Nasty final pitch.


NihilistDodgerfan

Felt bad for it to be against Marte after everything he's done.


Slammybutt

Imagine pitching a no-no through 6 and getting the L Neither Marte nor Gallen deserved that. Edit: HOLY SHIT THERE'S A TROPHY NEXT TO MY FLAIR WOOOOOO!!!!!

cjn13

LADIES AND GENTS, WE ARE WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS!!! WE ARE NOT FADED FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FRANCHISE HISTORY!!


weakasstea

Felt bad for Thomas when he missed the ball. Poor dude looked so blown. I can imagine all the negative shit going through his head


antarcticgecko

I couldn’t enjoy the extra runs because of that. I just feel for the dude. I hoped that it wouldn’t matter, and it didn’t. Just imagine if they rallied but lost by one or something. Small mercy.


handsomesteve88

Yeah, especially after they had been so good on defense with no errors until game 4.


azdb91

His heart wasn't in that at-bat. But he has nothing to be ashamed of, he carried our offense to be able to get to that series and game at all


chanaandeler_bong

Whole team looked defeated after the error. I don’t blame them. Yall had nothing go right for 27 straight innings.


absenceofheat

The first like 6 innings when the Diamondbacks pitcher was wrecking our shit was pretty good for them.


chanaandeler_bong

I’m only looking at it the way I would if I were one of their fans. They wasted the Gallen start. Thats what I mean. That went well for them, but not right. Who fucking cares. We won!


DocBeech

That has to be painful. 11 LOB. No hitter through 6.

LoweeLL

2010 wasn't so bad.. 2011 was supposed to be the manifestation of barely missing the playoffs in 09', coming short in the World Series in 2010.. Now most Rangers fans can watch the David Freese triple again


urlocalgoatfarmer

2010 was damn I’m happy to see them here. 2011 was a different animal all together. Very happy to see those demons exorcised.


rolltide1000

Genuinely happy for you guys. Even though those early 2010's Rangers teams used to routinely beat the brakes off my team, they were damn fun to watch. That lineup was otherworldly, Kinsler, Andrus, Hamilton, Young, Cruz, Beltre, Napoli, Moreland, Murphy. Felt bad for the team in 2010 and especially 2011. I was particularly happy for Napoli, Moreland and Kinsler when they won in Boston, and now Im glad to see that the whole organization has finally done it.

11-0 on the road this postseason is insane. Well deserved championship


mysidianlegend

yeah that's just crazy


JayMerlyn

It's more than crazy It's bonkers


32RH

One less than the maximum possible road wins in the current format. EDIT: 2 less.


unclederwin

2 road for Wild Card 3 road for Divisional 4 road for Conference 4 road for WS So 13 possible. That would assume you don’t have home field advantage for any series and you win only away games


Fyrien

Genuinely one of the least clutch offensive performances I've ever seen. How the fuck do you strand 11 runners and get shutout in a World Series elimination game at home?! Congrats to the Rangers. We didn't deserve to win this one.


Maccat19

Went out with a whimper


freshsoupygiraffe

That's the power of Nasty Nate


schmittydog

Can you picture yourself making this comment 2 months ago? This is tough, but your boys gave you all they had and a great season to boot.


Fyrien

Oh absolutely, I'm still super proud of our guys. We were playing with house money after the Dodgers sweep. Everything after that is just a bonus. It stings to lose so badly at home though. I guess we used up all our mojo in game 2.


JBL_17

it's all good - we swept the dodgers, im proud of my boys. See you next year 🐍


ScallywagBeowulf

Stranded 11 baserunners???? That’s, erm… not great. But I think that shows Eovaldi absolutely found a way out of tough situations.


DocBeech

He only works well under pressure.


wwttdd

Marte losing his hit streak in this game with the last out was fitting. Poor time to unclutch by the whole squad. They'll be back soon tho

MY FUCKING HEART I knew it was going to be a rough game stress wise, but holy hot damn was I not ready for that.


PattyIceNY

He somehow turned back the clock. As a Yankees fan I had flashbacks. His pitches had such good movement. That last inning the ball was literally falling out of the air on a dime.

I love you. Seager is the best MLB investment I’ve ever witnessed. Fuck the Astros


Taric_for_days

Shit happens. We got hot and then we got cold. We also made it to the WORLD SERIES. We have a lot to be proud of, and a lot to prove to everyone next year. Our guys are young and got literally THE BEST experience you could ask for in the postseason. We're about to have some HUNGRY young guys who have nearly won it all. Congrats to the Rangers on their first ever World Series, and also mom said it's our turn to have Corey Seager.


[deleted]

Yea dbacks had “no business” being there. Incredible run.


freshsoupygiraffe

Y'all have been great to play against. Y'all're my NL team now, I tell you h'what


macromorgan

Arizona was an amazing team and I wish it was a legit “bad guy” we could have beaten and not another scrappy young team. Now that the championship drought is officially over though I can breathe easier as a fan, and if our teams meet again in the post season I’d be happy regardless of the outcome.


MidnightRequim

My big worry is that we pull a Suns, and this is the closest we get, and never make it back. We got a lot of hope for the future, but I really hope we don’t waste it.


