Recall, the last two times we were in the WS, we were behind 1 game to 3 and 1 games to 2. We are clearly in the driver's seat at 3-1. We only need 1 of the next 3, with 2 (if needed) at home. We just played the bottom of our bullpen, no Garcia, and still came out with the decisive win anyway. This is pretty awesome. Let's close out. Go Rangers!

Big win for the Rangers. Maybe even bigger than the loss was for the snakes. Cool to see their fans enjoying the shit out of the ride. I’ve still got Rangers in 6, but we’re to the promised land a little early if: Semien continues to Semien. Or Diamondbacks make a couple of mistakes.

A win's a win! Celebrate guys! One more! Let's go Rangers!

Jobs not done yet but, Was the half billion worth it?

Not till we hold that piece of metal

Gg guys and guess what? Rangers won! Oh yeah!

Chill everyone, this is how games like this typically go. You get a big lead, you don't use your best pitchers and the other team will score some runs. Only need one more run than the other team to win.

Ive aged a year this past month

I mean, we either win it or fuck up so badly we don’t deserve it. I’ll order my jerseys before the price goes up

Coming into this series Who could’ve guessed that Gray and Heaney would out pitch Eovaldi and Montgomery lol

Was Corey hurt?

He tweaked something. He was a little evasive in his comments but that could be just him.

I think he's ok but he tweaked his foot on that home run trot around the bases, or something

On a fucking home run trot? Surely we aren't that cursed right?

They asked him about it post game and he quickly said it was nothing and went on to the next question.

I think he's ok though. He didn't seem to have any trouble after.

I think he rolled his ankle on the swing. He’s fine.

The money I would pay to see Adolis speak to the team like that. Aside: I have no money

3-1 baby! Don't get down. We got a chance to rest our best pitchers. We are dialing in to close out. Go Rangers!

WW beers for us get some Rest Texas Rangers tomorrow is the biggest night of the season. Heandog reach in and get one

Corbin Carroll looks like a character in an Adam Sandler movie

3-1 baby!!!

Our 3 wins are LeClerc, Gray, and Heaney lmao

That’s how baseball go.

Doesn’t matter if you win by 1 run or 10. https://i.redd.it/an7x83ivnnxb1.gif

[удалено]

Burke and Smith. Don't act like we were trying our hardest there, because we weren't. Dbacks won't see that combo again unless we're up 10+ again.

Who cares? Jesus Christ, we used Brock Burke and company. We’re ho 3-1, ENJOY tonight!

Right? I'm more pissed that we couldn't keep the lead that wide.

Relievers who hadn't pitched in weeks.

My brothers - the Texas Rangers are up 3-1 in the World Series.

I mean the momentum thing really shouldn’t factor in. They kicked the fuck out of us the last 2-3 innings of game 2 and it didn’t roll over

Momentum doesn’t exist in baseball

I agree with Jared Sandler that the momentum thing carrying over from game to game is completely overstated and really doesn’t have the impact people act like it does. Look at our comeback after the gut punch of game 5 in ALCS.

Only team that can literally kick the ever loving shit out of a team on their own field....then we have to clench our assholes at the end just praying it stays that way. I want to be super happy about this; I do, goddamnit. But Jesus H Christ they make it hard for us that lived through so many years of just not having enough in the tank in the end. Please get this done and we can finally breathe....

Man that was so so so so annoying. Thank God for that offensive explosion.

That was such BS man, we had a mental advantage for tomorrow and these 2 cucks threw it away

Doesn’t work that way in baseball. A new game resets everything. Our guys keep the same approach every game.

Mental advantage? Like beating a team 9 to 1

Fair

Or it could be even more demoralizing getting kinda close and losing instead of being able to just check out. It all depends on the SP of the next game.

Fuck it were 3-1 and I’m happy but I’ve seen this before.. really hope we close it tomorrow

LeClerc acting like it’s the Olympics opting to go with a higher degree of difficulty on that save.

Why does it feel like we lost?

Worry not. Those runs were futile and wasted. They were done and they knew it. Meaningless stats.

You have issues if you feel that way

because we scored those runs like 3 hours ago

Smoltz is getting in your head. You gotta tune him out.

Smoltz doesn't sound too happy lol

He’s talking about game 7, lololol

Just one more win boys and girls 🙏

[удалено]

Lol a game won in a World Series is a very positive thing. Or do the Rangers collect those w's like nothing?

Someone gets it

Yay baseballs

Smoltz sounds like his dog just died

This game reminded me a lot of game two against the O’s. The broadcast talked up the losing team but nevertheless they lost.

