Bregman with a single

Aussie Astro · « **Reply #6 on:** September 04, 2016, 02:15:46 pm »

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

Col. Sphinx Drummond · « **Reply #7 on:** September 04, 2016, 02:20:02 pm »

Yuli drives in Bregman with a bloop single.

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

Ha, I walked around all pissed off yesterday because of that final play.

Springer was going for another dinger on that one! That was some swing..

Ashby takes some perverse joy in reminding us how bad the Astros record is against these hooligans.

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

Springer should have tagged there.

Big hit there by Gattis to break the bad momentum.

Bunting with two strikes? Why Rasmus, why?

jbm · « **Reply #24 on:** September 04, 2016, 03:56:31 pm »

McHugh giving it right back.

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

MrKnuckleball · « **Reply #25 on:** September 04, 2016, 03:59:50 pm »

Might want to pull McHugh.....

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.

juliogotay · « **Reply #28 on:** September 04, 2016, 04:03:31 pm »

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

MusicMan · « **Reply #29 on:** September 04, 2016, 04:07:20 pm »

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.

jbm · « **Reply #35 on:** September 04, 2016, 04:28:59 pm »

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

jbm · « **Reply #37 on:** September 04, 2016, 04:33:11 pm »

That inning ended rather well.

That's one nasty change up.

Col. Sphinx Drummond · « **Reply #38 on:** September 04, 2016, 05:02:13 pm »

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

Col. Sphinx Drummond · « **Reply #39 on:** September 04, 2016, 05:10:23 pm »

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.

Col. Sphinx Drummond · « **Reply #40 on:** September 04, 2016, 05:15:01 pm »

Meanwhile, Eduardo Rodriguez is currently 7 innings deep in a hittless venture against the A's

Just like that... Desmond triples on first pitch.

Beltran goes down (on strikes).

Beltre grounds out short to first, Desmond scores.

Ballgame. Astros 7 Ranger 6

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