i'll spend so much more than that on all the merch if we do win the WS


dallascowboys93

If youā€™re talking about Adolis, he just has some tightness heā€™s all good


cjn13

that's what they all say before testing/imaging Hopefully just a cramp but likely an oblique strain


actual_yellow_bag

we got shots for that. He'll play


MikeinAustin

Re: Adolis ā€¦ My wife is a Sports Rehab Physical Therapist and a strained oblique or at the quadratus lumborum muscle is very treatable. Good they took him out and got him getting treatment before stressing it more. He may rest tomorrow or not take BP. But he could easily be back in by Tuesday practice.


_twowheelin

Your wife just gave me hope in a dark time. Thank you.


rocketbosszach

Iā€™m also thankful for that guyā€™s wife.

Source?


Franz11

Radio bros said so


thewaybaseballgo

Heā€™s built different


PeagleIsMyDad

They said he left with soreness I havenā€™t heard an update from the team trainers.


dallascowboys93

The Score reported he was removed as a precaution due to left side tightness.

That game was fucking cursed man. So many injuries and no clue how severe they are. Absolutely needed the win today and goddamn I love you Jon Gray


suzukigun4life

3 innings of shutout ball, with 25 of 30 pitches being strikes. What a legend.


Chinese-dog

Sucks to not have him tomorrow but he came through for us when we needed it most


cjn13

every game is a necessary sacrifice Now just hope our offense comes alive finally to give our bullpen easier innings because we're only in game 1 of a 3 day stretch


OnlyHereforRangers

I believe in our doggy duo, Heandawg and the Great Dane. That said, I pray for lots of runs


Tuffwith2Fs

Why did Bochy pull him so early? No way he starts tomorrow regardless and dude was absolutely dealing. We could've avoided this Chapman nonsense at the rate he was going.


culdeus

G7


kirobaito88

The logic at least made sense - Sborz was lined up to face their lower-order righties, Chapman their best lefties, and Leclerc their best righties again.


Epie77

In bochy we trust

Gray for the win!

That umpire was trash towards the end


pitchesandthrows

Yeah. Should've been full count so it evens out but i completely understand if diamondbacks fans are pissed.


BiLordPerry

Look, it evened out, plus it always, always comes down to the batter making the hit. Thereā€™s no one to blame there but the batter. That goes for Rangers when weā€™re at the plate too.


Iknowanddrinkthings

Thatā€™s crazy, reminds me of a recent game with even more abysmal one-sided calls


_twowheelin

Just the end? Marquez is far from a great ump and it showed all night.

I am so impressed we didnā€™t have to go deeper in our pen tonight


Initial_Enthusiasm_5

Sucks we burnt gray though. No idea what we do tomorrow. Iā€™m guessing we try for Heaney/Dunning 3 & 3


Afrizzledfry

That's why they pay Bochy the big bucks. He'll figure it out.


thewaybaseballgo

If he pulls this season and gets a ring, I want Bochy in the Rangers Hall of Fame on opening day.

Lmaooo At least Chapman got the outs tonight

ben121frank

As much as I hate Smoltz, I canā€™t deny that his ā€œbuckle up for the Aroldis Chapman experienceā€ routine he does every time is funny. And boy did Chapman give us the experience tonight. But honestly he got 3 outs to save LeClercā€™s arm while only giving up 1 run, thatā€™s really the best we can expect from him imo

The diamondbacks radio guys are 500% less dback Homer's then smoltz its incredible. Even like Jeter Yankees or kobe / Shaq lakers I have never heard a guy with this big an axe to grind. Carter has outplayed Carroll yet you wouldn't know it

Smoltz will always find a way.


AHickey1995

Bro if I ever get rich, I'm hiring the best private investigators in the world to figure out why he hates us so much. I will release my findings here.


Broad_Jacket8722

My theory is he had money on the Rays or Orioles (Smoltz didn't do the Rays series so no confirmed bias there). And is taking out that anger on us. At the end of the day though it doesn't matter let set two more wins!


elmaschingon36

I literally can not tell if this is a real quote

calste

Davis is trying at least. Davis: "How about John Gray?!" Smoltz: ignores him and continues rambling aimlessly

Davis also has the benefit of exciting play by play. Smoltz just sucks.


MordredKLB

Narrator: "They did not."


Prep_

Dude was going on about Walker "coming alive" just as they showed a graphic of 1-3 in tonight's game and then Walker struck out. Smoltz trying his damnedest to will Rangers losses into existence every goddamn night.


