Texas Rangers 2023 - They're Still Shitty?

[gofuckyourself 8205]

Gal-lol

[mdmost 42999]

Well that was a nice play. Why would the ghost runner move at an obvious foul? Oh wait, Gallo. I get it now.

I'm pissed Rangers games are almost always blacked out in my area, I'm also happy about that.

The one reason I’m really glad to be back in Austin. I get both Ranger and Astros. We are fans of both and have been forever. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15948]

Hey, finally moved zombie. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15948]

Thanks for pitching to him. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15948]

Ha, Nate's shit-tastic AB makes that even dumber. 

[ztejas 43411]

Hopefully Zeke was paying attention there. 

[beer 3220]

Fuckinump

[shadow_operative2.0 15948]

Fucking shoot me. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15948]

Well, they gifted us an out there. 

[Herbie Hancock 7344]

Goddamn I miss big Josh

[ztejas 43411]

So we make it through 2 innings then get completely hosed on an obvious strike.

Cool.

[beer 3220]

Shit fuck piss tits balls

[ztejas 43411]

Correa's been our best player today. 

[mdmost 42999]

Wow. Double play saved our asses. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15948]

Fucking bunt now. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15948]

I'm burning my Jank fan club presidency if he fucks this AB up too. 

Of course. 

[TexasGary 833]

It's crazy that professional baseball players do not know how to bunt.

[Pato del Muerto 52485]

If he comes up again in the 16th with 2 on and no outs he had better be bunting!!!

[ztejas 43411]

Adolis just needs 2 on in extras one more time. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15948]

2/17 w/RISP. Yep, that'll get you beat. 

[beer 3220]

We used another coupon there

[Ignatius 4017]

What’s the record for extra innings since they introduced the runner at 2nd at the beginning of every inning?

Both teams. Who wants to lose less?

[shadow_operative2.0 15948]

Believe it's 16, but that's without google. 

[Pato del Muerto 52485]

At least make them put the ball in play once to win

[shadow_operative2.0 15948]

Really fucking stupid sport. 

[Pato del Muerto 52485]

Holy shit. New low. 

[ztejas 43411]

What a joke.

Not gonna hold it against Hernandez, though. Should have never got to that. 

[Pato del Muerto 52485]

Maybe someone teach him some fucking pitching mechanics if you are going to use him in a mlb game. 
 

if they had all gone up to the play without a bat in their hands, the exact same thing happens. Only it happens earlier because there wouldn’t be at least one K.

[beer 3220]

Of all the possible ways to lose, that's worse than losing because of herpes

[Firemans4Horn 18034]

Cool offense the last 9 innings of the game. 

[cactusflinthead 27598]

That absolutely sucks 

[DougO 5243]

I finally get to sit through a whole fucking game, and I had to sit through that whole fucking game.

 

[gsoda3 3245]

throwing 8 straight balls in extras as a mlb pitcher.  cool cool.

[Jameslaw121 4448]

What a fucking trash shit show.

[gofuckyourself 8205]

Just another bullpen, one run, kick-in-the-nuts loss. Seems like about 50 of them match that description.

[Jameslaw121 4448]

What a joke.
Not gonna hold it against Hernandez, though. Should have never got to that. 

You mean except for 8 straight balls........

[dcar00 14154]

these guys are done.  likely won't make the playoffs. seattle is hot, stros aren't fucking headcases like we are.  the pitching just won't hold up.

Sure. I mean he got 2 outs and gave up 1 run. Would it be better if the first guy walks it off? It's a fucking miracle we even got it to the 13th.

The Duran baserunning and Aroldis/Heim vaudeville routine cost us the game. I have no faith in this team as currently constructed winning in extras. They can't even win in 9 innings.

[Pato del Muerto 52485]

So one team in all of mlb is 1-9 in their last 10. 

[Elmer_Fudd 22203]

I picked a good time to be busy with other stuff the last two weeks to not be able to witness this shit show.

Agreed. Wild card at best now. Those injuries are biting them in the ass and their bullpen is trash.

[AbeFroman 2154]

I'm trying to think of positives coming out of this.  I had set aside some money for playoff tickets, I guess scratch that I can go and just get a shit load of cocaine.

[DougO 5243]

Even if they squeak into the wild card round, they don't have the bullpen to get far, and not enough offensive depth. I was skeptical about them going all in with the trades, and this is why. They lost a few good pieces that could have served them better in the next couple of years, and now they look like another old team that won't have enough to get it done. At least Scherzer has another year, but I don't know if he'll be the same Max we hoped for. Montgomery was a really good pickup this year, but probably one and done. They're going to have to rebuild the bullpen yet again next year and get another starter or two, as they aren't likely to get help from the young phenoms in the system. They're basically back to where they started. Jung has been injury prone during his career, and if that remains a trend it's bad news. 

All that, and they're still paying DeGrom's hefty salary and getting zipola in return.

At least they kept us entertained through August this year - just in time for football season.

Watching yesterday and it hit me that this baseball team reminds me way too much of Texas football the last 4 years or so.  Either win easily or give up a big lead and lose a close game.  Just maddening.  Fucking Zeke's baserunning yesterday was absolutely inexcusable - pure dumbassery and it cost us a run and the game.  Way too many low IQ plays.    Has to drive Semien and Seagar crazy playing with these idiots.
