Recreation 95 Thread. July 12, 2025, 6:35 CT. Rangers @ Astros

Just a few ideas on yesterday’s sport:

1. It was an excessive amount of to count on the Astros to proceed with their scorching streak with a present roster that appears extra like 2013 than 2017. Let’s hope the injured cavalry arrive quickly as a result of a six sport lead with about 70 video games left is way from insurmountable.
2. When/if Arrighetti/Garcia/Javier arrive, will the Astros proceed to throw Lance McCullers on the market simply because he occurs to be the best paid starter on the employees? Proper now,d I’d name him the sixth starter based mostly on efficiency. I really feel extra assured with Ryan Gusto, Brandon Walter, or Colton Gordon on the mound, a lot much less these stars of AStros previous.
3. It’s only one sport, however Brice Mathews, in his debut, fulfilled the worst fears about him. He struck out in three of his 4 at bats, swinging and lacking at an inordinate variety of hittable pitches within the strike zone.

Listed below are tonight’s lineups.
