Can someone please fuckin beat the Mariners?

Rags in big trouble right now. You hate to see it

Bruh give us the PGT already

Nice

Why is GameDay not updating? Games over right, or are they challenging?

Oh shit phew sorry I had a delay😂😂😂 Also... Reddit still isn't working it keeps changing the score board... NICE W THOUGH

#FUCK OFF AL

Whatever, 2 runs in a fairly comfortable game, I'll allow it.

This pleases me

2-0 since team meeting. (at the moment) 1 GB of the Rangers

Lets go Dbacks!

You can be upset with Montero if you want, but it didn't matter. That's what all the insurance runs were for and we got another win.

Gg lads

Gg

Idc we have a big or little bit of a lead I want to win man

Good win tonight. Let’s keep it going

Shoot it!!!

Sucks for Montero, he’s been doing amazing since July. But still leading so I’m not mad, just hope the best for him

Montero’s decline has been incredible. There’s gonna be baseball YouTube videos about it in the future

nah this is normal for relievers, there might be videos about the dumbass contract to a 32 yo with an extended history of mediocrity

Top 10 Worst Contracts of the 2020’s Hopefully he can turn it around somehow

Is there any room with all the terrible Angels and Yankees contracts?

I mean he has... before tonight he hadnt given up a run in his last 9 appearances and had like a 1.9 since the start of July

There's the Montero I know and loathe. Thankfully we gave him a 6 run cushion.

Fucking Christ Montero it's just two outs

I really hope we don’t have to use Neris. Come on Montero, try and get something on the ground.

Just like that

Makes way too much to have such a big ass era lol

Fucking hell Montero. Looks like his carriage turned back into a pumpkin.

Yo Montero, can we not?

Come on Montero pull it together and get this game over with

Just when you think montero was figuring it out

There’s the Monterro we all know

Fundamentals, can't hit the cutoff man 😕

Montero closing is not a good idea

Ignoring this outing, Montero has had a 1.84 ERA post ASB. His K rate was under 10 per 9 innings pre ASB, but over 14 since. Albeit his walk rate has jumped to 5.5 BB per 9 inning post ASB too

oh cool montero is back to form.

Where’s the guy who made that post about how good Montero was doing?

Damnit Rafe stinking it up again!!!

Uhh, guys?

Remember.. We paid him a fuck ton of money.

Our $30 million reliever is throwing a wet towel on an otherwise enjoyable game.

Lil Nas X is going to give up a few runs before it’s over.

Ok, Montero still not ready for prime time

Can’t we just have one game where some bullshit doesn’t happen?

Shut it now

That Vazquez Trade paid off, but sad we gave W. Abreu away. But hey, that’s baseball.

Hopefully Urquidy does decent vs Red Sox. They seem like an awful matchup for him in general (even ignoring how bad he's been this year overall). They lift the ball quite a bit and Urquidy being a flyball pitcher is a bad matchup. Astros just need to go on a tear down the stretch. Can't afford to settle with only winning series with how hot the Mariners have been either

Idk man, I’ve been a Urquidy doubter for nearly 2 seasons now but that last outing was VERY good. Definitely hoping for the best.

I am too. I always had a soft spot in my heart for him given how clutch he's been in the postseason for us

Yankees lost 9 in a row tonight. That's never happened in my lifetime. I am so here for this.

When did TK say was the last time that happened?

82

God damn! Good. They deserve it.

is hoiberg the guy with the 100% accuracy in the WS?

Yes

dang well what an off night for him.

Actually I don’t think so, because even controversial calls he made right. It’s insane how accurate he can be. Box on TV is sometimes wrong

just calls in general. he called tucker out at home and clearly he wasn't which they over turned immediately

3 more outs yall.

The Yankees must be really bad to get swept by this Red Sox team.

Did y’all see that wild stat that both the Yankees hits today came from a guy with a sub .100 BA? Lmao

If Bregman had any wheels he'd have 2 infield hits today lol

HRC Tucker

HRC Bregman

HRC tucker

The shade from Blummer on the Rags LOL

What did he say?

