10 run win?
I don’t think so, Arlington.
Like the Aggies, we didn’t really lose, we just ran out of innings during our comeback!
We scored first,. we scored last, and someone tell JR Ewing we still won that series.
Thats baseball. These kinds of games are inevitable.
Positives:
Altuve and Yordan came back from injury.
Montero had another good outing. Only 2 runs and 8 baserunners in 9.2 July innings.
Stanek had another good outing - only 1 walk in his last 5 and not more than 1 baserunner in any of them. Outside of 1 bad outing, only 3 runs and 8 baserunners in 10 innings this month.
Pressly, Neris, Abreu, and Maton all got the day off and will have at least 2 days of rest going into the TB series.
Bregman continues to put his poor 1st half behind him and is starting to hit lefties too.
Diaz continues to blossom before our eyes.
Pena got 2 hits !!
There are still 4+ days till the trade deadline and 59 games left in the season.
So, last night was kick in the nads. The fact that it was against the Rangers smarts, but it doesn’t change anything about the season - big picture.
Brown simply has to bring in some pitching, but I still have faith he will and the team will be a force rolling into October .