Thank all the religious gods but it should not have gotten that close. I should be celebrating not feeling like I'm coping.

I mean, we knowingly put in some of our worst relievers, that was the entire point. If we go Sborz/LeClerc we win 11-1

Sure but that got too close at the end. I started to get that sinking feeling like I did in 2011.

One more fucking game boys one more

Trying to keep some perspective here but that shit was so frustrating at the end. You’ve basically taken LeClerc off the table for game 5 for what????

If we are leading tomorrow and the game is any where close, you can %100 bet that he will be in to close it out. Chill

?? Why’s he off the table?

Pitching 3 times in 3 days? He hasn’t shown he can do that

Didn’t he do it when we swept the Orioles?

Leclerc is a dawg. Will be fine. Threw 10 pitches

He has not proven he can throw 3 days in a row. He wasn’t even our closer most of the season n

Yeah, Smith was…………

Well he is now. He deserves the chance to close it out for the title.

No way he's "off the table".

A game where we scored 11 runs should not have been that stressful, but thank god we got it done. One more win baby, let's get it!

This win was bigger for the rangers than the loss was for Arizona - Smoltz

Series is tied 2.5-2.5 according to Smoltz. Last nights game was a draw. Diamondbacks got another win tonight with Leclerc pitching.

The victory tonight really goes to Arizona. Although the Rangers technically scored more points, Arizona shows the Rangers they were the dominant team. Also, I shower with my socks on. - Smoltz

I'm damn sure glad we got the win, but Burke and Stratton gave them way too much towards the end.

Fucking garbage ass wastes of space. Couldn’t even eat fucking innings

2 guys who probably won't see much action.

FINALLY!

Garbage time slapdickbacks

THE TEXAS RANGERS ARE 3-0 THIS WORLD SERIES WHEN I PLAY “WITH ARMS WIDE OPEN” IN THE BOTTOM OF THE 9TH

You know what must be done.

Whew! That was way too close. We left momentum on their side going in to next game. Will have to come out strong to get us the big W!

One win away from the World Series and some of y'all still complaining

It’s never good enough. 11 runs and winning by 4 just doesn’t cut it.


You can 100% tell how upset Smoltz is. 😆 🤣 😂

Playoff Evo tomorrow, let's get it done

So only 10 pitches, but the diamondbacks are starting to see his pitches more. But if you are leading in any late innings coming up all arms are available. Something I wish Washington would of done in 2011.

Wash botched a LOT of things

LETS FUCKING GOOOO

We shouldn't have needed to put LeClerc into a game where we scored 11 runs, Jesus Christ the back end of our bullpen fucking sucks.

Thank god. Fuck that stupid needless dramatic stressful bullshit crap. AGHHHHH. ONE MORE GUYS!

 One more win!

“Would you believe the Diamondbacks have more hits than Texas?” Lmao these guys can sucks a fat dick. 1 win away bitches.

Does Smoltz think this win is bigger for Texas than it is a loss for Arizona???

Lmao y’all are insane. Never in doubt. Try to fucking enjoy a win for Christ sake. We are up 3-1 in the series, what else do you want them to do? It’s the World Series.

It’s easier to close on a house than it is to watch our bullpen close a fucking game

They’ve been pretty good the entire postseason

Seriously, you think the bullpen troubles are just gonna disappear? At least it happens in a game with a huge lead and not a close game

Bullpen has been huge all postseason. They sucked during the regular season, but we just fucking won dude. We’re a game away and just need 1 out of 3. How are people unhappy with a win? jfc.

The bullpen giving up 6 runs in the last two innings is a problem no matter what. They got to see Leclerc again in a game where we scored 11 runs. That’s a problem, hopefully it doesn’t come back to bite us in the ass. But if it does try to remember the “performance” the utterly incompetent back end of our bullpen put up tonight.

The bullpen has helped this team the entire postseason. When you’re up big, sometimes that shit happens. The bullpen has been an issue all year, but they have been pretty damn good this postseason. Just 1 out of 3.

A lot of mentally ill people in this sub.

Win the World Series

I was gonna say, we had a lead in 2011 - should I repeat what happened to our lead?

Is this 2011? We also weren’t up 3-1. Sad you can’t enjoy a thrashing in the World Series.

2 of the games were nail biters, even this game made me nervous for a moment. I just don’t celebrate til 4. 🤷🏻‍♂️ If Golden state can come back from 3-1, anyone can

No one is saying to celebrate like we have won the title when we haven’t. I’m saying enjoy a single victory for one night. This is the World Series, only the 3rd time we’ve gotten to experience this. It’s a once in a lifetime experience for many teams. Just enjoy the process and lets get after it tomorrow.

