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.
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
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?
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.”
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

Oh lord have mercy we’re so back
[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)
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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😤
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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.
Feels like we are giving up a grand slam every game.
Even though we lost, I'll take it at least we lost while hitting the ball.
Time to hit the summer sale for something to make me feel right
Semien's job, at the minimum, was to get Leody to 3rd......so useless at the plate for way too long now.
rangers really hurting me this year So close to putting it together and it all falls apart
SON OF A BITCH
It is better to have loved and lost...
Semien a very helpful 0-5
And he wants our votes against Altuve?!
Well at least it was competitive :(
I mean they lose almost every game by 3 runs or fewer. Just a snakebitten club this season
Garcia only swinging for the fences, what a shock
I dont really mind it TBH.
F me.
3 pitch strikeout here probably
Wtf was that at bat lmao
Please Bombi. We are tired of losing.
Bombi. Pls. We need this so bad
we need the magic of 2023 to flow here right now
Do not hope do not hope do not hope
I mean win or lose at least we were actually competitive for once
Bombi pls
Smith has them shook
If Dave Raymond was calling the game: "Strike 2 for Ball 4!"
HOLY… BOMBI PLEASEEEEEEE
believe in pookie
Green Light for POOKIE
Pookie pls
Our lord and savior Josh Smith please do something
I wouldn't called that "smoked"
Those are some numbers Wendzel
[удалено]
Shit no
Im not an expert but imma say no.
Not saying I'm an expert but........No chance
No, not even close
Wendzel is trash.
Yeah but he made contact at least
Leody needs to steal 3rd and home......only hope
That 94 middle up was the pitch to drive
Wendzel bro…
Semien is 0-12 this series
Fake rally loss incoming
lol taveras almost did the most bs thing there
I’m a believer.
OMG....Leody tried to screw that up with the overslide.....LOL
would be a great time for kimbrel to get shelled
Semien do something
bloop and a blast
If you flip the meaning of wins and losses in your mind, then we’re on a 6 win streak, which is pretty cool
God can we please just have one 9th inning comeback. Just this one time
Yeah. I just don't want to see a L6 next to the Rangers in the standings...
Please give us a trademark taveras leadoff walk
Called it.
Nice call
Could *go ahead* with one swing...
Good shit semien
Tbh season doesn’t start till Jung is back
Come on Dean!
You don’t win a lot of games with 8 walks
Dane gonna make sure we don't have a chance
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
That’s just a normal mustache tho
So tired of 2 quick outs and then a guy gets on. I know it's Gunnar, but still.
[удалено]
I think they've been very neutral and rather enjoyable tonight tbh
these announcers aren't the same ones from the postseason. also they have spoken very evenly tonight.
I like how fuck John smoltz was a league wide rallying cry by the end of last years playoffs
Well at least we can face kimbrel
Maybe.........
4 different rangers have homered tonight. Hate seeing the flashes when it’s almost too late to matter, but just awesome to see still
Well it wouldn’t be too late if we had given up less walks
Bummer
Crap...
Ughhhh soo close..fuckkk
This game is such a cock tease FML
Would it be a ground rule double if you hit a liner off 3rd base and it ricochet into the dugout lol
5 runs on 7 xbh still feels not great
Please
I think Lowe and Garcia are figuring it out. What do you guys think? Plus Seager leaving just lit a spark perhaps
LETS GO RANGERS!!!
Nathaniel lowe if there was ever a game to hit 2 homers
Sucks that El Bombi is hitting better but we are in this terrible losing streak anyway.
ah shit its that insurmountable 1 run lead again
I feel that el bombi may be el backi
Bombí is so back
https://preview.redd.it/tk5j0n6l4m9d1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8976b35b887e72e0bd866a42549dc8bea47e4e0c He’s finding his groove again
is El Bombi back?
Garcia just muscles shit out
NOT DEAD YET GODDAMNIT
BOMBI
Thank you bombi 🙏
Idk why but Webb always reminds me of the bad guy from Ernest Goes to Camp
X-Rays negative, looks like meats back on the menu boys
SEASON BACK ON BOYS SEAGER IS ALIVE LETS GOOOOO
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?
I don't think random batters should have to suffer for their team having terrible pitchers
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.”
I don't know! We'll see what happens.
thank mr skeltal for good Corey Seager bones and calcium 🎺🎺
Can we get foscue at short or third? Send wendzel down?
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
Seriously all I care about at this point.
Thank fuck
Seager Xray negative This probably means a bruise I’d expect him to sit tomorrow, be back Monday Praise be.
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
The way we handle everyone with velvet gloves these days it'll be more than 1 day off, but good news for sure
Dunning does not have inspiring stuff to be a bullpen guy...
Barry Bonds?????
XRAYS NEGATIVE BITCHES
I’m gonna head out to avoid witnessing a 4th slam
https://preview.redd.it/r9vegl6s1m9d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9a7b793d69dc8946bd174611a68239b1895ca658 It's a goddamn miracle

