Series Thread: Houston "you have a problem", the Texas Rangers 9/14-17

Stop fucking around Gallardo. Just because you have a 6 run lead doesn't mean you can throw batting practice.

If we hold on and win tonight and avoid a sweep, I really like our chances to win the AL west. Granted, it's not over until it's over, but we would be at home for the last 7 games ( which has been good to us lately) and the Astros would have no games in the juice box left ( the only place they excel). I'm hoping the twins can hang in the wild card as long as possible, we might need them to beat the royals once or twice. It would be a shame for the 2 hottest teams in the AL to play each other ( Rangers and Jays). I don't want to play Toronto, and I bet Toronto would prefer to play the wild card team. With that said, who do you think we eventually play?

I think we should worry about holding onto this 4 run lead right now.

 

[romeo212000]

Good enough, Yo.

 

[DT LUNA]

Let's get those runs back.

 

[romeo212000]

Shitty call, blue.

Gallardo scares me to death. I have zero faith in him holding this lead. No doubt we will need to score more runs. Rangers got to get this one with McHugh and Keuchel on deck.

No matter. Got to play the one in front of you each day.

Are you not the one who said we had no chance against Keuchel last time we faced him. And we knocked him out of the game early.

It has been awhile since I looked to see how Jared Eickhoff is doing. Tonight the kid had his third consecutive start of going 7 innings and has averaged giving up 1 run in those 3 starts. 6 of his 7 starts have been quality starts. Happy for the kid. Good to see him doing so well.

Yes he was. You'd think he'd get tired of tasting his own foot, but he just keeps coming back for more.

Hope he has a great career.

He is going to shock us all one of these times and say something positive about the Rangers.

 

[Duane1952]

A good throw would have had him.

I'm the guy who said save Hamels for the Astros. Hey I hope Gallardo and the Rangers hold on in this one, but Gallardo could have beat the As saving Hamels for today. But I'm all in. Let's win the one in front of us.

Glad to get Valbuena out of the game.

He has done very well but glad to have Hamels

Thanks, but I'll take 3 starts from Hamels down the stretch over 2.

You need go back to page 14 and read your post. You said that was a must win and we ain't beating Keuchel. As usual you wrong with your negative comments.

If Hamels and Lewis are set to play the Tigers, wouldn't it be wiser to push their starts out to Angels series?
