Series Thread: Rangers Host the Astros For Four Games May 15-18

It sucks when your cruising with your ace and then to have the bullpen let you down.
Bochy big mistake riding a reliever 3 days in a row

Scuse my French but he’s a fackin idiot. Why Armstrong 3 days in a row? Just dumb shit.

Doesn’t surprise me, he has nobody hitting behind him.

I put this on Bochy. Time to move Jung up to 4th

 

[fanman8825]

I would put in this lineup. This is based off who started earlier
Ss Smith
Cf Langford
Lf Carter
3B Jung
1B Burger
C Heim
Rf Garcia
Dh Peterson
2b Semian

Both Semian and Peterson have been so bad that is doesn't matter which one bats 8 or 9.
Bochy would never do this but I just wanted to throw it out there
Burger seems to hitting better but it's tough to put together a good lineup when most of the guys are struggling.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Mahle will have to shut Houston down as Blanco has been pitching very well lately.

You think his contract amount should demand he gets babied. I think the contract amount demands that he doesn't need to be babied.

You have to be careful with a often injured major talent like his to get as much as you can of what he offers, if you don't then you made a huge boneheaded $190M mistake. We were lucky when they dodged the Rendon contract and may be lucky they didn't sign Sasaki...

I just don't know if there is any evidence that his recent injuries were due to him being overworked.

I do think that signing deGrom for that much money will be looked at as being a boneheaded move, or at best, an unlucky one.
