So just because I don't know how to mod and it's a question for me - do Rangers fans not come in this thread and visa versa? Then a 3rd thread for cross/shit talk post game/between games?

I just want to make sure I mod reports right when I get them and/or move shit the right way.

No.  we don't go in their thread and they don't come over here.

Usually it's fuckstick noobs or trolls who do that shit.

Good pitching and that's it.

One silver lining is that I now remember how much I hate John Smoltz. 

God damn it. Hate being down 0-1

It was a shitty game at the plate. The pitching was fine.

That was a pretty embarrassing display. A bunch of guys crapped their britches tonight.

Fair

Ditto. I muted the fuck sticks on FS1 last series and will remember to do the same tomorrow

How in God's name can anyone ever forget that?

Zero clutch

Zero patience at the plate tonight 

Wrong shade of green on the batters eyes

Hard-hit outs all night.  Three two-out singles, one with a runner in scoring position, and we didn't score from any of that.  Breggy just missed a two-run bomb.  Not our night.

Lotsa homerun swings.   It gets fucking old.

 

It's bullshit to waste a game in which the Rangers scored 2 runs.  Our pen was lights out with Neris and Abreu.  Nobody can fucking hit for Houston at MMP.

All of the big guns disappeared.  It's stupid.

Isn't the Astros specific issue hitting at MMP against lefties?

Don’t mod it.  It’s an unofficial etiquette that season threads are for the team’s fans.  But it’s an informal thing that most people respect, which is cool.  Stops being cool if you mod it.  

Brantley should always be in left field or he should DH and have Yordan there, and Diaz should always be behind the plate, but Dusty gonna Dusty. Why have two good bats sitting for most, if not all, of the game is just dumb.

Astros were 2nd in the league vs LHP.  I can't find the split just at MMP.

Hi.

They had one more baserunner than we did. 

Both teams were 1 for 3 with RISP. Would have been dumb to have sent Chas on Peña’s single ahead of Maldy but just a  crippling strikeout in the 4th in hindsight.

But I’m sure we’ll hear about how he was 3 for 4 with 3 XBP off of Montgomery coming in to this game.  Well, now he’s 3 for 5.

Yordan ended 4 of the 9 innings 

fuck me 

Yep.  Hard to bitch about Maldy when Yordan has a night like that.   Looking at you, too, Tuck.  
 

Tonight was far from ideal, but it ain’t the end of the world.   Remember how shitty it felt after G3 against the Red Sox in ‘21?  Or after G3 against the Phillies last year?   This team can turn the tables quickly.

Need to win tomorrow to claim road field advantage.

Win tomorrow and we just need 2 of 3 at Arlington. Lose tomorrow and we’ll need 3 wins in Arlington. We are not winning games 6 and 7 at MMP. 

Fuking embarrassing. You can't scratch together 2 runs against your rival??? Poor JV.  Not even your speeches can help us at the plate.  
 

Glad my tickets were free to watch them continue to execute operation 'home field non-advantage'.  

Not embarrassing, but frustrating. 

The game is the game, I will not bang some maze tonight.

Agreed - yet we still hit the ball hard several innings and had two outs that missed being HRs by a matter of a few feet. These guys will be fine. Although I’d be lying if I said Eovaldi doesn’t scare me. Gotta make him uncomfortable early tomorrow. Top of the lineup needs to wake up (aforementioned Bregman near miss notwithstanding).

What was embarrassing was letting the worst hitter in the postseason come to bat with the bases loaded and 2 outs. The game pretty much ended there...

Edited by Pimphand

Agreed, told my son we should've hit Diaz there. JV can throw to him for 1 inning and 3 outs. That, on top of the yordan whiffs were the game killer. Everything after that was just whatever. 

Also I know we like to attack but would like to see us grind out some ABs tomorrow. Make the P throw 6-9 pitches a batter, or draw it out as long as possible. Seems like we had too many innings were we'd have 2 pitches and already 5 outs. Slow the game down. Grind out the ABs.

Tuck & Chaz on back to back at bats swinging at the first bullshit pitch suuuuucked

I don’t doubt Altuve missed the bag on the DP because his base running blunders speak for themselves.  But why did they only show the camera shot from home plate?  Every close play on a steal of second has views from all around the base zoomed in where you can see every speck of dirt.  Yet this one only one view from a different area code.

Michael Brantley says hi.
