for Marisnick. Effectively uses 2 players.

Marwin's 9 HR already exceed 2 of the 3 projections I had in his 40 for 40; FanGraphs had him at 11.

Catcher wasn't set up on the inside corner and marwin was looking away, so it definitely appeared inside without the benefit of seeing it as a strike on the pitch tracker on the broadcast.

There is an enormously fat Rangers fan sitting behind us wearing a "Don't Mess With Texas" shirt with Odor punching Bautista that is about 3 sizes shorter than his huge gut. I've made the mistake twice of turning around just in time to see the horror show that is his gut.

This game got not fun real fast.

Two interesting things from the game:

Marwin threw his bat down in disgust on his home run.

Gomez admired and slightly bat flipped on his long fly out early in the game.

Some AM stations have digital signals as well. My radio will occasionally switch back and forth from digital to analog and I can't tell where the hell I am in the game.

This guy is out of his mind.

Plus, I like the contrast between his reaction and Gomez's.

The rules of distinction were thrown out with the baseball cap.  It does not lend itself to protocol.  It is found today on youth in homes, classrooms, even in fine restaurants.  Regardless of its other consequences, this is a breach against civility.  A civilized man should avoid this mania.

I'd like to voice my opinion on mound visits.  The Rangers talked to their pitcher way too many times.  Seriously, you want to "speed up the game" cut that shit out.  Instead of a three hour game, this was 4.  Four hours!  But, damn the weather was great and I sat by some nice guys.

Jesus Christ, this is amazing: http://www.star-telegram.com/sports/mlb/texas-rangers/article148766659.html

Pick to your heart's content on this fuckshow, but my favorite is: "With the bases loaded and one out, Gallo snared a hot shot from Jose Altuve, stepped on third and threw to first for the inning-ending double play."

The only thing hot about that ground ball was the amount of heat I felt wanting to scream at Altuve for another shit at bat.
