Yes, and it was the Sonic Slam inning. Someone just got robbed of 25,000 because Choo got under it 1/16 of an inch

Really sucks for that person

Kind of feels like one of those games earlier in the season where the bullpen is going to cough it up.

Yeah he does look frustrated this evening. However the pen has been our bane this year.

Decided to stay up for this one and now regretting it. :-)

14 more strikeouts in 8 innings for the Rangers. Strikeout rate is absurd for this team

Is he really planning to throw Claudio for 2 innings?


Poor guy will be missing an arm when this season is over.

Wouldn't shock me at all to see him go the way of so many previous "closers" for us in 2018.

His arm may potentially fall off over the next 11 games

Alex Claudio has been a beautiful Mfer

He's going to pitch more innings this season than his previous 3 years combined. So I see your point.

Gotta say, if we were to somehow come back to make the post season then this may be one of the most magnanimous comebacks I've seen. Certainly here in Arlington.

Rangers are in a good position to get that last WC spot. Had we kept Darvish, we'd have a better shot.

Would be nice to see one of those work out in our favor for once.

I recall one year we got screwed out of a division title pretty badly. We probably would've gotten it 99 times out of 100, but the circumstances were crazy bad. We had to play a 4 game series in Oakland, the very team that was chasing us. They swept us and the rest is history.

If the schedule makers gave us almost any other team, we would've won one game (at least) and held on, but we had to play a hungry Oakland team that threw the kitchen sink at us.

Not this garbage again. We weren't winning games with Darvish, no matter how good or not so good he pitched for us. Check the record, we are better off without him. I just hope Calhoun isn't a bust.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Calhoun is traded before next year begins.

I guess the Crawler just got back from an extended stay in the Negative Zone and brought us all back souvenirs...

in more POSITIVE news, the Rangers keep making things interesting. Now just 2.5 games back, with that Magic Number firmly camped at 9.
