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

[Hambombs]

That was bullshit

 

[BLeslie59Rangers]

He seriously walked Carter...wow, just awful.

 

[Hambombs]

Who knew Astros would be such headaches???

 

[RevSader]

The Astros bad bullpen isn't going to bail us out if this goes south.

 

[RevSader]

Thanks for over hyping Rios' arm...

We gotta figure out their starters. This is not acceptable.

3-1 is manageable with bullpens coming into play.

 

[RevSader]

Needed a shut down and Derek got cute.

 

[Frisco123]

Is the offense going to get going tonight?

Hopefully

It's foolish to expect a complete shutdown for a team to win. Give the Astros and Peacock a little bit a credit. That said there is still plenty of baseball to be played and only down 2 runs.

 

[BLeslie59Rangers]

Another disaster averted....

Foolish to expect a shutdown inning? No it's not. When your team scores a run it's important not to give it right back.

What wash is pinch hitting for murphy.

I know the importance of a shut down inning but hey that's the way it goes sometimes. All in Holland has pitched pretty well tonight and has given a quality start. All I am saying is there is plenty of baseball to be played.

After watching Martin, kind of hard for anyone else to look very good. But I got your drift.

Quality start as in the 6 inning 3 run definition? Those mean nothing to me.

Absolutely

Well that's been labeled as a quality start. Where it means something to you or not that is start that is factored when looking at pitchers. Give Houston credit. They've played Texas well thus far.

3 Hits by the offense, thats the bigger issue to me
