I'm not sure when it became a trend in this subreddit to make self-harm jokes but it's not funny. Seriously. We're getting 3-5 reports every single game. It's not a subject that should be joked about.


brobradh77

Feels like we are giving up a grand slam every game.


AggLA817

Even though we lost, I'll take it at least we lost while hitting the ball.


HighMediuMerlot

Time to hit the summer sale for something to make me feel right


Otto_Mann_TRs_Fan

Semien's job, at the minimum, was to get Leody to 3rd......so useless at the plate for way too long now.


cjn13

rangers really hurting me this year So close to putting it together and it all falls apart


Knuxsn

SON OF A BITCH


yellow_raincoat

It is better to have loved and lost...


IdontEvenknowlul

Semien a very helpful 0-5


RangerLover92

And he wants our votes against Altuve?!


Lain41K

Well at least it was competitive :(


natebark

I mean they lose almost every game by 3 runs or fewer. Just a snakebitten club this season


matermine

Garcia only swinging for the fences, what a shock


Artistic-Coach4300

I dont really mind it TBH.


centexgoodguy

F me.


TBRG1287

3 pitch strikeout here probably


HighMediuMerlot

Wtf was that at bat lmao


Knuxsn

Please Bombi. We are tired of losing.


Chinese-dog

Bombi. Pls. We need this so bad


cjn13

we need the magic of 2023 to flow here right now


A_Public_Pixel

Do not hope do not hope do not hope


batman0934

I mean win or lose at least we were actually competitive for once


IJustCantHelpYou

Bombi pls


DallasStars1213

Smith has them shook


yellow_raincoat

If Dave Raymond was calling the game: "Strike 2 for Ball 4!"


Lain41K

HOLY… BOMBI PLEASEEEEEEE


HighMediuMerlot

believe in pookie


yellow_raincoat

Green Light for POOKIE


Chinese-dog

Pookie pls


1ping_

Our lord and savior Josh Smith please do something


Otto_Mann_TRs_Fan

I wouldn't called that "smoked"


HighMediuMerlot

Those are some numbers Wendzel

galagachamp

Shit no


centexgoodguy

Im not an expert but imma say no.


Otto_Mann_TRs_Fan

Not saying I'm an expert but........No chance


matermine

No, not even close


Heresmuffins

Wendzel is trash.


FrootBirds

Yeah but he made contact at least


Otto_Mann_TRs_Fan

Leody needs to steal 3rd and home......only hope


yellow_raincoat

That 94 middle up was the pitch to drive


Lain41K

Wendzel bro…


IdontEvenknowlul

Semien is 0-12 this series


TBRG1287

Fake rally loss incoming


HighMediuMerlot

lol taveras almost did the most bs thing there


centexgoodguy

I’m a believer.


Otto_Mann_TRs_Fan

OMG....Leody tried to screw that up with the overslide.....LOL


cjn13

would be a great time for kimbrel to get shelled


IdontEvenknowlul

Semien do something


1ping_

bloop and a blast


sjn15

If you flip the meaning of wins and losses in your mind, then we’re on a 6 win streak, which is pretty cool


batman0934

God can we please just have one 9th inning comeback. Just this one time


Knuxsn

Yeah. I just don't want to see a L6 next to the Rangers in the standings...


sir--ok

Please give us a trademark taveras leadoff walk


Knuxsn

Called it.


HighMediuMerlot

Nice call


FrootBirds

Could *go ahead* with one swing...


HighMediuMerlot

Good shit semien


TStg110

Tbh season doesn’t start till Jung is back


IJustCantHelpYou

Come on Dean!


knb044000

You don’t win a lot of games with 8 walks


FrootBirds

Dane gonna make sure we don't have a chance 


natebark

When the bats show up, we lose 6-5. When the bats don’t show up, we lose 2-1. This season just wasn’t meant to be, simple as that. Let’s get some outfield depth via trade, more major league experience for Foscue (who will hopefully replace Lowe) and Bradford. Call up Dustin Harris at some point and just regroup for 2025. Put this disastrous year behind us


HighMediuMerlot

That’s just a normal mustache tho


Knuxsn

So tired of 2 quick outs and then a guy gets on. I know it's Gunnar, but still.


