[Official] Astros @ Rangers

Yordan OPS+ of 202.

His numbers are off the charts…

We haven't been able to figure out Eovaldi since he was with the Red Sox. I think he took that blown ALCS game 4 against us personally.

 

astros rocked him the following season after the alcs game 4 meltdown

but you're right. ever since he joined the rangers, it's tough af to figure him out. rangers definitely fixed him

 

Forget Eovaldi for a minute and enjoy this.....

 

While these are great, just to give you a sense of what Judge has done... What Yordan has done the last 2 months is still slightly below the average of what Judge has averaged the last 4 years, which is kind of insane. Yordan, of course, has been much better in the postseason.

 

Sheesh… lets not even try to win, heyyy Joe?

 

Who would you like him to play instead?

 

Don’t understand sitting 1 of your 4 viable hitters (and really one of only 2 currently hitting well) in a game against a division opponent.

 

He hasn't had a day off in forever and the next 2 series are against much better teams. Division opponent doesn't matter much unless its the team that you're competing for the division with - and the Rangers aren't that. Going 0-8 the last two days gives him a nice opportunity to get a rest.

Teams aren't ever going to treat games in May as must-win games.

 

Meh. There’s an off day in 4 games.

 

It's a real problem that this lineup is so thin. The replacement level lineup filler shouldn't start with the cleanup hitter.

 

3-9 isn't exactly Murderer's Row

 

oof

let's see what paredes is made of at 1B

 

for the last game of the series, 7pm start is pretty late

brewers is already in htown since yesterday.

 

JALAPENA POPPER!

 

pretty good start

 

Winning already, just the way I like it.

 

can't be mad at the catcher for challenging that one

 

This is cool
