Tallahassee Texas needs to devour some Twinkies

70 gallons of titties out there next to the man who missed the foul ball and I think his might be the biggest

Couldn't this be the same mentality of a pitcher that has his defense blow 3-4 plays behind you in one inning?

No. 3-4 errors don't have to cost you the game if you're a pitcher. Yeah, it's somewhat demoralizing. But 3-4 errors result in maybe 1-2 extra runs against you if you bear down.

But facing a 7-0 deficit as a hitter seems almost impossible to climb out of. Getting 1-2 extra outs as a pitcher is a lot easier than scoring 8 runs as a hitter.

Unbelieveable

Just a 400 ft out Elvis

To put this into perspective, I think we have lowered the guy who is starting for the Twins ERA by a half a run. Rarely does an ERA drop that much this late into the season. This truly is a horrible performance by the line up.

Damn sure can't argue that point.

Astros lost

 

[Bmurph]

Welp the Stros lost so @Nightcrawler you don't have to jump tonight

 

[Bmurph]

Ramos' ass puckered on that one

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Thanks for swinging at 3-0.

I am glad to see it myself.

So did Buz. He made it sound like Grand Prairie was waiting for the ball to come down.

Good thing he was a pitcher, that old coot cant judge a fly ball for jack

I think you're speaking too much in absolutes, there is a gray area here, you're being extra critical of Perez but giving the offense a pass essentially

7 run deficit? Exaggerate much?

Anyways, A 4 run deficit doesn't have to cost you a game either if you're a hitter, either way both have/are shit(ting) the bed

KC beat Mariners in a walk off. For some reason Martin did not even throw the ball in to try and get the winning run.

He's ugly too. lol

Id like to see more than 2 hits and Id love to see us get some SP

Like jta said, I think it's reasonable to expect any major league starter not to have an ERA around 10. I know he's not good, but if you sign up to play pro ball, you have to be better than that. I'd be fine with a 5-6 ERA. That would at least give the Rangers a small chance of winning.

And do you honestly think he wouldn't be getting loudly booed in NY, Boston, SF, Chicago, or any other big baseball market? I'm not asking for much, just even the slightest hint of being a professional ball player. 124 pitches to get through 4.2 innings?!?! That's an embarrassment. Even the Twins beat writers are laughing at him.

I don't boo players who are trying and are just not that good. I don't understand you thinking he should be booed either, but that is just my opinion. I never booed Kirkman and he stunk it up around here off and on for close to 10 years it seemed. And personally, I am glad the fans around here are not like the ones in some of the places you mentioned.

Keep thinking we can get back into this, but this offense has a tendency of just shutting down. Pretty pathetic effort today.
