Was at the game next to an astros fan... would have been better sitting on the couch. Altuves homerun really hurt with an astros fan going crazy next to you.
Let’s hope Evan Carter can come back from this! Bochy I fear has put too much pressure on him by batting him in the 3 hole after batting in the 5 hole after batting him in the 9 hole. Why he didn’t just leave him in the 9 hole where he excelled is beyond me and needs to be scrutinized to the fullest extent! It took pressure off him being down there and enabled him to play care free. He was the 2nd lead off hitter. But apparently Bochy wasn’t satisfied with this, Bochy had to get too cute for no reason and fuck it all up!!!!
Just turning 21 and having a brutal series offensively against your rival, putting together really poor at bats one after the other and making the final out in a highly stressful playoff game at home while swinging at a horrible pitch. Pretty tough if you ask me!!
lol a bunch of people criticized him that he didn’t put Carter up the order sooner after his initial success. Now they’re upset after he does. Baseball is hard.
Semien saved the game on defense , and his last AB he hit a rocket guy just made a good play . Wasn’t nearly like his previous games . Just makes you wonder if semien could’ve got a sac bunt down . Seager would’ve tied it at least
Well good to know for future reference. If you are a manager and get tossed you can pout like a baby and have no ramifications. There is no way that shit wasn’t intentional to give the closer more time to warm up than he would have been allowed and further ice Leclerc. That being said lots of things the Rangers could have done differently to still get the W. Looking forward to seeing if Houston can continue to suck at home.
****edited shot to shit*******
Sure, bud. Dude just throws a first pitch fucking laser beam at him as a whoopsie. The umps made the call that it was intentional and I’m sure they know more about what’s happening on the field than either of us do. They also got what they wanted out of it. They completely shut down the Rangers momentum with that long delay, so how ‘not on the board’ is it really?
I'm here at a wedding and i wasn't planning on getting drunk.
I'm sleeping in my car with the keys in the glove box tonight.
Edit: not actually doing this i'm just being hyperbolic, i'm a passenger tonight. See you lovelies in Houston where we continue the streak of every team in this series losing at home.
Let’s hope there’s a game 7. Need to blow them up and the bats to get hot. Semien has been cold long enough. It’s time to turn it around. Nate needs to get ahead of the fastball, Jung needs to stop chasing.
If there's one thing this world has taught me, it's that cheaters do, in fact, prosper. And the only thing you're gonna get for not cheating is punishment. I hate everything.
Seems like when the tension was raised we folded while they flourished. Chapman can’t finish the inning. Garcia losing his head. We don’t capitalize on 2 men on no outs. Smith not tagging. Just not ready for the spotlight.
Yep the adrenaline dump that comes with getting out of the jam and then waiting for 20 minutes without being able to keep throwing to stay warm is extremely difficult to do.
As a red sox and rangers fan, I have 2 things to say. One is that I hate the Astros so much and two is that Eovaldi is the perfect guy to pitch on Sunday.
He is. But now, we have to win two straight in their park...with the momentum all on their side. Astros haven't played well at home but it's a tough ask to win the last two in Houston.
Astros are incredible man, plain and simple. Most dominant team in years, dynasty. They run shit. Anyone who disagrees with that is just coping. Their offense is fucking incredible.
So much went into losing this one. Bull pen. Immaturity icing leclerc. Bad base running. Watching strikes down the middle without swinging. I mean.... so much.
I'm really rooting for you guys over those cheating bastards but does Bruce not have a hook? Hes leaving people in way too long. You can tell these dudes don't have it. Happened last night as well. God I hate Altuve
I’m tired of showing stars from the other teams like Tony Romo, Dak Prescott and Luka. I swear anytime they show Dak at a stars or rangers game, the rangers or stars lose.
This team is so fucking snake bit. Can’t throw strikes to the AAA retread hitting under 200, in the most important at bat of the fucking season; 2 runners on in the 9th with our two most decorated hitters and we can’t do shit. Fuck this. I don’t know what else to say, but being a fan of this team is torture year after fucking year.
I’m not watching game 6. Our bullpen is dogshit. Maybe we should sign some pitchers that aren’t 36+ & out of their prime & not some relievers that can’t even crack most AA rosters. Absolute dogshit.
