*** Official Texas Rangers vs Houston Astros Series Thread ***

.500 ball? They are 21-17 with a +45 run differential. They are 2nd in the AL in RS and 2nd lowest RA in AL. They forced 7 game WS series in 2019 and Forced TB to play all 7 games after falling down 3-0. They aren’t backsliding (except in CF).

Cutting advertisements would be a good start.
This is my deal…do the soccer deal and cut ads. Two minutes between innings. The announcers can do ads during the game like Pee Wee Reese used to do. That saves 30 minutes right there, and much bettter than a bunch of nonsensical rule changes to the game that bastardize the game and don’t work anyway.

Problem is: They don't just love the extra time between innings for the massive ad dollars. More people go to the concession stands and take out a second mortgage for a beer or a bite to eat when you waste a lot of time between innings.

So you are saying they don’t really want to shorten the games, which is fine with me. So stop with all the stupid crap as if they do.

Oh, I think they do want to shorten the games, just not any of the (money fueled) reasons that the games have become so long, namely time between innings. The time spent actually watching the game doesn't open wallets once the tickets are bought, so that's the time they tinker with. I hate it.
 
Looks like an off day for Dusty too. Maybe we could give Straw another day off and possibly Maldonado too if we're giving Altuve the day off? Just a thought. Pretty hard to see where much offense is going to come from tonight with Garcia, a less that healthy Gurriel, an impuissant Myles Straw, and Martin Maldonado. That's a lot of inefficaciousness in our lineup tonight.
Straw says “I gotcha impuissant hanging pal”