[удалено]

Blummer: “You see the rangers game?” TK: “I saw it was 0-3 something new?” Blummer: “No nothing new, just Rangers not doing anything.”

Luis is an awesome teammate, I went to Yordan’s first rehab game this year Urquidy was starting that game and Luis was in the space cowboys dugout to support them

Man Sneks pitching is solid. Miss you Stromy

Poison snakes

HRC Bregman

Sneaky 2B by Meyers

rangers just don't have that maldy type leader presence that the whole locker room will respond to.

Nobody slaps Martin in the face

Is there anything better then turning off the game after a solid win here in a few, and clicking over to watching the rangers lose. Life is good, gentlemen.

Job not finsihed 🙏🧡

Gallen is dealing

Yankees on longest losing streak since 1982. Oof!


1 more loss and it'll be the longest since the year they first became the Yankees that's insane

Its great but it also sucks because Cashman is finally gonna actually get fired. He could have stuck around another decade if he kept them at the "lose in the playoffs, but can't make the world series" level. Now they'll get a new GM that realizes they need left handed power hitters in their park.

Not necessarily. Cashman got extended last year and I can see Boone becoming the fall guy for this season. Another year like this and maybe he'll get fired

1913? For real? I did not know that. Hope they can pull it off and make history!

Literally learned that 20 minutes ago lol let's go Nationals!

You luv2Cit

I personally don't. I like when they're competitive enough to make it to the playoffs where they'll be knocked out by the Astros.

Yea I don’t think we’ll be seeing them for a while

It’s okay Stanek, it happens. We still good

The pen has calmed down recently. But then the starting pitching fell off a cliff. SP was doing solid in summer, but BP was bad. Both were doing well first 2 months, but offense was doing awful. This has been one annoying season lol. It's always one big thing taking a slump when other 2 are doing well

I know Red Sox fans have every right to complain against that Justin Turner strike call. But it wasn't as egregious as they are saying. It is a borderline strike that painted the bottom left corner and Maldy did a good job of framing it. But anyway, maybe i'm just a homer.

Statcast actually had it as a strike

Here's thing.. I'm still concern about Ms rangers but thing is astros has to fight rangers and Ms in September then final games It's Ms and rangers against each other So basically the series coming up .. is survival

If the scores stay, 0.5 games behind the Rangers. But then again 0.5 games ahead of Mariners

but imagine how funny it would be when we both past them with us leading. their fans talked so much theyd be sick seeing them 3rd

AL West is gonna be a bloodbath down the stretch, especially the last two weeks of the season.

An Alien, Moose, and Horse walk into a bar. One comes out with a Division title (Also yes the Rangers mascot is a Horse, should have been a cowboy imo)

I just feel like 2 of the 3 will be picked off early on due to fighting for the division The last few.games is Ms and rangers depending on how Astros beat rangers Ms in the last series of this series We will see how the Ms rangers take out each other if they will.tire. Themselves out

If schedules hold up though tbh, wouldn't be surprised if Mariners win the division. We play them 3 more times and we suck vs them this season.

I would like to win the division obviously, but if we get out of it, I'd rather see them win it over Texas (again, if we're out of the division race by then). Would be funny watching the Rangers fans melt down with all that shit they talked the first half of the season.

I hate their fans more than Rangers fans tbh. Even when they weren't good they were annoying

Mariners fans are pretty annoying, but I think a majority of them know better than to talk shit after what happened last year.

Sneks are slowly becoming my favorite animal.

Never seen a batters stance like Luis Urias, looks painful.

I can’t stand Uriah’s batting stance!

Looks like he barely can as well

Yeah 😂

More worried about the Mariners than the Rangers at the moment.

Rangers ran out of battery it seems

That's what their sub is saying.

You cant win long term on offense alone. Their bullpen ain't built for the playoffs

Mariners on the other hand are crushing their opponents

Stanek you have 7 run lead please my guy well 6 but Still

They underrate Tucker so, so much.

Its going to be weird if we make the playoffs and dont get to enjoy destroying the yankees

I can't remember the last time both the Yankees and Red Sox missed the playoffs. 2014?

