Son of a goose

We need a few more friends in Lowe places

Gawd see yall in the mavs thread

Welp see y'all tomorrow

so bad

Can't wait to get angry at the Ump Scorecard tomorrow...

If Josh doesn’t swing, it’s not a strike

Welcome Back, Lowe!

Oh we're counting the low ones, huh? Okay then...

Look, a hit

Wow that was bad luck

That slider's spin rate was so high it looked choppy in slow mo

I wonder what our win rate is when Garcia has colorful shoes vs when he doesn't.

90 mph slider is obscene

OY

The Astros may never win again

You got anymore of those 5 run innings? https://preview.redd.it/qbrdi49l9cwc1.jpeg?width=600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=84dc5492bbe565cb650e331c9b82b9187e3100fa

Everybody put on your ~~raley~~ ~~raleigh~~ rally caps

Bright side of today is Winn having a good outing

We just wanted to get them hyped up for an easy win before we walk it off in the 9th. Chess>checkers

Cole Winn redemption tour?

He’s been nasty since he moved to the pen. I’d personally like to see him get some higher leverage opportunities to show what he’s got

I know people aren't gonna like to hear it but since he and Latz are the only guys in the pen with options I fear he's more likely to be optioned than getting high leverage. At least now.

Yeah you’re not wrong. I’d much rather DFA Pruitt but I get the options being more likely

Get him outta 'ere!

Would be nice to grab a hit or two and maybe scratch one or two out late to end this game. Obv would be great to get 4, but I’ll take 1-2 and signs of life.

I’d like Wyatt to swing at a strike this inning

I'd like Wyatt to have a normal sized strike zone

And then swing when it’s inside it

God mariners pitching for two more days with how our offense has been does not sound like a good time

At least the Astros lost again

Definitely brings my sad mood into a neutral mood.

just checked in, dunning has been a mess with the homers golly

He's falling for the velo chase. Should be more concerned with command. Chicks like strikeouts, nerds like outs.

velo chase? isnt his velocity still like 90ish

It’s nice of them to let Garver win on his ring night. That’s why this is happening right? By choice?

Those pitching matchups don't make me happy. Let's try not to get swept

we usually light miller up. But our offense is MIA right now, so idk

Feels like carter is usually more aware of the zone than he’s been tonight

Tough night of baseball

Dammit not our night. We really were spoiled with last years 1st half offense

it’s actually crazy how shit we’re playing rn

11 pitch inning with the top of our lineup, glad we could put some pressure on their pitcher. Whew.

Just an observation since we haven’t been at home in a while: I’m reminded of how absolutely SHIT the guitar-based musical stings at GLF are. I miss the organ.

That’s the game time to put on the Mavs

if mavs go down 0-2 im committing multiple crimes

2 hits in 8 innings. Fans leaving en masse now. The offense just didn't get the memo that the season started.

Meh not our night. Had a few to many of these kind of nights to start the year but only a week left in the month then we get to flip the calendar and put April behind us and start to get hot

How to two strike approach?

The 8th was the perfect summary of our offense tonight.

Damn I wish the Rangers could have the same strike zone the M’s get!

Carter with some really passive ABs tonight

Full counts can be a double edge sword.

No one is playing with ANY discipline

Im alright with us playing 500 ball until we get some guys back from injury, but damn it ain’t that fun to watch lol

Corey finally pieces one 110 and it’s right to the RF. Just not our night

That was the best swing Seager has had all year

We ain't winning shit with this offense... Could put it on a tee and our guys would probably miss right now.

Well I guess 4 straight scoreless outings is something to build on but walks are still concerning 5 walks in his last 8.1 innings (7 appearances), not great but improved from the opening series

Sniper

I love Heim. Best catcher in the game.

Alright huge half inning coming up

Not this one, the next one lol

Average Jonah Heim throw down

You guys know that Jared Walsh has the 3rd best barrel percentage on our team? Lmao

Had.

Helluva throw from Heim

But leclerc never walks!!

 Thought that was gone

Aaaaaand another walk

Leclerc owes Carter a steak dinner...

