Abject_Purpose_1678

I've been watching every game for the last month but this one got me especially fired up! Vavra, Chirinos, and Mckenna being the stars of the day got me so fired up! Go O's!!!!!!!!!


harriswk17

Attention all hands, attention all hands. Sweepers, Sweepers, man your brooms!!


LeftyRambles2413

Golden sweep.


phunnypharm

Mt Felix comes through again!!


jshokie1

NEED A BROOM


TheGoldenLance

1: Vavra 2: Rutschman 3: Henderson 4: Santander 5: Mountcastle 6: Hays 7: Westburg 8: Mullins 9: Mateo \+ Cowser and Stowers I’m ready


Elkram

Please I can only get so erect


timoumd

34 more wins to be the most improved team in baseball history.


d0nnyfromdundalk

GET OUTCHA BROOMS


methandmemes

PUT A FUCKIN BIRD ON THAT SHIT


the2belo

#THE GOLDEN BIRD IS PUT


Elkram

WHO GIVES A FUCK ABOUT A HOMERUN SWEEP SWEEP SWEEP


DMorggggg

Is that 2 homers in his last 2 appearances given up?


methandmemes

Nobody’s ERA can be 0


JC3418

Man Felix just looks so damn intimidating on that mound!


YoureUsingCoconuts

Good sweep, boys


cjackc11

lol Bautista just wanted to make them not feel so bad before completely slamming the door AND THATS A SWEEP


the2belo

Lucky shot


phunnypharm

one hit...no big deal...you've got this Felix


Jovian8

Unfortunate, but irrelevant. Bautista only needs 1 more out and he'll get it.


WillK7794

I take back what I said yesterday , the ballpark isn’t that ugly , however the camera angles are absolutely brutal


Elkram

1 solo HR ain't going to kill you with 2 outs and a 4 run lead Let's see how Bautista responds


methandmemes

Oof


YoureUsingCoconuts

Ick, no movement on that middle-middle. Doesn't matter how fast it is


JC3418

Oof shake it off King Felix


Gallen570

Doesn't matter if its 100mph. If it's down the middle, they're gonna hit it.


AlexOhanianSr

Bautistas given up a few long balls recently…


MealApprehensive2361

I loved Lopez this year but lately I’ve felt so much more at ease with Bautista on the mound Edit: I am sorry that was 100% my fault


austinhannah

That homerun not withstanding, I agree.


Pristine_Ad1750

Imagine being a rangers fan and getting dominated by the O’s


dwhite21787

oh I am, MUAHAHAHAH


Gallen570

Nastiest splitty going folks.


Inexite

Those two splitters to Viloria actually aren't hittable.


fancifull

missed most of this one due to work but got home just in time to see them break the 2-2 tie, chirinos had a good day i see


methandmemes

Man Felix just tosses absolute filth


dlmay1967

I'm still in shock he gave up a homer last weekend.


dlmay1967

And as I typed this, I'm shocked again!


Jovian8

I will miss Lopez, but he sure left the Closer role in good hands.

[удалено]


Pristine_Ad1750

Would love a sweep of the pirates


Puddenfoot

Time to close out a 4-2 road trip and put a golden bird over Arlington!


phunnypharm

Mt Felix mitt eater heater coming at you NOW


Bodymore52

Great inning offense!! Chirinos Vavra Adley Santander!! Great clutch shit! Now bullpen time to shut this down for 3rd straight and season high 3 games over 500 and stay 1.5 back and make buster onley look dumb and say more dumb shit about us.


OsGameThreads

### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Felix Bautista replaces Cionel Perez.


AlexOhanianSr

Tyler Wells is the same height as Bautista, but doesn’t seem as big


austinhannah

Bautista has MASS.


AlexOhanianSr

I mean, wells isn’t a small dude, he weighs 265. I guess he doesn’t throw 100 thoigh


the2belo

#CHONK


WillK7794

Listening to Melanie speak with a bad Spanish accent never ceases to be funny to me .


