When Dunning could not get the high strike early he never recovered

Hope we never have that garbage umpire behind the plate again ever…

We pretty much choked this game all over the place. But it is a long season and right now we are in a little bit of a lull and it was bound to happen. I would feel alright if Gray was pitching in this series but Eovaldi and Heaney need to come through big time.

Umpiring wasn't the reason our vaunted lineup couldn't get runners home with nothing but a sac fly twice to win it
I just saw the pitch tracker when Jung was up with a man on 2nd and 3rd with 1 out and it looked like not one pitch to him was a strike but he struck out swinging at what looked like 3 balls. Sad thing is if he walks then Heim flied out may have score the winning run. You cannot get so anxious in a big moment that you are in swing mode.

A pretty similar thing happened to Duran at the end of the 3rd game in the TB series. Guys are being too aggressive trying to get the big hit while opposing pitchers are avoiding the strike zone at all costs and getting away with it.

When this series started I knew it would be a tough one so I thought 2 - 2 would be acceptable now I honestly believe we’ll be lucky to take 1 of 4

Evan says the Rangers chose not to announce the exact procedure deGrom had. I believe that is a first for me.

Too many times it seems our hitters take strikes that are clearly on the plate and then swing at pitches completely out of the zone. Nathaniel had a terrible AB and did this exact thing and he and JJ weren’t the only culprits

Jung is a rookie, so he's gonna do rookie shit like this.

Lowe watching meatballs sail by with that big stupid dumb look on his face, though, drives me nuts.