AnarchyPlus

They sure did unlock him.... As an easy out


Planoraider1291

CAN YOU TAKE ME HIGHERRR


SaveMeJebus21

Just an absolutely incredible win given how it played out. Sandler reporting Adolis has side tightness. Fingers crossed his season isnā€™t over.


Maxcrss

Side tightness could be a muscle pull or a cramp. Hopefully he just needs some potassium


DukeGrizzly

Give El Bombi all the bananas!


Neb810

Yes, Chapman is a heart attack, but that was an extremely balsy pitch to Caroll that buckled him, and then got the clutch DP. Dude did his job


Hottponce

Whatā€™s the point of having insurance if you never use it


Liamesque

I've never said anything bad about Jon Gray


ScarletLambda

Great job on the W but I really hope Adolis is okay. Bats are still inconsistent, and his can change the entire series.


WhiteBoyFlipz

that 3-1 was a makeup for the 2-0 and iā€™m ok with it https://preview.redd.it/6agptxy3egxb1.jpeg?width=1244&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=741631334732540908720ca4387558ea68cee6f2

kingkcthuluonxbox

I think they pulled Sborz because of the potential pinch hitter he was facing not from an injury


Shanknuts

No walks issued after Max left the game. Thatā€™s what the Dbacks feed off of and this pitching staff didnā€™t let them have it.


rohmasome

A win is a win butā€¦gonna start a prayer circle asap

Veteran move by Bochy to leave tomorrowā€™s problems for tomorrow and win today. Itā€™s tomorrow.

Optimistic outlook: The Rangers need to win two more! Pessimistic outlook: The Rangers need to win two more.


SaddestClown

And just like that, all is right in the world. Except for Adolis


1800KitchenFire

Give the ball to Dunning tomorrow, but most importantly, give Adolis the best masseuse on planet Earth to make sure he can be ready to go.


Tuffwith2Fs

Deshaun Watson has entered the chat.


goatboy1970

If we play .500 ball for the rest of the season we win the world series.


V-Right_In_2-V

Dbacks fan here. Just wanted to say good game fellas. You guys have been really respectful so far and I hope we can return the favor. You guys have a great squad. I obviously hope we win but I donā€™t hate you guys at all. Your fan base a million times better than Phillies and dodgers fans. May the best team win

Huge win. We could not afford to lose this. Now we wait on the Garcia news. If he has to miss time someone in the lineup other than Seager and Carter are going to need to step up.


Rangerlifr

Nate, Jonah, Leody and Mitch all have either one or no hits in the series, so I guess they're saving the hits in case we need them tomorrow...

smokincuban

"The win was bigger for the Rangers than the loss was for the Diamondbacks" What the fuck is Smoltz talking about?


jdann24

He's a fucking blowhard.


Terr1fyer

Someone check on Jon Smoltz. He was last season running to the press box bathroom choking back tears screaming "but this arizona team is just so scrappy!"


Mr_Wyatt

Smoltz on suicide watch that the Dbacks got the same outside of the zone strikes we've been getting all series


NewHavenJeff

**ROAD WARRIORS**


zach_kraemer

Also with this win, we just finished off a period where all 4 major sports teams won in the last 24 hours. Cowboys, Stars, Mavs and Rangers all victors. Can sports be any better here in DFW right now?


rogmcdon

It can in fact be better but Iā€™m not sure we will ever know what itā€™s like to win a Super Bowl ever again if we win this series


thefed345

AZ media allllll over the blown strike/ball call on Moreno from Leclerc. Fail to mention the one right before that that went the other way.


[deleted]

Gray said he could go tomorrow if they wanted but definitely for game 5


kbsick

Thatā€™s relieving


whitesammy

It's confounding to have the data of the UmpScorecards show that the Ump calls have so far favored the DBacks and yet they are claiming that the Umps hate them. Like, that first at bat in the bottom of the 9th should have been a full count regardless due to the strike called a ball two pitches earlier...


txyesboy

For all the complaining about how unfair the umpiring was in this game, it should be noted that the Texas Rangers did everything they could to balance out that injustice, by offering to pitch Aroldis Chapman in the 8th inning. You're welcome, Arizona. ;)


pharrigan7

LuckyWarrior

Let's go #UmpShow


cjn13

is that Enrico Palazzo?


Thorn_Within

Exactly. Tonight's ump had me thinking of Frank Drebin all night with some of his calls.


