Texas Rangers 2023 - They're Still Shitty?

[shadow_operative2.0 15835]

Strong AB, core piece.

Save us, Aledo. 

[mdmost 42865]

Time for a nice DP

[Surly Bevo 24696]

[gofuckyourself 8122]

Bases loaded for Alvarez. Fun.

He almost hit a DP last AB, so really get it this time.

[Pato del Muerto 52342]

We’re finished

[SpiralOut 1809]

These umps are fucking atrocious.  But we do need the calls.

i haven't looked but i would think garver is one of the better DHs in the league this year.

maybe so.  seems like he is red hot or completely cold.

[Surly Bevo 24696]

I will consider that a win

[mdmost 42865]

That was a lot better than I thought it would be when it left his bat. 

[Firemans4Horn 17834]

We’ve put Maldonado on base way too much the last two games. 

[SpiralOut 1809]

Enough with the warning track heart attacks, please.

[shadow_operative2.0 15835]

Shoot me. 

[Surly Bevo 24696]

Welp

[ztejas 43266]

More dogshit pitching. 

[Firemans4Horn 17834]

That pitch was fucking horrible. Yeesh

[Trey3216 15325]

Get squeezed and give up the bomb

[gofuckyourself 8122]

Put it on a tee next time..

[dcar00 14036]

quit fucking grooving fastballs.  This staff sucks ass.  we are lucky we got this far.

[Surly Bevo 24696]

Middle middle bullshit

[SpiralOut 1809]

Never gonna win a World Series if you don't have some killers on the mound.  We have two decent ones and a bunch of trash.  

[Jameslaw121 4445]

I have no idea what the strike zone is anymore....

[brojangles2 781]

Baseball is so GD ridiculous. I love it significantly less, year by year. Fuck this shit, all my teams shit the bed. Horns included.

We only have two healthy starters. Duct tape and gluing a rotation together right now. 

[AbeFroman 2114]

All that from walking the shittiest 9 hitter in the league.

[dcar00 14036]

just ridiculous.  the bullshit with Maldonado and then grooving Fastballs every 5th pitch.

[Billy Pilgrim 1913]

Bradford should never see the mound again. Every batter hits the shit out of the ball, he’s getting lucky more haven’t flown out.

[chemHORN 1239]

Everytime we shit the bed on an offensive rally we turn around and give up a big inning.  Not a winning combination. 

[Surly Bevo 24696]

Walks suck

[gofuckyourself 8122]

Goddamit I hate the astros. That they suck at home but kill Texas at GLF is even more infuriating.

Exactly what I was thinking. Defense bailed out the bullpen a few times prior to Game three and somehow the bullpen cobbled together a few good innings prior to this series. Would not be surprised if Houston pulls 4 in a row. The Rangers might have enough offense to get back into this game IF they can stop the bleeding.

[SpiralOut 1809]

Not that we're going to make it there, but just imagine this pitching staff going up against Harper, Schwarber, and Castellanos in the WS.  Nightmare fuel.

[Surly Bevo 24696]

They are squaring up the fastballs down the middle. We either look at them or pop em up

[Firemans4Horn 17834]

Must be nice to have multiple arms that throw 98 with action instead of 91 middle-middle. 

[chemHORN 1239]

Then when they have a big inning we go 1,2,3.  

[Vic Mackey 46936]

This is what scared me about our run. We faced zero adversity so far these playoffs. I wanted to see what this team did when Houston punched them. So far, not jack shit. This is the streaky team it's been all year.

the ump is giving inches off the plate wide and decide to have a shitty pitcher try to throw an inside FB, who predictably leaves it middle middle.  Its dumb.

[chemHORN 1239]

Lol.  Didn't swing the bat once

[Trey3216 15325]

Way to look at 3 in a row Josh. 

[Surly Bevo 24696]

They checked out

He threw strike 3 2 pitches before the homerun just above the knee and right on the corner.  Called it a ball.

lineup sucks ass as well, mainly because Houston's pitchers seem to not suck.

[Billy Pilgrim 1913]

What a shitty bottom half of the inning. They look totally defeated

yes, he's inconsistent but he gives it enough that you don't ask your shitty pitcher to try to come in on Abreau with Tucker on deck.

Dude why are you in here? You hang in the Astros thread. Just rep trolling?

Nope.  Hope Rangers win

[chemHORN 1239]

Lol.  Now he calls that a strike

[gofuckyourself 8122]

Let's not walk this goonugget this time.

[dcar00 14036]

well at least Stratton didn't walk fat tub o goo.

[dcar00 14036]

fucking unbelievable

[Billy Pilgrim 1913]

Goddamnit
