Isn't Yu Darvish at least dominating and winning his starts? He's among the ERA leaders.

Big Nelly was already doing his home run trot. LOL

7/2/14: Leonys Martin makes an incredible leaping catch at the wall in left-center, robbing a home run from Nelson Cruz

Phil Irwin versus Brad Peacock tonight. I don't know much about that Irwin guy but the Rangers should win tonight.

Houston Astros
1. Jose Altuve (R) 2B
2. Robbie Grossman (S) RF
3. George Springer (R) CF
4. Jon Singleton (L) 1B
5. Matt Dominguez (R) 3B
6. Chris Carter (R) DH
7. Carlos Corporan (S) C
8. Enrique Hernandez (R) LF
9. Marwin Gonzalez (S) SS

Texas Rangers
1. Shin-Soo Choo (L) DH
2. Elvis Andrus (R) SS
3. Alex Rios (R) RF
4. Adrian Beltre (R) 3B
5. Leonys Martin (L) CF
6. Chris Gimenez (R) C
7. Carlos Pena (L) 1B
8. Jake Smolinski (R) LF
9. Rougned Odor (L) 2B

One through four the Rangers look stacked. Carlos Pena? I thought he retired. He was so bad last year.

It is weird that Rios has been good this year

The Rangers may get swept by the Astros. They were supposed to be a contender this year.

Jose Altuve has another hit and stolen base. Hitting .340 (125 hits to lead baseball) with 40 stolen bases (3 caught stealing only).

Another hit. Altuve is 2-for-2 tonight already. I want him to reach .350 before the all-star break.

Shin-Soo Choo is so slow. Wow. Grounded into a double play on a four hopper deep at short. No hustle or effort down the line.

Rangers should try and trade Choo. The guy makes way too much money to be hitting .252 with only 9 home runs. It's like Prince Fielder's laziness rubbed off on him and Big Daddy isn't even playing anymore.

I can see why the Rangers are so bad. The injuries aside, some of their guys don't even show any effort. It's like a spring training game to them. Adrian Beltre is literally carrying their offense on his back right now.

Brad Peacock isn't even any good. The Rangers should be scoring five or six runs off him.

12-game hitting streak for Adrian Beltre. Triple that Springer almost robbed with an amazing effort crashing into the wall. The ball just bounced off the tip of his glove. He had to track it down from far away. Adrian Beltre is chasing Jose Altuve for the best batting average in the league. Imagine if Altuve and Beltre played on the same team? That would be fun to watch.

We're closing in on that #1 draft pick for 2015. Might as well with most of our key players injured!

We're going to be tied in a couple of days. Astros, Rangers and Diamondbacks are the three worst record teams this year.
