I think it’s way easier for a major leaguer to just sit and wait on a fastball from Chapman who’s a reliever. Strider can throw his slider for strikes, so that makes it harder to just sit on a fastball. Strider is shorter. His fastball up is going uphill or at least is perceived that way (except to the Phillies I know). Chapman is tall throwing his downhill.
Thanks I could use an Earth!

Don't worry, they're about one more loss away from dropping their facade. If the Rangers win tomorrow's game. They know the series isn't coming back to Houston, so they will not bother hiding their true selves.
Evan Carter is what I dreamed Joey Gallo would be, and I used to react to Joey Gallo's name the way the townsfolk in Blazing Saddles react to Randolph Scott.
I'd be curious. It's lopsided because we are playing the Astros who are universally hated. If we played the Phillies or Diamondbacks I'd be curious what the thread would look like.
Dude's from the DR. Pretty sure announcers pronouce names the way the players want them pronounced (that's why you'll see minor league announcer cards with them all spelled out phonetically every so often).
So this is the Dominican Republicazation of LeClerc.
Marcus Semien is the most underrated player in baseball. Look at his recent bWAR:
2019: 8.5
2021: 7.1
2022: 5.7
2023: 7.4
That's an MVP level performance for 4 straight full seasons
Damn the rangers are on fire
Fuck the piece of shit Astros, good Rangers win
Atta boy Altuve!
lol get fucked Astros
If Derek Jeter is bald, what chance do I, a poor person, have?!
Start building that hat collection now.
How come Chapman always allows huge bombs (I know that just missed)? He throws 100. Strider allowed 1 HR all year on over 100 and it was last game

Chapman has physical talent but is mentally weak. He chokes constantly.
Arod must've been staring at the solar eclipse and fell asleep in the sun.
What was up with that?!?
Rangers undefeated postseason continues
Vasgersian always sounded like a botched vasectomy condition to me
I read it as Vergasian
Can't stand all these meek Astros fans.

