Texas' hitters accidentally remembered they are actually talented.

Homeruns by Janks, Taveras, and Adolis. Also, 11 hits total. Bradford shut down the Astros with 4 K in 2.1 innings.

I'd bring in Duran for Smith.

Bradford looked good. I totally forgot about him when talking about replacing Perez.

Last year we were a non contender so less pressure. He probably isn't someone we can count on if we are in the playoffs.

Granted, I don't follow the team like I once did. But I am getting a semi-rare opportunity to watch, and the announcing team made a point of saying he has a home ERA of about 1.40. So is he just getting mauled on the road, which may now be bleeding over to Arlington as well?

Sac bunt by Smith. Is he being showcased for some trade

If this is all it took to get Ohtani in a Rangers jersey, then Ohtani would be in a Rangers jersey.

I might just give them the RoughRiders.....yes all of them

 

[Bmurph]

Smith at 9 & DH again. Is something up?

Gotta have some dirt on Boch.....there is zero reason for him to be the DH ever.If he isn't playing a position in the field his bat is useless in the lineup

 

[armadillooutlaw]

Now we have the lead. I'd send out Chapman to close the ninth, while having Will Smith ready to go.

 

[Bmurph]

Well he managed to really F that stat up and then some

Preach brother preach.

Chapman has not thrown more than 1 inning so go with Smith

I get it strategically.
Not my preference, but I trust Smith.

 

[saddles]

It just couldn't be easy.

Welp...

 

[saddles]

So this is how the closer rile changes hands.

 

[scotsman1948]

Damn all that and we get this

I haven't trusted Smith all along but we had no other options....we need a closer or Chapman may get the chances soon

I still think they should trade for one and not Barlow from KC

Again it was something they should have addressed in the off season but they thought Leclerc could close games this year and what a joke that was
