    Bregman hurtling towards the Mendoza line, but he had a good take for a ball on that one pitch.

    Rangers down 4-0, top 8th

    Seattle will take over division lead... Astros remain 5 back.

    I know the bats suck but we have the same amount of hits as them but when you look at walks it’s 7-1 that’s why these games get out of hand

    Only this group of assholes would let a reserve outfielder with a .700 OPS hit two homers…. Not sure what is more shitty, losing 5-0 after one inning or Bregman chocking in the 8th and then promptly having a AAA pitcher give up a jack in the 8th.

    Seeiously …. If their solution is to play Singleton and avoid looking at the standings, then they deserve to lose.

    The signs were there when this core group couldn't win one home game in a seven-game series for the second time. It's a shame, too, because last year's ALCS winner was always going to beat Arizona in the World Series.

    Unfortunately for us now we have to hear from Dana and Joe how those two hard hit balls by Abreu is a "sign" and that he's coming around.....eh no he's not, that ship has sailed. Dude can't catch up to FB's on the regular, its over.....those two line outs were 4 seam FBs but he guessed right...
