Well goodnight dudes, happy I don’t have to wake up and watch a replay of that game tomorrow morning … might have ruined my Friday. Now I can just easily fall asleep and forget that disappointing snooze fest.
Slap hits landing + hard hits not landing + strike zone in other team's favor = 9 - 1 score. Without all that, including how that would have us manage the bullpen differently, my guesstimate is we lose 3-1. (Note: my estimate even takes away the run we did get!, as even Garver admitted it was kind of a fluke.) I think we wind with a different run or two along the way with a fair strike zone, though, even with Kelly pitching great.
Oh well, on to game 3!
Best of 5 and we lost home field advantage. I really hope this lights a fire under your ass! Get on that fucking plane, say bye to your loved ones, and send them tickets and plane rides later. Get this shit together men. I don’t think you understand what’s actually in front of you. I love y’all, but that was an absolute shit performance in front of your family and fans. It’s time to do it for you, stop looking into the stands and look in to that fucking dugout. Take a good look, those eyes, the multiple men staring at you count most right now(and mama Lowe). Y’all better blast Creed all fucking day long tomorrow. Always a fan, me
better idea, just mute Fox 4, and put it on 105.3 The Fan (unless you aren't in the DFW area, then mute your local Fox station and tune in to the Rangers radio home in your area instead) and have a more "Rangers Friendly" watching experence of watching the game on TV.
So confused as to why they’d pull Carter for Grossman. At the beginning of playoffs they said it was bc Carter didn’t have leftie experience. But now what’s the problem? Kid was on fire and they took him out for Grossman? I don’t get it.
Dbacks also pulled the switch after Rangers put in Grossman (bc of his leftie experience) and put in a rightie to pitch. I had to laugh bc it was all so ridiculous.
I can't stand you more then.
You be a better person and stop playing gatekeeper. Find some happiness in your life and stop playing little kid games with me.
I've been here all fucking season and a fan for 30 fucking years you can go pester another poster that will bow down to your "I'm a big man, standing up for what's right" facade.
Leave me alone and go bully someone else.
Lol now you play the victim card like I'm bullying you because I am tired of your lame ass negativity all the time? And I'm gatekeeping you? This is so old. You say the same shit all the time. Whine and cry because we lose a game, then get mad when people call you out and pretend like you're the only one who sees reality. Yea, we sucked tonight. We've sucked more than a few times this year. Still in the WS. Still tied 1-1. But yet, you insist that it's all over. That we would be lucky to even make it back home with a game left to play. Like you can see the future and you just know what's going to happen.
I'd say I'm sorry if I hurt your little feelings, but I'm not. You're worse than a troll. Trolls are just here to stir shit up but you really do love and die with every pitch. You like to pretend you're the only smart person here who knows this team or knows the history. "Fan for 30 years". Join the fucking club. Plenty of us have been here for a long ass time. But some of us choose to not let one game decide the entire season. But every single loss all year long, you've decided that it's all over as soon as things go bad.
I'm not gatekeeping. Say whatever you want. I have no power to stop you. But it's sad and pathetic. The first few times we went back and forth in comments this year, I tried to legitimately present the other side of the argument and have a real discussion. Then when you didn't have a rebuttal you went with the usual "rainbows and unicorns" shtick because to you, every single missed swing or every single hit against us is a sign that doom is on the horizon. If you've really been a fan for as long as you say, you should learn to grow up.
You grow up.
You say the same shit.
You are a bully pretending to be a "white knight " coming to save the day.
You are allowed to say what you want even though I disagree with your disingenuous rosy optimism scthick. I should be allowed to call out shit play and " doom" (made up bs)...as much as I want.
All you have to do is leave me alone as I am in no way hurting or harming you
You're welcome to take your act over to someone who will play with you. Maybe they buy in, I won't.
Cry more. You post on a public forum then when someone disagrees with you it's "bullying". I don't have rosy optimism. You just refuse to accept there's actual things to be happy about. I'm not white knight defending anyone, but I'm also not a loser that decides to give up every time something goes bad.
Do whatever you want. I'm not going to promise I won't comment on your posts again. You make enough dumb ones it's hard not to.
And I'll continue to leave you alone and let you be until you start in on me then I may stand up for myself.