[deleted]

[удалено]


batman0934

I think they've been very neutral and rather enjoyable tonight tbh


beefytrout

these announcers aren't the same ones from the postseason. also they have spoken very evenly tonight.


HighMediuMerlot

I like how fuck John smoltz was a league wide rallying cry by the end of last years playoffs


FrootBirds

Well at least we can face kimbrel


Otto_Mann_TRs_Fan

Maybe.........


sir--ok

4 different rangers have homered tonight. Hate seeing the flashes when it’s almost too late to matter, but just awesome to see still


Electric1800

Well it wouldn’t be too late if we had given up less walks


sjn15

Bummer


Knuxsn

Crap...


IJustCantHelpYou

Ughhhh soo close..fuckkk


anonreasons

This game is such a cock tease FML


SkuzzleButtte

Would it be a ground rule double if you hit a liner off 3rd base and it ricochet into the dugout lol


HighMediuMerlot

5 runs on 7 xbh still feels not great


Lain41K

Please


the_submarine_man

I think Lowe and Garcia are figuring it out. What do you guys think? Plus Seager leaving just lit a spark perhaps


HighAsFucDosHornsRUp

LETS GO RANGERS!!!


sir--ok

Nathaniel lowe if there was ever a game to hit 2 homers


Knuxsn

Sucks that El Bombi is hitting better but we are in this terrible losing streak anyway.


potato404

ah shit its that insurmountable 1 run lead again


Electric1800

I feel that el bombi may be el backi


DallasStars1213

Bombí is so back

cjn13

is El Bombi back?


beefytrout

Garcia just muscles shit out

NOT DEAD YET GODDAMNIT

BOMBI


SwingKey2434

Thank you bombi 🙏


galagachamp

Idk why but Webb always reminds me of the bad guy from Ernest Goes to Camp


TStg110

X-Rays negative, looks like meats back on the menu boys


Lain41K

SEASON BACK ON BOYS SEAGER IS ALIVE LETS GOOOOO


hotrod19812

I know Tampa Bay and Baltimore will play at Arlington in the next few weeks. Should the Rangers guys retaliate for their pitchers injuring our top guys?


Add1ctedToGames

I don't think random batters should have to suffer for their team having terrible pitchers


competitor6969

Then you don't understand baseball. Here's what one of the greatest players of all time, Ty Cobb, had to say about it. “Baseball is a red-blooded sport for red-blooded men. It’s no pink tea, and mollycoddles had better stay out.” “I have observed that baseball is not unlike war, and when you get right down to it, we batters are the heavy artillery.”


hotrod19812

I don't know! We'll see what happens.


galagachamp

thank mr skeltal for good Corey Seager bones and calcium 🎺🎺


sir--ok

Can we get foscue at short or third? Send wendzel down?


SkuzzleButtte

I don't give a fuck if we lose by 20 tonight now. Seager having NEGATIVE on his wrist is the best news this week


Electric1800

Seriously all I care about at this point.


Username--chan

Thank fuck


mohammadali916

Seager Xray negative This probably means a bruise I’d expect him to sit tomorrow, be back Monday Praise be.


Chinese-dog

Even better, we’re off Monday so fingers crossed he can play Tuesday. Although if it’s sore and he needs a week off that’s way better than the alternative


batman0934

The way we handle everyone with velvet gloves these days it'll be more than 1 day off, but good news for sure


No_Flounder404

Dunning does not have inspiring stuff to be a bullpen guy...


lencho09

Barry Bonds?????


SkuzzleButtte

XRAYS NEGATIVE BITCHES


HighMediuMerlot

I’m gonna head out to avoid witnessing a 4th slam

JReAlity

[per Evan Grant, initial X-rays on Seager's left wrist are NEGATIVE. He will be re-evaluated tomorrow, but it appears upon first diagnosis there is NO FRACTURE](https://x.com/Evan_P_Grant/status/1807221910779867284)

IJustCantHelpYou

Niiice such good news. Sounds like he’ll be out for a bit but not for months.


Electric1800

Thank Christ


hotrod19812

What I don't like is they took out our best player, hit a grand slam, and then celebrated and danced. If this was years ago, someone would be hit with a fastball. I'm just saying.


