Texas Rangers vs. Houston Astros 8/9-8/12

[elziegreat42]

Any pitcher is prone to a bad outing against any team.

i agree, but its still bad regardless

Baker has looked really bad twice tonight.

He doesn't seem like much of an upgrade over Moreland against a left hander.

 

[Hambombs]

Typical crappy outing against a trash pitcher. Beltre is a 1st pitch out very frustrating.

2.79 ERA at home

What's more frustrating is he smacked it.

He has been, he just isn't tonight.

3 of the 5 hits are to the All-Stars Castro and Altuve, if that makes anyone feel any better

Glad you posted this info, I was not thinking about that. Not feeling much better about it but it explains some.

Baker really hasn't been the same since he returned from DL.

 

[pegasusredleg]

2.79 ERA at home

He is also up to 90 or so pitches.

He hasn't hardly played since then either.

[BLeslie59Rangers]

i know, this is a frustrating game tonight

Down by two seems to kill little baseball.

 

[jta4437]

I wouldn't be mad if Castro wore a Rangers uniform

When you only get 8ABs in 2 weeks ... no matter who you are you will struggle ...

.125 .125 .250 .375

 

[pegasusredleg]

That was a wicked strike three pitch.

Well what we're doing now isn't working so go for it.

Other than Gentry's suicide squeeze ... I haven't seen much small ball being played. Lot of big swings.

Seeing Butler hitting second this inning does not instill me with much confidence about scoring a bunch of runs