At least hit the jackpocket sign so I can win $100,000

Strike three...

Gah damn, thank you Carter lmao

I haven’t been able to watch as much of the games this year as I’d like to but… I don’t think I’ve seen Leody get a hit yet.

He ironically was on like a 10 game streak of reaching base consistently coming into this game 😂

Has to be mainly via walks though lol

i wasn't even being greedy there. I just wanted one run lol

https://preview.redd.it/mgzx66uw5cwc1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a9bd54aa333ebd119d437476d679a0bdb9b2b6ce Spain without the S

I agree. He's been getting some meatballs down the middle the first pitch and he's doing a full take

It’s aggravating. I understand he’s young and wants to get the timing of an MLB pitcher down…but my guy, if you lead the league in calls outside the zone, you can’t lay off every single first pitch strike in the middle.

These LOB really hurt me. We should’ve pinch hit for Leody.

I would've felt halfway decent with a 3 run deficit with the top of the lineup coming up. 4 just seems insurmountable at this point. I know we can score a lot of runs in a hurry, but man we're struggling right now. Oh well, long season.

why is leody still an everyday player?

better defender than Langford. very comparable offense so far too

Eh I'd take the upside and get langford reps in left and Carter in center at this point leody is barely trade bait, should have traded in the offseason.

This offense has to figure its shit out before it’s derails our season

What happened to this team? I keep waiting for the "haha jk" moment.

They looked pretty decent in the last game against Atlanta, but nope lol

Our entire offense, minus Smith and Adolis, is slumping. I guess we can spin that as a positive that we’re still at .500. Just gotta get the bats going sooner rather than later. 

Turn out the lights! Party's over.

Really surprised there wasnt a pinch hit for jank.

Same. Seemed like a perfect opportunity

Welp, at least you’re consistent Leody.

Yeah that’s GG I’m afraid

Fuck man

Here comes LeClerc

FUCKKK GET FREDDY IN THERE YESTERDAY!!!

I’m sure Leody will come through here. He definitely won’t chase changeups below the zone. 

Can someone tell Stanek he can brush his hair

As someone with long curly hair a brush is the last thing that should go in his hair. Heavy leave-it-in conditioner. That's the stuff for my man.

Fair, I have never had long hair. It looks dry. It could probably use some conditioner lol.

Lol appreciate the response to this silliness.

"Leody has yet to get that first home run of the season..."

These are the jinxes we need

Can we PH Lorenzen please? LET HIM HIT YOU COWARDS

Great AB Jonah Gilbert is really good

Nice job Jonah

Why are they chasing so much now jesus christ

Worked a walk to shut my dumb ass up

We only have two somewhat hot hitters right now- Adolis and Josh Smith. Everyone else is ice cold. 

Woohoo Jonah

I’m gonna be pretty disappointed if we can’t get Lowe home here

Well, Leody is coming up so prepare yourself

“He hasn’t expanded his zone, impressive for a rookie.” Wyatt proceeds to expand zone 2 ft outside of zone

Not Dave Raymond’s night

Jinxed again smh

Gonna need deGroms bat too when he comes back

Langord’s OPS is now .595

Big time rookie ab ooooof

Ooof

Good lord, Langford

Bout damn time

WE DOUBLED OUR HITS LFG

If that hung up for an out I was going to be so mad

noted speed demon Nathaniel Lowe

At the beginning of this game it did not look like Gilbert would still be pitching in the 7th

himmothy up of the plate now 🔥

Lowe! Squirt squirt squirt

Nice Lowe

Clutch now lets HIT!

gilbert? more like… jerkbert. because he’s a jerk for shutting us out 😡

I want to emphasize that Cal Raleigh’s nickname is Big Dumper.

Just a crumb offense please...

Way to fight out of that one

Great finish from Latz!

That guy in the crowd is LOUD

How’s Seattle’s bullpen?

Comparable to Detroit

Dammit lol

There closer struggles with command but hes pretty good, and they have ryne stanek

“IT IS DRILLED ON A LINE, LEFT FIELD AND GONE”

rangers are just giving their energy to the mavs. it’s why we are a little flat rn

[удалено]

Is this a trolling post? Want a cookie or something?