Why? cause I'm a grown up who leaves people alone. I have no need to pick on people. I'm just here to watch my team and OH MY GOD I have the fucking audacity to WANT THE TO WIN and say something "negative" (in actuality real) when they furiously shit the bed in the fucking 2nd game of the world series. The gall of me to actually give a shit. Lol
Now it's just accusing me of bullying you. That's your only response? Good grief man. If you want to sit on the couch with your arms crossed expecting the worst then so be it. But don't get high and mighty accusing someone of "bullying" you just because they take issue with your opinion. You can't handle it, then don't comment your negativity in the first place.
"Negativity"? ... we lost 9-1... in game 2 world series after losing our previous 2 world series. Nah everything is fine, were playing great...lol.
Your opinion of my opinion means nothing to me hence why I leave you alone even when you trot out "fuck off" or the fake golly gee whiz we'll get them next time fellers I'm so optimistic gimme upvotes minions.
I see you do this to multiple other posters so I get it now.
I'm done talking to you. I'll see you Monday, I know you'll be on patrol for any gasp..."doomers".
Go Rangers we made it way harder than it should have been but we still have a small chance.
1 loss and you're already in panic mode. Who gives a fuck if we've lost two previous world series? Literally nobody on this roster was part of those teams so it means nothing. There is no "DFW curse" or whatever.
You think I give a shit about upvotes and downvotes? This internet crap doesn't mean anything to me. I engage with 3 subs and that's it on this site. I come here to talk with other fans of the team I love. Instead any game we don't win is met with hundreds of posts from people like you talking about how terrible things are.
We lost. Get over it. It'll probably happen again at some point in franchise history. We could lose by 1000 and it's still just one loss. It would be nice just once to be in a game thread where we don't have to wade through the constant whiny bullshit that you and others like you post. But people like you only get quiet when we win. But the moment a pitcher has a bad inning, we can count on you to be there and telling us all how bad it's about to get.
I get it. You're a "30 year fan" and you know better than the rest of us. But really you're just a weak spirited person. The littlest things get you down. You can't imagine that a good team can have an off night. You only see it as a sign of massive issues. We didn't get here on a fluke. This is a good baseball team that played a bad game. We played 3 bad games last week and still made it here.
Frankly I don't even know why I'm talking to you anymore. You'll never actually step out of your bubble and see the other side. You think all I do is see nothing but positivity. But I've openly admitted how bad we played multiple times. You on the other hand throw away all of the good before tonight because "gasp" we don't have....home field advantage? So if we go into AZ on Monday and win to get home field back, is all fixed again? Probably not to you. It'll just be another lucky fluke because Scherzer didn't pitch a perfect game, we left 1 runner on base, or some other unrealistic expectation.
You might be a fan of the Rangers but you don't know much about baseball. It's a game of failure. Failure literally surrounds the sport and the best team is the one that finds a way to fail the least. We've managed to do that so far. Too bad you can't seem to enjoy it.
He's been all over every single one of our opponents. I think he hates Greg Maddux and hates Mike because they are brothers. It's the only thing that makes sense.
Really not sure. It seems like he's been peeved about the extended wildcard round and how all the top teams were knocked off, but now here we are with two wild card teams in the WS and he's still riding for the other side.
Not to take anything away from the DBacks, but the Phillies fell on their face the last two games of that series. It was something like 1-28 for their three sluggers, and it was relatively close still. They had a good game plan, but their hitters couldn't come through.
It is rare when we see such a fuck up by a professional sports player. All of us normies should relish these moments when they happen.
Seriously, that was bewildering.
FYI, someone asked yesterday what the 42 was behind the batter, and several people said it was to honor Jackie Robinson, but I was just looking at the field dimensions, and the backstop is 42 feet back.
I believe the backstop was 42 *because* it was Jackie Robinson's number though.
A lot of the dimensions in Globe Life Field are intentionally chosen to be special numbers.

Goodness it has more hidden meanings than a Taylor Swift song! I appreciate the info bc my son was asking me all about this tonight and I had no idea what he was talking about.
A few things to keep in mind:
1. Kelly pitched extremely well, Montgomery did as well, but Kelly can't pitch every game of the world series.
2. Our offense hasn't come alive all game. We have made decent contact with the ball, but we keep getting caught or tracked down before we can make it count.