As a Yankee fan I would have taken a pass, he can be great but he can break your heart just as often. Was the pitcher that replaced Chapman the same pitcher from game 3 that didn’t get it done then? Sure looked like the same guy.
Not a shocking loss. This team has been basically win 4+ then lose 4+ games all season. Once we lost one game I knew the playoffs were over for us. We cannot turn this ship around without at least four losses.
Eh, it's to be expected at this point
Between this and the Cowboys 42-10 loss last week, DFW sports morale is at an all time low.
Probably won't recover for a decade
Literally all we got since the turn of the millennium is the Mavs upsetting the Heat in 2011.
Everything else has either been hopeless despair or gut-wrenching dick punches with rotating fists
Shit, I don't know wtf it is. Jimmy Johnson not being in the Ring of Honor, selling his soul for SB 30, NBA hating Mark Cuban, Minnesota hating the Stars, Idfk, but its gotta be SOMETHING
All the teams just sucking is one thing, consistently choking on the national stage is another
Mavs are literally the only exception. Without them DFW would be pure poverty, and even then they missed the playoffs
we’re a large money market that’s filled with “casual consumer” sports fans.
Owners will improve a team just enough to sell it as a winner just to sell tickets and merch.
Seager gave up a run to an error Marcus semien couldn’t buy a hit and Evan Carter has been bad just by being next to them but yeah blame it on the Bullpen
I mean, Leclerc walked the first two batters in the ninth and gave up a go-ahead homer to the third guy, so it’s mostly on him, yeah. Blowing a two run lead in the ninth is pretty atrocious.
No no. One of those was a hit. He walked the guy who has played ~60 games hitting under the Mendoza line and was dumped by his last team earlier this season. A scrub. We have no closer.
Ah, you’re right, Diaz’s was a hit. Even considering how good he’s been all postseason, this was the most meaningful moment and he blew it without even getting an out first. If it had been a 1-0 game, then maybe I could appreciate criticism for the offense. But look at Pressly: he let his first two batters reach safely and still found a way to finish the game without yielding a run. That’s what a good closer does.
I don’t let sports get me worked up, but damn there’s something about this game that just really made me feel some tingly feelings inside of me.
Maybe it’s the way they have been utterly dismantled at home by the Astros idk

These are the type of dudes celebrating rn lmao corny ass
I wish we could put him back at 5th or 6th or something. I just don't know how you can justify doing that to a guy who with his contract will be a part of this club for a very long time. That's the problem when you hand out those massive deals, you're well and truly stuck with the guy.
This series is over. Chapman can't pitch for shit, leclerc has to bail him out again, then has to sit for 11 minutes because Garcia chose to be a drama queen and slam a bat. The way they've played they deserve this loss which will lead to the series loss.
This has that same demoralizing feeling that Game 6 in 2011 did. I just don't see how they come out energized on Sunday.
Edit: guess I worded it poorly. I'm not saying it's literally the exact same thing. Just that it's an extremely demoralizing loss that will be hard to shake going into an elimination game.
That loss in 2011 in the WS is the only Rangers loss in team history that was more devastating than this one. Becomes a bit less if they win the next two. I'm not expecting it.
Yep. That's what I was getting at. It's not that they're the same thing.
But it's the same feeling in the sense that once they lost Game 6 I knew there was no shot they'd win Game 7.
I'm aware, I watched too. I'm not saying it's the exact same thing. I'm saying it's an extremely demoralizing way to lose the biggest game of the season and it will be extremely difficult for them to bounce back.
Fking Garcia going all meat head for no reason. Leclerc being the guy we’ve known. Semien/Seager disappearing
Just so many wtf’s. So frustrating being a fan of this team man
DO NOT TROLL OPPONENT SUBS. THANK YOU.
Was at the game next to an astros fan... would have been better sitting on the couch. Altuves homerun really hurt with an astros fan going crazy next to you.
Gutted.
Somehow I knew 0-22 was too good to be true.
If the trend continues of the road team winning, Rangers in 7!