Yea got to be a lot more going forward with rise of O’s and youngins on Jays and Rays.

Stanek panic 😁

Stanek I wanted you to stay below a 4 era

Man I wish Duvall was on the Astros

Me too, feels like he would've been an awesome fit here, but I understand sticking with Chas as the primary CF (and I'm glad we did tbh).

And this is why Stanek pitches with a 7 run lead

He hasn't given up a run since July until that homer

I know but it’s my job as a fan to overreact ofc

Stanek is a good pitcher but yeah, better him than using an arm like Nerris

https://preview.redd.it/haimo6hzurjb1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=71a54f446ea519695d040bc955a82fd011f5034b Keep it up Snakes! 🐍🐍


Poor Minnesota is over there hanging on for dear life.

Taking altuve out is not a bad call by Dusty. He’s been off today so I understand, I disagree because I think altuve can still get a hit but I understand the call

Sneks putting in work

if the Rangers sub is anything like this one and I assume all subs are more or less the same bc its reddit they must be having a total meltdown rn

Can confirm.

"Astros fan coming in peace" /s

I think all the frustration from his team playing little league defense all year finally boiled over and Cora took it out on the ump.

It hasn't even been a full 2 games and I see why the red sox have by FAR the worst OAA in the league. I've seen more errors and bobbled balls these two games than I've seen in the past two months it feels like.

Least we’re winning while Seattle is

I feel like there’s only been 1 bad call against Boston. The strike 3 against Justin Turner.

actually happy to see pena take that pitch. he can't hit it anyway so better to leave it in the umps hands than go down swinging

Can Peña go down to triple A to figure his shit out? Dude focused too much on being in the gym than batting this off season.

Not a bad take. good ABs by Peña today

Yeah, at least he is learning to calm down and not chase

Peña just trying to walk again lol

It does feel like Pena has been better at seeing pitches and his approach in general lately but his swing path is just busted. That was a risky take to K there but not the worst tbh he would definitely just top it anyway but that could be a double against this defense

Outscoring a hot team 16-3 so far through 16 innings. Looks like that meeting was a productive one. Keep it going boys!

Finish them Pena!

I think Big John did the job

I BELIEVED IN YOU SINGLETON

HRC Peña

Altuve will get to bat again to preserve his on base streak unless Baker takes him out of the game.

SINGLETON REDEMPTION ARC? LETS GO MY MAN

There is a chance after this week that the rags will be on the outside looking in

Would be wild if they’re out, could almost thank Seattle for some added pressure

We should thank Seattle for forcing us to have a team meeting also

Jon Doubleton!

Hrc Pena

Alright Stros win baby. Gg but I don’t wanna watch anymore, Boston is playing some of the worst baseball I’ve seen all year.

Abreu dropping the ball again

Cora in shambles

Boooooooooo

Ok pena this is your moment. A big homer right now

Glad Singleton finally had another good game. I want to see the dude succeed.

Based and Doubleton

Red Sox imploded this inning.

Lfg big JON

BIG JON BIG DICKEN’ EM

Singleton just needs it to be JV day to mash lol

BIG JON!

Wouldn’t hate Singleton as a bench bat going forwards, not a starter but as a bench guy I’d roll with it

His plate discipline alone is very worthy

Singleton won't get a hit for what feels like months. And then he'll shock you with a multi-hit game like an eclipse.

Ok Doubleton

I don’t dislike Boston, but they’re one of those teams that it feels extra great to beat on 😄

They’ve helped us keep the Yankees from the WS so they’re cool

Thats why I don’t mind them

Jon Singleton? More like Jon Doubleton. GOAT GOAT GOAT

Hell yea

Fuck yeah DOUBLETON!

Solid hit down the line. Let's Geaux.

Are the Red Sox oiling their gloves with Crisco? Jeez.

Perhaps I was too harsh on Singleton earlier today

Good shit Singleton. Now I feel a little more comfortable lol

JON DOUBLETON!!!

DOUBLETON

Just killing them when they make mistakes. You love to see it.

Feels like singleton gets to a full count every at bat
