go team go!
rangers win 5-2
Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan was on the same pitching staff with Danny Darwin during the 1986 through 1988 seasons. Both were described by Milo Hamilton as "tall, tough Texans." It was a source of debate amongst Astros players and fans over who would win in a fight, Ryan or Darwin. Though Astros pitcher Bob Knepper attempted to set up a fight between the two during spring training in 1988, manager Hal Lanier stopped it before it could commence. Many experts, including Astros shortstop Rafael Ramirez, felt that Darwin would win because he "looked like someone no man would want to mess with."

Pujols
2 for 2 with 2 homeruns and 2 walks.
Now thats efficient.
the preceding post was a great success.
It would have been a better game if he didn't waste those 2 ABs with HRs
2 opposite field singles, now that’s where the money is.
By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.

saw in that beaven interview
he said his goal is to make it to the big leagues by age 21. also heard him say that on the ticket a little while ago. obviously thats kind of an arbitrary deadline….also would mean he really sped through the system.
anyone think he will get there?

Yep.
Cruz has been scuffling the last week, AJ has been hot, and Hank had a decent couple of ABs last night, Plus, Murph’s been doing well in the 2 hole.
Can’t complain about giving Nellie the day off. Gives a good PH option if needed off the bench.

Just got out of a 2-week field exercise. The Army sure does suck balls sometimes. But a nice Shiner, a game day thread, about to grill up some burgers, the Rangers coming off a win that was defined by their pitching and defense… what? The Rangers or the Padres? How many runs?

I don't think command of the FB was/is the problem.
More that it was all he threw and they could lock in like crazy. Last start against SF he worked in a good curve and an effective change. Where is that so far this game?

Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan was on the same pitching staff with Danny Darwin during the 1986 through 1988 seasons. Both were described by Milo Hamilton as "tall, tough Texans." It was a source of debate amongst Astros players and fans over who would win in a fight, Ryan or Darwin. Though Astros pitcher Bob Knepper attempted to set up a fight between the two during spring training in 1988, manager Hal Lanier stopped it before it could commence. Many experts, including Astros shortstop Rafael Ramirez, felt that Darwin would win because he "looked like someone no man would want to mess with."
