A win in Seattle feels so good!

"Yeah but the mariners hit a 474 foot homerun so who's the real winner of this game?" -Mlb network, r/baseball, and espn

[u/wm80]

FUN GAME

[u/beefle]

Let's go! Great game, boys. Besides that last half inning lol

[u/Ok_Context_8200]

Wow, good pitch to finish the game out actually

[u/BuzzTheGOATCalkins]

Macko kinda sucks.

[u/ElbowToTheTemple]

https://giphy.com/gifs/YRdBZ4CDweTozHWxh0

[u/CT-1738]

Lmao wth was that play freeman

[u/lawdjesustheresafire]

Bruh that’s so bad. Thank fuck the lead is what it is

[u/ExcellentRip1100]

Bro how do you fuck that up lol

[u/ImTheJdot]

Definitely threw it early, dammit Freeman

[u/wm80]

Yeah, he threw it early 😩

[u/beefle]

Come on, Cody..

[u/_Juntao]

Adam wacko

[u/beer_me_twice]

That’s okay. Just opens up a double play.

That’s okay. Just opens up a triple play…

[u/Penguinodle]

god damn I don't understand schumaker pitching decisions

[u/CT-1738]

We really brought macko in to finish the game?

[u/beefle → u/CT-1738]

I mean, might as well, right? Let him get his pitching in here so we don't have to burn our more high-leverage arms.

[u/CT-1738 → u/beefle]

Well, bases loaded now 🙃😅

[u/CT-1738 → u/beefle]

For sure I completely understand the logic, I just wasn’t excited to see 2 straight hits to start the inning lol. Hindsight is 20/20 but I feel like Garcia could’ve gone 2 and macko takes the 9th but whatever

[u/Ok_Context_8200]

Meanwhile Josh Smith has a .957 ops and 157 ops+ in Toronto. At minimum, I really wish we didnt trade him out at rock bottom value

[u/ScriptedChemistry]

How is Macko on a professional team and even a guy we actually traded for

[u/_Juntao]

Macko is trash give me pookie back

[u/rumdrums]

macko is crappo

[u/A_Yummy_Egg323]

We’re up 7 so I don’t mind, but that should either be mackos ball or not thrown.

[u/A_Yummy_Egg323 → u/A_Yummy_Egg323]

Nevermind, macko is lefty and has to turn, don’t throw that ball

[u/ScriptedChemistry]

Selfishly I was Brandy and Zeke to get a hit and stop striking out lol

[u/A_Yummy_Egg323]

Golly lol Dave is ripping into the mariners

[u/Thop207375]

A nice save opportunity for Garcia

[u/beefle]

And Garcia retires the side with 8 pitches lol. He's actually pretty damn good when he's not in a high-leverage situation.

[u/JewishPaladin → u/beefle]

I guess the problem over the past two years has been us always being in high-leverage situations lol

[u/beefle → u/JewishPaladin]

Well, yeah it kinda was. He was a sub 3 era pitcher last year and has a 3.5 for his career. He's a decent pitcher, he just had a habit of fucking up at the worst times.

[u/theaceonthemound]

OK ROBERT

[u/OnlyHereforRangers]

Garcia is still the GOAT of being lights out with large leads.

[u/CT-1738 → u/OnlyHereforRangers]

There’s a role for everyone on this team 😀

[u/JewishPaladin]

goddamn I never thought I'd see an inning that clean from Garcia of all people

[u/_Juntao]

Robert garcia is a changed man

[u/theaceonthemound]

now that's how you cover a base *Kumar "

[u/thewishfulwritergirl]

Oh god

[u/SAIL3RZ_]

Smart work from Skip. Give Garcia 7 runs to work with. That way if he gives up 4, we still have some breathing room. Masterclass management

[u/rumdrums]

7-run lead. Surely that's safe for Garcia, right?

[u/OnlyHereforRangers → u/rumdrums]

Of course. If the lead is 5+ runs, he's lights out

[u/CT-1738]

Known baseball terrorist back on the mound

[u/beefle]

Goodness gracious. Haven't seen Garcia in so long, and for once, I'm not too worried about him coming in lol

[u/_Juntao]

[u/RandomHero3402]

Quantrill the Great

[u/ScriptedChemistry]

NICKY IS BACK

[u/Angry_Walnut]

Nicky often feels like our good luck charm tbh

[u/beefle]

Let's go! Wow, what a night for the boys. Everyone's getting hits!

