Can you swing a bat after TJ surgery?

Yes, but you gotta swing it with your feet.
Or you can hold the bat with your mouth.

 

[Rev]

The Rangers are probably cooked, unfortunately.

There is no probably about it.

[Cotton]

Bastards.

 

[NoDak]

Bastards.

That grand slam that put you guys up 5-0 was pretty exiting, tho.

Right?

I can't talk to you right now.

Can anybody here pitch?

Asking for Rangers bullpen.

 

[bbgun]

Scherzer with forearm tightness? uh oh.

 

[Foobio]

This guy is hilarious

No shit.

 

[Texas Ace]

Damn....the Rangers bullpen is pure dog shit.

I knew they were bad but sheesh.

And, to be honest I thought it would be a strength heading into the season. It has been so bad.

It was a great back and forth game until that bullpen collapsed and the Astros blew it open.

 

[Texas Ace]

Altuve is having an unreal series.

Wow.

Wow.

Just hit his 4th home run in a row. 5th in his last 6 ABs.

 

[Texas Ace]

He's going to retire as the greatest player in Astros history.

That's just insane.

Just off the top of my head, and I'm certainly no Astros fan, but what about Nolan Ryan? Craig Biggio? I'm sure there must be others in the argument.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Yeah, but let's calm down. It was against Rangers pitching.

 

[Texas Ace]

Just off the top of my head, and I'm certainly no Astros fan, but what about Nolan Ryan? Craig Biggio? I'm sure there must be others in the argument.

He's a better player than Biggio for sure.

Nolan Ryan is a legend and I'd rank him higher as a baseball player than Altuve, but Altuve has been an Astro longer and contributed more as an Astro than Ryan did.

He's helped them reach 4 WS while winning 2 of them all while being the best player on the team for the majority of his career.

So yeah, I think he's the best player in franchise history even if he isn't the best player that's ever played for them.