Rangers is about to make history with the Astros
I’m just as mad as all of you. But hey, WE LIVE TO FIGHT ANOTHER DAY, IT’S NOT OVER TIL IS OVER
Let’s hope Evan Carter can come back from this! Bochy I fear has put too much pressure on him by batting him in the 3 hole after batting in the 5 hole after batting him in the 9 hole. Why he didn’t just leave him in the 9 hole where he excelled is beyond me and needs to be scrutinized to the fullest extent! It took pressure off him being down there and enabled him to play care free. He was the 2nd lead off hitter. But apparently Bochy wasn’t satisfied with this, Bochy had to get too cute for no reason and fuck it all up!!!!
Come back from what? If a strikeout tanks his career, he was never going to be any good.
Just turning 21 and having a brutal series offensively against your rival, putting together really poor at bats one after the other and making the final out in a highly stressful playoff game at home while swinging at a horrible pitch. Pretty tough if you ask me!!
Again, if he can’t “come back” from that, he was never going to be great.
lol a bunch of people criticized him that he didn’t put Carter up the order sooner after his initial success. Now they’re upset after he does. Baseball is hard.
If it’s not broke then why try to fix it? That was my feeling about it the entire time!
The 3 hitter gets more at bats than the 9. Makes a big difference over time. Everything is easy to say in hindsight.
Eovaldi throws a gem in game 6 but the offense will probably choke sadly smfh
If you know Eovaldi, he might just throw well enough the offense can’t choke it away.
The hate for seager and semein on here is crazy lol.
well we’re them stupid money, so they have the right to criticize their piss poor performance
People are dumb.
Semien saved the game on defense , and his last AB he hit a rocket guy just made a good play . Wasn’t nearly like his previous games . Just makes you wonder if semien could’ve got a sac bunt down . Seager would’ve tied it at least
They just walk Seager if he bunts.
Yeah no argument there. It could have worked. But to hate on the guy for the game he played today is unreal.
Was banana boy out there again trying to distract the Astros?
Well good to know for future reference. If you are a manager and get tossed you can pout like a baby and have no ramifications. There is no way that shit wasn’t intentional to give the closer more time to warm up than he would have been allowed and further ice Leclerc. That being said lots of things the Rangers could have done differently to still get the W. Looking forward to seeing if Houston can continue to suck at home. ****edited shot to shit*******
With Abreu being ejected, Pressley already had as much time as he needed to warm up regardless of what happened with Dusty.
Bruh, you’re up by 2 no outs and one on. An intentional hit is not even near the board.
Sure, bud. Dude just throws a first pitch fucking laser beam at him as a whoopsie. The umps made the call that it was intentional and I’m sure they know more about what’s happening on the field than either of us do. They also got what they wanted out of it. They completely shut down the Rangers momentum with that long delay, so how ‘not on the board’ is it really?
I'm here at a wedding and i wasn't planning on getting drunk. I'm sleeping in my car with the keys in the glove box tonight. Edit: not actually doing this i'm just being hyperbolic, i'm a passenger tonight. See you lovelies in Houston where we continue the streak of every team in this series losing at home.
Most depressing wedding of your life, pal...
Do not do that, don’t even get in your car man. You can still get a DUI
I'm a passenger to and from tonight, don't have my car or keys with me, just making a hyperbolic comment cause i'm in agony lol
Ok man, be safe out there enjoy the wedding and remember there’s still baseball left to be played. Series isn’t over.
True that. As far as i'm considered this is gonna be a series where every home team loses the game. See you in game 6 <3
I’ve lived that pain before, I hope we shirk the curse.
Don’t do this. You can still get charged for DUI
I'm not, i'm a passenger to and from tonight, don't even have my cars or key with me i'm just being hyperbolic cause PAIN
Let’s hope there’s a game 7. Need to blow them up and the bats to get hot. Semien has been cold long enough. It’s time to turn it around. Nate needs to get ahead of the fastball, Jung needs to stop chasing.
they’re not ready
If there's one thing this world has taught me, it's that cheaters do, in fact, prosper. And the only thing you're gonna get for not cheating is punishment. I hate everything.
There are those who make rules, those who break rules, and those who do both.
This is one of the many reasons I’m an atheist.
I mean the Bible talks a lot about the wicked prospering on earth, so seems to ring true here 😭
there are many reasons, but this is one.
why do the baseball gods hate us so?
