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.

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.

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?

but it seems like he sure does a lot better in 4 spot than he does down in the 6 or7, I dont understand why Byrd ever hits 4

Ah, it feels good to be back

  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? How fucking long was I gone?

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?