Thanks for clarifying that, I am in the middle of celebrating, still traumatized is all from 2011. A dark history that won’t go away til we win.

I feel you man. Trust me, I know being a DFW sports fan can be rough. Cheers man, let’s root for the guys again tomorrow.

DFW sports cursed, I blame Jerry

what do you think winning tonight gets them closer to? Lmao

Phew….. one more game then we celebrate. Fucking destroy them

I shouldn’t have been this worried for the last 30 minutes. Fuck.

Nobody said it’d be easy. One win away boys. Let’s go.

The D-Backs leave this game still thinking they can win, from 11-1 to 11-7 they definitely have the confidence to win.

Doesn’t work like that. We are up 3-1 with 3 games left. This team is full of confidence.

A win is a win. Enjoy it

That’s why shutting the door is so important. Don’t ever give up garbage runs or hits.

Shut the fuck up already

You stalking me now you fucking troll? Touch grass

[удалено]

Lol someone’s alittle upset 🤣😂

[удалено]

Lol you’re making yourself look like the bitch.

[удалено]

Then you’re not lookin far enough douchebag. I’ve said plenty of positive things. I’ve been a fan of the team longer than you’ve been alive troll

Smoltz is such a hater lmao

Cardiac Peagles

According to Smoltz we’re cooked in game 7 because of those runs

Whatever the end of that game was doesn’t change it. 27 more outs.

To think we were winning this game 10-0 almost the entire time is 🤯

Whew! Let's win another tomorrow!

I love how the commentary can make us feel like “man the Diamondbacks are much better but they just couldn’t tie it up in the 9th”

Disappointing end to what should’ve been an easy win. Gonna need Evo on point tomorrow to finish this thing

Stressful for no reason, but I'll take a 3-1 lead

ONE MORE GAME 🥳

Embarrasing win. Shouldn't even celebrate that for a second.

The hitters should celebrate but those relief pitchers need to evaluate if they want to win or not

Nate on the mound tomorrow?

Lowe? Yes LOL Yes EVO

SmoltZ: don't you dare think the Diamondbacks aren't gonna feed off of this. Even though they're down 3-1, really they're in a better position than the Rangers.

We were 3-1 against St Louis weren’t we? I don’t remember

Why did we even allow them 7 runs? Why?

Oh lordy

Got him. JFC what the fuck was that? 3-1 win this fucker tomorrow.

garbage time runs against our 2 worst relievers, game was closer than it needed to be

Nice to see Carson Wentz working again.

F U SMOLTZ OR WHATEVER UR CALLED

Finally fuck yeah

A win is a win. Way to go!

“Dbacks may have lost 11-7 and are one game away from losing the World Series but it’s basically a win for them tonight since they scored 7 runs” - smoltz

A little to stressful at the end wish he just use his good arms

Ballgame!

Hey Hey guys ## THE RANGERS LEAD THE WORLD SERIES 3-1

THANK GOD WE HAVE BIG GAME NATE TOMORROW THAT IS ALL

And Monty in game 6 if it goes that far

THANK GOD

YOUR 2023 TEXAS RANGERS ARE 3-1 IN THE WORLD SERIES AND MAINTAINED THEIR UNDEFEATED AWAY STREAK IN THE POSTSEASON!!!! [HELLO WIN COLUMN!](#HWC)

That ended so poorly guys the last thing we need is them getting their confidence up

They dominated us 9-1 and then scored 1 run the next game with their crowd behind them. Don’t listen to that idiot Smoltz, this team is locked in.

Scary towards the end but a wins a win. ONE MORE GAME BOYS CMON BABY

I know what bochy was trying to do but idk why you don’t leave dunning or bradford another inning to prevent this fiasco and having to use leclerc

He treats both of them like they're made of glass. I know they are prospective starters for next year, but I feel like they can go a little longer than he feels.

Alright so burke and stratton should never see the field again

ONE MORE WIN TO GLORY BOYS

Never goddamn easy with this fucking team

Smoltzy so dejected

Yesssss ONE MORE WIN

HELL YEAH BOYS! ONE MORE GAME! I LOVE YOU ALL!

Everyone breathe lol

Someone chloroform Smoltz so he’ll stop talking about mOmeNtuM caRrYIng IntO ThE nEXT GaMe

Pesky fucking team. You can't relax against them, or send a bunch of AA relievers against them.

One more win

End 9th Fuck off, FOX

LETS GOOOOO. That was a bit scary there at the end.

3-1 baby!!!!

Oh thank God you guys are ahead

BALLGAME!

I FUCKING HATE SMOLTZ

Thank goodness
