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

[DT LUNA]

Profar really struggling at the plate on both sides

 

[Kelleyman]

We may get some tandem pitching tonight. I think Dutch may come in hopefully at abouth 6 and get multiple innings

 

[DT LUNA]

Nice K AJ

Been waiting to see what happens there.
AJ on fire

 

[WilltheThrill]

Love the results so far, but I do wish AJ could learn to pitch more efficiently. He hits 100 pitches by the 5th inning every start, and he's right around that pace tonight. He wastes too many pitches instead of just attacking the zone.

 

[DT LUNA]

Gomez keeps on getting it done . Nice dbl

 

[Bmurph]

Mazara is going to HAVE to learn to lay off that pitch

 

[DT LUNA]

Should have gotten another fun there

 

[WastinSomeTime]

So many useless stats shown.

How does that work for you? If we want guys to come around we need to complain about them. That is what happens to me.

 

[Bmurph]

close but Castro got him that call

 

[WastinSomeTime]

It was outside. There is no way that tracker was right. Even Castro tried to bring it back.

 

[DT LUNA]

close but Castro got him that call

For sure he did

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Moreland struck out on a fastball low and way inside and now at a low breaking pitch.

 

[WilltheThrill]

Guys, it's Brad Peacock. He's the very definition of spare. I hate this zero margin for error nonsense. We should be lighting him up. I want to see a sense of urgency amongst our hitters.

 

[Bmurph]

AJ is good for the gopher balls

 

[WilltheThrill]

And that's why you need to score more than 1 against dogshit Brad Peacock. You can't expect AJ Griffin to pitch a shutout. The poor guy's got no room for error.

Well we surely did not expect one run to be enough to win this game did we?

 

[WastinSomeTime]

AJ pitching a good game but the offense not looking too good. Third inept performance in last four.

That's my point. You can't expect one to be enough. I want to see a contribution from Profar, Mazara, Moreland, and/or Chirinos.

We need to get runs from someone other than Beltre, Desmond, Odor, and Lucroy.