Elkram

Better than the 70 year old mono-english speakers who just Americanize everything possible


WillK7794

Not gonna lie I’d pay to hear Gary Thorne pronounce all of these names like Melanie does


Trubisko_Daltorooni

'Spanish' is listed as a language on her LinkedIn but it doesn't specify what proficiency. I wouldn't be surprised if she speaks Spanish well but with an accent.


Pristine_Ad1750

This would be such a HUGE sweep. With everyone winning pretty much ahead of us and behind us in the wildcard today.


DloReeves

At least Toronto lost :)


Pristine_Ad1750

And Boston 🔥


WillK7794

The 73 comments on the rangers sub gdt is super sad man


[deleted]

Nobody follows losing teams


Elkram

You spend half a billion, and your team ends up being 3rd in the AL West and 8.5 back of the third wild card with 2 months left in the season. I'd be pretty sad as well.


[deleted]

Those days weren’t that long ago for us


[deleted]

I count that as Brett’s RBI


austinhannah

Well Brett, you seem like a nice guy. That's all I got at the moment.


Elkram

He's always seemed like a fun guy to be around. It's really just a matter of can he play baseball well. Which is, at this point, a resounding no. Similar to Odor really.


soulessginger666

Phillips hasn’t had great results, but I can’t complain about 14 pitches over 2 at bats.


timoumd

Offensive version of Lyles. "Im just here to eat arms"


Gallen570

Adley....always on base. Tony. Insurance for the Mountain ⛰️


MealApprehensive2361

Buses cry when they run into Bautista


Redraven1

Shocking result for Phillips


Gallen570

Stop. Get your negative BS out of here.


Whataretonsils

Hero Brett Phillips coulda let that pitch hit him to get on base and help his OBP. Instead, he matrix-dodged it so it would be a wild pitch so Santander could score. Team player.


duomo

Was Don Long actually good for Orioles hitting? Palmer talks about him a lot but Ryan Fuller came up from the O's minor leagues and all the recent grads from there have much better eyes.


MealApprehensive2361

You just let Tony Taters hobble home… how does that feel


the2belo

#WHAT!?!??!?!?!?!


cjackc11

this, now this I like


WillK7794

I have a feeling we’re all gonna love Brett Phillips


dlmay1967

We're not gonna love his batting average or strikeout rate though; everything else, sure.


methandmemes

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA The gravity of Phillips helmet caused that


AlexOhanianSr

Did that hit him?


AdolescentAlien

RIP mlb66. Forever in my heart :’(


Elkram

Lol no rush to get home by Santander


ThatguyfromBaltimore

The Rangers have just given up. That's got to be it right?


Elkram

tbf, if I was in their seat I would as well. How are you supposed to beat this team if even your ace giving you a great 6 innings of 1 run ball results in you losing by at least 4?


OsGameThreads

### Wild Pitch Wild pitch by pitcher Jonathan Hernandez. Anthony Santander scores.


AlexOhanianSr

Philips looks so weird in orange. Not for him


Gallen570

He's gorgeous. No homo.


[deleted]

CMON BRETTY!!

Jovian8

Yesterday I saw someone say "I don't know how these orange fucks always best us" and I laughed for an hour.


the2belo

They did 30-3, so they can eat revenge forever.


maLeFxcTor

I’m laughing about that now lmao


Pristine_Ad1750

It’s so fulfilling reading comments like that 😂


methandmemes

Phillips going yard here would be the funniest fuckin thing


the2belo

Phillips making contact with the ball at all


Jovian8

Why is Santander still on 2B? Was that not as taggable as it looked? And as I type this, a pass ball he could have scored on.


Redraven1

Phillips already getting way too many at bats


Cojoma

Phillips shut me up please


austinhannah

He intimidated the pitcher into throwing a wild pitch. Give the man some credit!


Cojoma

I’m giving it to him


Bodymore52

Sheesh mountcastle is lost man.. he looked unstoppable all of June. But April may half of July he's been really bad. Don't know what to make of him really


Jasmith85

He hit into so pretty bad luck in April and May. Right now he looks the worst he's looked in the last 3 years. Totally lost.


Elkram

How does Adley manage to get to a .799 OPS Just round that shit to .800


Jasmith85

1000 comments on a Wednesday 2pm thread. Nice job guys.


