Texas should just concede, LL style.

I've always wondered what's stopped a team from doing that to save arms, etc. Just say "hey, we forfeit"

That's why you should have PR for Yoan.

Yet, if he has a couple bad games in a row you're all over him. Hmmm....

Shitty defense and baserunning and shitty throws and feeds from an up the middle player are inexcusable.

TA had a lot of people after him too but the difference was that people could see TA's tools whereas Nick doesn't have those kinds of tools at all.

What happened?

But they aren’t worried about his health here, just his command and stretching him out. If they can get further down that road with low risk of a loss, awesome

No reason to pile unnecessary innings in a blowout.  He got good work in today. 

lol Yermin.

He was barely running and i thought he was hurt, guess he's alright.

Remember that one time when Greg Maddux needed only 76 pitches to throw a complete game against the Cubs?  Well the Rangers have 106 pitches after only 3 innings. Ouch.

Is it just me or is Yermin crouching even lower in his 2 strike stance?

2 K's out of the zone that inning.  Woof.

This umpire is blind

That's called position players pitching nowadays

In other things we enjoy, the Pirates are up 2-1 over the Twins in the fifth.

Pretty obvious they’re trying to stretch him out and insert him in the rotation

There's a lot of things, even from players well above Nick's caliber, that are "inexcusable" that still happen. That's life. Get over it.

Both K’s this inning were balls outside

He looks like Ricky Henderson at this point.

For who is the question? It's looking like Cease rn

Yes I know that.  I'm also sure he has a pitch limit this game.  What do you think that is? Serious question.

He’s swung and missed twice and currently has the 3rd best OPS on the team

aced him, wtf do I know, he looks amazing.

They will, they are not good. Neither their offense nor their pitching
