Series Thread: Let's get back on track against the stuggling Stros.

Let's see.....the only reason Hanser Alberto is here is b/c of his glove.

Today, he's missed an easy bunt situation, missed and easy out at first, and hit into a DP.

This fucker is outta here. RIGHT?

And for those of you/us who were wondering why we traded for Bobby Wilson; is your question answered?

Absolutely yes.....I didn't initially understand the trade. So I'm on the team.

Elvis wants to stay a Ranger it seems.

Bobby was brought in for the catching aspect and run game. Any offense he adds is just a bonus.

Meh, it's such a small sample size it's almost certainly the outlier, but he does do a great job behind the plate which is his primary job.

I never question the wisdom of JD, personally.

I believe Mr T is on the suspended list for PEDs. No same-same.

Was a joke more or less. I still remember the year some radio station tried to get him voted into the all star game. He would have been bussed from Frisco to the game. So hilarious. I think he finished 3rd in the voting.

It's hilarious how every time we bring a catcher in this year the guy does something crazy with the bat though. It's a bunch of sample noise, but I will take any production this offense can get.

The guy is the best GM in baseball imo.

In a 162 game season you've got to get contributions from unlikely spots. I'm glad our catching situation had been such a boon after we lost Chirinos for a big chunk of the season, but regression will occur eventually.

Keuchel is the only pitcher that can give up 6 runs and have his peripherals improve. That's why Astros fans keep saying he's been unlucky.

Then they clearly aren't watching the games.

It's because the MLB has a conspiracy against him and his skill set of the low strike. They changed the rule just to make him a bad pitcher!

 

[RevSader]

That was not a good walk.

Has nothing to do with the fact that he's a left handed junk baller who was due to regress because his stuff simply isn't that good.

 

[romeo212000]

Wow. Heads up job by Rua.

 

[Duane1952]

Good job Elvis and Rua.

 

[DT LUNA]

Good job Elvis and Rua.

Pretty darn slick

 

[romeo212000]

Too much to hope for two big hits from Bobby today.

Welcome to the game, Hanser.