QuietThunder2014

Man it’s been rather embarrassing for the Rangers this series.


TheGoldenLance

I wanna see Vavra-Adley 1-2 just because opposing starters will be making it about 3 innings against that pairing


BKoala59

Hyde: Best I can do is Odor batting 5th.


Elkram

If you had Vavra Adley, then whoever was the 3 batter just needs to get a flyball or something and we'll get at least 1 run every game.


MealApprehensive2361

Yeah then imagine adding Gunnar to that


Evict46

Lol great job Garcia


bbmando

Mission accomplished 😎 –––––––––– "I never want to play this team again ever" from r/TexasRangers - via sideline.so


the2belo

Oh yes I like being feared


King_Clitoris

https://youtu.be/hT47Ysl-2Ew


Elkram

Finally getting those nice base hits and ABs together. Pleasantly surprised by how we've been playing Texas all series especially after the 2/3 loss to Cincinnati.


the2belo

#AAAWWW YISSSSSS


Redraven1

0-2 count on Mountcastle, drink


romorr

Seeing Adley, and Terrin flash a little with plate discipline, makes me so happy. Gunnar, Stowers, Cowser, and others are just going to add to that. Always wanted to be that annoying team that takes so many pitches. Like Boston with Youk and Pedroia.


LeftyRambles2413

Yep. Grinders.


romorr

I hated those motherfuckers. Our starting pitcher would be at 14 pitches in the first, with men on 1st and 2nd, and nobody out. I'd hate that shit.


LeftyRambles2413

Yes absolutely. Even when we contended, I always felt we were a little too free swinging.


Pristine_Ad1750

AMEN!!!


methandmemes

Adley is deceptively quick


jshokie1

Not only is our bullpen good, we've excelled at hitting off of other teams bullpens as well. God I love this team.


YoureUsingCoconuts

Imagine a catcher scoring from first there...easily


Gallen570

Adley....always on base. Tony. Insurance for the Mountain ⛰️


tmgkcp

Garcia's effort seemed lacking there.


phunnypharm

Look at that catcher RUN!!


RatDillPickleUranus

Adley’s discipline is just stupid


GoSomaliPirates

This team fucking rules


methandmemes

AYOOOOOO


OF010

Finally Adley gets one


Pristine_Ad1750

TONY!!!!!!!!!!! LETS GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


austinhannah

Wtf that ball was hit so hard it glitched through the fielder.


Jovian8

Hope the Rangers don't patch that out, it's a fun glitch.


the2belo

Clipping theough the map


Redraven1

lol at the effort by the right fielder there


banishthelight

Broke into his "whatever" trot. Shades of BJ Upton with the Rays.


Jasmith85

That was crushed. Rolled like 300 feet


jBelt3

Adley can fucking move lmao


wolljibbs

Tony 2 Bags!


JC3418

Bruh Santander absolutely smoked that ball!


phunnypharm

Adley Walkman! as beloved as Doubles Adley


Bodymore52

14 straight games with hit for Santander!!!


TheGoldenLance

Adley already getting the Votto/Soto/Posey clout calls lmaoo GG league


Cojoma

I’m surprised Palmer didn’t sneak diss Sevy there


JC3418

3 walks for Adley. Loving the patience!


Gumboy52

Adley getting more walks this game than the 2014 Orioles had all year


Whataretonsils

Ump finally respecting Adley. "Oh, Adley didn't swing? Guess it was a ball."


methandmemes

When are these pitchers gonna learn you can’t get behind the count on Adley


Jovian8

I am *amazed* that Adley didn't get fucked on that call. That's more surprising to me than anything else that has happened in this game. And Chirinos has 3 fucking hits.


the2belo

ADLEY WALKMAN AGAIN


Trubisko_Daltorooni

Doubley Walkman


Pristine_Ad1750

Everyone’s scared to pitch to Adley Bwaaahhhhaha


[deleted]

Adley OBP to the goddamn moon


soulessginger666

Back to back games of rookies getting 3 walks


[deleted]

Good as a single


Bodymore52

Okay Santander 1 more chance at extending hit streak to 14 this inning


timoumd

Granted.