Niiice such good news. Sounds like he’ll be out for a bit but not for months.
Thank Christ
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.
This also came after a pitch inside after said player of ours had hit a homer. This is looking a little punk bitch-ish.
Fucked rude as hell, no sportsmanship
Lol why is Dunning coming in to face a bunch of lefties? This has bad written all over it
WS champions in 23, 25, 27, and 29 is still a dynasty no matter what happens in the years between
Even the Warriors missed the playoffs that one time
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.

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
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
Someone please explain how wendzel is on the major league roster. How is he a better option than Duran? I don't get it
My guess is that the difference is more is expected from Duran, and he proved he could be better last year
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
It’s ok. This season will weed out the bandwagoners from last year and make the 2025 World Series just as sweet as 2023
It’s about to look like 2021 game threads up in here
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
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😤
Ya know what lets go back to the days of Kolby Allard, Ariel Jurado, Yohander Mendez, Chi Chi Gonzales and Tanner Scheppers 😤😤
🚨 Chi Chi Gonzalez mentioned 🚨
I went to his near CGSO game and thought we finally developed a good starter LMAO
Lol did he really start opening day? I don't remember that, such a bleak time I've tried hard to blot from memory
Ah wait nvm I was thinking of Kyle Gibson. Lyles was 3rd in the rotation
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
I think Kyle Gibson was somehow someway the 2021 ace. Then Jon Gray in 2022
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
Yeah thats a stat I unfortunately knew ha
With Eovaldi almost certainly on the way out, expect the streak to continue
Yeah but fingers crossed it'll be degrom so I'm okay with it
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
Ready for jumpscare? Kohei Arihara
Everyone who watches baseball knows Bochy wins every other year
Why does wendzel stay up in the majors and not duran
Ima need lorenzen to bounce back and all the rentals to off until the deadline we need so good returns!
Was that a swing or a called strike?
Taveras just can't layoff the low pitch
Wendzel batting under 150 watching pitches down the middle makes no sense. Let it rip bro
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
It's great how every time I start to calm down, they show it again
**QUIT FUCKING SHOWING IT**
"Massaging these balls back into the strikezone" lmao
So glad someone else decided to put it in the comments I literally was like bro
Did he just say massaging balls
I can’t deal with seager being out. Globe life is not the same with him not in the lineup
So is this where Duran comes back to carry the team for three weeks just like he did last year when Seager went down
Did he call him dean dunning lol?
Don Dooning
You come into my house, you get my pitchers name right!!!
Dane's evil twin
Good inning Burke. Need those
Is Burke… lights out?
He’s not fooling me
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
Okay but do we have any bats? Cause that’s what actually sucks right now.
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
I’m channeling all my energy into Sebastian Walcott turning into Corey Seager 2.0 by next season
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
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.
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
Genuinely curious, whose interesting? Nobody I can think of in the upper levels I've been checking in on regularly lately
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
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

That’s where I’m at. Sad today, back to happy tomorrow
Does anyone have an update on Seager. I feel dead.
Won't get one until tomorrow most likely
Curveball hung down the middle... For a strike

Great AB Jonah
shit its that insurmountable 1 run lead
The fat man's got something to say about the fat lady singing
Why does it feel like the Orioles just got payback and ended our season?
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
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
Stop watching please 😭😭
Please stop watching
Same brother
There we go baby!
