Series Thread: Rangers, Astros play final series in Houston 9/12-9/14

And another 1 run victory.

I would like to see both Derek and Martin pitch every 5th game and then decide at the end of the month who gets the 4th spot. That is assuming Colby pitches well enough to get the 3rd spot.

 

[saddles]

We gained a game on Cleveland and to me that is the main thing. We have played very well at home. The West is ours.

Yes, that is the main thing to me as well.

 

[saddles]

Does anyone know the pitching probables for Friday and Saturday? I am trying to decide which game I want to go to.

 

[saddles]

Profar with a really big night tonight.

No, not that Profar.

Based on the rotation it should be Hamels and Lewis.

I am glad it isn't Yu. Twice I have gotten tickets to go see him pitch and he has come down with a strained neck both times I believe. lol

Couldn't go wrong with either imo. I've seen Darvish pitch twice and they've won both times. Never seen Colby pitch and I really need to.

I saw him pitch a great game last year and the BP came in and blew it to pieces.

Yeah, I would love to see Darvish pitch. It just never has worked out so I could go when he has pitched.

 

[PhantomWarrior]

What kind of question is that?

Indeed.

So Dyson looked shaky again and blew the save. Just wish he threw more clean innings but I'm afraid that is not how he rolls.

BUT...the good news is Perez had a really nice outing, on the road against a good team, and looks to be working really well with Lucroy. AND...both Kela and Diekman pitched very well in high leverage situations so hopefully they are both turning the corner after recent strings of poor outings.

Heard this today. The Astros and the Rangers have the exact same record against all other teams. Meaning you throw out the 16 (?) games against each other and it's a dead heat.

Always fun to dust off this old gem:

Five things we learned Wednesday: The Astros will catch the Rangers

And instead of giving this guy less bandwidth, ESPN has chosen to have his column frequency increased to multiple articles and posts per day. Laughable.

Someone with Twitter please call this guy out.

Desmond gets a day off.

On Jonathan Lucroy, more of concern was he got hit in helmet on that backswing, but checked out OK. Told this is STRICTLY a rest day.

To clarify, told this is strictly a rest day for both Desmond and Lucroy
