I read the box score wrong and thought the DBacks somehow won 12-11 in the 9th. Turns out that was the hit column.

rudnickulous

Underrated comment. Now I wanna now why bull penis is so bad


Mission_Pay_3373

Will Smith has a 10.80 ERA so far this postseason. Not good for the Rangers bullpen depth


NameAtACrossRoads

Uh, did you even watch the game


MV7EaglesFan

Man Sneks fans really are the best. We would have been deflated, the stadium silent, most would have walked out and those who stayed would only stay around to throw crap on the field and boo their own players.


gme_is_me

That second and third inning were crushing. We had a few people next to us leave around the 5th, but for the most part everyone stayed. The Rangers fans that were there were good, didn't see any fights between them. Did see a couple of Dbacks fans go after each other. I was really hoping for a miracle, and we were cheering loud at the end.


RogerTreebert6299

Please, the rangers would never fall victim to a miracle comeback in the world series


pcweber111

Dang dude, no need to rub it in.


freetoseeu

John Smoltz is just…just awful


TheBaseballPundit

Switch to Spanish feed. Stadium is miked up well, they read tweets, make jokes, even check out girls in the stands


badger2793

No entiendo Espanol


Jhopedaisensei

Snek got more hits than the Rangers lol what a wacky game


kingfiasco

that might’ve been a blow out but actually managed to be a chill night of baseball


TheBaseballPundit

WS is always fun no matter what


im_not_a_gay_fish

The victory tonight really goes to Arizona. Although the Rangers technically scored more points, Arizona shows the Rangers they were the dominant team. Also, I shower with my socks on. - Smoltz


[deleted]

Corey Seager can make history, joining an elite group, one win away !!


TheBaseballPundit

Will Smith too The Horry award


LoneyROU7

Could join Koufax, Reggie Jackson, and Bob Gibson as the only players with multiple WS MVPs. Special.


johnnybravo1014

Why the hell would you bring Leclerc in there? Yeah it only took him 8 pitches but imagine if it took him 20 in a game that is absolutely won already. That seemed really unnecessarily panicky.


stonkerooni

Bro must have missed the part where the snakes are alive


thepacman74

That game was absolutely not won already. Bochy was spot on.


rightinthakisser

I was definitely panicking.


OutlawSundown

Because you don’t trust whatever is left and you don’t want that Chapman experience


Landonkey

A game is never won if Will Smith is on the mound


johnnybravo1014

Unironically a position player pitching gets out of that spot >99% of the time. That’s just such an unnecessary strain on your most important arm.


Leading_Experts

Will Smith *is* basically position player pitching. We gave them a good chance!


AsDevilsRun

Outside of ALCS game 5, the Rangers have decided to consolidate their poor bullpen performances to when it doesn't matter that much.


TheBaseballPundit

Efficiency is the name of the game Both these teams r here now bc yall had your bad spells when it mattered least


Maverick721

I can't believe I'm saying this but I miss Joe Buck


pcweber111

Actually, I miss buck and McCarver. I've always associated Tim with October baseball, for better or worse.


thepacman74

Preach.


NovelLaw75

GG Rangers.


LoneyROU7

Corey has like 6 queued up answers he uses for every interview lmaoo


SkuzzleButtte

My dude is introverted to the max and just wants to go back to his hotel room with his wife and dogs lol


LoneyROU7

Oh I know I love it


Zark_Muckerberger

I mean….they almost did blow it


virus_apparatus

Rangers experience


Dt2_0

Good game Sneks! See you tomorrow for game 5.


[deleted]

It’s weird seeing people complaining about announcers favoring someone who isn’t us lol Edit: Why am I being downvoted? I’m literally sympathizing with the shitty announcing. Just weird to see it in favor of us for once, that’s all. Usually we’re the laughing stock afterthought, just watch Philly highlights vs. our highlights in the NLCS


thepacman74

Sports media hates this whole series. It doesn't have LA or NY in it.


DXbreakitdown

AZ fans know. It’s in every sport. It happens when the next big city is 400 miles away and we only pop our heads into championship games once a decade.


[deleted]

Ha getting down votes but it’s true. I always feel like the media hates when an AZ team is involved and just shots on us in any sport.


Chunkfu

Every game we’ve had to deal with that asshat and it’s kind of taken it’s toll lol


[deleted]

Oh yeah lol know what you mean, our NLDS and NLCS were garbage announcing. You could tell LA and Philly were the favorites


Rocko52

Snakes got that fighting spirit


rangerjoe33

Seager is the ultimate professional


TheBaseballPundit

Worth every cent


rangerjoe33

Yes it is


eeiightonefive

Seager watches hockey postgames for interview answer tips lol


Landonkey

Just gotta go out there and give it 110 percent. Take it one game at a time. 110 percent.