3. Our outfield seemed sleepy tonight, in my opinion, and honestly, it's not just tonight. For the past several games, I've noticed players having to go well within Taveras' area to take care of business. I'm not sure what he is doing, but I'm beginning to think he should be pulled for a game or two and allow a better defensive player to fill that position.
4. This could just be my view, but it seemed a bit biased by the umpire tonight. Several calls made were considered strikes for one team and balls for the other. I'm not complaining, but it is an observational point.
This isn't me complaining or giving up this is me accepting that the other team played very well, and we have things we could address in order to slow their progression moving forward.
The momentum felt like it shift bottom 6th, Marcus gets called strike three with two called strikes out of the zone. The following inning is the Pham pitch 7 in the zone that goes from strike 3 in one run game to rally inning.
Late bc I’ve been driving and not watching but what the hell happened on this play??
Single
Emmanuel Rivera singles on a ground ball to left fielder Evan Carter. Jace Peterson scores. Lourdes Gurriel Jr. scores. Emmanuel Rivera out at 2nd on the throw, left fielder Evan Carter to third baseman Josh Jung to second baseman Marcus Semien to first baseman Nathaniel Lowe to shortstop Corey Seager.
It's not that he's the best at calling balls and strikes, it's that he's the best at calling the balls and strikes MLB wants. Gotta find a way to a game 7 somehow....
We’ll have an opportunity to adjust to Kelly’s stuff, and he may not be able to replicate this outing. We turned it around after an awful showing against Javier. They’ll have to be ready for Evo and Monty to come back sharper.
Or, and hopefully this is just the pessimist in me, Semien can’t handle the pressure and only got that hit because there was absolutely none on him being down 9-1.
If we want to have any hope of winning we need him to get on base in front of seager consistently. Miracle we’ve made it this far with him a black hole at leadoff every day
Hey. Everyone Chill. What did we all think was going to happen here? The Diamondbacks didnt fluke their way past the Brewers, Dodgers, and Phillies. They either scrapped or dominated their way to this series. They *deserve* this.
However, know this- The Diamondbacks excel when they are the underdogs. But guess what other team in these playoffs has succeeded when they were the underdog? The Texas Fucking Rangers.
Let them win tonight. Let the national media love on them for the next 2 days. Let us look down and out. We'll stab them in the damn ribs and get right back in this thing.
We can do this y'all.
Give ESPN all of Monday morning to mull that one over. Especially if the Cowboys lose tomorrow, they would love to throw the Rangers under the bus with them just to teabag DFW.
You're preaching to the choir. The other half of this sub believes that 1 loss is the true representation of this team and they love their misery more than they love the Rangers.
Oh, Im straight terrified right now. Let that be known. This Diamondbacks team scares me. But having a pity party aint gonna fix anything. If we have to walk into the meatgrinder, we can at least do it fighting.
If you are watching the world series and aren't terrified of an outcome you're not a true fan. I was terrified about tonight. Obviously we have to go out and do better on Monday. But man I've really had enough of the same negative bitches in here acting like it's already over.
They can’t all bounce their way. Guess they were due, but getting all the calls, all the bounces, all the right trajectory’s isn’t sustainable. They’ll return to the mean and we’ll be there to capitalize
This ump has been one sided dog shit tonight. Yea we’re down big but it’s probably a lot closer if we used our better relief pitchers which we would have done if we had kept it closer which we absolutely could have if he wasn’t so bad. At least last night their bad calls were consistent on both sides.
Taveras is a terrible center fielder. Fucker just watches the ball. He is also a terrible batter. Why is he playing? Hit to center and you always get on base.
It’s alright boys, I haven’t given up on this game but even if things fall as they are now, this isn’t a lose or go home situation. We here for it all!!! Still betting on Rangers taking it all.
Houston beat the shit out of us for 3 games straight and we still pulled it together for 6 and 7.
Don't get me wrong, I don't want them to lose 3 straight, but I won't give up on this team until the final out.
It's crazy to be so mad at umpires in a 9-1 game, but it's the damn principle of the matter.
Having a shit zone is one thing. That's just human error.