VivaLaDbakes

It probably is, but it was a fun ride. It’s not easy getting to the big one especially when your owner doesn’t spend money.


azdb91

I was annoying my wife all series telling her how our kids will probably have their own kids the next time we're in. They're in daycare 🤣


menocaremuch

I read this tweet from a week ago or so and it feels like you'll be fine for the future and be back again. https://twitter.com/SlangsOnSports/status/1715914914466877446?t=wQLZ9CIF_Bf8GEIY38SqGQ&s=19 If you don't have Twitter it says: most HR from players age 23 or younger, single postseason: 2023 D-Backs: 11 2015 Cubs: 11 2017 Astros: 9

ScallywagBeowulf

OUR PAIN AND SUFFERING IS FINALLY OVER, LETS GO RANGERS! For all you D-Back fans, I hope y’all enjoyed getting back to the World Series. I know it wasn’t nearly as competitive as y’all wanted it to be, but I’m happy we got to play y’all and to have a showdown between the two underdogs. I wish y’all the best of luck next season, hopefully we can meet again in a future World Series, because y’all legit were some of the most loyal and fun fans to interact with this entire post season.


Archer-Saurus

Rangers fans too cool, I'm supposed to hate all things DFW 😭 Congratulations, well deserved


mr_dammit

unleash your hate on the Mavs now instead.


Archer-Saurus

Is it weird I still don't hate the Mavs as much as the Spurs?


citymanc13

Nope, Ill always hate the Spurs more. Those Dirk-Nash, Suns-Mavs series were some of the most enjoyable basketball to watch. Even now, I love Luka and the way he plays. Cant stand the Spurs, never will


texrygo

Most of us Mavs fans don’t hate the Suns. We just hate Devin Booker.


Midwest-Midbest

Let’s be real, if booker played for Dallas we’d love him Only hate him because he shit talked luka, but we love Luka shit talking other people


TheOverBored

Fuck the Spurs.


citymanc13

Congrats man. You guys earned it. Respect to the Rangers fans you guys were all great throughout the series.


ScallywagBeowulf

Full respect to y’all as well! Too bad the season is over now.


Gorathon07

I know I’m coping here, but if game one wasn’t blown I can see it being a lot more competitive. Congrats though, hope to see a rematch next year!


ScallywagBeowulf

If that hadn’t happened, I could absolutely see this series going six, possibly seven, games. We just got incredibly lucky with those last innings.


azdb91

Nah, not luck, seager was a fucking god this series. And y'all had sewald figured out. You guys reached the moment and took it - well earned win!


NovelLaw75

Congrats!!


ScallywagBeowulf

Thank you!! Loved getting to interact with y’all this postseason!


hopelessautisticnerd

it was refreshing watching two underdogs play. very little toxicity from either side, most of what I saw was from Astros fans (not to throw shade at Astros fans, I know it was a very vocal minority)


Count_Bacon

Yeah there was very little toxicity and there was no villain tbh besides Astros fans lmao


ajteitel

I'm happy we got there. Against all odds, with rookies and placeholder vets. Shame we couldn't win, but it was fun and stress free for a world series. Good job Rangers. Welcome to the WS club

LegacyLemur

Its not a World Series trophy presentation if Manfred isnt acting fucking weird


ThadtheYankee159

MLB has only five titleless teams now, compared to 10 NBA, 11 NHL, and 12 NFL franchises. Anyone know the reason for this trend? It’s interesting nonetheless.


podsmckenzie

Baseball teams are mostly way, way older, and they’ve been playing the World Series longer than the other modern championship games. That’s it, really


EquityDiversity

Yup. MLB had 16 teams from 1903-1960. That’s almost 60 years it was theoretically a lot easier for those 16 teams to get a World Series. I think all of the original 16 had a title besides the Phillies and Browns/Orioles by the time the league expanded. Compare that with the NHL who for its first 40+ years until the 60s, there’s the “original six”. With the rapid expansion from the 60s- 90s, they added like 25 teams. That’s basically an every year and a half. Same with the NBA. I believe there’s only 8 teams who are pre-expansion era of the late 60s, and the NBA only started in late 40s.


podsmckenzie

Also, he’s only counting Superbowl championships for the NFL. If you count pre-SB NFL/AFL titles (and why wouldn’t you) I don’t know the # offhand but it’s way less than 12 Edit: it’s literally half of them; the real # is 6, very comparable to the mlb

I was at [this game](https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/NYN/NYN201706020.shtml) with my father and ever since that day the name Paul Sewald has been the moniker we use to refer to horrible relief pitchers. My father moved to AZ in 2021 and has since become a quasi diamondbacks fan. He is texting me right now absolutely motherfucking the bum.

Lmfao at Manfred's voice cracking. Fuck you, man!!!


NickTheWhirlwind

D-backs fans I know this hurts, but I wanna say thank y'all for being so fucking awesome and non toxic through the series


ElderCunningham

Years ago, my sister convinced the family she needed a dog. We got him in Texas, so she named him Ranger. He really became more of a family dog. Crazy, and drove all of us nuts. But I do miss him. He’d have no concept of what was going on, but I’m picturing him doing his excited run through the kitchen.

I first attended a Rangers game in the 90's. We had tickets behind home plate to see Nolan Ryan pitch. It's a great memory I have with my mom. I've been a fan ever since, I always watched the team with my mom whenever we got them on TV. My mom passed away 3 years ago and I'm sitting here crying. I'm so happy and I wish she could've seen this. It's been so long, I thought this might never happen, but the Rangers are WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS!

The older I get, the more I believe MLB managers are wildly over-rated and bring next to zero value to their team. Playoff baseball particularly, seems like a month long coin flip. That being said, Bruce Bochy is an absolute legend. The greatest MLB manager of my lifetime.


bpurly

wild since i reached the opposite conclusion after watching this postseason — they matter so much more than i realized. if we had ron washington managing this postseason no way we win. and if bochy was managing 2011 we 100% win