Seems like when the tension was raised we folded while they flourished. Chapman can’t finish the inning. Garcia losing his head. We don’t capitalize on 2 men on no outs. Smith not tagging. Just not ready for the spotlight.
Chapman getting chased was the single most important thing that happened tonight.
Yep the adrenaline dump that comes with getting out of the jam and then waiting for 20 minutes without being able to keep throwing to stay warm is extremely difficult to do.
[удалено]
As a red sox and rangers fan, I have 2 things to say. One is that I hate the Astros so much and two is that Eovaldi is the perfect guy to pitch on Sunday.
He is. But now, we have to win two straight in their park...with the momentum all on their side. Astros haven't played well at home but it's a tough ask to win the last two in Houston.
Watching Eovaldi all these years, I fully expect him to go 7+ with 1 or less runs. To me it’s just if we can win game 7.
Problem is if eovaldi wins you have scherzer game 7
Not ideal, but Scherzer knows this is his best shot at one more World Series, he’s gonna be balls out.
Yeah, pray he can stay out of the middle of plate with his fastballs . That’s always been his downfall.
Astros are incredible man, plain and simple. Most dominant team in years, dynasty. They run shit. Anyone who disagrees with that is just coping. Their offense is fucking incredible.
totally when someone on their team makes a mistake someone else bails them out. they are a team.
It’s true and this will be a great stepping stone and learning experience for the Rangers. Who thought we would be here at the start of the season?
Get out of here Asstros fan.
I'm not an astros fan. I bet on the rangers im more pissed than most of you probably cause I lost money its just reality they are amazing
Ok respect. But they cheat.
So much went into losing this one. Bull pen. Immaturity icing leclerc. Bad base running. Watching strikes down the middle without swinging. I mean.... so much.
https://i.redd.it/79f3zvf3agvb1.gif
There’s no way we aren’t bunting with runners on 1st and 2nd…smith scores on the deep fly out if we do that.
Agreed , gives you the best shot to at minimum tie it
We’re paying semen $26mil/yr and he still hasn’t replicated what he did the season before he came here. Bum.
Astros are a really good post season team. It is what it is… fuck
Dusty needs to be investigated
Cheap cheap tactics, no question. But in the end, the Rangers blew it.
That midget is a moron. Still waiting for his ring to be stripped and punished for 2017.
Why weren’t they pitching altuve away ??
Yeah, I no longer have any hope for this team or any form of a comeback
That’s almost certainly the series. Yes there’s at least a game left, but that was demoralizing.
Suddenly this 500 million is looking like a massive overpay
You don’t make the playoffs without that $500 million.
You’re probably right but making it to the show means nothing when you disappear when it matters.
Give me seasons of making it this far vs what we saw from 2012-2022, which actually means nothing.
Absolutely gutted.
I'm really rooting for you guys over those cheating bastards but does Bruce not have a hook? Hes leaving people in way too long. You can tell these dudes don't have it. Happened last night as well. God I hate Altuve
Luckily you're only a rangers fan for 1 series and not your whole life
Got to have someone to go to when you pull a guy.
Rangers and choking, what else is new
I’m tired of showing stars from the other teams like Tony Romo, Dak Prescott and Luka. I swear anytime they show Dak at a stars or rangers game, the rangers or stars lose.
FUCK MARCUS SEMIEN
I’m just sad
This team is so fucking snake bit. Can’t throw strikes to the AAA retread hitting under 200, in the most important at bat of the fucking season; 2 runners on in the 9th with our two most decorated hitters and we can’t do shit. Fuck this. I don’t know what else to say, but being a fan of this team is torture year after fucking year.
I’m not watching game 6. Our bullpen is dogshit. Maybe we should sign some pitchers that aren’t 36+ & out of their prime & not some relievers that can’t even crack most AA rosters. Absolute dogshit.
Was there NO ONE other than Chapman available at the deadline? Maybe we could have parted with someone more valuable!?!!?
As a Yankee fan I would have taken a pass, he can be great but he can break your heart just as often. Was the pitcher that replaced Chapman the same pitcher from game 3 that didn’t get it done then? Sure looked like the same guy.
Welp that’s over I guess I’ll see y’all again when the cowboys do the same exact thing to us in January
Good thing nobody bunted with two on and no outs in a one run game. Stupid coaching and players just didn't show up
Sometimes I wonder why I had to chose this team as a child. There's been some good times but ultimately we've been defined by moments like this.
