Good job Yu keeping them scoreless.

I hope Profar's play - lack of play - doesn't doom this inning.

Not saying it wasn't a tough play, but I swear I think EA makes that play in 2016.

And whew.......3 outs........now lets SCORE.

 

[Duane1952]

More runs offense.

 

[DT LUNA]

If you like good pitching ya got it.

WTF are you swinging at 3-1 and swinging at ball 4. Just dumb

Very, very dumb. At the beginning of the season I was impressed with how smart our team's approach at the plate was, and I praised Iapoce for it. But that intelligence has really gone by the wayside over the last month. We really do have some of the most mind-numbingly stupid at-bats you'll see anywhere in all of baseball. We manage to work the count into our favor, and then we just let the pitcher off the hook for no reason.

I love it that it seems 40%+ of the crowd are Ranger fans. Loud ones too.

Astro fans show up in Arlington. But they aren't as plentiful nor as loud.

I'm not impressed at all by Musgrove. He does relentlessly pound the strike zone, so I'll give him that. But his fastball sits in the low 90's with very little movement, and none of his breaking stuff is particularly impressive. Our hitters are just taking awful approaches for the most part. Musgrove has had 2 very good appearances to start his career, so tip of the cap to him. But I give him 1-2 more starts at most before MLB hitters adjust to him and start teeing off.

Deshields can go back to RR

 

[darrylgann]

Come on Darvish. Go one more inning.

 

[Duane1952]

I've seen enough of DDJ. He's lucky that didn't cost us.

Just gave away an out swinging at a pitch he couldn't do anything with

 

[Duane1952]

Does Banny let Yu come back in the 8th.

 

[DT LUNA]

Couple a runs boys

 

[PhantomWarrior]

PH Beltran for DDJ.

Does Banny let Yu come back in the 8th.

Don't think so. At about 90.

 

[donaldson79]

Through 7 innings Musgrove/Darvish have 14 Ks, NO WALKS, and 1 run.

 

[donaldson79]

Don't think so. At about 90.

93 to be exact.

I wouldn't think he'd come back out, but then again, he hasn't had a real stressful inning. But I'd bet no.

 

[Duane1952]

Send him.
