Texas Rangers 2023 - They're Still Shitty?

[DougO 5248]

Jays tryna be the new Rangers.

[shadow_operative2.0 15983]

Leody still out, everyone’s favorite little Josh in. 

[gofuckyourself 8239]

Sweep the leg.

Rest of the AL West is off tonight. Chance to put a full game on the Mariners and drop it to .5 behind the Astros. And of course an even 36 on the As.

So let's not do that whole "win the first few but lose the last game of the series" thing.

[shadow_operative2.0 15983]

Corey, bitches. 

[Herbie Hancock 7348]

Corey is a human cheat code. Just silly

[Herbie Hancock 7348]

Bichette went full derp

[shadow_operative2.0 15983]

Goddamn flight attendant could serve Jack-&-Coke with that one. 

[Herbie Hancock 7348]

Nicely done Zeke

[Herbie Hancock 7348]

This goofy ass windup is bullshit.

[shadow_operative2.0 15983]

Sheesh Evan, you won’t see many more hittable pitches than that one in the Show. 

[Herbie Hancock 7348]

Hahaha fuck you Gascan!

[gofuckyourself 8239]

Amazes me the outside pitches to Kirk. You'd think the gravitational pull would bring them all in.

[gofuckyourself 8239]

Hell yeah. Sit down Bitchette

[Herbie Hancock 7348]

Heimdinger!

[Wally Pryor 5261]

 Nice, Heim.

Ump is giving Gausman some BS low strikes

And then misses an actual strike.

He generally sucks.

So let's not do that whole "win the first few but lose the last game of the series" thing.

Not to get ahead of ourselves from tonight and assume the W, but;

Texas plays CLE who is all but done-- we need to win the series at a minimum but ideally sweep.

Seattle plays a very good and hot LAD team-- they need to lose the series at a minimum but ideally be swept.

Houston plays the worst team in the majors, I expect them to sweep, against KC.

The goal is to win enough (in combination with SEA losing enough) that the last 7 of 10 against them aren't existential.

I see a WC as the likely scenario. We'd need to remain white hot and have the Astros continue to struggle and in that case us beating the crap out of Seattle in 2 of the next 4 series actually helps the Astros if they are middling.

Did the Blue Jays put together a nepo baby team on purpose? Biggio, Bichette and Guerrero. Was Larry Walker or Adres Gallaragas kids not available as well?

Don’t even think about running on Jesse Barfield III…

[animaltobacco11 107]

Mr. Josh (.192 actually up from .185 to start this series). You get some RBI's here and I'll not hate you outloud anymore.

edit: Of course he hits into an inning ending dp with two men on.

I dare someone on this thread who knows baseball and the Texas Rangers to try and even attempt a defense for why Josh Smith is in the major leagues. Not even a defense of why he's in our starting line up as much as he is (as that is not fair and defensible) but how is he not getting at-bats in Round Rock this year? 

He. Sucks.

[gofuckyourself 8239]

This ump is hot garbage.

[animaltobacco11 107]

Huge K!

[Jameslaw121 4448]

This ump is hot garbage.

Yup. I'm ready for the robo umps. I've seen too many games with horribly inconsistent zones

[AbeFroman 2177]

Jose!

[Ignatius 4017]

Nice punchout! Let’s get some insurance here…

[Wally Pryor 5261]

Sit down!

[gofuckyourself 8239]

Nice. Let's get two or three or 12 more here.

[gofuckyourself 8239]

Carter's plate discipline is really damn impressive.

[gofuckyourself 8239]

Seager has to have the most IBBs for a #2 hitter.

[shadow_operative2.0 15983]

That a kid, Nate.

There's 3 runs. Fuck it let's get all 12.

[Wally Pryor 5261]

Hell yeah.

[Ignatius 4017]

Fuck this this team, their fans, and this stadium…

[gofuckyourself 8239]

Hahaha!

[beer 3220]

I'd love to be able to see this mess. I drove into Arkansas and my video quit due to blackout restrictions. I can't drive and VPN without getting dead. 

[DougO 5248]

Baseball is some weird shit, but I guess that's the way it go.

[shadow_operative2.0 15983]

, bitches. 

 

Enjoyed it, Canada. 

[animaltobacco11 107]

[gofuckyourself 8239]

That's how you get right back in the thick of it. Good shit.

I was literally waiting the second the last out was called and you still somehow beat me to it! #respek

These fuckos put up a mural with the Bautista bat flip. A mural dedicated to a postseason that they got eliminated from. That's the aggyist shit ever. 

[Wally Pryor 5261]

They can put Bautista's image on a coin, name a street in his honor or dedicate a fucking hospital to him but there's only one thing that really stands out when you mention that asshole's name, and it always will.  

 

[beer 3220]

Odor to the face was beautiful to watch. I wish we could have seen it real time...camera panned away so had to see the replay.....in extreme slomo, over, and over, and over

There’s a mural of that, too. 

[TxTower 652]

Is this the streakiest Rangers team evar?

[Herbie Hancock 7348]

Didn't they say Adolis rejoins the team Cleveland on Saturday?
