I am surprised to see Jose in the line up after the way he pulled up on the final play last night.

AJ said it was just a cramp but he would still not give Altuve the option of playing the field today.

Looks like a lot of these Rangers fans just left a Trump rally.

Springer should have tagged there.

McHugh giving it right back.

I want to believe this team can make a run, but this starting staff seems like it's toast.

No, you have to let them catch up first.

McHugh looked terrible in the fourth, barely getting out of it and Hinch lets him pitch to five batters in the fifth.

#1 on Luhnow's shopping list has to be some top-of-the-rotation types.

McHugh is just absolutely allergic to run support.

He thought he had two a couple months ago. Agree that it should be his priority this offseason but pickins will be slim

I was absolutely sure the Rangers were going to turn two there on that unbelievable diving stop by profar, and I am relieved I don't have to feel the feelings that it was going to conjure up.

Gomez bunts a perfect single down the first base line and then steals second. Now, he's bleeding from a wound above his orbital bone.

Should have been out at 2b but Correa neglected to catch the throw. Something always going wrong against these guys.

It's a bit of everything against the Rangers: Correa fails to field a routine throw. Great throw by Gattis.

I think Bregman is the second best hitter on the club.

Say what you want about the Ranger manager, "He's a fuckwad, he's an ass, he's a dick, he's a piece of crap, he's a ninny and his mother is a whore... etc." He does manage his dugout well.

Very nice.  The ideal ending for me would have somehow involved Gomez fucking up on the last play, but this will do.
