Rangers at Astros, 9/17/25

Let’s hope he doesn’t skip straight to the Randy Quaid wearing a mask video.

The Astros brutish approach at the plate the last four outs has probably saved the rangers at least two innings from their bullpen

T3:

Smith lines to LF, Sanchez staggers like a drunken sailor but fields it cleanly for out 1
Langford takes a borderline 2-2, grounds the 3-2 to Pena for out 2
Pederson laces one to center for a single
0-2 pitch misses badly, bounces up off HPU’s arm for a WP
Tellez fooled completely, barely bounces to Altuve to end the inning

Mid 3, tied at 2

Altuve!

B3:

Correa works a 3-1 count and lines one to RCF for a leadoff single.
Altuve actually takes a few pitches, 2-1 HAMMERED TO THE CRAWFORD BOXES! 4-2 ASTROS!
Walker strikes out swinging at 1-2. I think deGrom might just have his number.
Caratini strikes out on 3-2
Diaz pops to shallow RCF, Garcia with a diving catch.

But the Astros get their 2 run lead back.

José!!

Altuve!

I hope I get the chance to!

Yo! Where did he come from?! Hate that dude, but nice catch.

In this instance? Offscreen.
Originally? The unholy union of a sheep and a Muscle Beach roidhead.

Through 5, Mariners trail KC 3-2.

One of those players that always seems to do something noteworthy against the Astros

I thought we were about to have a three for one IL visit on that play

T4:

Known son of a ewe Garcia pops to shallow RF line, Altuve with a basket catch
(I missed who) pops down the LF line, Pena avoids the collision with Correa and snags it
Jung strikes out on a slider for a 1-2-3 inning.

Mid 4, 4-2 Astros

B4:

Sanchez pops out weakly
Jake takes a 1-1 well off the plate for a strike, checks on 1-2, lines to RF, Garcia does a Jim Edmonds job to turn it into a sliding catch
DeGrom absolutely carves up Cole on 3 pitches

End 4, 4-2 Astros

T5:

Heim pops the second pitch to Walker
Freeman goes 2-2, Javier blows one by him
Smith sends one to deep CF but Jake tracks it down easily.

Mid 5 and still a 4-2 lead

I know it’s not gonna happen, but I wish TK would stop talking about the silver boot.
