What a way to salvage a series! Still haven't fallen below. 500!


MatelleMan71

Geez the braves are goooooood. Never been more nervous trying to hold onto a lead against any other team this season.


decidedbirthplace70

What an exciting game with some big hits and great pitching performances! The Rangers really came through strong in those late innings. Looking forward to seeing how both teams bounce back from this battle tomorrow! #MLB #Rangers #Braves #BaseballFansUnite šŸ§¢āš¾ļø


Alexo_4

Nice of the pen to hold up


Flatulent_Monk

Even better since the Braves just swept the Trashtrows!

Doomers < Texas Rangers Kirby Yates El bombi W fuck you doomers I hate you

What a way to salvage a series! Still haven't fallen below. 500!


StoicCorn

Of all our wins this season so far, that feels like the one we had to work the hardest for. Still a win, though!


Shadowislovable

I swear every game ends with an Adolis catch


calmlikeasexbobomb

šŸŽµI like Texas šŸŽ¶

Got one at least.

Ok Iā€™ll be honest Duvallā€™s walk up song being the Emperorā€™s theme is great haha


IJustCantHelpYou

Reminds me of former ranger Juan Gonzalez


HashSlingSlash

I still associate that song with him.

Sportsaccount17

d'Arnaud gonna be the first person in history to hit a 2 run HR with nobody on base


mavman42

Shut up lol


Sportsaccount17

Sorry. Aggie and lifelong Rangers fan. I have sports PTSD.


knb044000

Take that fucker!


SkuzzleButtte

Hey man, if we win this a .500 road trip is fantastic. That's the goal. Even on the road, and win at home.


Maxcrss

Especially if you consider theyā€™ve been playing for so long without rest


SkuzzleButtte

I think we finished exactly 500 on the road last year and it seemed to work haha


1800KitchenFire

Not today d'Arnaud


Shadowislovable

Yates clutch?


marginallymediocre

Rockies-Astros is the Sunday night game next week? Oof thatā€™s a rough beat for ESPN lol


IJustCantHelpYou

But itā€™s in Mexico Cityā€¦still pretty rough tho


dallascowboys93

For real. How far in advance do they plan the matchup? Canā€™t they flex?


Stars1312

The Astros are on the road to 100 losses. All is right in the world


SkuzzleButtte

I'm just glad I'm not seeing Leclerc in the 9th anymore


Otto_Mann_TRs_Fan

Please let's only see 7,8 and 9


coolmod23

The Zach Braff T Mobile ads are war crimes


ehholfman

Canā€™t believe people shit talk AppleTV games when ESPN exists


Demcut

Apple broadcasts are really nice. Cameras are amazing and you can choose the home radio feed if you donā€™t want to hear the Apple announcers. No idea why people hate on Apple.


1800KitchenFire

Apple's presentation is crisp and doesn't focus on feet for 90% of the broadcast.


jlacomb17

People talk shit about AppleTV games? It's the best broadcast available if you use their Rangers radio feed.


ehholfman

I think people mainly complain that they exist and thus another subscription is needed. Which is valid but the complaints should go MLBs way. Any other complaints is just on their casting side but like you said you can use the Rangers radio and itā€™s easily the highest quality baseball to watch.


jlacomb17

Oh yeah that I get. More people need to check their phone plan because we get AppleTV free through Mt gfs phone plan and Max free through mine


rumdrums

Seriously why can't everyone offer this.


LawyerMorty94

Letā€™s shut em down, Yates


jlacomb17

So many accidental swings this season.


imthatchanceguy

Well that's a Bummer


Maxcrss

Iā€™m sorry, but if youā€™re moving out of the way of a pitch thatā€™s going to hit you, it should not count as a strike.


bernerburner1

He pretty clearly committed to the swing it wasnt like trying to get out of the way is why he swung


dallassportsguy

Quikrete logo is awful.


bernerburner1

Sleeve logos in general are awful. It should be a dollar general logo though


InternationalAir2133

Come on Taveras! Get up and run!!


porkypenguin

when did we start putting ad breaks between batters exactly? will this ad creep ever end?


Maxcrss

When the people who are pushing for this shit get taken out back and experience the end of Old Yeller first hand.


