Series Thread: Rangers Travel to Houston for Three Games with the Astros July 24-26

[jaar01]

Rangers are getting swept by the Astros. This game was our only shot to steal one. Horrible bullpen strikes again. Rinse and repeat.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Suddenly Chapman can’t throw strikes

That's always been his demise in a game. No problem with it until tonight.

See that's the problem. They aren't winning a bullpen game tomorrow or a Heaney start on Wednesday. THIS GAME TONIGHT WAS THE ONLY ONE WE HAD A CHANCE TO WIN. If you are going to nut up for ONE game against your biggest rival...it has to be tonight.

That was our last chance and nothing

Have to bring in Smith to try and hold it in the 9th against the middle of their order

I was wrong they bring in Speas

I might have pitched Burke again.

Bochy is not worth a shit at managing a pitching staff....

 

[Senator_fan]

Tuned in late. Wild game.

 

[gregrey972]

Welp.

 

[Bmurph]

Fucking idiot

 

[scotsman1948]

They gave the game and probably first in the division because this was the only game we had a chance in this series

 

[WilltheThrill]

This game is 100% squarely on Bochy. Pitching Speas in the 9th was indefensible.

 

[gregrey972]

Umps got the reply wrong

 

[fanman8825]

Again stupid walks lead to the teams demise. Bad loss after leading 3 different times.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Not sure what they are trying to do to Speas but they are putting him into high leverage situations like he has been pitching at the MLB level for a while.

 

[Senator_fan]

Another missed call. Oh well.

He looked lost out there.

 

[Bmurph]

7 walks is not gonna get it done, most nights. Worked for Houston tonight though

They are going to mess up his head, is what they are gonna do. He will regress the rest of the season if they keep doing that BS

Not sure why you keep saying that. You that afraid of JP France tomorrow? Dude is very beatable. All it would take is a strong outing from Bradford, White, or Otto (which they can do when they’re on) and it could easily be a win.