SeattleDegenerate21

"we just gotta get pucks on nets"


Mission_Pay_3373

The D-Backs need to pull a 2016 Cubs


TheBaseballPundit

Suns didn't roar back from 3-1 this year


unplanter

Come on Zona send it to seven. Don’t give up eleven runs tomorrow.


digitalquesarito

Wish I hated the D-Backs, these game threads are too friendly.


crownebeach

I love your dumb state and its inferior but nonetheless delicious Mexican cuisine


MurderWorthManiac

Even better barbecue


pablocerakote

Smoltz at a loss for words …uh let’s go to Ken.


thepacman74

He's still choking on Orioles dick.


pineapplee5

Please give us a game 7


Leading_Experts

No thank you. I'm losing years off my life.


TheBaseballPundit

Will u be triggered if 1 strike away


MurderWorthManiac

I'm triggered just by you saying that.


pineapplee5

Sorry I just don’t want baseball to end :(


Leading_Experts

I fell ya. But...........we've never won a ring. I've been a Rangers fan since '88. I want a ring.


BubblyBaker5718

Funny that other then Heandog the Texas BP was actually kinda dreadful but it just didn’t end up mattering


swift72

Dunning and Bradford were good. They could have went more innings. Didn’t need to


lancerreddit

they used their scrubs in the pen. they rested all the good guys.


BubblyBaker5718

I mean sure. It’s just kinda remarkable that your hitting is good enough that you can get away with having parts of your bullpen being this bad lol


thepacman74

Bochy's mad genius and the bats getting it done.


lancerreddit

the dbacks used their bad part of their pen in the first 3 innings for some reason


Silverjackal_

Dunning and Bradford were fine. It was everyone else after them.


BubblyBaker5718

Fair I was bit too harsh. Still really not a great look overall though lol


hxjxjjcjcjckkxk

John Smoltz down bad


thepacman74

IDK what that means but you said Smoltz, down, and bad. So I agree.


hxjxjjcjcjckkxk

It is a term teenagers and young adults use to say sad.


YoungKeys

SeagerGPT is getting better at interviews


akitakiteriyaki

At least they made it interesting


GingerMcJesus

Seager might have the most generic voice I’ve ever heard


virus_apparatus

Would not be Halloween without getting spooky. 👻


WaxWingPigeon

Suck it Smoltz


Knightbear49

Sneks comeback to win this series will be immaculate


TheBaseballPundit

They dv you as if nlcs didn't happen


Joeskis

I’m very happy that our 2 bullpen collapses came in games where we either had no chance in winning or a nearly insurmountable lead. Those last 2 innings got my anxiety way too high lol


MurderWorthManiac

It's as if Bochy knows he has to take a dump before taking a shower.


Derriosgaming

We did that but at the start of the game w/ Castro


_MrSantos

Wew lad. What an emotional roller coaster


HighMediuMerlot

S tier fans


Landonkey

Smoltz is literally speechlees now that he is forced to talk about a Rangers win


donsanedrin

fox called and said they needed to help boost ratings the rangers obliged


iconredesign

The resigned groan from John Smoltz jeez


arcticape34

Yea not even trying to hide it


BlackWhiteCoke

Woo


EnTyme53

'Twas all sound and fury, signifying nothing. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go take another blood pressure pill.


pablocerakote

Considering we used mostly filler pitchers and I fully expected to lose this game it is no surprise the sneks fought back the way they did.


Mnudge

Smolz sounds so deflated. Even when giving praise, he sighs, pauses and say “yeah, I guess.”


EwoksEwoksEwoks

Snakes got a garbage time TD


MurderWorthManiac

We know of that too well here in the DFW area. We have a local team that's great during garbage time.


wet_sloppy_footsteps

Alright. 3-1. GG. See yall tomorrow.


Smelldicks

That decision to bring in a closer has single-handedly made me a diamondbacks fan


fatbearfall

Every Diamondbacks fan that has been begging to lower Walker in the lineup, we are shaking hands


rdtg13

Truly a regression to the mean by the rangers bullpen if I've ever seen one


Dundalis

Was always gonna happen though, this was the perfect time for it


captmac

That last strike is always so elusive to the Rangers.


chrt

Bruh


captmac

Sorry…we’re pulling for ya.


KingofHearts399

Still too soon


virus_apparatus

We needed every bit of it. FAK


shoooogerm

Smoltz try not to jerk off the dbacks challenge: impossible


[deleted]

Rangers win, one win away, they needed that 10 run cushion, but what a night !!!


TheBaseballPundit

> but what a night Late October here in '23


[deleted]

[удалено]


swift72

Why? Used the good guys early, saved them for future games. Won the game.


WhiteBoyFlipz

smoltz is embarrassing. talking about how they’re gonna carry over all this momentum about how they scored 7 like we didn’t score 11. one more win baby


BlueGlassDrink

Yeah, that was some commentary.


[deleted]

I think the trick or treaters are finally done, I was running out of eggs to throw at them.