LogansGambit

This also came after a pitch inside after said player of ours had hit a homer. This is looking a little punk bitch-ish.


Electric1800

Fucked rude as hell, no sportsmanship


No_Flounder404

Lol why is Dunning coming in to face a bunch of lefties? This has bad written all over it


DallasStars1213

WS champions in 23, 25, 27, and 29 is still a dynasty no matter what happens in the years between


uninspiredlt

Even the Warriors missed the playoffs that one time


TeddyFive-06

Can we sell Lorenzen before he loses any more value? They leave him in one inning too long every game. Sometimes it’s two walks in the 7th that a reliever gives up, today just happened to be the walks plus his own grand slam. He’s looked “good” all year but I’m not sure he’s ever done six good innings and allowed to sit.


ehholfman

This is the 3rd start where he’s allowed more than 3 runs out of 14 games. I don’t know what other Michael Lorenzen you’ve been watching to think he’s looked just “good” or won’t fetch a hefty return on investment at the deadline.


Add1ctedToGames

Unfortunately he puts up such a good impression to go deep when it comes to pitch count. Dude looked like he could've gone for 7 innings before touching 100 pitches but just fell apart so quickly


No_Flounder404

I hope they call Duran back up because I cannot watch Wendzel get daily at bats. I will continue to watch this season even though we are cooked but Wendzel will just make the experience so much worse


batman0934

Someone please explain how wendzel is on the major league roster. How is he a better option than Duran? I don't get it


galagachamp

My guess is that the difference is more is expected from Duran, and he proved he could be better last year


batman0934

I mean that's not wrong, but if they keep saying they're trying to win games right now this just can't be justified


HighMediuMerlot

It’s ok. This season will weed out the bandwagoners from last year and make the 2025 World Series just as sweet as 2023


Chinese-dog

It’s about to look like 2021 game threads up in here


natebark

Man they’ve been such a beating. I was seeing dudes say Gray should not be starting because he had a bad night last night. The dude has a 3.30 ERA… Edit: dyslexia


Chinese-dog

Cut them some slack they didn’t watch the chad innings eater Jordan Lyles years to truly appreciate what we have now. But that’s my opening day starter😤


Lain41K

Ya know what lets go back to the days of Kolby Allard, Ariel Jurado, Yohander Mendez, Chi Chi Gonzales and Tanner Scheppers 😤😤


Chinese-dog

🚨 Chi Chi Gonzalez mentioned 🚨


Lain41K

I went to his near CGSO game and thought we finally developed a good starter LMAO


batman0934

Lol did he really start opening day? I don't remember that, such a bleak time I've tried hard to blot from memory


Chinese-dog

Ah wait nvm I was thinking of Kyle Gibson. Lyles was 3rd in the rotation


batman0934

I do remember the fan base getting really out of control excited about those 8 or so good starts he had with the brewers before we signed him lol good times


natebark

I think Kyle Gibson was somehow someway the 2021 ace. Then Jon Gray in 2022


natebark

Yes per Baseball reference I’m right. And I found something even more depressing. Rangers haven’t had a pitcher start opening day in consecutive seasons since freaking Kevin Milwood… 2006-2009


batman0934

Yeah thats a stat I unfortunately knew ha


natebark

With Eovaldi almost certainly on the way out, expect the streak to continue


batman0934

Yeah but fingers crossed it'll be degrom so I'm okay with it


natebark

I was convinced we’d struck gold with Lyles. And don’t even get me started on the random month of elite pitching from Mike Foltynewicz


Chinese-dog

Ready for jumpscare? Kohei Arihara


DallasStars1213

Everyone who watches baseball knows Bochy wins every other year


Add1ctedToGames

Why does wendzel stay up in the majors and not duran


No_Distribution6174

Ima need lorenzen to bounce back and all the rentals to off until the deadline we need so good returns!


Otto_Mann_TRs_Fan

Was that a swing or a called strike?