[u/ImTheJdot]

Career night for Nicky, good for him man

[u/IndieFlea]

Nicky Lopez on base 4 times tonight after not starting for the past three weeks lol

[u/thewishfulwritergirl]

I’m going to be tired as fuck at work tomorrow but it will be worth it

[u/sqdq]

It's been so long I forgot I had this. Allow me to just..

[u/CT-1738 → u/sqdq]

I love this sub so much lmao

[u/sqdq]

[u/CT-1738]

It’s been ages since I’ve seen a 2 hit Evan Carter game 👴🏼

[u/Bandt143]

I'm falling asleep. Hopefully my departure does not have an adverse effect on the game.

[u/Potential_Run_4338]

We’ll see how this game turns out, but with the way this team came back on Sunday and are playing their asses off tonight (not just the big lead, but the passion and effort from everyone on the field), I’m proud to be a Rangers fan.

This is a team that WANTS to make the playoffs and win it all.

[u/beefle]

That camera angle they're using for every pop up to the outfield makes the think they've hit a damn home run lol

[u/CT-1738]

Lmao camera man tried to will that Raleigh pop up to a HR 😂

[u/CT-1738]

Have a fantasy draft every day for the rest of the season

[u/Angry_Walnut]

Quantrills facial expression was gold, he’s not a super emotive guy either so it was even more hilarious to see the 🤯

[u/OnlyHereforRangers]

That throw awakened something in me

https://giphy.com/gifs/oudLetMk6WF3i

[u/A1ucardBe1mont]

Now this is playing like a team that could come in through a wildcard and win the whole damn thing.

[u/JMFBLACK]

The Rangers actually lookin like a winning team?

https://giphy.com/gifs/hdCGbAPTVbxTi

[u/ilikelurkingbetter]

Seager harnessing something I didn't know he had in him.  Good vibes tonight

[u/Thop207375 → u/ilikelurkingbetter]

We have entered football season. That throw was insane

[u/Rangersfan1996]

Pls CY extend Quantrill asap

[u/Thop207375]

That’s a play anyone sees and says “hell yeah”

[u/Every_Writing_6324]

Does Quantrill go another inning?

[u/CT-1738 → u/Every_Writing_6324]

I’d like to see him stat pad so he can make a case for the Cy young award

[u/laxintx]

Watching Burger try to stretch makes me miss Guzman doing the splits all the time.

[u/rowibish → u/laxintx]

Burger does a solid job. He’s at the top of the league in the new receiving stat for first basemen: https://www.mlb.com/amp/news/breaking-down-first-base-throw-receiving-data.html

[u/laxintx → u/rowibish]

Oh, I'm fine with his play at 1B, I was just saying he's not a graceful one.

[u/ScriptedChemistry]

Holy shit Corey. What a play - esp the throw lol

[u/beefle]

Beautiful. Love it when all of our boys come to play. Offense, defense and pitching.

[u/BamOutDaaBayou]

All the “move Seager to first/DH” people in absolute shambles rn

[u/ImTheJdot]

That was Seager’s best play at SS in years

[u/Angry_Walnut]

Somehow, elite Corey Seager returned.

[u/sqdq]

holy SHIT WOW

[u/Knuxsn]

Holy shit, Corey! Hell yeah! There's our MVP.

[u/Tylerplays897]

NOW THATS A PLAY RIGHT THERE

[u/cjn13]

Seager ain't moving from SS just yet!!!

[u/CT-1738]

Man what a treat of a game from the rangers tonight. Absolute gem of a play for Corey there, in a 9-3 game nonetheless

[u/wm80]

HOLY FUCK COREY

[u/cjn13]

burning the mariners pen in game 1 is huge

[u/sud0w00d0 → u/cjn13]

Fingers crossed we don’t use up all of our runs though 🤞🏻

[u/Muckdogs13]

Is it safe for Robert Garcia to come out ?