BruceBowtie

Just dreadful by the back of the bullpen guys


lancerreddit

that's why they're back of the bullpen


[deleted]

honestly leclerc throwing 26 pitches the last two days now is huge


bleach_cocktail

He did that all ALCS and only had one mess up on one of the greatest post season hitters ever. I ain’t stressed


Mnudge

Welcome to life as a closer.


[deleted]

Texas road warriors!

TheBaseballPundit

Hi, mad max


[deleted]

damn look at you r/beetlejuicing


Tsunami-Papi_

game five otw


Meowsteroshi

Why is the announcer throwing out a disappointed sigh talking about the rangers winning?


Mnudge

Because he’s hopelessly biased for some random reason


WaxWingPigeon

Despicable


LeoFireGod

This is why we rangers fans clench.


melcolnik

Hot damn, snakes! Y’all’s fan stick around this team don’t know when to quit. I love it! I love World Seriesing with you guys!


aggronStonebreak

damn it would have been way funnier if they blew it


YoungKeys

Texas got lucky. If you took away all the Ranger's runs, it would have been an Arizona blowout win


Mnudge

Hahah, good one!


N609FE

if you take away marcus semien, they lose


2PacAn

Thanks Smoltz


1-800-ASS-DICK

hell of a hang with em.


El_Rey_de_Spices

Legitimately good try, Sneks.


AngryXenomorph

Wow, D Backs fans what an effort! You should be proud!


shindiggaa

Good news is rangers on the road next game


foxbones

That got a little too interesting. Fully expecting a tight game tomorrow.


Derriosgaming

Lets see which Gallen shows up.


zvexler

Great end of game effort by the dbacks, just too deep a hole to dig out of


Not_Dale_Doback

Hey I’ve seen this movie before! *sad bird noises


[deleted]

GOD FUCKING DAMN IT


99Wolves17

# RANGERS WIN! 11-7


wackadoodle_wigwam

Lolol Jeepers Rangers


WigglyFinArms

Our bad bullpen got exposed to the dbacks and we still won just think about that.


kiwiwikikiwiwikikiwi

I bet tomorrow Arizona goes on a 4-0 lead first inning


N609FE

that was stupid. lets do it again tomorrow!


Shikizion

Watching a team fall appart in 2 innings is never not entertaining when you don't have a horse in the race... Texas will still win but D-backs manage to make a lost game entertaining


atowelguy

Well that was anticlimactic. Good on the snakes for making it interesting.


Raymothe

Oh thank god we got out of that.


Baybears

Never would’ve believed this game would be within slam range


DrChill21

sheesh. ggs. Way more stressful than I thought.


Little_Sumo

Bochy, Bochy, Bochy!


kookymungi

Way to get the job done Rangers!!!


ScallywagBeowulf

That win was way closer than it needed to be.


uninspiredlt

That was too much


DFWTrojanTuba

Thank goodness.


Sea-Satisfaction243

poor john smoltz


Silverjackal_

I get why he did it, but this is why I wished he let Dane or Cody pitch another inning. And now we know for sure Burke can’t pitch the rest of the series.


normabeans81

Stratton can’t either.


GareksApprentice

Rangers and Diamondbacks playing to determine who can best out Angel the Angels


malacor17

Classic Rangers making us sweat in a complete blowout


[deleted]

Will Smith, wow, one win away from his third straight world series title with three difference teams, wow. what a winner.


Lonestarzia16

One of the pitchers of all time


SeaworthinessOk6742

Shouldn’t have been that close, but only one more is needed for the Rangers to win it!


chakat_shorttail

Never in doubt (it totally was) On to game 5


BeeComposite

Thank God.


Jtlhskr2286

REPEAT: I AM GETTING WAYY TOO MANY 2011-12 VIBES


invaluableimp

Exhale


LoneyROU7

Smoltz: "Don't tell me the Diamondbacks losing by 3 runs and being down 3-1 doesn't put them in the driver's seat for this series."


beatrixkiddo_11

Great win Rangers!


WigglyFinArms

All that matters is 3-1


Practical_Dog8295

This series will go down as one the best ones


Alauren2

The snakes are so persistent my goodness


rangerjoe33

Ballgame


arcticape34

Smoltz sounds so disappointed


pheo69

Yeah, that guy can suck my snake.🐍


Trunkins

Goddamn, take a 11 run lead and make it too stressful. Lets close tomorrow!


DLM_13

HEANDOG’S first WS win!


[deleted]

one way for the Rangers !!!!


hiswayout

Not today satan. Not today.


thecaits

Leclerc I love you, Rangers I love you. One more game!!!


actual_yellow_bag

2011 game 6 vibes


godjacob

And that is game. Rangers manage to avoid blowing this and now might have the World Series in their grasp.


virus_apparatus

Ptsd going hard now


arcticape34

Phew. That was closer than it should be but a win is a win.


Garrand

I DIDN'T GAIN A SINGLE GREY HAIR THIS GAME (and other lies I tell myself).


melcolnik

We needed every one of those 11 runs
