  1. About Altuve hitting 3 Homers this game, and looking to make history.... "Oh, did they take him out of the game already?" lol even the Rangers announcers aren't really paying attention.
  2. Someone needs to call the actual Texas Rangers because there is a violent assault happening at Globe Life Field and nobody is doing anything to stop it!
  3. Hard to believe that we are on the Astros 30th at bat of the game and they only have 2 strikeouts, both of which were Maldy lol...
  4. I wish the Rangers had more fans so we could enjoy the implosions.
  5. Lol, our backup catcher just went yard!
  6. Rangers pitchers bailing guys out with walks lol. Nice to be on the other side of it
  7. Brantley should be practicing playing first base every chance he gets. Dude would fix so many things if he could scoop some throws from Pena.
  8. This. Looking at Singletons splits, there isn't anything that is .275 average against righties. I don't know how anyone can get to that number on him vs Holmes. Chas beats him on OPS vs righties and at home. Just a weird choice to sub him for Chas, seems personal against Chas.
  9. Chas has had 1 at-bat against Holmes this year, and got a hit. Any analytics about how he would perform in that spot must be based how he performed against similar pitchers.
  10. Link? If this includes triple A games I could see why the numbers are in his favor. If not, how could he have enough at bats for it to be relevant?
  11. If I'm Chas, I pack my shit, leave the team and publicly request a trade for next season. That is so fucking disrespectful.
  12. Russia = "anatomy lab cadaver" lol...
  13. He went from having the best year in his career with the Rockies to having his worst with the Angels. Do you really want to add a salvage operation to the team with 35 games left? I don't think he's worth it, there's something wrong with him mentally or maybe he has a bad attitude since the trade. Either way, that is a phenomenal drop off over the course of a month, and the Astros don't really need him. If he were a gold glove first baseman I would say it's worth a shot, but we really don't need another outfielder.
  14. He was hitting .168 for the Angels since the trade, which is worse than Maldonado, so no thanks. There's a good reason he cleared waivers.
  15. I thought it was odd that he wasn't claimed because I thought he was a good bat, but then I looked up his recent stats and Grichuk only hit .168 in 101 ABs for the Angels. He was hitting .308 for the Rockies before the trade. What an incredible collapse by this dude, and kudos to the Rockies for offloading his salary and gaining a prospect in the process.
  16. Cleveland kept the Twins from getting those guys, because there's an outside chance they can catch them in the division. You only have to pay about 20% of their salary for the rest of the season, so it's not too expensive. Plus they probably saved more than all of that by trading Bell to the Marlins at the deadline. Not a bad play, but it is dumb that a team can claim more than 1 guy at a time, I thought it would be more like a supplemental draft pick situation.
  17. What's the reasoning for putting Yordan at #2 in the lineup? Wouldn't you want a faster guy like Bregman ahead of him to get on base so Yordan can knock him home on a hit?
  18. Houston Astros' Baker on Aroldis Chapman: 'I Wanted Him' https://www.si.com/mlb/astros/news/houston-astros-dusty-baker-aroldis-chapman-wanted-him-matt9
