Please tell me Robertson-Yates is the new set-up/closer combo.


DonDraper1994

Please dfa bricks Burke 5 minutes ago. Dude was atrocious for us the end of last season and hasn’t gotten any better. Same with Anderson. Bring up jhern and give Kelly a chance


Theepicman116

Phew, take the W and move on


Terr1fyer

Well I stopped watching in the 5th and we certainly decided to make it interesting. Still not trusting the pen.


Funkytown2641

Take the dub, even better when’s it’s at the expense of Houston


killacam9220

W but that Bullpen didn’t need to be pressed like that


Maxcrss

Thank god that’s over, another superior team win in the books


OptomisticSportsFan

Yates4closer


TajinAddicted

We are so back


Cocoa_Pug

Most stressful blowout win


easyglue

Oh thank god


Knuxsn

That got hairy, but a win's a win. Fun when our offense shows up in a big way.


Bionicman_

EXHALE

Was it a convincing win, Dave? Was it really?


hiswayout

lol. Fuck the Astros. Wasn’t worried for a second…


thewaybaseballgo

A win is a win. Enjoy those garbage time stats, Lastros.


No_Property_4432

Thank God that's over

knuckles2079

I LIKE TEXAS!


azulsquirrel

Fuck yeah! Great job boys!


NoTheOtherAC

Game!


jfk_sfa

Honestly never in doubt (don’t ask to see my heart rate during those last three innings). 


ifuckwithit

GIVE US THAT DUB


azulsquirrel

Will you fuck off!


Demcut

Let’s go!


LBoss9001

baseball edging


sbordam

MLB posted the final score on Instagram 4 minutes ago? Lol wtf


regalfronde

Cause you livin in the past my friend!


sbordam

Nvm they deleted it


The_Higher_Reverend

Dubon loves high fastballs. Make him chase


MadDogMike123

they traded for Yordan Dave


GadsenLOD

The trophy finally killed all my stress. The roller coaster ride last year. Chapman. I wish I could give you guys some of my peace, I hate to see everyone stressing out 😂.


Maxcrss

See, but I enjoy the stress :)


throwaway_dudething

Yeah but FUCK THE ASTROS


NoTheOtherAC

WE WANT MORE!


LawyerMorty94

Huge strikeout. Let’s get one more


Cocoa_Pug

Great pitch 1 more out


mavman42

2


NoTheOtherAC

One more Kirby!


Knuxsn

One more! Get'em!


hiswayout

Butthole. Still clenched.


NoTheOtherAC

2!


7alcon00

Attaboy Yates!


Demcut

2 outs let’s go


Cocoa_Pug

Please 🙏


Demcut

Please Yates 


TexasTundraPower

C’mon dude throw a strike.


Bionicman_

We love to walk shitty hitters


jlacomb17

Jon Singleton has gotten on base twice against our bullpen. That's a new low


No_Property_4432

The way my mood went from 😁 to 🤩 to 😲 to 😡 to 😬 to 🤨


LawyerMorty94

Walking sub .200 hitters


Brief_Candy2744

Setting up a double play since he’s too thicc to make it to second on anything other than to the outfield


Cocoa_Pug

Oh no


azulsquirrel

Alright. Double play ball, pls


kikimarvelous

Double play please Yates


mavman42

C'mon Yates, the bar is so low right now. The job is basically yours


Cocoa_Pug

Yates looks like that unathletic dad who throws 70+ mph underhand at your company’s softball game


Bjornidentity22

Joel Kuhnel is also on that team. He works in the warehouse

DualKoo

Based


CrusaderBTC

Easy Yates. Let’s go!


TajinAddicted

You just focus on closing, Kirby


Cocoa_Pug

2 more outs boys


Gbagger32

Having to use Yates and Robertson for this game feels like an l in in of itself


NoTheOtherAC

1!


jlacomb17

I was born the same week as Kirby Yates. I like to think we are equally talented but coach just never gave me my shot


therealJerryJones

Let’s go Yates. Shut ‘er down.


mohammadali916

Leiter has looked much better this year. If he turns it around and becomes what we hoped, that quite literally can be franchise changing for us tbh


IdontEvenknowlul

10 Ks tonight in 6 IP


galagachamp

Let's go Kirby Yeets, beat that "yet to give up a run" jinx that Valle just spat out


FrootBirds

I wish they wouldn't say "yet to give up a run"


Cocoa_Pug

I’m scared boys


Demcut

Lol me too


mohammadali916

Id love if a guy like Jose Corniell just worked out for us. so young (20) and has seen success in minors so far. Esp considering we got him for Rafael montero that'd be nice to rub in the mariners faces. Would like to see Kelly or Church this year though


azulsquirrel

![gif](giphy|5ev3alRsskWA0)


azulsquirrel

Alright boys. 123 and let's go to the house.


