There's an art to being HBP and not getting hurt...

Back when those guys were playing it probably helped that the average fastball was a good deal slower. Lol

Looks like Gray is done

 

[Kelleyman]

Duran with the blast

 

[Duane1952]

Duran Bomb.

 

[DT LUNA]

Going going GONE!!!...Duran

Looks like Gray is done

I hate to see the bullpen come in, even with a 5 run lead.

Looks like Gray is done

Heck, I'd let him try to finish this out since the bullpen is bad.

 

[Duane1952]

Thompson needs to be sent down.

 

[Kelleyman]

National call on the blast

 

[Duane1952]

Hang on, the bullpen is in.

 

[saddles]

So happy for Ezequiel Duran. And so happy about the Gallo trade.

 

[DT LUNA]

Guaranteed a split

 

[Duane1952]

Win

 

[armadillooutlaw]

Gray has only allowed one run over fifteen innings in his last two starts, and now has an ERA of 3.15.
He's held opponents to a .224 batting average so far this year.
Fantastic.

Texas really needs a closer and some help for the bad BP but I still think they need another bat that can plug in the 4 hole and bump everyone down.

Adolis is good for the occasional great game here and there but the inconsistency, the .240 BA and the 3 strikeouts like today leave a lot to be desired. Go get a guy with some power but that also is a contact put the ball inlay guy.

Seagar might be an option but for whatever reason he "has" to hit behind Marcus in the 2 hole every single day

Any idea on who they possibly could go after.

At some point not necessarily this season Evan Carter should lead off. That moves the order down a notch

Halos blow a lead as well
