  1. It’s my fault guys. I bet us this game. We never win when I do that. Just thought strider would stride.

  2. Strider lost his focus but it was obviously due to an ump who is blatantly calling a different zone for the home pitcher

  3. Ozzie and Olson’s defense has NOT helped this game. Can’t stop grounders or throws. It’s becoming a problem. Fucking fuck.

  4. that 2 on nobody out in the 2nd hurting extra rn. i wish they would stop squandering gifted innings because we can’t f around and find out with offense like the Rangers have.

  5. This team really does look for the first chance to fall apart at the seams

  6. Strider not having a great night locating + getting squeezed = fastballs down middle against a good ballclub

  7. So this whole “get an early lead and then slowly watch it evaporate”. Thing we’ve been doing this past few series is pretty annoying.

  8. We may end up winning. Who knows? But with two of our top three starters out, losing again with Strider on the mound is a problem. These are games we can’t afford to blow.

  9. Don’t worry about a thing guys, our offense is gonna come back out and go 1-2-3, can’t keep them down!

  10. I’m not sure baseball is for some of you, how do you stay this mad for 8 months

  11. His location has been off all year really. Amazing hee been as effective as he has.

  12. Strider has been battling all night since the first inning.

    And the offense has given him virtually no rest time.

  13. We just gotta get another crack at Evoldi, after that we can handle their bullpen

  14. Strider’s kryptonite is when batters work the count and foul off a lot of pitches, he doesn’t really have the stamina of Fried to stay deep into the game after long innings
