-
I like double plays.
-
B2:
Correa flies out F9
Gurriel flies out F7 the wall in front of the pen
Reddick taps one up the first base line...1-3

Yuli picked the wrong part of left field to hit a 360 footer.
-
T3:
Somebody strikes out, but Jordan Reed is yapping, so we don't know who
Choo strikes out swinging
Profar lines a single to RF
Gallo strikes out swinging
Morton strikes out the side again. But still no score

Profar sucks.
Hope he keeps it up.

Looks to the roof as if the roof was to blame. Make em pay.
-
B3:
Marwin pops to SS...Profar drops it...E6 for the Astros' first baserunner.
Gattis pops out F5 in foul territory
Stassi grounds into 5-4-3 double play
Scoreless.
-
T4:
Beltre chops to 3B...Bregman fields it behind the bag and throws from well in foul ground to get Beltre easily. What a play
Guzman...3-0...3-1...3-2...strikes out swinging
Rua...0-2...1-2...2-2...3-2...singles to LF
Centeno grounds out 6-3
No score
-
Astros with a pair of singles to start the 4th...
-
Astros with the bases drunk, nobody out...
-
Bases juiced . . .
-
That's an effective strategy for staying out of the double play.
-
see if they can make something happen.
-
Correa with a 2-run single!
-
LaManBun!!!!
5-0 Astros!
-
Finally! Seems like I’m always yelling at Correa to swing at the first pitch..,and Yuli! He like-a the first pitch too!

I think it’s going to take Yuli a few games to round into form.

Profar, pro good.

It seems that last night and thus far today Astros are taking more cuts early in counts.
Might be my imagination.

Yes. We need a gif of that salt bae dude sprinkling Little Yuli G’s onto the baseball field.
-
rangers broadcast immediately excused profar for that one.
-

I still think we need another hitter. The bottom of the order is not nearly as tough.
-

Springer flairs one into CF for the Astros' first hit
Bregman lines a single to LF, Springer to 2B
Altuve hit by pitch, Springer to 3B, Bregman to 2B

Gurriel homers to LF on the first pitch...Altuve scores, Correa scores
Reddick strikes out swinging
Marwin strikes out swinging
Gattis pop to SS in foul territory...Profar drops it...no error, though it should have been...flies out F7
Astros vaunt a little...lead 5-0
-
Daniels must kick himself about three times a day for not pulling the trigger on one of those deals three or four years ago where Profar was the asking price for a genuine player.
-
Kiner-Falefa with his first big lead homer...5-1
-
Morton's first earned run allowed this season.
-
Morton looking to challenge Cole’s Ks.
-
#9 now
-
That was a devastating curve for strike 3 on Choo.
-
Morton's first earned run allowed this season.
Hang ‘em, bang ‘em. Even rookies.
-
Too bad his pitch count is high, prob won’t catch Cole. Today, anyway.
-
T5:
Kiner-Falefa homers to LF
Robinson strikes out swinging
Choo strikes out swinging
Profar strikes out looking
5-1 Astros
-

When he did not get traded at the Aug 31 deadline last year, Profar refused to play. The Express put him on the DL after a few days.
-
CHARLIE!
-

I would guess he'll pitch the 6th then it'll be bullpen time.
Btw every strikeout pitcher in both leagues is checking their schedule to see when they play the rangers.

This is all you need to know about the former #1 prospect in all of baseball:
Rangers fans are happy to have odor as the regular 2B over Profar.

Of course they are: Odor has actually had one good season.

Stassi pops out F6...Profar didn't drop that one
Springer...0-2...1-2...2-2...singles to LF
Bregman pops out F2
Altuve walks, Springer to 2B
Correa...full count...hammers one to 3B, but Beltre there to catch it on a line...another at em.
5-1 Astros
-
Pretty good AB getting it full then hitting it on the screws.

Beltre with a solo HR...5-2 Astros

IMO Gattis is the primary problem there.
-
Was thinking about some championship cufflinks. They don't look that good. Will stick with the regular star ones.

