All over.

Is Scherzer still pitching?

Well, he's in the game....

 

[True Rangers Fan]

Really tried to tell you guys

Houston is just smoking hot right now and we as a team are ice cold

You're not talking to me.

Astros scored

Houston is just smoking hot right now and we as a team are ice cold

Smoking hot? They scored 7 runs in 3 games against the Yankees just a few days ago.

What we are all actually witnessing is one of the worst collapses in baseball history.

Astros have 14 home runs in last 17 innings against Texas. Do folks realize how bad that actually is?

Max Scherzer is a shell of his dominant self. Once again Rangers fleeced by another team because of desperation trades. Rinse and repeat.

So, you’re just going to ignore all of his other starts for the team in which he was downright dominant and focus solely on 1 disaster?

Max Scherzer is the least of this team’s problems.

He hasn't been dominant in all his other starts for us. And you know that. He's nowhere near who he once was. And you know that too. It was a trade of desperation.

And they’ve scored 30+ against us in 2.4 games on this home stand sounds smoking hot to me

LOL you can't deny that

6 starts 36.2 innings 19 hits, 2.21ERA but you’re right it wasn’t good enough

Stroming here. Any change?

You saying “you know that” doesn’t make it true. Here’s what’s true - actual stats.

36 innings with a 2.2 ERA. And stop putting words in my mouth. I NEVER said he was as good as he once was. I said he was still very, very good.

Also, I never said he was dominant in all of his starts. Reading comprehension is your friend. I said you were ignoring all of his other starts in which he was dominant. Those were my exact words.

You are clueless if you think that 36 innings with an ERA in the 2’s isn’t good enough to be a top 2 starter.

Nope

Coaching kids tonight. Tough tough tough.
Is Adolis hurt?

@WilltheThrill blow him off

 

[DT LUNA]

Kinda quite in here.

 

[Bmurph]

What an absolute fucking disaster of a season….I mean you couldn’t build up the hype any more and then pull the rug out from under it, any more than what has happened to these poor bastards. I don’t know what the hell happened and I know that there is a whole lot of blame that can be placed in different places but you can’t even write this freaking tragedy, if you hadn’t seen it play out.

 

[DT LUNA]

After tonight, how can anyone see this team in the post season? It's not what is wrong. It's what is right.