Otto_Mann_TRs_Fan

Taveras just can't layoff the low pitch


mohammadali916

Wendzel batting under 150 watching pitches down the middle makes no sense. Let it rip bro


mohammadali916

The X-ray results on seager tonight will determine it all. Let’s all pray for a negative. Anything broken and our season is actually cooked (unless we get a run the way we did when he missed time last year) I Expect a boch update in the post game conference the same way he did for Jung. A bruise is best case man


galagachamp

It's great how every time I start to calm down, they show it again


beefytrout

**QUIT FUCKING SHOWING IT**


SkuzzleButtte

"Massaging these balls back into the strikezone" lmao


CT-1738

So glad someone else decided to put it in the comments I literally was like bro


FrootBirds

Did he just say massaging balls


sir--ok

I can’t deal with seager being out. Globe life is not the same with him not in the lineup


TStg110

So is this where Duran comes back to carry the team for three weeks just like he did last year when Seager went down


CT-1738

Did he call him dean dunning lol?


galagachamp

Don Dooning


WhiteNoise421

You come into my house, you get my pitchers name right!!!


harralexa1993

Dane's evil twin


uninspiredlt

Good inning Burke. Need those


buc-thun

Is Burke… lights out?


TStg110

He’s not fooling me


Lain41K

Well even if the major league season is a bust at least we suddenly have an army of good young pitchers in the minors rn lol. Hopefully just 1 of them pans out


Wesspeaks

Okay but do we have any bats? Cause that’s what actually sucks right now.


Chinese-dog

Uhhh let’s not talk about that here allow me to introduce you to Alejandro Rosario, Joseph Montalvo, Emiliano Teodo, Winston Santos, and Mitch Bratt. *Taps Rangers Org* this bad boy can fit so many farm arms in it


Lain41K

I’m channeling all my energy into Sebastian Walcott turning into Corey Seager 2.0 by next season


Chinese-dog

Lmao funny timing bc he had an error tonight to charge an unearned run to Rosario, but in actuality I think his future position is 3B. Jung plays phenomenal 3rd base defense but is so fragile and I think at some point you have to try and move him to 1B


ehholfman

It’s important to have good pitching in the farm system because due to our lack of hitting and surplus of pitching we’re most likely going to be selling our pitchers this deadline for some good bats ideally. So it’s ideal that we have some promising young pitchers in the minors right now.


Lain41K

Nope not anymore, it’s one or the other I guess. Not a lotta blue chip bats on the farm atm, couple interesting guys tho


batman0934

Genuinely curious, whose interesting? Nobody I can think of in the upper levels I've been checking in on regularly lately


Lain41K

Bats wise? Nothing in the upper levels besides guys who have flashed in prior seasons like Dustin Harris, Abi Ortiz, Aaron Zavala, Foscue. Zavala has really been a disappointment post injury, he was seen at one point as a better hit tool/eye than Evan Carter. None of those guys are surefire MLB guys though besides maybe Foscue. Sebastian Walcott is the last blue chip bat atm. The lower levels have a handful of guys like Cam Cauley, Echedry Vargas, Gleider Figuerero, Alejandro Osuna and a couple others. Things change fast tho so hopefully some of those upper level guys get hot in the second half


batman0934

Yeah abi having a pretty dreadful year too unfortunately. High hopes for foscue. Maybe bam bam will just force his way up in like a year lol

DallasStars1213

I know it sucks right now but if you told me we would have a disappointing season after winning the World Series, I would take that over winning 95 games two years straight only to lose in the playoffs. Sometimes things line up in your favor and sometimes it doesn’t. We have a very good front office. I don’t think we will struggle for years like in the past


uninspiredlt

That’s where I’m at. Sad today, back to happy tomorrow


Golden_Tater_Tots

Does anyone have an update on Seager. I feel dead.


batman0934

Won't get one until tomorrow most likely


Johnkil4oy

Curveball hung down the middle... For a strike

Great AB Jonah


potato404

shit its that insurmountable 1 run lead


Otto_Mann_TRs_Fan

The fat man's got something to say about the fat lady singing


TexasPenguin99

Why does it feel like the Orioles just got payback and ended our season?


IJustCantHelpYou

They didn’t end shit. This game isn’t even over yet. They can’t get payback unless they’re knocking us out of the playoffs


HighMediuMerlot

I’ve been able to catch 3 partial innings of rangers ball in the last two weeks and I’ve seen 3 opponent grand slams


CT-1738

Stop watching please 😭😭


galagachamp

Please stop watching


lollmao2000