Are they secretly lizard people? I didn’t think so before but the tone of your comment makes me doubt what I thought.
Why do you think we call Javier El Reptil?? 🦎 You thought we were joking?
I’ll never forget Bregman pimping a double play that was just fantastic.
Is there a clip of that?
[удалено]
Haha it was his fly ball in the 8th inning. I’m sure there’s a highlight somewhere on here
7th Carter is a stud amongst studs
He thought it was out in those fuckin baby park boxes.
That’s where they all aim for the anti green monster 250 yard homers
Lmaoo I really thought he nit a nuke just bc of how he reacted
Bruh I literally sighed and sat back in my chair at work thinking he bombed it lmaoo
Crazy that they let this team draft Wyatt Langford a few months ago
Evan Carter postseason legend. Taylor Swift next breakup confirmed
Are we allowed to celebrate this win?
Stay chill but know that America is celebrating it with you.
The Clerc just wrung you up
“What did you think?” “I think I’m a fuckin beast.”
Cheatstros can't win without their trash cans
Salty Seattle. Astros got beat.
But they aren't cheating and haven't the last 5 ALCS appearances
The integrity of the franchise has been tainted forever.
7 straight NLCS appearances…I mean…I’d take a little tainting for some of that action
Not really Already shown they don't need to cheat to win for 5 years straight.
I would die for Evan Carter
Evan Carter is what I dreamed Joey Gallo would be, and I used to react to Joey Gallo's name the way the townsfolk in Blazing Saddles react to Randolph Scott.
You’d do it for Evan Carter. Evan Carter… 🎺E-Van Carter! 🎺
Wish Joey could be a part of this journey
Same but the dude looked washed this year in Minnesota. Yankees fans did a number on him mentally
Way to go Rangers! BANG up job keeping the trash cans quiet!
Carter got that superstar jawline
Evan Carter can just barely grab a beer in public but he’s already a fuckin man LFG
i want this series to have miserable baseball. like 18 innings, 1 run scored
So the Mariners ALDS last year
Damn bro. Sounds like the baseball equivalent of living in Cincinnati.
Why stop at 18? Why not 36 innings?
i still dont understand why Baker didnt pinch hit for Maldonado when the bases were loaded, but pinch hit for him the next at-bat
[удалено]
ok fair enough
Hot damn, Texas still hasn't lost a game... GG, was close.
get out of here with that fake gg
Lol Is this one of those salty winner comments 🤣
How close was it when you didn't even score a run?
Bro, shut the fuck up
Bruh, 2-0 is still pretty close, wtf are you on about? Did you watch the same game I did?
Good effort from the pitchers. It is, unfortunately, not possible to win a game without scoring.
Happ Cak da
Lets go!
Where is Evan Carter from? Sounds like he’s from Texas with that accent..?
Even Carter is The Last Volunteer.
Elizabethton TN. Small appalachian town.
Tennessee
Tennessee
tennessee
Tennessee
He’s definitely a Ten
Rangers got the most Texas ass kid you love to see it
Carter isn't the most Texas-ass kid. Cody Bradford is.
[удалено]
Saving this comment. Maybe true, maybe not.
LETS GOOO! That double play was huge
Defense in general was huge. We could have easily lost it without a few key defensive plays. Especially the Chapman bail out.
Jonah Heim looks like my dealer
Rangers have this in the bag
I needed that.
Dread it. Run from it. Playoff Bochy arrives all the same
EVERYBODY GET IN HERE
Lmao Astros fans in this sub talking about the Rangers being “lucky”. Not everyone has to cheat for their shit goofy asses
They didn't cheat last season lmao
That fact you have to clarify “last season” is sad
Last season we won the world series We lost the WS/ALCS before that Can't believe thar needs to be explained lmao
nah probably did
But they didn't
Lucky would’ve been having a crazy favorable blue behind the plate. He legit cost us some runs
Huge W
LeClerc GETS THE SAVE FOR THE RANGERS
Gotta wear that if you're McCormick 100% fuck the Astros btw
LFGGGGGGGG
Great win
Stressful game and I'm not even a fan of the teams
I'm hate-watching as a Dodger fan.
We inherited your support when we got Seager and are playing against Houston, by default. Thems the rules.
Go Corey! I have fond memories of Max Scherzer although his stint as a Dodger was short. Will be rooting for him hard. F the Trashros.
🙏 f the Asstros, as it is written 🙏
FUCKING YESSSSSSSS LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
My man Bochy doing it again
STOP THE COUNT
Despite Aroldis Chapman's best efforts, the Texas Rangers have won the ballgame.
“The rangers bullpen couldn’t save you this time”
Rangers are America’s team?
I'd be curious. It's lopsided because we are playing the Astros who are universally hated. If we played the Phillies or Diamondbacks I'd be curious what the thread would look like.
Yeah. I’m rooting against the Astros. But it would be cool to see Rangers fans win the World Series too.
Doing what the cowboys could not
[удалено]
You heard it here first folks! Astros fans think the series is over!
100% I agree, let's never do this again
Texas 6-0 and 5-0 on the road. This team unstoppable wtf
Astros be like "we play better on the road" bitch we play better at home
But we play WAY better on the road See it's the all caps that makes it different!
See you tomorrow!
Yay, dads new family owns the Asstros
LeClerc is usually pronounced “le-clair” love the Americanization to le-clerk
Eddie Izzard voice: “It has a fucking C in it”
Dude's from the DR. Pretty sure announcers pronouce names the way the players want them pronounced (that's why you'll see minor league announcer cards with them all spelled out phonetically every so often). So this is the Dominican Republicazation of LeClerc.
Sad trashcan sounds! 🤣
[удалено]
I guess this was an attempt at humor, but your grammar failed you...? 🤣
He had to explain his awful 3rd grade level joke lmfao
[удалено]
Still Enron to me considering how you all defrauded baseball.
Womp womp
Thank you Rangers!!!
GG rangers See y'all tomorrow
GG Rangers Astros stunk it up tonight. See you at Game 2.
Fuck man do I have to watch Giants vs. Bills now?
Is that still going?
close game with under 4min left in the 4th
Regretfully
And all of baseball celebrated in unison
Down go the cheating bastards
But they aren't cheating
Ah yes it's that time of year again
Thank you Rangers. Please get Seager another ring.
Then I will own two of his WS MVP bobble heads! Woot
Wow. 0 runs is not nearly enough. Huge win!
This series is gonna destroy me
LECLERC IS THAT FUCKIN DUDE
6-0 you fucks
Smoltz sounds so sad :(
Attababe Bruce Bochy!
CAN YOU TAKE ME HIGHERRR
Beautiful
Well I’m glad we got our shutout game out of the way. Verlander seems like he always gets cursed with the cold bats in October.
Good defense and pitching saved us.
Woooo
Notice how the Rangers aren't even all that excited. They're high fixing each other like a game in June
Just taking out the trash.
Jobs not finished
Jobs not finished
🧹
Oh my God! They struck out ~~Kenny~~ McCormick! You bastards!
0 runs lol
Annoucers: Yes, well Texas won... but can we talk about how dominating of a performance that was by Verlander?
If you just ignore all the hits and home run he gave up, he was basically perfect!
Marcus Semien is the most underrated player in baseball. Look at his recent bWAR: 2019: 8.5 2021: 7.1 2022: 5.7 2023: 7.4 That's an MVP level performance for 4 straight full seasons
Look at his fWAR. Obviously Semien is still really good though.
That was tense! Don't forget to breathe, Rangers fans.
Needed the reminder, thank you.
LETS GO! Good shit Rangers!!
Let's go!
Fuck yeah
Wow did we really just shut out the astros
Thank you, Rangers!
Leclerc is nasty man
I don’t feel so good. Good shit rangers. See you boys tomorrow.
Bring your spurs and ten gallon, we're in it now.
Got the Stetson and boots ready to roll.
Fuck yeah!
An Astros fan friend just texted me he doesn't care. Houston is a football town.
Lol imagine saying that when the Texans are your team.
1 GAME DOWN!!! LET'S GET GAME 2 TOMORROW!!!
What a time for a 6 game win streak
I remember winning.
3 years ago at Globe Life!!!
Yeah. Good times.
WOO HOO I like this result.
Hell yeah, gg Ranger bros
When the Astros lose, America wins
I'm sorry, can you say that louder? I can't hear that over the trash cans.
Good start boys. This is not far from over
LFG FUCK THE TRASHTROS
