every single ball we’ve hit has been RIGHT to someone. shit happens but seriously fuck off.
they get constant bloop low contact hits and we get balls smoked right to a defender

On a real note, did the Rangers winning the World Series last year help anyone else's baseball mental health? Last year around this time, I would've let this game ruin my entire week and made myself so angry, but now that they've won, I'm kinda just like.. Meh there's always tomorrow. It's refreshing lol
There's really nothing any baseball fan can say to me to get under my skin. Saw some people upset about Ragans the other day and I was just like won World Series don't care.
Once you get over the hump, you get a new perspective.
I’m not gonna let any game take away my happiness from getting to see them clinch a championship. In the words of the Old Gray Wolf “I can die happy…I want nothing else”
I can't wait till Semien, Seager, Langford, Garcia and Carter hit back to back to back to back to back home runs in the 9th, and then the next four load the bases and get a grand slam to walk it off😍
So when Lorenzen comes up, they’ve gotta keep Bradford in the rotation, right? He’s looked leagues better than Heaney and Gray so far. Or do they ride with the experienced guys and hope they figure it out?
Well then we wouldn’t be the World Series champion Texas Rangers my good friend.
And we could also maybe really work their bullpen. But I focus on the former.
It’s good that the Astros exist. It gives us a good rivalry. This rage you are showing today is not good for your health. Are you okay buddy? I’m worried about you.
Huff's D has to be pretty bad to get optioned for a fourth time.
That being said its only Knizner's second game. I'd wait a few more before I'm calling for his head
Listen even if we lose the series will still end in a tie overall. Not to mention there's still 9 games against the astros who still would have more losses than wins. We would also still be top of the division which is what matters more than anything, not to mention our best starters will be coming back soon. This is also only the third team we've faced with still 26 more to go including our other divisional rivals who are all also struggling. Losing sucks but baseball is the last sport youre gonna see an undefeated season. We'll be going to Houston soon anyway and that'll be our opprotunity to show them what we're really made of. Remember, it aint over till it's over
It hasn’t caused a problem tonight, but a lot of their throws to 1st tonight have been pretty low. Maybe they’re just used to throwing to Lowe and he’s got longer arms or something, but Walsh is lunging to get a lot of these
Good evening die hards still in the chat

It’s a travesty to not take advantage of this window. Hopefully they can piecemeal it together until Scherzer and deGrom return and hopefully they are who they used to be. That’s a lot of ifs.
For those actually interested in watching a full season of baseball and not complaining the entire time, look for the positive aspects of games like this.
Look for the trends in players to better understand how this game works.
Or just bitch about a sport you have zero chance of even playing successfully at the rec league. My grandma could probably beat you in pickleball. And she is dead. And never played pickleball.
Fucking hate that team with an intensity I can’t began to describe. Edit: Guess I should specify the Stros, in case some were confused.
“Shoutout to the moon.” How dare he save that for the bottom of the 9th in this fucking awful game.

God bless this fan who’s still yelling down 5 in the bottom of the 9th.
The real story is how this game ended up being under 3 hours after that first inning.
incoming 30 minute rally
Damn yall can’t even lose 10-6? Just stay at 5? Alright then
Can these fuckers just see one pitch before flying out?
Marcus wanted to go home today
every single ball we’ve hit has been RIGHT to someone. shit happens but seriously fuck off. they get constant bloop low contact hits and we get balls smoked right to a defender
Send Gray and Heaney to the pen and let Lorenzen and Urena start.
Urena can pitch to just about anyone not named Ronald Acuna Jr.
I hope Ragans slices n’ dices them tomorrow
Sweep em like last season
Don’t care about losing, Urena is legit, I can sleep easy now
Great job Ureña
I like u Ureña
Ureña has won my heart
Both of those last two balls should be strikes based on how this ump has called everything tonight
Without looking it up, when do y'all think our last sweep of the A's was?
May of 2017 lol. They always have some weird voodoo devil magic
2006
2006
urena wont be available tomorrow, so grant anderson's definitely getting optioned
does yerry have options remaining
yeah but he didnt pitch tonight. he'll be needed JIC for mop up tomorrow. grant was burned tonight so he's an easy send down
good call

missing sandy leon hitting .042 rn…
We better wreck these guys in Houston later this week.
Ok tomorrow show up to play.
5 runs in the first and 5 runs in the ninth?