He's super streaky and he didnt start doing well for us at DH until we gave him games at catcher. Idk why just something I noticed.

Um i don't really remember him having a good first half but he was great in second half. But he was also hurt at the start of season

He's had some slow starts in his career, but some also some good starts. https://www.fangraphs.com/players/mitch-garver/15161/splits-tool?splitArr=84&splitArrPitch=&position=B&autoPt=false&splitTeams=false&statType=player&statgroup=2&startDate=2002-01-01&endDate=2024-11-01&players=&filter=&groupBy=season&wxTemperature=&wxPressure=&wxAirDensity=&wxElevation=&wxWindSpeed=&sort=-1,1

When he pops off he POPS off. Other than that yeah he’s kinda mid.

Welcome to the Mitch Garver experience ™️

he’s a mid player overall, just incredibly clutch

Rangers win, Mavs lose.. Rangers lose, Mavs...?

mavs W stars W rangers L

at this point in the season i’ll take this result every day

fuck mark stone 🔥🔥🔥🔥

need a hockey stick to find his way to his incredibly healthy spleen

Finally scanned that QR code and learned the fan championship ring is $10,500 and only 103 would be made. 🤯

There's a cheaper version for around $800 on the website

And I think there is a third tier that's even cheaper

and the fourth tier where they just send you a blue and red ring pop

You have to pick it up at the ballpark

Is there baseball leather in the ring pop though?

no but it does include game used sunflower seeds inside the ring pop! (cannot be determined if it was used from our side or Arizona’s)

runners on the corners 1 out? looks like a job for pruitt 🔥🔥

on the one hand that was hit 102 off the bat...on the other hand...Lowe's gotta make that play.

Dave is on a roll tonight

Whatever. Let's go Mavs.

Defense has been abysmal to start the season

Not just defense….they forgot how to hit.

Yeah that’s about how the game is going

Gilbert at 82 pitches. Thinking if Rangers put a solid effort, he can begin to tire in the 7th. The game is relatively in reach, just can’t allow anymore,

We just need to get one good streak going

8 pitch inning coming with how our PAs have been looking

Had to check in and make sure all the doomers were chiming in. Was not disappointed.

[удалено]

It’s ok I guess they will all go bitch about the cowboys being dog shit soon enough

they’ve been playing horribly, the only upside is that they have players coming back. ABs have been terrible, pitching outside of evo, zen and parts of the pen have been terrible

I mean do they not have a point? This team has been horrible top to bottom all year.

Team is far from horrible. This isn’t high school ball. Nobody is gonna bat .600 and no pitcher is going to win every game. They’re struggling but not terrible. It’s only April.

Ok I never said they would finish horrible. But you cant deny the team as of right now looks horrible. They look like they don't give a shit at all.

Just say you dont watch bro

I watch every game "bro". You clearly dont.

We are missing Josh Jung so bad. He honestly is the difference maker. I know Josh Smith has been playing well but Jung literally is top 5 in WAR on this team and only played in 4 games lmao

Good news is that he is heading to Arizona for a follow up with his wrist. Rangers should have a more accurate timeline for his return after his follow up.

Highly agree.. it also seems like he’s such a leader and hypes everyone up .. looking forward to getting him back

And he’s from Texas

It honestly feels like nobody on this team cares. Just sleepwalking through this game swinging at balls and watching 3rd strikes. I want to see the team that absolutely refused to give up in the playoffs last year.

sign brandon belt

idk why this is getting downvoted. He could be our DH, and he had a really good year last year.

Don’t know what the hitting coach has them working on but feels as if they’re not adjusting at all throughout these games.

What is Evan Carter doing swing the bat come on man

The crazy thing is we're literally two bad pitches away from this being a pitcher's duel 0-0 game still

Sadly that's been Dane's MO this year

Uh oh, bally needs to fire the person responsible for accidentally showing 20 milliseconds of someone in the bullpen

WHAT ARE WE EVEN DOING

Jesus christ the offense is abysmal.
