Rangers 2, Astros 1
W: Detwiler, L: Qualls, S: Feliz
I know the Astros’ win streak had to end at some point but damn did they have to have it end against the Rangers? I just hate their front-running fans. They are as bad as Cubs fans. And why did Roots Sports not remove the microphone from around the fans yelling Let’s Go Rangers? I cannot think of anything more irritating to hear on the broadcast, besides Ashby.
Seems like Keuchel is going to be the bad luck pitcher this season, he does his best to not give up any runs (or only 1) and his team cannot score any for him. Keuchel had 6 consecutive strike outs, which is odd since he is usually getting outs on the ground. I do not understand why the Astros do not want to score runs for Keuchel. I guess they believe he will win regardless, I guess they forget they are responsible for half of the score. The Rangers have scored 3 of the 4 runs Keuchel has given up this season. WTF???
Gattis has seemed to get some hits of late; his batting average is a season high .200. The middle of the line-up needs to start doing something and it wouldn’t hurt if they rest of the team
The Rangers had four doubles in this game and only the last one scored and that is the one that lost the game.
I’m done for the Spring semester. Anyone want to grab a burger before summer school starts?