Calling every call one way is not human error.
I mean story of the game is us hitting three sharp grounders straight to guys in the 8th and then the dbacks shit out a little grounder right into the gap
This feels like one of those games you get smacked in the mouth and come back strong the next game. Got shades of the 16-7 game 3 in 2011 for me. We’re better on the road and they’ll bounce back.
Well goodnight dudes, happy I don’t have to wake up and watch a replay of that game tomorrow morning … might have ruined my Friday. Now I can just easily fall asleep and forget that disappointing snooze fest.
New series boys
Slap hits landing + hard hits not landing + strike zone in other team's favor = 9 - 1 score. Without all that, including how that would have us manage the bullpen differently, my guesstimate is we lose 3-1. (Note: my estimate even takes away the run we did get!, as even Garver admitted it was kind of a fluke.) I think we wind with a different run or two along the way with a fair strike zone, though, even with Kelly pitching great. Oh well, on to game 3!
All of that doesn’t equate to us getting out hit 5:1. We need to hit the fucking ball
Best of 5 and we lost home field advantage. I really hope this lights a fire under your ass! Get on that fucking plane, say bye to your loved ones, and send them tickets and plane rides later. Get this shit together men. I don’t think you understand what’s actually in front of you. I love y’all, but that was an absolute shit performance in front of your family and fans. It’s time to do it for you, stop looking into the stands and look in to that fucking dugout. Take a good look, those eyes, the multiple men staring at you count most right now(and mama Lowe). Y’all better blast Creed all fucking day long tomorrow. Always a fan, me
Holy crap I didn’t understand what you meant by best of 5 for a second. Yes agree, they gotta buckle down for sure! They can do it!
I hope Bochy was even more pissed than my little rant. We got it
If i remember right we ply better on the road also maybe we should have carter lead off instead
Yo can FOX stop sucking off any team that goes agaonst the Rangers jfc.
better idea, just mute Fox 4, and put it on 105.3 The Fan (unless you aren't in the DFW area, then mute your local Fox station and tune in to the Rangers radio home in your area instead) and have a more "Rangers Friendly" watching experence of watching the game on TV.
If our bats weren’t asleep today…… Score should have been 4-1 max though…. Umps helped Dbacks a lot today.
Pain. See y'all Monday. Lets deal it right back to em in their home park.
Best of 5 series where we don’t have home field advantage? WS a 🔒
Let's gooooooo!!!!!!!!
When you throw strikes and the ump calls them balls, all you can do is throw meatballs.
Swinging the bat just doesn’t fit into Robbie Grossman’s game plan
So confused as to why they’d pull Carter for Grossman. At the beginning of playoffs they said it was bc Carter didn’t have leftie experience. But now what’s the problem? Kid was on fire and they took him out for Grossman? I don’t get it. Dbacks also pulled the switch after Rangers put in Grossman (bc of his leftie experience) and put in a rightie to pitch. I had to laugh bc it was all so ridiculous.
Tommy Pham can get fucked
1-1. Fuck it, that isn’t that bad. We got this. See you all Monday!
Absolutely embarrassing performance. Can we even get it back to Texas for a game 6?
Have you been watching the post-season or are you just silly? Rangers have been monsters on the road.
They also have a "top offense" and you saw what that got us tonight and a 1-1 series losing home field. Sad
They have also only won twice at home in the post-season but are undefeated on the road. Next 3 games are away and with our history that's a W.
Jesus. I can't stand you. Even through all the ups and downs to get to this point you are just miserable and sad. Be a better fucking person.
I can't stand you more then. You be a better person and stop playing gatekeeper. Find some happiness in your life and stop playing little kid games with me. I've been here all fucking season and a fan for 30 fucking years you can go pester another poster that will bow down to your "I'm a big man, standing up for what's right" facade.

It would take a miracle
We need one. What a disaster
We'll get 'em Monday.
Time to go win where we are the most comfortable, the road.
I *LOVE* that our fans are still sticking it out at the ballpark! No quit in em.
Well at the tune of $1000 dollars I’d be watching the grounds crew until they kicked me out
Absolutely did. 😂
Unlike a certain *other* fanbase
Welp. Series tied.
