Series Thread: Rangers Host the Astros for Three Games September 4-6

Based on his injury he could always do that. Can he hit? Let me know when he starts taking batting practice. Losing a CY candidate and ROY winner for sure and an All Star catcher for a time who is just now getting close to 100% was a kick in the gut.

Well, the fielding part would have been difficult.

I may have missed something but why was Duran out for a couple of games?

Just tape it up like old school and get out there. Really hard to tape it and bat. But Beltre would have by golly. LOL!

Howard pitched in 3 games this season. Once in June and twice in July. Don't think Bochy or CY put any faith in him.

Really. Keeping him on the 40 man and not Englert was stupid.

He had went 0 for 11 so Bochy thought he needed some time on the bench.

Abimelec Ortiz Hit his 32nd HR tonight.

 

[saddles]

Well, Eovaldi may nit make it to 2.1 innings like I thought he would.

It is almost always best to get rehab starts.

Not a good start

 

[saddles]

Not a good start

It would be hard to expect much with him not pitching in so long and then not getting a couple of rehab starts.

Bullseye

 

[DT LUNA]

Make the change now.

won’t get out of the 1st

 

[saddles]

He won't be a whole lot better next time either.

 

[Duane1952]

This what happens when someone comes off the IL with no rehab. Who thought this was a good idea.

 

[yardimatt]

It’s pretty incredible that they rolled Nathan out there tonight with no rehab starts prior.

I suspect Bochy lets the veterans do what they want in a situation like that.

If that’s the case, then no wonder they’re almost out of the playoffs.

 

[saddles]

By now, Bradford should be pitching in Heaney's spot, Dunning should still be in the rotation, Heaney should be in the pen, and Eovaldi should have been pitching for Round Rock tonight. This team's leadership makes some very questionable decisions.

 

[scotsman1948]

Did not expect him to come out for the 2nd

Did not expect him to come out for the 2nd

I think he is still going to throw close to 45 pitches no matter how he is throwing.

Edit: Or maybe not. Lol

 

[scotsman1948]

He shouldn’t have come out Altuva with his second homer
