We have the heart of the order up in the top of the 8th... If we could get a few runs across, while batting 6 or 7, we'll get the heart up again in the 9th...

I'm trying to stay positive!!!!

This is it, pretty much our last true chance in the 8th.

We got this because we're all being positive... Not concerned at all about losing this game...

Unfortunately this feels like its trending toward a loss. Need next 2 games.

I must say, Martin hasn't done that bad of a job in relief...




... hope I just didn't jinx him...

That's how I felt last night and I got called out for it...

... but it's much easier to only post after a game rather than during the game... Easier to say, I told you so, etc when posting in here after the game...

very difficult to figure out what's real on this team

offense and pitching have both carried each other at times, and it's been pretty fun

starters can't continue to average 5 RPG given up, and average 5.1 innings per game, that's for sure. that's their sad numbers for the past 10 games.

The rangers have the worst bullpen ERA in the league and we couldnt do anything after Darvish left.

Theres tomorrow and sunday to take advantage of that. Unless the starting pitching continue to give up multiple runs in the 1st.

This is in part why I find it hard to embrace the fact that we're a serious contender in the race for a postseason birth... Is this sustainable enough to have the offense continue to carry the pitching staff? Hard to really buy in because history tells us, no...

Best offense they've had in over a decade. Well over in fact. The starting pitching is in a bad funk right now, but wasn't this bad just a few weeks ago. The bullpen still worries me and will all season if they don't do something before the trade deadline, but I doubt the starters are all in this shape for the rest of the year.

The problem is a big chunk of their tougher games are here right now and they pick THIS time to struggle. Getting swept by the twinkies is one thing, but you CANNOT have the same thing happen with Texas.