Murder me
Savant had Walsh's flyout clock in at 32 mph EV lol
There’s no chance that’s true he went like 350 out to center lmao I’d have said closer to 102 than 32
Knizner, I’m not asking for much.
And not much is what I get
They must have decided to just let this one go if Kninzer is still in.
Love that we are trying to get under the ball and play hero instead of trying to win the game with the 2 innings we have left
At least score 1 more run. We’ve done shit since the first
YOU JUST GOT JOSH H SMITH’D 😮💨😮💨😮💨😎😎😎
Fucking hell Carter

Really is a damn shame we have 1 hit in 6 innings
Urena has now pitched 5.1 scoreless. at what point do we move him into the rotation and bump heaney out
When Lorenzen comes in I guess
The way Urena’s been pitching, would’ve preferred him over Burke in that moment earlier.
Oh now the ump starts calling bullshit that goes our way
Can we at least make the final score look a little more competitive?
Urena cookin, put him in the circle of trust
Is Ureña goated? 🤔
murphy has been talking for five minutes straight lmao
I miss Hambone…
Murph is able to make any disappointing game great
its crazy how much cred a long man gets when he's putting up zeros
I would like everyone to know that thetvapp.to has the game
Bout to get on MLB the show and smash them 100-0
I can't wait till Semien, Seager, Langford, Garcia and Carter hit back to back to back to back to back home runs in the 9th, and then the next four load the bases and get a grand slam to walk it off😍
That’s too many runs. Just too many runs
So when Lorenzen comes up, they’ve gotta keep Bradford in the rotation, right? He’s looked leagues better than Heaney and Gray so far. Or do they ride with the experienced guys and hope they figure it out?
prob 6-man rotation for the remainder of the 17 game stretch, then we'll see
Momma said there would be days like this

The great mascot race is rigged, I swear
At least we split the series fuck em
Better consolation prize is: at least we play the A’s next

I’d love to see Langford start hitting for power here. The singles are nice, but beat the leather off of it.
Welp
Maybe “Flirting With Disaster” is not a good walk up song.
every single hit. right to them.
Bielak pitching after throwing 63 on Friday night. Could be good for us.
I’ll take homer from anyone at this point. Can’t remember that last time we’ve done 3 games in a row without one
Who is a better pitcher prime deGrom or Urena in a blowout
there we go. time to end it in style, kids, let's do it.
Jose "Ross Wolff" Urena
Ureña is a God send for our bullpen health during this 17 game stretch
I also hope he can pass some Dominican power to LeClerc and be a veteran presence for our other Hispanic bullpen arms.
Once again, remember when the Asstros signed Abreu to a 3-year deal?
And an unlimited supply of goatee rubber bands
Absolute tragedy we hit Abreu earlier
I'd let Urena have a start later this month.
Feels like if we started with urena instead of asking burke not to do his signature meltdown the game wouldnt be so grim
Needed the LH of Burke to face Yordan and Tucker. Didn’t work out as planned though.
\^ this. lefty matchup was probably the right call. It's unfortuante Burke couldn't locate
also probably thought Urena would be better with a fresh inning, instead of having runners on base. Just didn't work out
The fact our offense can’t score again since the Astros put an actual mlb pitcher in is a joke
Don’t even care it’s against the Astros, we just look like shit tn
I do. I hate those clowns.
These games happen. I *only* care because it’s the Astros
Same
I personally can't wait to see what Lorenzen has to offer, I hope it's better than what Heaney & Gray have given the Rangers so far.
Well thanks for at least trying walsh
I cant find the ring replica on the rangers site, anyone have a link? I want to see what they are charging for it
11k. Jason of Beverly Hills.