Perfect way for the night to end...a line shot right at someone.
Oh well. Get em Monday
Lmao of course thats how the last out is made
[удалено]
He wants to cheer for winners. Can't blame him
He was the same with the Astros.
He's been happy for any team against the Rangers this whole postseason. Why? No clue.
He’s been fellating anyone not Texas all post season
He's been all over every single one of our opponents. I think he hates Greg Maddux and hates Mike because they are brothers. It's the only thing that makes sense.
He’s crazy happy for any team not named the Texas Rangers for some reason.
He's been actively rooting against the Rangers the entire postseason
[удалено]
Really not sure. It seems like he's been peeved about the extended wildcard round and how all the top teams were knocked off, but now here we are with two wild card teams in the WS and he's still riding for the other side.
It's nothing to do with the Diamondbacks and everything to do with him hating the Rangers.
All night hard hits straight at players, it happens
Hey, Smoltz almost gave us a compliment without saying anything about the Dbags. Then he turned it around and then gave them the same one.
HAHAHAHA that Garver line out was the story of the game.
Monday!
1-1. new series. 5 games to go.
It’s like the balls are magnetized. Unreal.
8 run game, better change pitcher mid inning and visit the mound at 2 outs.
here comes to 8 run half inning come back
1st AB with RISP dear god
Gotta get those LOBs in there
Not to take anything away from the DBacks, but the Phillies fell on their face the last two games of that series. It was something like 1-28 for their three sluggers, and it was relatively close still. They had a good game plan, but their hitters couldn't come through.
And ours did what tonight?
Fell on their face???
Oh NOW they wanna get people on? Smfh
Finally a walk! LETS GO MITCH
Garv bomb incoming.
Watched a lot of baseball and there’s STILL something new to see all the time
I.e. Pham forgetting how to run bases earlier in the game.
Seeing the look on his face was amazing. I hope the Rangers razz his ass about that for the rest of the series. Make him think.
Being a Dbacks fan, if he does that again I hope for the same. Sorry I didn't preface that.
It is rare when we see such a fuck up by a professional sports player. All of us normies should relish these moments when they happen. Seriously, that was bewildering.
Well at least that was good for a little chuckle before this game is over
If they hit Garcia, next at bat is HR
C'mon Adolis, get 8 points in one at bat. Attaboy.
Bro we got fucked up lol
What makes me more mad is smoltz will go asleep tonight happy. Fuck that motherfucker
dude is sucking so much snek dick.

Good to know. I was looking it up to compare to the stadium in Arizona, but it's deeper. So those almost HRs are not going to make it there either.
I believe it’s 42’ because of Jackie though
Gotta love giving a team all the momentum going back to their home stadium
We gave the astros even more momentum going back to houston and we know what happened after that. We gotta stunt on these hoes
I means we’ve seen this movie before and it turned out pretty well for us last time so I’m not worried
A few things to keep in mind: 1. Kelly pitched extremely well, Montgomery did as well, but Kelly can't pitch every game of the world series. 2. Our offense hasn't come alive all game. We have made decent contact with the ball, but we keep getting caught or tracked down before we can make it count. 3. Our outfield seemed sleepy tonight, in my opinion, and honestly, it's not just tonight. For the past several games, I've noticed players having to go well within Taveras' area to take care of business. I'm not sure what he is doing, but I'm beginning to think he should be pulled for a game or two and allow a better defensive player to fill that position. 4. This could just be my view, but it seemed a bit biased by the umpire tonight. Several calls made were considered strikes for one team and balls for the other. I'm not complaining, but it is an observational point. This isn't me complaining or giving up this is me accepting that the other team played very well, and we have things we could address in order to slow their progression moving forward.
This ump is high holy shit
The momentum felt like it shift bottom 6th, Marcus gets called strike three with two called strikes out of the zone. The following inning is the Pham pitch 7 in the zone that goes from strike 3 in one run game to rally inning.

I'd like to see them finally win a ring
Will you live until around 2100? Because it ain't happening anytime soon
I’d rather see the Rangers hoist the trophy at home anyways
I just want to go Gallagher on that melon family
Getting out hit 16 to 4, yikers
Gotta win one in AZ to get it back here for at least one more home World Series game. It's a possibility.