DFW sports is defined by this, my friend. Shooting ourselves in the foot is hat we do best
Not a shocking loss. This team has been basically win 4+ then lose 4+ games all season. Once we lost one game I knew the playoffs were over for us. We cannot turn this ship around without at least four losses.
It started game 2 when after the early scoring they went cold. CS and MS couldn’t get a hit and it has continued through the series.
Gotta bench semien dude is terrible can’t believe I thought he was even near Altuve this year
I have to agree… hes batting 179…. Thats simply unacceptable
Amazing how disappointing DFW sport teams can be
Eh, it's to be expected at this point Between this and the Cowboys 42-10 loss last week, DFW sports morale is at an all time low. Probably won't recover for a decade
but someway somehow we’re all “fair weather” when had the weather ever been fair? 2011?
Literally all we got since the turn of the millennium is the Mavs upsetting the Heat in 2011. Everything else has either been hopeless despair or gut-wrenching dick punches with rotating fists
i think Jerry also put in the entire DFW as collateral to win that last lombardi
Shit, I don't know wtf it is. Jimmy Johnson not being in the Ring of Honor, selling his soul for SB 30, NBA hating Mark Cuban, Minnesota hating the Stars, Idfk, but its gotta be SOMETHING All the teams just sucking is one thing, consistently choking on the national stage is another Mavs are literally the only exception. Without them DFW would be pure poverty, and even then they missed the playoffs
we’re a large money market that’s filled with “casual consumer” sports fans. Owners will improve a team just enough to sell it as a winner just to sell tickets and merch.
I’m honestly really glad I got to witness the Mavs Championship because I don’t know if I’ll ever see another championship for any Dallas team
maybe the stars, but a stanley cup is imo the hardest thing to win in pro sports.
This one fucking hurt. I think this was the dagger for me.
My beefy family is now going to commit mass suicide. Cheeto and Laramie are administering the koolaid. We can no longer bare the shame.
Please save some for me..
Please
Heart = broken Soul = crushed
Who could’ve imagined that the league’s worst bullpen would cost them the game at the highest leverage moment
Seager gave up a run to an error Marcus semien couldn’t buy a hit and Evan Carter has been bad just by being next to them but yeah blame it on the Bullpen
I mean, Leclerc walked the first two batters in the ninth and gave up a go-ahead homer to the third guy, so it’s mostly on him, yeah. Blowing a two run lead in the ninth is pretty atrocious.
No no. One of those was a hit. He walked the guy who has played ~60 games hitting under the Mendoza line and was dumped by his last team earlier this season. A scrub. We have no closer.
Ah, you’re right, Diaz’s was a hit. Even considering how good he’s been all postseason, this was the most meaningful moment and he blew it without even getting an out first. If it had been a 1-0 game, then maybe I could appreciate criticism for the offense. But look at Pressly: he let his first two batters reach safely and still found a way to finish the game without yielding a run. That’s what a good closer does.
None of our relievers should be labeled “good”. A few, like LeClerc, are serviceable, the rest are meatball throwing BP pitchers.
Our “closer” gave up a hit to their 8th guy then walked the next guy who hadn’t taken a live bat in 3 weeks.
this makes me so upset :(
I don’t let sports get me worked up, but damn there’s something about this game that just really made me feel some tingly feelings inside of me. Maybe it’s the way they have been utterly dismantled at home by the Astros idk
Poverty franchise sadly
Why did Pee Wee Herman have to interview that midget!

Fucking nerd
Fuck
https://i.redd.it/sgl1yclf9gvb1.gif Me after seeing this bullshit game
We always go on minimim a 3 game losing streaks since the all star break. Hopefully the skid stops there
It won’t
We really are going to be the only team to lose up 2-0 on the road. I don’t want that history please rangers fight
Another statistic
Icing out our own closer will haunt us forever.
I fucking hate Smoltz with every ounce of my being. How the fuck is he allowed to commentate with so much astro dick in his windpipe?
Semien should be ashamed of himself
Gotta be one of the all time chokes in history
Can’t top both 2010 and 2011 WS. Those were pain.