[deleted]

We could hit a grand slam and Melanie would make it seem like we just flied out with her tone


TheGoldenLance

Can’t believe league wide OPS is only .708 this year, that’s ridiculously low. Since 1992 only 2014 was a worse hitting environment. And that’s with the NL DH, like wtf


3rdDegreeBurn

Our game thread has 10x the comments of the rangers game thread. I love you guys


Quicksilver7837

Closing in on 1k comments for a Wednesday afternoon game!


bhmstuff

I just wish I was watching and not listening on Sirius (PC) on a delay.


Pristine_Ad1750

Phillips vibes in the thread rn ✈️


[deleted]

The rangers game threads are worse than the ones here in 2019. That’s not saying a whole lot. It’s a tough scene over there


OsGameThreads

### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Jonathan Hernandez replaces Jose Leclerc.


Bodymore52

As of this inning we are +6 in run differential. That's flat out even more unreal then on brink of 3 games over 500 to me.. This team had just flat out AWFUL pitching. Just bad bad historical bad pitching. Now this yr despite offense that ranks bottom 10 in almost every category the pitching has been so good were plus 6 run differential


Pristine_Ad1750

Phillips kept it in the ballpark there he willed it in


Cojoma

I felt it tbh


upforgrabsnow

Signed for clubhouse vibes and outfield ESP


maLeFxcTor

These camera angles are so fucking deceptive. The angle of that launch plus the crack of the bat, I thought that ball was long gone.


maroontheanchor

Perez is filthy even with the loss of Lopez this is still a top 5 bullpen


malkusm

Somebody forgot to tell Mateo we were sellers at the deadline


King_Clitoris

Pheeeeewwwwww


duomo

The gravity of Phillips's helmet kept that one in


jdixonfan

Jim Palmer has a huge man crush on Jorge Mateo and so do I


LeftyRambles2413

Our improvement can be seen at two impact positions, C with Adley and SS with Jorge. The dude could be a legit keeper. He has what you can’t teach in a SS.


jdixonfan

Absolutely. If he gets his OBP up to or over .300 consistently then he is a huge offensive threat. Could easily steal 50+ SBs and has the power to hit 15-20 HRs. Plus platinum glove defense at a premium position? That’s a borderline All Star.


LeftyRambles2413

Wouldn’t be the first time SD gave up on a defensively talented SS that a bird named team swiped up.


jdixonfan

Jorge “Ozzie Smith but faster and with way more power” Mateo


LeftyRambles2413

I was looking at Ozzie's stats his first full year in St. Louis. Him and Jorge about the same age and superficially they look similiarly. Hey you never know. Maybe the baseball Gods have smiled on us with Jorge. He's certainly my favorite guy who is playing his first full year on the team who wasn't with the organization to start last year.


jdixonfan

Mateo is already halfway to Ozzie’s career home runs number lol. He’s definitely becoming one of my favorites on the team. In the span of like two months he’s gone from “stopgap who will not be on the team in a couple years” to “future utility guy on the 2025 WS champion Orioles” to “SS of the future after Gunnar and Holliday move to other positions”.


LeftyRambles2413

I love it when his helmet comes off. Reminds me of what I read about Willie Mays. Plus the steals. The best things happen when both Ced and Mateo are having good days.


methandmemes

Mateo is such a fuckin stud


Jovian8

Sign Mateo for the next 10 years.


justlikemojohand8457

Remember Mark Belanger the Orioles had pretty good fortune while he was there.


bmac_2144

If can keep up his pace he’s been on for the last 30 games he could be a 5+ WAR player


Jarteast

Mateo pop off helmet bobble head would be a great promotion.


Cojoma

Genius


QuietThunder2014

I need this in my life


dough831

Now that's a thought


baltbeast

Vavra needs to play everyday


TheGoldenLance

I love it when the hitter just starts walking to the dugout lmaoo must be so satisfying as a pitcher


TheGoldenLance

I don’t wanna see Nevin or Odor starting over Vavra ever again tbh. New era


Wit_maybe

Lets get this bread big C!