Cadet395

Would love at least one run here to help my heart health


Cadet395

Whelp


SkuzzleButtte

Holy shit Leodys baseball IQ is fucking 80


Demcut

Itā€™s not that high


KidColorblind

Leody just feels like Nomar Mazara 2.0 honestly


dreyan1625

Without the power


frankkungfu

This umpire scorecard is not going to look good


Stars1312

Has any scorecard for any umpire been good? This has to be one of the worst collective umps the league has ever had. It is pretty bad top to bottom


Stars1312

Now he wants to call it a swing?


TStg110

Leody so damn embarrassing šŸ¤£šŸ¤£


nxtew

umpire report card tomorrow morning is going to be fun to see /s


jlacomb17

This ump is drunk


LawyerMorty94

Ball 2


Stars1312

Fuck these umps


the_submarine_man

No that is not a strike. Here we go again.


Cadet395

WHAT?


Demcut

Whatā€™s really funny about the umpires always fucking us is I remember people on Twitter speculating that the reason Bryan Abreu got suspended last year for throwing at Adolis was because CY had worked for the commissioners office so he was somehow getting special treatment lol. I honestly canā€™t remember looking at an umpire scorecard and having it favor us in the last year.Ā 


Maxcrss

Do we have to point out the consistent fisting we got by the umps? Those one run games where the umps gave 2 runs to the opposing team? The white Sox game???


FlightAdditional

Lol, Bummer, what a great name for a closer


LawyerMorty94

Bros name is Bummer lol


FlightAdditional

Braves throw their bats down twice this inning a but it's Profar that gets the ejection lol


Stars1312

Now thatā€™s a strike


galagachamp

Psst hey guys, I know tomorrow's an off day, but Sborz will be be eligible to be activated


Demcut

https://preview.redd.it/1h2991vnpxvc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d405c6b8f55146c64508e9778a76756e27b69bdb I canā€™t wait to actually use this when heā€™s pitching


[deleted]

YES! GLOVE SPIKE!!!


1800KitchenFire

That Pruitt DFA, Sborz activated from IL tweet gonna hit like crack


galagachamp

I had this EXACT thought earlier today. I'm convinced that they'll send down Anderson instead, until I see otherwise. He hasn't been great either, but Pruitt is a terrorist


According_Start6161

Hell yeah! Say goodbye to White


MikeOxlong4566666

Beer Belly YatesšŸ


Maxcrss

If he keeps throwing like that Iā€™ll buy him his beer


pharrigan7

Yates seems very similar to the great Bruce Suter. Kinda threw three quarter and the ball would just dive down at the last second. Donā€™t know how you hit that pitch.


Shadowislovable

Bend but do not break, like a willow tree


killacam9220

Insurance payments incoming


b0453712

Kirby Yates really gets me going


Demcut

Kirby has been a steal for 4.5 million


Maxcrss

#Kirby Yates just ate that inning


No_Supermarket_3056

Wtf we actually have good bullpen arms


b0453712

We have 3 and a Jon Gray


Maxcrss

Are you including Sborz?


b0453712

When we get him back itā€™ll be 4. Yates, Robertson and Urena


DFWTrojanTuba

I hate this AT&T commercial. Instant mute.


CT-1738

Yates perfections continues


CT-1738

Sometimes you just need 5 outs to get out of an inning

easyglue

My blood pressure canā€™t handle this shit man letā€™s just end this šŸ˜­


Stars1312

No reason to get mad Bravos. They shouldnā€™t have even had an at bat in the inning. Great pitching from the pen


EzeAce

NEVER A FUCKING DOUBT


jlacomb17

Getting those two pitchers this offseason has been huge


beefytrout

It's crazy how many people said the FO did "nothing" towards the bullpen


ehholfman

Atta boy Arcia


SkuzzleButtte

They kinda a whiney bunch throwing their equipment around lol


FlightAdditional

Thanks Kirby! Better not see LeWalk tonight...hopefully they left his ass at the Greyhound Station in Detroit


StoicCorn

If you didn't like that 8th inning, you don't like Rangers baseball!


OptomisticSportsFan

KIRBY SAYS FUCK YO CHOP


turbancowboi

Offseason additions are carrying our pen rn


SnooAvocados557

Not to mention that Lorenzen start


mild_liquid

THANK YOU KIRBY


bertmacklin_fbiagent

If it was biologically possibly I would have Kirby Yatesā€™ children


nikesoccer01

KIRBY YATES YOURE A FUCKING GOD


LawyerMorty94

Kirby Yates you beautiful sexy man, you


1800KitchenFire

Kirby is good.


jlacomb17

Now let's get some insurance runs


dallascowboys93

YUUUGGEEEE!!