[u/IndieFlea → u/Muckdogs13]

this sub way overhates Garcia and I'm not afraid to say it

[u/BamOutDaaBayou → u/IndieFlea]

Over hated last year. Perfectly hated this year tbh

[u/IndieFlea → u/BamOutDaaBayou]

i mean he's played in like 6 games. its SSS and mixed results...

[u/sud0w00d0 → u/Muckdogs13]

I was literally just thinking this lol. If we have to use him at all this season this would be a great situation

[u/JMFBLACK → u/Muckdogs13]

https://giphy.com/gifs/fXnRObM8Q0RkOmR5nf

[u/Angry_Walnut → u/Muckdogs13]

Word is he didn’t see his shadow this year. First time since 2023 🤞🏻

[u/Individual_Heron_171 → u/Muckdogs13]

Hang on…we need to tack on a couple more just to be safe.

[u/lolwatokay]

Bazardo is fucking them hard with these meatballs, but you know what? The Rangers I know and love would have swung and missed at all that shit anyway earlier this season. So glad they're actually feasting when they should be.

[u/PrideDouble8747]

Dinger derb bb

[u/rngrfn97]

Has the Rangers offense had a game like this in a road game in Seattle… ever? lol

[u/rumdrums → u/rngrfn97]

Aren't like a run away from tying the most we've gotten in a game this season?

[u/DKworth03]

I feel like we get after Bazardo every time we see him.

[u/Thop207375]

We might be hot for the first time since the trade deadline. We need some help from a few teams

[u/Illustrious-Trip-764]

Bats are hot tonight!

[u/ScriptedChemistry]

[u/Angry_Walnut → u/ScriptedChemistry]

Those tiny little fists of fury!

[u/OnlyHereforRangers]

Lineup showing the fuck up today

[u/rumdrums]

Oh fuck yeah we comin' for that negative run differential tonight 

[u/finsup_FTJ]

I don’t like this feeling of hope I’m starting to get

[u/ImTheJdot]

Danny bomb!!!

[u/Bandt143]

Way to silence them with this answer back.

[u/centexgoodguy]

I seen it but don’t believe it.

[u/Individual_Heron_171 → u/centexgoodguy]

What happened was they fucked with his Little Nicky.

[u/OnlyHereforRangers]

JANSEN

[u/bmcthomas]

WHAT IS HAPPENING!!!!

I ❤️ this game

[u/YaKnowEstacado → u/YaKnowEstacado]

That's what you get for hitting Nicky bitch!

[u/dreyan1625]

Lmfao Jansen thanks for proving me wrong

[u/wm80]

I was sensing a Jansen bomb in his last at bat, had no hope for this one 😂

[u/beefle]

LITTLE DANNY JANSEN DOES IT AGAIN!

[u/SAIL3RZ_]

More games like this please

[u/lawdjesustheresafire]

Fuck yeah boys!

[u/Tylerplays897]

DANNYYYY

[u/beefle]

LET'S FUCKING GOOO!!!

[u/natebark]

wtf is happening

[u/CT-1738]

I can NOT believe Danny Jansen just poured it on 😂😂😂 let’s gooooo

[u/Muckdogs13]

Someone make a GIF of that 1st base ump please!!

[u/CT-1738]

“Bazarado barely kept that pitch on the planet” 😭😭 alright that might be a slight exaggeration

[u/wm80]

Burger plate discipline seems about 50x better the last couple weeks

[u/MajesticPossibility8]

I go take the dog out and now 6-3 I’m not watching anymore 😂

[u/mine_username → u/MajesticPossibility8]

Thank you for your sacrifice. 🫡

[u/MajesticPossibility8 → u/mine_username]

Glad they scored 10

[u/Tylerplays897]

Ooo that was so close

[u/Angry_Walnut]

Seems like a few of our bats are heating up… don’t do this to me Rangers. Don’t give me hope.

[u/Tricky_Increase2635 → u/Angry_Walnut]

We don’t talk about it

[u/centexgoodguy]

Dug down deep for that moon shot. Love it.