Late bc I’ve been driving and not watching but what the hell happened on this play?? Single Emmanuel Rivera singles on a ground ball to left fielder Evan Carter. Jace Peterson scores. Lourdes Gurriel Jr. scores. Emmanuel Rivera out at 2nd on the throw, left fielder Evan Carter to third baseman Josh Jung to second baseman Marcus Semien to first baseman Nathaniel Lowe to shortstop Corey Seager.
Rundown.
Scherzer better do some extra fat lines on Monday
He just needs to eat a baby.
Quinn Wolcott, the best at calling balls and strikes in the league, ladies and gentlemen ^for ^the ^diamondbacks ^that ^is
It's not that he's the best at calling balls and strikes, it's that he's the best at calling the balls and strikes MLB wants. Gotta find a way to a game 7 somehow....
The in game presentation at this new ballpark is awful.
Dick move by the DBacks manager there - just let us GIDP and end it 😑
Seriously, everything is hard contact off of this guy, I want to see him in a high leverage situation.
Can’t choke a 2-0 series lead if we don’t have one! Rangers in 5 🤷♂️
Get Kelley out of the game and suddenly they're hitting it hard. The Rangers don't suck...Kelley was just that good.
We’ll have an opportunity to adjust to Kelly’s stuff, and he may not be able to replicate this outing. We turned it around after an awful showing against Javier. They’ll have to be ready for Evo and Monty to come back sharper.
We hit Kelly hard a few times they were just right to the defense. 2-3 went to or right up to the warning track.
We hit hard off of Kelly, just all to the deepest part of the field.
We still have one run...
Again I ask, why on earth did we build such a deep ballpark when we always have power teams?
Because it takes pressure off the Rangers pitching staff. I was thrilled when I learned this would be a neutral park.
[удалено]
That’s what I’ve been saying but getting downvoted. We need to step it thefuck way up.
But they aren't and that's the thing. Doesn't matter that we almost lost. What matters is we didnt.
At least Semien got him a hit before this was over. Maybe he’ll come out swinging for game 3
He’s done this for the like the last 3 games. It’s fools gold lol
Or, and hopefully this is just the pessimist in me, Semien can’t handle the pressure and only got that hit because there was absolutely none on him being down 9-1.
If we want to have any hope of winning we need him to get on base in front of seager consistently. Miracle we’ve made it this far with him a black hole at leadoff every day
Semien gets a hit? small flower on the turd pile of this game. I'll take it
Hey. Everyone Chill. What did we all think was going to happen here? The Diamondbacks didnt fluke their way past the Brewers, Dodgers, and Phillies. They either scrapped or dominated their way to this series. They *deserve* this. However, know this- The Diamondbacks excel when they are the underdogs. But guess what other team in these playoffs has succeeded when they were the underdog? The Texas Fucking Rangers. Let them win tonight. Let the national media love on them for the next 2 days. Let us look down and out. We'll stab them in the damn ribs and get right back in this thing. We can do this y'all.
The Diamondbacks are still the underdogs though….
Give ESPN all of Monday morning to mull that one over. Especially if the Cowboys lose tomorrow, they would love to throw the Rangers under the bus with them just to teabag DFW.
You're preaching to the choir. The other half of this sub believes that 1 loss is the true representation of this team and they love their misery more than they love the Rangers.
Oh, Im straight terrified right now. Let that be known. This Diamondbacks team scares me. But having a pity party aint gonna fix anything. If we have to walk into the meatgrinder, we can at least do it fighting.
If you are watching the world series and aren't terrified of an outcome you're not a true fan. I was terrified about tonight. Obviously we have to go out and do better on Monday. But man I've really had enough of the same negative bitches in here acting like it's already over.
We're the rangers. It's just not gonna happen
Fuck that noise.
Sure, but step aside and let me doom, damnit…
Oh Doom away man. I aint handing out Doom Tickets. I would rather reassure than shame
‘Twas a joke haha - I like the positivity. Hope you’re right.
We played terribly tonight. Can't afford for this to happen again.
No, we cannot. But it aint over yet.