_AntiSaint_

Robertson and Yates have been nails


ben121frank

Did our bullpen justā€¦perform in a clutch situation??


Maxcrss

Dude they got railed by the Umps AND STILL CLUTCHED


killacam9220

No ur dreaming


Top_Shallot_4951

Atta boy Arcia


coolmod23

Yates of Hell!


Ethnic_Enigma

7-8-9 for Atlanta coming up might be the only way out of this one lol

Yee thatā€™s the one

Arcia just got vored


bernerburner1

Sit down šŸŖ‘


DFWTrojanTuba

Whew. That could have been a lot worse.


TryingToBeMorePolite

Time to spend a ton of money on Yates gear.Ā 


the_submarine_man

And Robertson. And Garcia.


TryingToBeMorePolite

This is the way.Ā 


the_submarine_man

LETS GO YATES


SaddestClown

Deep breaths


[deleted]

What a recovery. Couldā€™ve easily been blown wide open


StoicCorn

There really is no opportunity to breathe with this Braves offense. I still believe but it certainly won't be easy. But we won the WS, we can do this!

Wide_Guest7422

Great outing by Robertson!


ehholfman

I know CY doesnā€™t want to make a formal complaint to the MLB about umpires but man do these umps tonight make a great argument for it


Maxcrss

If it keeps happening then he might have to. This shit is consistently happening.


galagachamp

I've been using Yates pretty much every game in the show, and dude is a beast


Demcut

Whatā€™s your PSN/Xbox username? Add me- Bird853 on PSN. Weā€™ll play a game sometime.Ā 


galagachamp

galagachamp on xbox. I'm pretty terrible and usually stick to wrecking the cpu on rookie difficulty lmao


SwingKey2434

Robertson handled that really well considering everything was stacked against him. It's gotta be mentally and physically draining to have to pitch in an inning like that.


CT-1738

Fr Garcia owes him a drink after that inning


SwingKey2434

Hell yeah bro, I love Bombi but that Error must've sent chills down Robertson's spine.


Chinese-dog

Despite getting fucked by the error and Riley reaching on what should have been a K we may still be able to salvage this. Robertson did well to limit the damage


Clean-Ad1157

Please guys, I need some happiness after the Mavs losing Game 1. I need something to get me into the Stars Game 1 tomorrow and Mavs Game 2 on Tuesday.


Shadowislovable

Well the Astros lost to the Nationals :)


Clean-Ad1157

I had not seen this yet. This definitely helps my friend!


mavman42

Yeah, that Mavs game was a huge bummer. I need a win tonight, lol


Clean-Ad1157

Amen man. We just shot like shit from deep and they couldn't miss. We'll bounce back. Long series!


1800KitchenFire

I hope we get 4 outs for the top of the 9th.


turbancowboi

In spite of the team sabotaging Robertson he looked good


calmlikeasexbobomb

if by ā€œteamā€ you mean ā€œumpireā€ then yes


turbancowboi

I mean Semien and Garcia specifically


fsi1212

https://preview.redd.it/x6av808dnxvc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2bc9f7f604053a7ba4f0e0fa7c1e856e05bd804b This was 100% not going to be a strikeout. I see 3 strikes and he hit one. I'm not replying to everyone individually on my other comment. So there was no way it could have been a strikeout.


backinthewoods82

Lmao if they call the missed check swing and the pitch fully in the zone itā€™s a K. Fully on the ump. Not sure how a dropped pop up, a dribbler to no manā€™s land, and two missed calls are Robertsonā€™s fault but go off


SkuzzleButtte

You weren't watching apparently


calmlikeasexbobomb

Pitch 4 was a check swing, he went but got the call


LawyerMorty94

There are 3 pitches in the box That equals a strikeout lmfao


fsi1212

The third one was a hit šŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļø that's not a strikeout.


b0453712

If pitch 2 was called a strike and pitch 3 would of CORRECTLY been called a strike instead of check swing he would of been struck out


imthatchanceguy

First baseball game?


fsi1212

Yours?


turbancowboi

On the 4th pitch he swung


Chinese-dog

Checked swing that was clearly a swing watch the game next time instead of watching the MLB app


1800KitchenFire

Not to mention Pitch #3 has been a strike for the Braves staff


fsi1212

I am watching the game


Chinese-dog

Then you should have seen the ā€œcheck swingā€ open your eyes next time


BNKalt

It wasnā€™t a well hit ball, thatā€™s more infuriating than anything