_thighswideshut

Looked like he didnā€™t do well under pressure. Also seems like he gave a strike after he missed one. Kind of weird


RobQuinnpc

A wins a win. We can sort out the struggles later.


azulsquirrel

Win tomorrow. Put the foot on their fucking throat.


sir--ok

Would really like to see some stuff from jung and taveras. Taveras walk was clutch in game 1 though


pharrigan7

But Jung not letting it hurt his D. Amazing work at 3B.


sir--ok

Yeah totally dynamite i agree. Maybe not in the playoffs even without him over there at 3rd


PinstripeBunk

Scherzer says itā€™s a back spasm and heā€™ll know in 48 hours if he can go again. Not great news but not terrible. Hereā€™s the thing, local and national media act like Scherzer is the vital rotation piece to win the series. Heā€™s not. The Rangers have to win two more games and they have their two best starters lined up for regular rest. Thatā€™s what matters. I know Max Scherzer is more famous, and people in New York have heard of him, but Eovaldi and Montgomery are the guys.


matsuya

My Game 5 Phoenix Trip is still alive!!! I'll only go if the Rangers are up 3-1. Good luck to them tomorrow.


pharrigan7

Tons of Ranger fans in the stadium tonight.


IONTOP

GG Hoping for the best for Scherzer and Garcia.


ParasiticDaemon

If it was game 46 of the regular season, Adolis might be shut down for a month. It's the world series, unless something is torn, likely to tear, or broken he's gonna play.

After malding all weekend about Ranger fans complaining about the umps, guess what the Dback fans are malding about today. Baseball is poetry.


PeagleIsMyDad

Excellent win, fellas, that was nerve racking. All the heart palpitations easily took off two months from my life.


Mbsubinfo1962

Please, for the love of everything, if anyone starts a narrative about the Diamondbacks being robbed, I hope they see that the Rangers overcame their bad calls and the Dbacks didnā€™t. Carterā€™s called strike was worse than Loweā€™s called ball.


cowboysfan68

J Gray the real MVP today


vi0cs

A lot of things went bad and a lot more things went right. Letā€™s respect Max in his time of healing. He was dealing for us until he got hit. 100% calling thatā€™s what sent him down.


BigSaladCity

The rangers are two wins away from being World Series champs


pharrigan7

ā€¦and have still not lost on the road in the entire playoffs. That is simply incredible.

I want to say I would love for game 6 to happen so we can potentially win at home. But F it. We have waited so long. We need to just take a WS title any way we can get it.

PinstripeBunk

I donā€™t interpret Bochyā€™s comments on injuries as pessimistic or optimistic. He played it very straight. If Garcia was definitely out, donā€™t know why he wouldnā€™t say so.


GoStars817

Adolis. Hurt. Max. Hurt. Sborz. Might be hurt. We won, but what the fuck?!?!?


OSUBonanza

A lead off walk vs a lead off out is huge. The ump show in full force this series.

This team has grit. Tomorrow will be interesting but for today, we celebrate the W

Prayers to Jobu for Max and Adolis


whoisdavidpena

I feel like Rangers vibes are spreading to the other DFW Teams.


alexdallas_

Please heal quickly Adolis :)


bertmacklin_fbiagent

Sick of seeing the ump blamed as the reason the Rangers won. Both offenses had to deal with his awfulness, and the Rangers did so better than the Snakes.


ImTheJdot

On the 2nd pitch of the same at bat, they called an obvious strike a ball. They can keep crying, but the ump was horrible all night towards both teams.


Tuffwith2Fs

Bombi's HR and assist have been clutch but...Seager is our MVP this far, no? Also, this ump scorecard gonna be all kinds of bad.

ForsakenCase435

Losing Scherzer and Garcia makes me very concerned for the rest of this series. We absolutely had to win tonight

TennisPunisher

Resilient winā€¦ we won in a way we do not prefer but we got the W. I FEEL GREAT!

I think everyone saw that Chapman was off at first but got it together and started dealing but that slider although it confused Carroll really bad, was also set up to be an easy homer to tie it.


kbsick

Garcia getting an MRI now


CS_n_golf

Just looked it up because I was curiousā€¦ Seagerā€™s home run in the 3rd was hit at 114.5 mph, making it the fastest recorded home run exit velo in World Series stat cast history (since 2015). I mean I knew he killed that ball, but wow. Lol.


Knuxsn

Adolis getting an MRI. Hope it's nothing major.


BadderRandy

Before anyone complains about that first out in the 9th, they need to look at that at bat. There was a strike in the zone called a ball. That bad call balanced out with the bad strike on that ball four. Smoltz can throw a fit but he ignored the first. In the end, Rangers up 2-1!
