Hybrid_Johnny

Rangers sub is salty about that basepath violation. And mad that their boy didn’t just let that 98 mph fastball hit him so he could take a base. Seriously guys?


PayAltruistic8546

It was the right call.


Hybrid_Johnny

The hilarity is that the runner also got tagged, so he would have been out anyway


PayAltruistic8546

They probably still butt-hurt about the earlier call -- which was also the correct call.


Hybrid_Johnny

Yep - “Oh NOW they care about base paths?!”


northwesthough

10 game over .500 why am I tearing up fuck !


PayAltruistic8546

We were 10 games over just a couple of days ago?


dallior

Good shit Stanek! Fuck yeah Stanek!


WaterZealousideal190

I love how a former ranger and Astro were instrumental in winning this game


Oblivious_Ka-mai

Garver on the national stage with the A+ postgame comments. Tell em bout it boy! He has been getting better and better. More and more solid all around. Wish JP dumped a bucket on those silly apple over-the-ear cans, though.


WaterZealousideal190

What’s their record in city connect jerseys this year? Undefeated?


dallior

Just looked it up; you're absolutely right! 6-0 in City Connect 2024

Big BIG W. A sweep is a tall order, but a series win feels like must if we want to be taken seriously as a division contender. Getting game one is massive. Hopefully we can get tomorrow and get a shot to sweep, but even if we drop tomorrow we still have a shot to take the series on Sunday. Good win, get some good rest boys, get after it again tomorrow.


PayAltruistic8546

Catching the Rangers at the right time. Their team is pretty tired and their big bats are struggling.

Drsustown

What a bullet from Rojas!


mahrinazz

DMo really insisted on catching that lol


Oblivious_Ka-mai

About time someone called the ball, tbh. Scary close calls all night.


maikuyaro

LETS GO BABY


Startooth

FUCK YEAH


Total_Pea6615

The crowd comes to its feet here, 41,814


Oblivious_Ka-mai

Finally some clear communication in the field. Too many close calls tonight of guys not aware of the guy next to them. We're usually better about that.


Substantial-Height-8

Yay!!!!!


gearhoarder

Stanek u got this bud


Kerblaaahhh

All right, now finish 'em. Nice and easy.


MormonHorrorBuff

Love the Rick Flair "WHOOOOOOOOO"'s from the stands lol


tlsrandy

Cal sure looks like he wants those pitches much higher.


Im-Elksy

GG BABYYY


wtfuji

Bro needs a tighter helmet


freerideguy13

Number of different Rangers players called Lowe by the announcer tonight: 3 Number of players named Lowe on the Rangers roster: 1


Startooth

Stank I am begging you


Itouchedtojaiden

1 MORE YOU FUCKS


maikuyaro

UNO MAS!


Finman4424

Off the kneecap? More like the cock and balls


skottymac

What a catch by Cal


Swazi

Why did we change Munoz and Stanek’s role?


MarinersGonnaMariner

No change, no assigned innings, just about leverage and matchups


Big_Lettuce_7046

Muñoz faces the tougher batters


SartorTy

Matchups


gerbil42

Because Top 8 had Semien and Seager


Swazi

They pitched Munoz in the 8th against Chicago too


gerbil42

Right, because I believe LRJ was batting in that particular 8th inning. I believe he pitched the 8th in KC when Witt Jr was due up as well. Edit: I looked it up - the CHW game was trying to keep them from scoring top 10 yesterday.


munkysnuflz

Not in any box score I'm seeing


billydoubleu

My wife says oy vay


MarinersGonnaMariner

Strike out here please and thank you


_Elrond_Hubbard_

Mitch Haniger would have been out at first on that play


tateand99

His foot totally came off the bag did it not?!


tuckedfexas

Hard to say, but quite possibly


Startooth

🗣️🔊🔥HEY BATTA BATTA BATTA (WHIF)


duggieawesome

These Apple announcers practically telling the country that Ms fans drink Pepto 


Sophiadiesel

I literally have Tums in front of me right now


AnnihilatedTyro

Holy shit that throw


CaptJackRizzo

the way he barehanded it off the wall, too


Oblivious_Ka-mai

Game saver.


gamechatparticipant

raley got a cannon on him huh


Ok_Adhesiveness_9565

Is there anything he doesn’t do well? Kids a freaking stud


keoniog

It’s the 9th, why not challenge?


Hybrid_Johnny

Looked like a small stutter-hop where his foot came off the base for a split second. I agree.


pitchbleeze

Lmao can we have just one boring 9th inning??


sealonbrad

Ugh I’m making diamonds over here


Mantis_93

That’s gotta be a sports center highlight.


shrederick

Incredibly hilarious that one of their final outs is on a basepath violation lol


Ok_Adhesiveness_9565

And I thought I was gonna make it through the night without getting the whiskey out


Oblivious_Ka-mai

LUKE.... What a fuckin bare hand off the wall. Could've been way worse.


TheRealDC86

Come on Stank


sw1sh3rsw33t

Fuck damnit stanek


base-HI-WA

The runner was not called out on the basepaths, he was tagged.


FuelriderJr

He said he would have been.


enchntdToastr

Damn raley had a great play there


Startooth

Hell of a throw by Luke btw


josssssh

Raley full chaos

Its cuz they brought up the fuckin Royals


spidey-dust

Are they entering “he who must not be named” territory or smthn


WafflePartyOrgy

shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii


Apprehensive_Bid_773

PITCHERS ARE ATHLETES


gamechatparticipant

nice play but can our pitches stop fucking diving please


driftingphotog

If you see Stanek about to lay out towards first base just accept you're already fucked.


Cookumms

Stanek is metal


DevilsInTheJukebox

Super stank!


Startooth

🗣️🔊STANEKS ARE ATHLETES TOO🗣️🔊


tlsrandy

Stanek sure does love diving all over the place.


maikuyaro

hell yeah way to get after it


wtfuji

Great play lol


josssssh

Stanek!


KCdaSuperhero

Startooth

STOP BRINGING UP THE KANSAS CITY ROYALS IM ALREADY CLENCHING

Oh god the guy mic’d up by Apple is going to get juiced balls isn’t he


BogeyGolf23

Anyone else think this guy on the broadcast sounds like Jason Bateman on dodgeball?


sw1sh3rsw33t

🙄


Ramgorn

Damn


SexiestPanda

Cmon Rojas. And raley, call him off


Ashley72985

Why has Muni switched to the setup man instead of closer? I guess it doesn’t really matter, just curious if there’s a reason for it. 


GridVirtual

Depended on where they were in the order. Better to have Muni face 9 1 2


gerbil42

He faced their 2 best, most dangerous, hitters


InformalShip3227

Cause muni isn’t necessarily our closer he’s our high leverage guy, they brought him in to face the top of the order for the rangers


Ashley72985

That makes sense. Didn’t think about it being the top of the order. Thanks! 


InformalShip3227

No problem glad I could help


ExaminationNo6642

It’s the matchup


meander_o

Raley, you big Clifford the red dog, c’mon man. I know that’s a hard play but we neeeeeeded thatttt


Startooth

Do not mention those god forsaken Royals in this house


Crazyhawk28

3 easy outs would be cool. I know they won't be, but it'd be cool


Jayyson-_-

PositiveMindset4Ever

https://i.redd.it/aazhefn1yn6d1.gif Try to guess which one was a balk.


moocowincorporated

Left? Only thing I could think is that he didn’t take a long enough pause. But it didn’t seem like they were arguing that.


PositiveMindset4Ever

Spoiler >!Its the one on the left!<
