I'm watching the Rangers broadcast and listening to Ford and Sparks. I'm about to have to switch over to attsportsnet because the camera work is so shitty. They seem to have at least 5 cameras or more so it's their director who doesn't know what he's doing. Very amateurish.

2 nights in a row he's given up an out at first.

Command just wasn't there. His fastball was all over the place, curveball less effective as a result. Lots of behind in the count. The HR Cabrera hit was a letter high fastball on a 3-2 count. Mazara's RBI single was with 2 strikes. Just couldn't seem to put guys away like he normally does.

Astros Fan in Big D · « **Reply #93 on:** April 03, 2019, 09:09:36 am »

Yes, FB was guesswork and he seemed frustrated by it.

He stayed on the top step and waited for the inning to end and slapped appreciative 5s to Will and Chirinos before hitting the showers.

Col. Sphinx Drummond · « **Reply #94 on:** April 03, 2019, 02:01:15 pm »

Andrus RBI single was 6 inches above the zone. If there weren't a man on second and third, Gallo's single would have been an easy field by Altuve in the shift.