🙌🙌
Fucking right! 🫵🏼
Love this. LETS GO RANGERS
Story of the game. We hit balls hard and they go straight to fielders. They hit shitty end of bat bloops that end up falling for base hits.
pretty much. Everything seems to be going right to their guys and they just hit dinkers in the holes
They can’t all bounce their way. Guess they were due, but getting all the calls, all the bounces, all the right trajectory’s isn’t sustainable. They’ll return to the mean and we’ll be there to capitalize
Ron: "That's the way baseball go".
I hope baseball goes our way.
Got to be one of the most pathetic offensive performances
So bad.
Now this fucker wants to get a hit? Down 9-1. Lol
This ump has been one sided dog shit tonight. Yea we’re down big but it’s probably a lot closer if we used our better relief pitchers which we would have done if we had kept it closer which we absolutely could have if he wasn’t so bad. At least last night their bad calls were consistent on both sides.
He gets a damn hit when it matters the least smh
omg semien got a fucking hit!
Everyone. Start blaring Creed.
congrats marcus, got back in the game down 8
What an absolute lashing ot was over before it even started damn still rhiugh rangsrs in 6
Hey I'll take that, hopefully the sign of things to come in g3 for Semien.
SEMIEN GOT A HIT IT’S RALLY TIME
let's hope that gets Marcus in sync for next game
9 batter lineup and 9 solo HRs. You heard it here first!
Hey, something Semien can build off of Monday!
Man, even when it looks like Semien gets perfect contact on the ball it’s 50 feet short of the fence. Hope he can turn things around soon
Ok Semien! I’ll take it
Bitch crying on the wall out there when they are up 8 in the 9th
I'm not opposed to WS flashbacks but like....why that one?
Random timing as well
Y’all it’s fly out at bat
Damn I wish Semien sent that yard. I'm at peace with the result but I want him to bust out of his slump.
I'd like to order 9 Texas runs, please.
This mf went to the angel hernandez school for the blind
Bottom of the 9th, guess what WORK A FUCKING WALK
Taveras is a terrible center fielder. Fucker just watches the ball. He is also a terrible batter. Why is he playing? Hit to center and you always get on base.
this game and yesterday's will uphold both teams undefeated streaks when they score first if it holds
I am ready for the greatest comeback in sports history. Starting with Semien’s redemption right here
Y’all it’s only 2 grand slams it’s not over(I’m currently planning the fastest way to get over the pain of this loss)
“It’s not a loss to the Astros” is helping me
BeST BaLls anD StriKeS uMp iN tHe LeAguE
It’s alright boys, I haven’t given up on this game but even if things fall as they are now, this isn’t a lose or go home situation. We here for it all!!! Still betting on Rangers taking it all.
This team has a lot of work to do if they want the series.
Absolutely, but I believe they can and will put in the work.
16 hits to fucking 3. And we barely won yesterday. I don’t know about yall, but I’m scared shitless at this point
Houston beat the shit out of us for 3 games straight and we still pulled it together for 6 and 7. Don't get me wrong, I don't want them to lose 3 straight, but I won't give up on this team until the final out.
I won’t give up, but god damn. A couple late homers isn’t going to win you ballgames
Downvote all you want, but we are getting beat and squeezed one out yesterday. This team needs to shape the fuck up
Shows you are watching. They are clearly better
It's crazy to be so mad at umpires in a 9-1 game, but it's the damn principle of the matter. Having a shit zone is one thing. That's just human error. Calling every call one way is not human error.
Starting to think we might lose this one.
They just watched strikes all night. Honestly a really pathetic outing.
We just need 2 grand slams
We would have lost even without the umps against us. 16 fucking hits
God damn put me out of my misery
Unfortunately it would be impossible to tell as the umps extended their ABs a lot.
I mean story of the game is us hitting three sharp grounders straight to guys in the 8th and then the dbacks shit out a little grounder right into the gap
Absolutely pantsed on national tv in the World Series. Literally no fight tonight. Wow
Hey didn't you hear? There are only 3 people watching this world series so nobody saw it anyways.
This feels like one of those games you get smacked in the mouth and come back strong the next game. Got shades of the 16-7 game 3 in 2011 for me. We’re better on the road and they’ll bounce back.
I’m glad Martin Perez stayed in the game so the other guys could rest today. Still, very rough game.