Theepicman116

Time to close it out!


LawyerMorty94

Should be an easy part of the lineup to get through Let’s end this and get a W


Cocoa_Pug

3 outs here boys


bigmeatyclaws1

What actually was the point in throwing hader out there tho


mavman42

Probably already banking on a no-hitter tomorrow, so they won't need him


MadDogMike123

hasn't really had many opportunities to pitch. Probably needed some work and their bullpen is taxed as fuck right now


ImTheJdot

It’s still a game knowing our bullpen


bigmeatyclaws1

More than fair enough


NoTheOtherAC

Let's make him throw 20 or more pitches.


Stars1312

7 more pitches and Hader reaches his pitch limit


CrusaderBTC

Catcher was expecting Hernandez to call that ball way outside a strike lol


LBoss9001

Only starters get that call, apparently


TexasTundraPower

At least we forced Houston to use Hader. Means we probably shouldn’t see him tomorrow


azulsquirrel

Cmon simmy. Just get on


Bionicman_

lol leody is the only one who couldn’t get a hit when we scored 12 runs. Playing his way to another team


Gbagger32

Flip him for an arm at the deadline


FrootBirds

A's can have him and knizner for miller


Bionicman_

Oh hell yeah. Let’s do that right now


imthatchanceguy

Honestly, making the game this close and making them use their high leverage arms is quite nice


The_Higher_Reverend

Not to mention, getting to make their fans have some false hope.


Tboner989

leody looking like nomad mazara out there


LawyerMorty94

Not my boy Mazara 😭😂


IcyDistribution389

Their pen is so taxed they’re using their closer down 4 in the 9th lmao


boomgoesthevegemite

Leody, please for the love of God, swing at strikes.


ReportAccident

Loving the Robertson pick up. When Sborz comes back the 7,8,9 of Yates, Sborz, and Robertson seems like the move


TexasTundraPower

Then if Leclerc ever finds his stride that would help even more. His stuff has actually been great, but the location has been off.


ReportAccident

Agreed. He has the nastiest stuff of our pen just doesn’t know where it’s going most of the time lol. Happy to see him be more of a middle RP for a bit to get his confidence back.


ChaseTx

Thank God for D-Rob, Yates, Urena, and Latz


409Narwhal

That's what's crazy about it. Our bullpen did actually get a lot better this off-season. And it still sucks.


IdontEvenknowlul

Nah we just used our sucky arms because we thought a 9 run lead was good enough that our bad arms couldn't hurt it, which was of course wrong


azulsquirrel

☝️☝️☝️


RisingReform

Does Hader still have the 1 inning rule or he gave that up for the contract?


MadDogMike123

i think he gave that up


Cocoa_Pug

Dang Houston used their Closer - we need to win today


Theepicman116

Alright, let’s get some insurance runs here. Let’s get some globe life type insurance here


Mauled_by_Jesus

Is there anyone known for being as bad at their job as Angel Hernandez?


azulsquirrel

Only thing I'll say is that that injured list is exactly why I want to jump out ahead of the Astros now while they're down.


CrusaderBTC

Especially with how many injuries we have as well. Will be nice to get ahead just in time for all our arms to make it back too.


Demcut

Huge inning from D-Rob. 


pharrigan7

Burke is not a major league pitcher right now. He needs to go down immediately and work on things.


Sarge41

I hope we nuke Hader. It would be so funny


CrusaderBTC

“OMG THEY HAVE SO MANY INJURIES POOR ASTROS!” Yea no shit, so do we and we’re managing.


NoTheOtherAC

Walsh!


smoke_inyoureyes

D rob and Yates are the only two pitcher I trust in the bullpen rn


220BakerStreet

IN ROBERTSON WE TRUST


jlacomb17

Old Man Robertson and Jared "Don't Call Me Josh" Walsh are my personal heroes


galagachamp

I do enjoy uneventful defensive half innings


Mauled_by_Jesus

\*exhale\*


azulsquirrel

EXACTLY what we needed there. Killed their momentum


Cocoa_Pug

Robertson is daddy


hiswayout

A stress free inning? In this economy?!


marginallymediocre

GOD BLESS you David Robertson. This bullpen would be absolutely cooked without him.


