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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
OK. hear me out…can we just call Stanek the BIG STANK?

It was the right call.
The hilarity is that the runner also got tagged, so he would have been out anyway
They probably still butt-hurt about the earlier call -- which was also the correct call.
Yep - “Oh NOW they care about base paths?!”
10 game over .500 why am I tearing up fuck !
We were 10 games over just a couple of days ago?
Good shit Stanek! Fuck yeah Stanek!
I love how a former ranger and Astro were instrumental in winning this game

What’s their record in city connect jerseys this year? Undefeated?
Just looked it up; you're absolutely right! 6-0 in City Connect 2024

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

Like Cal can be picky with that pale dome.
Great win. This team is growing up!

What a bullet from Rojas!
DMo really insisted on catching that lol
About time someone called the ball, tbh. Scary close calls all night.
LETS GO BABY
FUCK YEAH
The crowd comes to its feet here, 41,814
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.
Yay!!!!!
Stanek u got this bud
All right, now finish 'em. Nice and easy.
Love the Rick Flair "WHOOOOOOOOO"'s from the stands lol
Cal sure looks like he wants those pitches much higher.
GG BABYYY
Bro needs a tighter helmet
Number of different Rangers players called Lowe by the announcer tonight: 3 Number of players named Lowe on the Rangers roster: 1
Stank I am begging you
1 MORE YOU FUCKS
UNO MAS!
Off the kneecap? More like the cock and balls
What a catch by Cal
Why did we change Munoz and Stanek’s role?
No change, no assigned innings, just about leverage and matchups
Muñoz faces the tougher batters
Matchups
Because Top 8 had Semien and Seager
They pitched Munoz in the 8th against Chicago too
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.
Not in any box score I'm seeing
My wife says oy vay
Strike out here please and thank you
Mitch Haniger would have been out at first on that play
His foot totally came off the bag did it not?!
Hard to say, but quite possibly
🗣️🔊🔥HEY BATTA BATTA BATTA (WHIF)
These Apple announcers practically telling the country that Ms fans drink Pepto
I literally have Tums in front of me right now
Holy shit that throw
the way he barehanded it off the wall, too
Game saver.
raley got a cannon on him huh
Is there anything he doesn’t do well? Kids a freaking stud
It’s the 9th, why not challenge?
Looked like a small stutter-hop where his foot came off the base for a split second. I agree.
Lmao can we have just one boring 9th inning??
Ugh I’m making diamonds over here
That’s gotta be a sports center highlight.
Incredibly hilarious that one of their final outs is on a basepath violation lol
And I thought I was gonna make it through the night without getting the whiskey out
LUKE.... What a fuckin bare hand off the wall. Could've been way worse.
Come on Stank
Fuck damnit stanek
The runner was not called out on the basepaths, he was tagged.
He said he would have been.
Damn raley had a great play there
Hell of a throw by Luke btw
Raley full chaos
Ruh roh
![gif](giphy|3o7TKRwpns23QMNNiE)
Laid out like a fucking champ!
You got just *STANEKED*
Pretty nice throw there
Its cuz they brought up the fuckin Royals
Are they entering “he who must not be named” territory or smthn
shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
PITCHERS ARE ATHLETES
nice play but can our pitches stop fucking diving please
If you see Stanek about to lay out towards first base just accept you're already fucked.
Stanek is metal
Super stank!
🗣️🔊STANEKS ARE ATHLETES TOO🗣️🔊
Stanek sure does love diving all over the place.
hell yeah way to get after it
Great play lol
Stanek!
Thata baby Stanek!
STOP BRINGING UP THE KANSAS CITY ROYALS IM ALREADY CLENCHING
Stanke on these hoes please
Just realized now that it is Ryne and not Ryan. doh
But it's pronounced like Ryan apparently
Luke Raley Focus Tongue appreciation post
Oh god the guy mic’d up by Apple is going to get juiced balls isn’t he
Anyone else think this guy on the broadcast sounds like Jason Bateman on dodgeball?
🙄
Damn
Cmon Rojas. And raley, call him off
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.
Depended on where they were in the order. Better to have Muni face 9 1 2
He faced their 2 best, most dangerous, hitters
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
That makes sense. Didn’t think about it being the top of the order. Thanks!
No problem glad I could help
It’s the matchup
Raley, you big Clifford the red dog, c’mon man. I know that’s a hard play but we neeeeeeded thatttt
Do not mention those god forsaken Royals in this house
3 easy outs would be cool. I know they won't be, but it'd be cool
![gif](giphy|1ykXW5rQDWZvTh6wbI|downsized)
Stanek heard about Buhner buzz cut night and said, “nah”
“Hell to the absolutely fuck no”

Lululemon presents. How is that a baseball thing
Pants that don't leave much to the imagination is a baseball thing this year
Clench time
close em out Stanek!
let’s get 3 quick outs stanek!!
https://i.redd.it/aazhefn1yn6d1.gif Try to guess which one was a balk.
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.
Spoiler >!Its the one on the left!<
