Just terrible execution of whatever the plan was, which had to be THROW SOMETHING A FOOT OFF THE PLATE

It's 3-0 you can walk a guy at that point... especially when he's already destroying your team in this game

I'm not arguing that. That would be the preferred thing to do at 3-0 to that hitter. But if you are gonna throw the pitch, it can't come anywhere near the plate.

That's common sense... these players can't execute when needed

Please ask why we didn’t walk the slowest base runner in history for 3 straight games.

In a 3-0 count to a guy like Yordan I don’t see why we don’t just take our loss and walk him

Ask him postgame what happened there and ask Skip why we don’t walk Alvarez. Don’t answer for him on here, see what BS answer he gives

Houston is a 70-75 win team. Yet they will likely win 8-10 of those against Texas.

Meh, this team isn't trying to win. Starts with the top of the organization and then that loser atmosphere they built trickles on down into the players. CY, Ray Davis, Skip, it all needs to be blown up.

Maybe just walk him at that point 🤷🏼‍♂️

This team can not execute the basics. A bunt back to the pitcher, don’t throw Yodon a strike, every pop up around the infield is an adventure. This all lays at the feet of the manager. This team is not ready to play on a nightly basis.

Skip seems like a great hire.

@BenOndaTop I love hearing the rangers announcer be sad against the Astros🤣

DFA. What would Jimmy do?!?! He would make examples.

Skip is a dumb*** for pitching to him...

I dunno, looked like a perfect pitch to me

Embarrassing!! Such bad coaching and execution!

Expect to read a good thrashing in AM SportsDay. Skip should not have put Alexander in that position in a tie game. Walk him then we win 3-2

Should have walked him intentionally, especially after getting to 3-0 count. Schumacher is an idiot!

You dipsh!t! You groove a 3-0 junk pitch to Willie McCovey Jr.??? Not a MLB pitch! #CheapBullpen

@BenOndaTop It was not a bad pitch. 9/10 swing and miss. Yordan is that 1/10.

Skip Schumacker is not a real manager.

Or just put him on and live to fight another day.

Disagree. He painted a 3-0 curve. Yordan never chasing anything a foot off the plate 3-0, so either IBB him or live with getting beat by this next level approach and swing on a great pitch.

Why did Skip pitch to Alvarez in a close, late innings game? 50-50 chance he makes an out, but… why take the chance? (Rhetorical)

Stick a fork in this team. Season over.

I don’t wanna hear skip say that’s on me for not walking him. 3-0! Inexcusable

3-0. 80 sweeper down the middle. What could go wrong…???

At what point do they stop pitching to him…there is a base literally open

Throw it over the top of the net, really really high!!!!!

He’s pretty good though

I am out, gonna give them a month and ill check back in. was hoping this spread of games would turn things around.

There have been few, very few pitchers I'd rather have on the mound than Tyler. He's had a terrific year to date...had a bad day yesterday. He'd be the first to tell you the pitch wasn't where he wanted it.

He needs to be cut! Back to back 3-0 counts, gives up a HR and can’t make a throw to first base to throw out the runner.
