You love to see it.  Win a couple at and advance.  Scherzer coming back for the next one.  I’ll be curious to see how rusty he is 

He lost last time vs. the Astros.

He may lose again but This Ain’t Last Time!Texas is on fire right now and may just sweep the defending champs??

You just contradicted yourself, but ok.

You’re right I did but the point is it could go either way imo,

[wo-s#1]

It’s baseball and the Texas momentum could change quickly..

True, it can always go either way. Bullets was talking about Scherzer being rusty and I simply reminded him of a loss when healthy. Astros have played better away than at home, so hopefully that holds true here.

so did Eovaldi.  Didn't matter last night.  and Verlander and Valdez both beat the rangers last time, but they're a combined 0-2 in the series.  My point being, you have no point.  It's also debatable that Scherzer was healthy at that point.  He made one more abbreviated start after that and then went on the DL.  He had some lingering issues already. The real issue is that Scherzer hasn't seen game action in over a month.  Everything else means nothing, although I can't blame astros fans who are grasping for anything right now.  For what it's worth, Scherzer went 4 innings and 68 pitches in a simulated game last week.  He threw well enough that the rangers are going to start him, and he's had another week to get healthy.  Hopefully he's dealing, and hopefully Javier is missing the strike zone as much as he did against Minnesota last week.  If he gives up 5 walks in 5 innings against the rangers he'll be punished for it, although just like Scherzer's last outing against the stros, it doesn't really mean much until we see how he's pitching tomorrow night.

I still have us in 6, but IF we're lucky enough to win tomorrow this series is over on Thursday.

Wow, wasn’t expecting to get grilled. Just trying to converse with the enemy. Good luck the rest of the way Bullets.

Totally agree with that. We can’t go down 3-0. But I will still pull for the four in a row. 

[TxHoops]

I’m always conflicted with these two. I grew up near the metroplex but I’ve now spent more than half of my life down here.  When they were in opposite leagues it was easy.  And I’ve always rooted for Houston as well.  But after the Rangers have taken on Creed as their hype song, I just can’t in good conscience support such a mediocre at best attempt to join that craze.  Go ‘Stros!

[Ty Cobb]

Scherzer will be on the mound for the RANGERS in game 3.  I just hope it’s the Scherzer from about 5 years ago. He was 1 of the best in the league then.

No grilling, just back and forth.  And same to you!

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

Lets go Rangers!

[rupert3]

Ok Astros need to score first

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

We're doing that thing again where we play like dogpoop at home after a great road trip. 

[rupert3]

Lol we did it all year

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

Lets get the bats warmed up. Go Rangers!

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

Jung putting the offense on his back tonight for the Rangers. 

[rupert3]

Yes sir

[rupert3]

6 more outs 

[rupert3]

3 more outs 

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

Hopefully tomorrow more bats than Jungs is working for us. Go Rangers!

[rupert3]

Back in it 8-5 win  I'll take it

[BEARCPA]

Good things happened the last time the Stros were down 2-1 in a series
