DLLS Texas Rangers Podcast: No answers for Yordan Alvarez, but one big question

The Texas Rangers lost 4-3 on Wednesday to the Houston Astros, and the question many had afterward was: Why on earth did manager Skip Schumaker elect to not intentionally walk Yordan Alvarez?

It was his second straight two-homer game and his fifth of the series. Schumaker addressed the homer off of Tyler Alexander, but it didn’t satisfy a fan base that has become angry at just about all aspects of the Rangers … including their beat writers. At least deGrom was better, but he’s never satisfied. President of baseball operations Chris Young is trying to remain positive about the team’s immediate future.