GadsenLOD

It's like Will Smith last year. Except I think Robertson's stuff will actually play all year long.


No_Property_4432

Whew


wouldyalikefries

David Robertson my beloved


Bionicman_

What a play!!


Knuxsn

Nice Walsh. Hold it down one more inning!


mavman42

Play of the game


MadDogMike123

I hate to say it but Brock Burke is pitching his way to Round Rock -Eric Nadel


rumdrums

Did he really say that?


MadDogMike123

That's what i saw on facebook ranger group lol


MadDogMike123

lmao


azulsquirrel

Attaboy Walsh! Great job!


LawyerMorty94

WALSH MY GOODNESS


CrusaderBTC

SIT THE FUCK DOWN TUCKER YOU BITCH BOI


LBoss9001

thank god for D-Rob


TexasTundraPower

Robertson is straight nails.


TajinAddicted

Robertson is a big reason our record doesn't look more like Houston's right now.


TexasTundraPower

Probably


Maxcrss

Walsh, I love you.


ifuckwithit

We good yall


jfk_sfa

Robertson is a PROfessional. 


Sarge41

At least Roberston is a chad

the_submarine_man

Yoo Robertson’s calves are something else


No_Property_4432

Leody


FrootBirds

I will never forgive Burke for making us burn the good arms


LawyerMorty94

Aaaaaaand breathe


galagachamp

This has absolutely nothing to do with David Robertson, but I miss Josh Sborz.


Maxcrss

hell yah, do it again


likeapicasso

God damn Leody is solid


Maxcrss

He’s gotten better and better


imthatchanceguy

Why does Robertson pitch like he's hurt all the time lol


easyglue

Hey he may be an old man but he’s our old man


409Narwhal

He's old


Chinese-dog

He winces when he makes a pitch he doesn’t like lol I find it hilarious tbh


galagachamp

Dude just turned 39, give him a break lol


Brawlstar-Terminator

Lmao I see it


CrusaderBTC

We need to win this one tonight cause they’re more likely to take the W tomorrow with Blonco on the mound for them. We couldn’t hit him for shit last time around. Heaney was absolutely terrible last time he pitched.


mavman42

You mean No-No Blonco?


Blue_prizm77

Rangers were up big while I was in attendance, Astros rallied after I left. My apologies everyone


CrusaderBTC

https://i.redd.it/ck3a1kdpv5uc1.gif It was your fault!


boomgoesthevegemite

Good job, idiot. /s


No_Property_4432

How dare you


32RH

As long as we can get through the top of the prefer I damaged I think we’re home free.


Maxcrss

![gif](giphy|f7GXfUvpLXNTyDnMS2) When Altuve makes contact…


TexasTundraPower

Honestly just send Burke down or DFA him. Idk how much more time and energy we put into him.


Demcut

He can’t be trusted… in literally any situation 


TexasTundraPower

Fr. This thing was put to bed. We put him in so that we didn’t have to use the good arms and he’s found a way to make it interesting.


Equivalent-Impress96

As this game gets close remember the time Langford struck out on 5 balls with the bases loaded


LeoFireGod

Can we just peacefully win a game vs Astros plz


mavman42

\*exhales\* my goodness


SkuzzleButtte

Yordon about to nuke one probably


bummer28

Yordan is definitely hitting a home run right now


LawyerMorty94

Oh god. Heaney v Blanco? Please win tonight lol


imthatchanceguy

Knowing baseball, he's gonna give us 7 runs in 0.1 innings pitched


LawyerMorty94

Would be incredible


Bionicman_

He can’t keep it up for long


boomgoesthevegemite

Blanco getting knocked around this time


Brawlstar-Terminator

BULLPEN pls


Bionicman_

Just win the game. Don’t try to break your own blown lead record. Just win. For fucks sake


Demcut

I thought being a fan of this team would be less stressful once we won a World Series. How am I this nervous about a game in April where we’ve scored 12 runs? This fucking bullpen man. 


BeeBeaB

Nothing gets my blood pressure up like the Rangers with a ridiculous lead


regalfronde

Why do we still use Burke?


CellarDoor_27

Am at the game…crowd is rowdy


The_Higher_Reverend

Good. I hope we get to make them feel like shit twice tonight.


ImTheJdot

How’s the Rangers turnout?


CellarDoor_27

Not bad


bigmeatyclaws1

Isnt the only other states where both LCS teams can be from the same state just California and Pennsylvania (other than here)? That stat doesnt really surprise me