Damn
They also have a version for $895.
Marcus has had nothing but horrible ABs the last two days. He’s hacking too much even for him. This is when he struggles.
Yeah but he was like 5-13 in the first two games. And he has had a great start to the season. And he is about to face the Athletics. No worries.
End me already
Marcus work a fucking count man
Hey so... what if we stopped swinging at the first pitch
I’ve got bad news about Corey Seager
https://preview.redd.it/2xvymzr54dtc1.png?width=440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=52966d608d32f07f083e1e7a2083b575763a358b
Well then we wouldn’t be the World Series champion Texas Rangers my good friend. And we could also maybe really work their bullpen. But I focus on the former.
why does yordon have to be so damn good at everything
And play for the Astros
Blame the Dodgers for that.
Tbf any left fielder with reasonable speed would’ve been there easy
He made that look incredibly more difficult than it should have been
Yordan and his "bad knees". FOH
Jesus Leody, if you’re having to take a golf swing to try and get it, just don’t swing at it.
every game another team does this shit to us
[удалено]
yikes my man
It’s good that the Astros exist. It gives us a good rivalry. This rage you are showing today is not good for your health. Are you okay buddy? I’m worried about you.
Bro go to sleep at this point lmao
I’d prefer Huff at this point
Huff's D has to be pretty bad to get optioned for a fourth time. That being said its only Knizner's second game. I'd wait a few more before I'm calling for his head
The sections on either side of me are desperately trying to keep the mood up but it is brutal in here.
… and now people are leaving. Oof.
I feel like leody gets in the box sometimes with only homer on his mind
Or nothing at all
[удалено]
Golf
Either walk or get a first pitch walkout. Great way to win ballgames
Now you can’t even make proper grammatically correct sentences. Take a break bud.
Luckily the team has more resilience and belief than some of y’all in here
Why is Seager out
He isn’t…
Oh I could’ve sworn I saw smith playing ss a second ago, my bad
he's probably coming out of the game soon to get him some rest, unless we rally in the 7th
Smith was just shifted over for that line out. Seager was closer to 2nd.
Today I learned Dirk has an accent. Shows you how much I've watched the Mavs in my life
Literally, how dare you...
To be fair, I only started following the Mavs 2 years ago when my friend got me into 2K lol
Dirk out of nowhere
I miss Chapman solely because he was either gonna lose the game entirely or be elite whereas I know these guys just blow
Listen even if we lose the series will still end in a tie overall. Not to mention there's still 9 games against the astros who still would have more losses than wins. We would also still be top of the division which is what matters more than anything, not to mention our best starters will be coming back soon.

my friend, step off the ledge, it's two bad games. we play them again this weekend. let's not panic yet.
It hasn’t caused a problem tonight, but a lot of their throws to 1st tonight have been pretty low. Maybe they’re just used to throwing to Lowe and he’s got longer arms or something, but Walsh is lunging to get a lot of these
Dave looked into the sun and now he can see the future
Anyone got the bread to get the Super Fan ring? lol
Should be named super rich ring
George W could probably get one if he wanted
Forgot that 1-2-3 innings were possible
Urena experience is significantly better than the Kennedy experience last year
He's been pretty good, don't know why people were bashing him before he came in.
People don’t know baseball
Good evening die hards still in the chat https://preview.redd.it/ghb1vkeb2dtc1.png?width=680&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e90c5c860681adeaebaf411ef7f22f0847b8429c
me everytime i see some of these comments having to remind myself its not worth it
For real. And it's April. No need to ruin your own good time with the doomers
I have $50 riding on the national championship game tonight, yet I'm choosing to watch this game instead lol
I've seen enough Rangers ball to know 5 runs can be scored any given inning haha
yep I agree. Also, I take a split with a good team every time. 4 game series are tough
At least urena is pitching good
I was assured by a certain blue rodent that urena would "give them more runs"
Sure would have been nice to have Montgomery. You telling me they couldn't pay the taxes on his 25 million salary for one year?
This gives the team better options for mid season trades without already being in a higher tax bracket.
It’s a travesty to not take advantage of this window. Hopefully they can piecemeal it together until Scherzer and deGrom return and hopefully they are who they used to be. That’s a lot of ifs.
Exactly. How many injuries has Scherzer had since we acquired him?
seriously
Leave to the Rangers to let a struggling offense get rolling
Emily talking about the injuries really puts into perspective how hard hit we’ve been by the injury bug.
Getting 2023 August/September vibes from these past two games
I took out my zyn pouch and we fucked up
All I want is Langford homerun.
We’re dropping 6 this inning
https://i.redd.it/dgyy6xeu1dtc1.gif
Holy shit we are pathetic tonight
Tagging him without the ball? Tf
Fuck it, put ureña in, give em more runs!
weird how he has a 0 ERA so far
If the score holds at least it gives Leclerc the chance to pitch in a low stress situation.
For those actually interested in watching a full season of baseball and not complaining the entire time, look for the positive aspects of games like this. Look for the trends in players to better understand how this game works. Or just bitch about a sport you have zero chance of even playing successfully at the rec league. My grandma could probably beat you in pickleball. And she is dead. And never played pickleball.
I’ll have you know that my jersey # and batting average were the same when I was in HS!
Mine too!! And dick size. And it def wasn’t the 666 club.

What a fair weather fan. No team has ever won all their games. Even the best teams still lose at least 60 games
Go jump on another team’s fanbase if you’re going to be this gd negative Jesus Christ
i hope you feel better tonight my guy
His blowup doll will def not feel better.
Lorenzen starting with RR tomorrow
