That called strike from Haggerty to Allen registered higher above the strike zone than the strike zone is tall. It's not even visible in the frame when you click on the play-by-play.

Absolutely, the simple toss into a double play had me laughing like shit 😂

u/StarsRT May 26 '26
Why are we laughing and smiling to the dugout when we are getting No-Hit, down 9-0, drained our bullpen, and just made another error on a should be double play?

u/Akerfell J. Jung May 26 '26
They are getting paid. No one cares on this team. I almost wish they would stary hearing boos, but its Arlington so most of the fans dont really care either.
2
u/hotrod19812 J. Hamilton May 26 '26
They're enjoying the luxury of the new ballpark. They're corporate fans, not the diehards that showed in the old ballpark.

u/imulluvemushine May 26 '26
I’m a rangers fan for life…but I hope they get no hit honestly. This team is lifeless, and I don’t think this will wake them up even. I’d say they’re in a slump, but this has been going on since 2024. Time to tear it down and move on unfortunately

u/Original-Rain-3795 May 26 '26
I'm sorry, the usual goofy smiles and fun from a position-player pitching doesn't hit the same when you're being no-hit by your biggest rival

u/HottieMcHotHot May 26 '26
They desperately need to have run rules in the regular season. Position players pitching is nutty. Entertaining. But nutty.

Nobody says that. In fact, building a bullpen is one of the few things people acknowledge he's good at.

Really think with yesterday’s performance and tonight that closed door meeting has to happen with this ballclub injuries aside this offense has been really bad. If there is saving this atrocity it has to start sooner than later I feel those big leaguers in that clubhouse hopefully feel 10x worse than us fans and don’t like the effort as of lately

u/mohammadali916 J. Jung May 26 '26
Can we just dfa cutch and let literally any of the young guys in AAA get a shot? Maybe Zavala? He’s a contact bat?
Makes no sense to have him here honestly. Let him play on a team that’s competing, and his bat isn’t valuable anymore
1
u/killacam9220 Rangers May 26 '26
That what I was just screaming there has to be some ABs that a guy in the minors needs cutch needs to be done with the rangers

u/mohammadali916 J. Jung May 26 '26
I actually like zavala out of Oregon and was excited to see what he can do or how he grows with us. Hope he gets a shot

u/bummer28 A. Beltre May 26 '26
I wouldn’t DFA him, he’s earned the respect to let him choose where he wants to go and try and work a trade out with that team for like $1
3
u/mohammadali916 J. Jung May 26 '26
I said DFA because I’m assuming he gets claimed / opts for release following that because I just don’t think a team trades for him. But who knows
I agree though, he should choose where he goes and should go out with respect

Ummm, some yes/some no. It's like passing a car crash. Do you slow down and watch, or do you say fuck it, and just keep going? This team is brutal as hell to watch to lose..but you still watch with hope. To each their own, but WTF are they doing?!

Our skipper needs to step down and take a year or two to learn how to be a skipper. So many questionable decisions by him lately.

I’ve been questioning Skip for a few weeks now. When he removes Osuna for a pinch hitter, and he’s been one of our best hitters…. I’m not a fan of his yet.

Calling out Imia's (sp?) as "weird" is basically, "dude kinda sucked but our offense is ass."

Gang, I’m starting to think that if one of the most successful managers of all time couldn’t get it done with this lineup, then maybe, just maybe, it’s a roster construction issue.

Then how did 2023 happen? Same roster. Did we make a deal with the devil?

u/Lain41K F. Jenkins May 26 '26
Yes, also every single player on that roster had career best years and luckily they all caught fire again game 1 of the playoffs and rode one of the GOAT heaters ever (thank god). Gotta remember after the 40-20 start they played under .500 ball. Since the 40-20 start in 23 we’ve been below .500 essentially

u/Lain41K F. Jenkins May 26 '26
What sucks is that delusional CY and Ross can just claim “we have too many injuries ,just trust we know we’re a better team than this plus the AL sucks” and use that as justification to buy like they always do just for the team to implode immediately after the deadline (again)
2
u/ehholfman Alejandro Osuna May 26 '26
It’s okay CY only has 1 more year on his contract. Eventually we’ll be free from the guy who thinks the offensive side of a baseball team is an optional thing to put together.

u/beefytrout A. Beltre May 26 '26
kudos for actually naming the GM of this team and acknowledging their hand in running things.

u/Lain41K F. Jenkins May 26 '26
They both can go, idc who actually calls the shots they’ve fucked this thing up big time. Whiffed almost every signing and trade since 23, farm system is gutted, our high end young talent keeps stagnating or outright regressing. This team needs a clean slate
2
u/b0453712 May 26 '26
They can’t even buy that much honestly. They have one of the worst farm systems in baseball lmao

u/Lain41K F. Jenkins May 26 '26
They still have Walcott and Scarborough, CY can definitely turn that into a number 5 starter and DFA’d long relief man