I am going to get some.

Stassi has had some decent at bats when he's been in there. But Fisher, Marisnick, Gattis...puke.

I was hoping they'd have some that looked like the top of the rings.

DH, LF, and C. If Tucker continues to have good at bats in AAA surely he’ll get the call before the all star break. I don’t mind the catchers’ production.

McCann is off to a good start. Tucker will help immensely if he is for real in MLB.

He’s never hit well as a DH.

I have more faith in Marwin than Gattis.

DH seems to be a position in search of a player on this team.

We really needed Reed to step up.

Still need a LHP in the pen also.
-
No pbp, but 5-2 Astros top 8.
Peacock in
Profar 2B one out.
Gallo HR
5-4 slider down, hit pole
Beltre F8. Two out.
-
I know that Gallo has a hole in there if you can get the slider all the way to his back foot, but boy, if you miss...
-
I was just wondering if Peacock has been overused.
-
I had a bad feeling that was going to happen. I wanted a fourth k but didn't think I was going to get it.

He seems to be all or nothing. 3 k's yesterday.
Crowd getting ugly.
-
Oh, fuck.
-
Unreal. Guzman homer
5-5
-
Well, that sucks.
-
I didn't think that was anywhere close to a homer off the bat.
-
Well, it usually takes until August before Hinch ruins good middle relievers, so, ahead of schedule.
-
Well, that sucks.
Decent pitch too.
3 homers in last two innings. His slider is flatter than it was last year.

Lot of hard hit balls, gotta stop them here. A shame Morton won’t get a win.

Bullshit. Get out off here with that crap.

I just hope it is the Astros giving rangers false hope.

Yuli at 5 should make 6-7-8's opportunities better.

Pro hitter. It’s hard to remember a time when he’s looked overmatched at the plate.

The pitch location graphic tells the tale: all the pitches were in the low/ inside area.
". . . change the hitters eye level . . ."
-Smoltz, a million times during playoffs last year

Giles is deadly when he stays out of the hitter’s zone.

The pitch to Guzman was around his ankles. Ankle-high, I mean. Very low and outside

Both he and Gallo are so long that they can still get the good part of the bat on the ball if that's what they're looking for.

Time for Gattis to accomplish something.

Nope. Bot 4 notwithstanding, Bats, they are sick.

Derek Fisher pinch runner time?

Wow, I'm surprised that Fisher is still on the bench.

If Harris misses it, it's a double play. Ugh.

Ok, time to quit fucking around and have some professional ABs.

Or if he gets it, it's a force at home. The only thing that could screw them was the thing that happened.

Bregman and Altuve agree.

If Martin wanted to throw one to the backstop, that would be fine with me.

Crap.
excuse me tapper to get the lead runner.

Instead he gets a borderline pitch called a strike and it entirely changes the at bat.

So borderline.
The seams may have scratched the bottom of the zone.

Well crap

I don't like any of this.

Several atem balls today.

Times like this are when I wish they didn't carry so many pitchers. Would be nice to have a decent pinch hit option here.

Ugh. Blow a 5-run lead.

Sucks when a shitty team runs into a couple of pitches and you hit screamers right at Beltre.

The problem is that at the moment they're having trouble filling lineup spots 1 -9, much less 10, 11 , 12, etc.
-
Rangers have scored exactly 1 run this series that didn't come on a HR.
-
Lots of bad luck in that game. Bad pitching too. Fucking walk to Profar was the winning run. Harris has not been the same since his injury last year.

I cringe when he comes in games, especially with runners on.

McTaggart notes that Peacock allowed eight home runs to lefty hitters in 243 plate appearances, and is already up to three this year - all of them on his slider. Peacock:
It just wasn't my day today. I've just got to be better against lefties. I haven't done a good job against them this year and I have to try to change something up and figure it out.

Pssst, Brad. Get on top of your slider.
