I knew this series would be the toughest on the road trip.

We gotta deal with sale tomorrow and nick Martinez goes on Thursday.

Meanwhile, the tigers can't even score a run on the Astros after almost 1 and a half games down there.

Only thing that matters is in Boston and that isn't much.

Boston has 8 walks. Damn.... we had been doing so well at not giving those up lately.

How many runs do the umpires owe us now?

Welke was fucking terrible, calling balls and strikes and they totally fucked up the Mazara call at the plate. They were looking at the catcher blocking the plate vs the hand avoiding the tag.

4. And Jeffress another 4.

How can Jeffress have been doing so good in Milwaukee in save situations and then just totally suck since he was traded to Texas? He's been garbage

Pitching really let us down today

You missed the game mostly, but there were many factors that led to the Rangers losing this one. Shit calls by umpires, BABIP and poor defense again didnt help

Banister should have gotten himself tossed in this one

DDJ's defense in LF is a liabilty, does it make up for his offensive production?

DDJ was especially rotten in the field yesterday, as was Lucroy behind the plate

How does that happen? Doesn't the manager tell them what he wants reviewed or are the umps left to assume...

Either way Banister is the one who fucked up there, he should've been clear on what he wanted reviewed or he should've pitched a fit when they reviewed the wrong thing, still not understanding that whole thing

Can't say the umps fucked up the call if they weren't even looking at the thing they should've been looking at...

There are only 5 spots in the rotation and we have two guys joining it soon. Cashner has been teetering on the edge of failure for awhile now, he's probably an odd man out.

Rangers' surge has them back in contention

The Rangers' surge in the standings over the past two weeks has been effective in one way. It has stopped the tide of speculation that the club will be a seller at the July 31 non-waiver Trade Deadline and that Yu Darvishwould be high on the list.

The Rangers are officially contenders again. That could easily change again in the next six weeks because the schedule is about to get much tougher.

Well we all know what to do with garbage.

Him or Griffin, along with Martinez is my guess

They all have warts thus far, though Perez has started looking somewhat better recently

Hamels is probably at least another month away from returning though

Tyson Ross we'll see, 2 more weeks is my guess