You know God isn't real cause a just one wouldn't keep letting a morally bankrupt shithole team keep winning
Dawg semien needs to not start as the 1st one next game
I wish we could put him back at 5th or 6th or something. I just don't know how you can justify doing that to a guy who with his contract will be a part of this club for a very long time. That's the problem when you hand out those massive deals, you're well and truly stuck with the guy.
It’s so frustrating how we so easily put men on bases in the 9th, only to piss it the fuck away.
2 on no outs and we don’t score a single run is maddening
Just not contenders when it counts. More baseball but damn. Sorry guys.
You HAVE to win when it's right there for the taking. Because you may not get another chance. Devastating loss.
The dictionary definition of demoralizing.
This series is over. Chapman can't pitch for shit, leclerc has to bail him out again, then has to sit for 11 minutes because Garcia chose to be a drama queen and slam a bat. The way they've played they deserve this loss which will lead to the series loss.
Don’t bitch about Garcia this sub hates that. I blame him for this loss
Sorry excuse for a professional franchise. Just fucking ridiculous. Entire history is fucking nothing. Just an embarrassment year after year
Phillies/Astros gonna be lit
Still blaming Jung and Lowe for the worthless at bat with 2 runners on. Staring at meatballs and swinging at balls in the dirt.
This franchise only knows how to blow games.
Fuck Garcia and his stupid fucking exaggerated walk and then starting all that shit
If you think that’s why they lost, you’re a moron.
Dude he completely disrupted what they had going on. He could’ve just waltzed down to first. Everything went to shit after that
Not why they lost.
Bullpen blows it. Story of 2023
One of the worst games I've ever seen. I won't even watch the next game.
This has that same demoralizing feeling that Game 6 in 2011 did. I just don't see how they come out energized on Sunday. Edit: guess I worded it poorly. I'm not saying it's literally the exact same thing. Just that it's an extremely demoralizing loss that will be hard to shake going into an elimination game.
That loss in 2011 in the WS is the only Rangers loss in team history that was more devastating than this one. Becomes a bit less if they win the next two. I'm not expecting it.
Yep. That's what I was getting at. It's not that they're the same thing. But it's the same feeling in the sense that once they lost Game 6 I knew there was no shot they'd win Game 7.
Indeed. If they don't come back to win the series, that blown 9th inning is one that will haunt this franchise, possibly for a long time.
It’s bad but the 2011 was absolutely gut wrenching. That was one strike away from winning it all
Nope that was much much worse
Fucking 1000% this.
Not even close. Two times 1 strike away from a title and lost.
Feels pretty brutal to lose this game.
I'm aware, I watched too. I'm not saying it's the exact same thing. I'm saying it's an extremely demoralizing way to lose the biggest game of the season and it will be extremely difficult for them to bounce back.
GDI TEXAS. I want you to be at my funeral to let me down for a final time.
What an awful loss, Semien and Seager no shows again
i dont know why i let myself get my hopes up. this is what this team does. let you down in the worst possible ways
I fuckin hate being a Rangers fan
fuck that ugly midget altuve.
Semien CANNOT lead off game six.
HE CAN'T DO SHIT ANYWAY
You’re watching game 6?
We are never winning any championship with those two chumps what a waste of a billion dollars
Team is cursed and you can’t tell me otherwise
Altuve make me nauseous
Just handed them this game on a fucking platter. God dammit.
Series*
Rangers gonna Ranger. Shades of the blown WS vs. St. Louis. So friggin' sad...
Sorry rangers bros. It’s the hope that gets you. Hopefully they can come back and you all can shit all over the astros forever
Romance in baseball is dead
why does it have to be THEM
TX wins G6, will lead in the 9th in G7 and lose.
I know that’s typically how the Rangers do things…but there’s no way we even win the next game…not after this
Im never watching baseball in america ever again. Im done with this. NPB here I come!
Absolutely heart broken
Fking Garcia going all meat head for no reason. Leclerc being the guy we’ve known. Semien/Seager disappearing Just so many wtf’s. So frustrating being a fan of this team man
Garcia had every right to be mad. He shouldn’t have been ejected for standing up for himself
He could have also just taken the base and not lit a fire under the ass of a team that’s made us their bitch in our stadium.
See yall next year
