Rangers @ Astros, September 2, 2020

don’t be so dramatic.

It was headed more toward the camera well.

Marvin Hudson has the runs

Choo takes a ball, fails to check, takes a well framed ball inside for a strike, Ks swinging on a curve

Nice play by Machete to end the ballgame

whew

Solak takes a strike, fouls, doesn’t chase away, again doesn’t chase, Machete to the mound, taps foul, fouls a FB on the corner, Ks swinging on a ball that kicks away, Machete scrambles and completes the play 2-3 with 100 foot throw.

Astros win 2-1

An uninspiring win, but a win nonetheless. Nice work by Javier, at least.

Javier and Allard both peppered the zone.

Javier has a nifty slider.

Yes. Needed after last night. Javier the story

Allard has a good changeup.

Rangers only threw 92 pitches total. When’s the last time to saw fewer than 100 in a 9-inning game?

And the Fernando Rodney experiment is over.

I’m feeling old.

Hell, I’m 3 years older than Fernando Rodney.

Can you get that anywhere at WB? I remember they promoted that ten or so years ago and then it went away. I figure not enough sales to justify it on the permanent menu. I went out of my way to go to WB when that was offered. Damn pussies.

I highly endorse the “Poodie Burger” anytime anyone’s driving up 71, whenever we can go there again.

I thought they still had the GCC at some locations, primarily west of San Antonio. But I don’t know for sure, as I don’t get the good fortune of hanging out in Midland much anymore.

The thing I’ve always liked about Midland is you’re only a quick three, four hour drive from West Texas.

The only thing I like about Midland is that I’ve never lived there.

That’s the right answer.
