Is Javier hurt?
Nobody knows. Could have been planned, could have been worried about his control, could be hurt, could be more inexplicable Espada things.
I didn’t think about Espada simply giving Javier the rest of the night off since we are in the midst of fighting for our playoff lives. Makes sense.
Buddy Bell had a lot more hits than I would have guessed.
I get tired of Todd Kalas pumping eternal sunshine up out collective butt.
That’s a very iffy ring up of Altuve’s check swing.
RANGERS LOSE
Rangers go down 6-3.
You hate to see it.
Altuve looked like a pool noodle in the fucking wind on that AB.
Javier with right groin tightness.
At some point you do have to accept that these guys are employed by the club.
That said, spotlighting the starts over the weekend by Brown and Wisnewski is some real “and then what happened?” shit
Good work by Ullola working through multiple 3-0 counts for a scoreless 4th.
Sousa has the 5th. Gird your loins.
Sousa escapes with just a walk and a bloop single.
End 5, 4-0 Astros.
EEE-SOCK!
That’s a 5-0 lead!
Paredes is a player I do like. I would take him one for one over that mothertucker any day. Addition by subtraction and addition.
Score about five more and who knows the Astros may have a chance in this one.
Sousa blowing away a left handed batter with a fastball at the eyes is not something I ever thought I’d see but here we are.
We are through six, Astros leave 5-0, and only Javier and Matthews have left with injuries.
Oh, and Varsho didn’t even come in when Matthews left, he’s hurt too.
