Nice. Castro homers, and then AJ Shitzinski grounds into a double play. What more could a person ask for?
-
living high off the hog?
-
Springer is now behind in the USA Today MiLB POY vote that ends tonight. Seriously folks, get off your asses and vote Springer!!! Link in the TZ at http://www.spikesnstars.com/forums/index.php?topic=116061.msg480246#msg480246

Tune in just in time to see Toronto tie it up.
-
Did I say Toronto? That "T" threw me off. I mean Dallas. Or Arlington. Or Grand Prairie, or Irving, or Mesquite, or Garland, or Richardson, or South Oak Cliff...
-
Suck. Gentry homers, and then Grossman misplays a ball in the corner to allow a 2-out run to score. What did we do to deserve this?
-
With Martinez in, anyone know how many major league debuts that makes for the club this year and what the record is?
-
Damn, I thought Altuve had tied the game there.
-
How does Martinez look? Fine way to start your MLB career, come in with a man on and Beltre at the plate, get an inning-ending DP.

Not bad. He's got good movement on his fastball. I'm guessing he throws the 2 seam variety. His slider has been effective as well.

He may hang around awhile.

Not to diminish the accomplishment, but beltre smoked that ball and Dominguez made a slick backhanded pick a step or so to his right.
-
Astros load the bases with no outs and chase Holland. Some Ranger schlub coming in.

It didn't help he got to 3-0 on Beltre but that he came back to get him matters. He took care of the next inning pretty well despite a Dominguez error.

That's Cy Schlub to you.
-
That's Cy Schlub to you.
Gidp Schlub, apparently.

I thought Porter should have pinch hit for the rookie rather than Barnes. But I get to coach from the couch so naturally that makes me better.
-
Wallace in to pinch-hit for Barnes. He walks, and then Gonzales grounds out to end the inning. At least we got one run.
-
Marwin definitely has a strong arm.
-

He's down by 3% now.
-

You're a very optimistic person. I tend to focus on a different characteristic of that arm.
How many double plays can one team hit into? 9, I guess, in a regulation game. The Astros may accomplish that feat at some point this year.
-
I've tried to vote twice and neither time worked. It's rigged.
ETA: It's rigged, just like these Rangers' games.
-
Here comes the off-speed stuff to K Carter.
-
I'm not disagreeing with you all about the rigging of the vote, but I was able to vote at work and at home.
-
Good job Carter.
-
well, we get to see if Stassi does better this time with bases loaded.
-
And Stassi comes up with the bases loaded again.
-
Holy shit! I hope he's ok.
-
OMG. I pray he is alright. He got hit in the face.
I hate the Rangers.
-
Man I won't surprised if that's a busted jaw.
-
2 guys hit and Washington hasn't pulled him? what an asshole.
-
I love the fact that the rangers get time to warm up a pitcher.
-

He's giving him as much time in the pen as he can, because he'll only get 10 pitches once he enters.
-
I wish someone would step up with a big hit and put these fuckers down.
-
I love the fact that the rangers get time to warm up a pitcher.
the delay is to see if stasis can come back.
dallas is now the pinch runner.
-

Porter isnt exactly forcing the issue either
-
Wallace is up, so maybe there will be a big hit.
-
I wish someone would step up with a big hit and put these fuckers down.
Amen, brother.
-
If that's more than just a cut on his face the Astros will have to call up another rookie catcher.
-
fudge Wallace. all you needed was a hit.
-
Argh.
-
Swung late at a pitch out of the zone.
-

Jake Elmore is disappointed by your lack of faith.
-
How does Elmore feel about Wallace's at-bat?
-
There's alot to like about Lo.
-
How does Elmore feel about Wallace's at-bat?
He was also disappointed by that.
-
The Hoes give it to Nathan.
-
Altuve is not the epitome of selectivity.
-
is anyone on this team the epitome of selectivity?
-
Nathan's working hard to hold The Hoes.
-

There's a joke there. Either that or a tragedy.
-
me no feel good about this inning.
-

Could be both.
-

Just think about Brad and all will feel good.
-

You feeling low?
-
I thought in the shift that the shortstop didn't still play shortstop.
-

She's not feeling Lo.
-
How many regular-season big-leaguers have worn #63? That sure looks like a spring-training number.
-
Just think about Brad and all will feel good.
Thinking about Brad has not helped the Astros at all these past 3 seasons.
-
I saw a little league game last weekend where the bunt defense the shortstop charged and the 3b stayed back. Has nothing to do with this game but thought it was interesting.
-

He can't show off his arm if he's on the other side of the bag.
-
I've seen this movie before.
-

It won't help them tonight either. I didn't say all would be good.
-
Brocail is telling them not to be to down when they blow this game too.

I guess that would make it a Lo blow.

This team has hoes and (b)lo.
-
Stassi sent to the hospital for further observation. That's too bad.
-
and stassi goes to a local hospital for further evaluation.
that sucks for him.
-
It's time for these assholes to hit into a double play.
-
just because they hit into one doesn't mean the Astros turn it.
-
Heyward got a broken jaw today like that. I guess Girardi was right about the ball being a weapon.
-
Stassi sent to the hospital for further observation. That's too bad.
Astros will be getting on a plane after this game. I wonder what that means for Stassi.
-

Probably that his season is over.
-
Lo needs to throw more strikes. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
-
if they have the chance for a double play, I hope they get it turned.
-
I'd like to see a popped-up bunt on a squeeze.
-
4 1/2 infielders.
-
Not a good time to get squeezed by blue.
-
they beat the Astros not winning the world series. I hope they lose it all.
-
Grossman must have a strong arm. He overthrows home some.
-
You just beat the worst team in baseball, again, and you act like it's the World Series. Pitiful.
-

F em

These assholes
-
I guess that was inevitable.
-
And Nolan Ryan.........
-
And Derek Holland........and AJ...........
-
and Arod........and Bud Selig........I hope they catch the crabs from each other.

you said it much better than I did, but that is what I meant.
-
I fucking hate the Mariners.
-

I hadn't read yours when I hit post. Great minds think alike.
-
I fucking hate the Mariners.
Me too
-
I fucking hate the Mariners.
Now, if the Rangers celebrate like that after beating the Mariners I could understand.
-
I used to want to hit Carlos Zambrano with my car, but I've gotten to the point where I want to hit anyone playing or supporting the Rangers with my car.

Do like that they kept fighting after getting down by 2 runs late.

For such an overmatched team, they don't think overmatched most of the time.
-
I'm not saying I hope the Rangers go into their locker room tonight and crotch critters have infested their clothes but they put them on anyway before they realize they are there and then sewer rats attack them and eat off all of their gentalia trying to eat the crotch critters and the players beat each other into unconsciousness with bats trying to kill the sewer rats but you never know what might happen.
-

Agreed
-

Even Bedard fought hard when he could be mailing it in after not getting traded at the deadline.
-

2 unearned runs. Kids.
Still, watching them gives me hope for the future. A little experience will kill the yips with some of them and with the talent coming up this team will be pretty to watch.

And then they get swept by the Mariners. And the same thing happens to their fans.

That pisses me off... A lesser candidate winning means we just got our asses handed to us... The fact that it was the natural heir apparents to the rightful forced move-to-the-AL team only makes it sting worse...

remember, the "fan vote" is only 2 votes out of I dunno how many. The USA Today baseball writers each get a vote.
And, it's fucking USA Today.
