Nice win!!

Barring any injuries I think the old dude will play a significant "role" batting in the bottom half of our line up...something we haven't had.

Stros are 10-5 and the Rangers are 5-10. I like this start!

That's a ****in bullpen, gentlemen...
Great win

no joke.

Its a great feeling being up a couple runs going into the later innings and knowing your bullpen isn't going to crap the bed.

Except Gregerson.

Yes I love it!

Except Gregerson.

What's wrong with Gregerson? He had one bad outing. I think this is a contract year for him so I expect him to be lights out. He wants to be a closer again.

Please don't quote the first rounder.

Wasn't impressed last year and I was at the game where he imploded and blew Keuchel's gem. Still has some sting to it.

He threw in 59 games last year and had a 3.28 era. I will take that every year. His career era is 2.90. Some background info, he has missed some time both of the last two seasons because of family matters that have never been disclosed that I know of. Each time that happened he pitched poorly which lead to an elevated era. They are all human and Im sure his family situation played into having those few bad games. I really like him on this team. He is a veteran that doesnt mind getting those pressure outs at the end of a game.

Hoyt called up.
Gustave on DL.