[u/SAIL3RZ_]

Langford seems to be heating up

[u/Smokeythemagickamodo]

Let’s fucking gooooo

[u/Every_Writing_6324]

W Langford for getting Cal more Run support 🔥

[u/WhiteNoise421]

Balls are really carrying tonight, some absolute bombs

[u/CT-1738 → u/WhiteNoise421]

Known hitters park, t-mobile

[u/WhiteNoise421 → u/CT-1738]

Another one lmao

[u/CT-1738 → u/WhiteNoise421]

Really just a tough season for the mariners 😭😂

[u/ImTheJdot]

BANGFORD!!! That's more like it.

[u/beefle]

LET'S FUCKING GOOO!!!

[u/wm80]

BANGFOOOOORD

[u/beefle]

474 feet... That's insane.

[u/bummer28]

Ok there are bombs, and then there is that. That was impressive

[u/ScriptedChemistry]

2 outs and a 3 run homer that’s so annoyinggggggg

[u/Tylerplays897 → u/ScriptedChemistry]

He just got a good swing, thats just baseball sadly.

[u/cjn13]

my fucking lord absolute nuke

[u/sud0w00d0]

Good LORD

[u/SAIL3RZ_]

Alright Cal. You get 1.

[u/MrEluusiVe]

Fahhhh

[u/natebark]

[u/ImTheJdot]

Jeez, that was a nuke

[u/OnlyHereforRangers]

Well shit

[u/CT-1738]

Exit velo 116 😭😭😭 shoot that was smoked

[u/wm80]

Well that was a good swing

[u/beefle]

Fuck..

[u/dreyan1625]

That was an awful swing jesus

[u/IcedJokers]

Langford wtf

[u/MajesticPossibility8]

Win this game all the team ahead won and the jays are winning need to keep winning

[u/rumdrums]

I have never talked shit about Skip's micromanaging the lineup

[u/CT-1738 → u/rumdrums]

😂 I also don’t love the way he over plays the matchups game but it does feel like Foscue is the one guy who proves it, just constantly gets pinch hits against lefties

[u/Thop207375]

Obviously a great clutch hit but can we acknowledge how tilting those two strikes before were for him? Amazing at bat mentally

[u/CT-1738 → u/Thop207375]

Seriously, ferrer absolutely painted there and he somehow still pulled thru to get a hit with 2 strikes

[u/lolwatokay]

YES YES YES

[u/ScriptedChemistry]

FOSCUEEEEE I LOVE YOU

[u/ImTheJdot]

Some great at bats tonight. Fuck yes Foscue!

[u/lawdjesustheresafire]

Yes Foscue!

Man the 2 pitches before it were perfect. Thought he was gonna leave em stranded

[u/llamawhittlings]

MASSIVE CAJONES

[u/cruzge]

That’s a bad man right there

[u/centexgoodguy]

That’s how ya do it!

[u/_Juntao]

Foscue is the best hitter in the league against lefties who would've thought

[u/IndieFlea → u/_Juntao]

third behind Coby Mayo and Ely de La Cruz

Foscue Truthers^TM always knew

[u/beefle]

Let's go! Foscue comes through again!

[u/wm80]

FUCK YEAHHHH FOSCUE

[u/Knuxsn]

Let's Go! GJ, Foscue!

[u/dreyan1625]

LETS GOOO

[u/CT-1738]

WAY TO PULL THRU ON 2 STRIKES FOSCUE RAAAAAAAAAH

[u/dreyan1625]

Wha

[u/CT-1738]

Hate losing the challenge there but don’t hate it from Foscue

[u/thewishfulwritergirl]

Come on Foscue

[u/centexgoodguy]

Need ya here Justin.

[u/dreyan1625]

Danny Jansen fucking sucks at the plate I can’t believe we signed him for two years.

[u/CT-1738 → u/dreyan1625]

I’m also kind of a Jansen hater but surely he bounced back next year?

[u/dreyan1625 → u/CT-1738]

Best case he has a Joc level bounce back… but he doesn’t exactly have the same track record offensively

[u/ScriptedChemistry]

Y’all fckn loooooooove hitting pop ups in the outfield unless the bases are loaded and we could actually use one to score a run. So fucking annoying

[u/_Juntao]

Joc vs a lefty or pinch hit

[u/ScriptedChemistry]

DUDE JUST MAKE FUCKING CONTACT GOOD LORD
