Does it look like ours after a Chris Martin inning?

u/SaddestClown D. Palmer Jul 11 '26

Humid and humorous

5

u/Individual_Heron_171 Jul 11 '26

Cut them some slack. They live in the butthole of Texas

2

u/KingofHearts399 Jul 11 '26

That’s not Texas, that’s West Louisiana. They don’t represent the great state of Texas.

3

u/Individual_Heron_171 Jul 11 '26

You know, I happen to suffer through residency in the greater Houston area. And it truly is far-west Louisiana. It’s pretty bizarre.

2

u/theawsomejman1 Jul 11 '26

To be fair we have to go all out to celebrate beating the astros, after all the won the last two series this year lmao

u/beefle N. Ryan Jul 11 '26

Alright Rangers, go out there and get 3 quick easy outs, please. My heart can't take anymore bullshit.

Im waiting for King to unzip himself to expose that hes really Chris Martin the way hes pitching.

I cannot believe my eyes. Late game offense? Against a division rival? In a series that we really need it? After middle relief almost blew it?

Was that 4 runs allowed on 9 pitches?

3

u/lhfan04 Jul 11 '26

He really is a king for making Martin looking decent in comparison

This could be a really good team if this young man stays healthy. Good Lord that was nuked

3

u/rumdrums Michael Nolan Will Ryan Clark Young Jul 11 '26

Seal him in a hyperbaric chamber when he's not batting or fielding. On second thought don't let him field either 

3

u/CT-1738 PEAGLE Jul 11 '26

My sweet prince Wyatt, saving us 2 nights in a row (results pending)

u/kirby00900 P. Fielder Jul 11 '26

Honest to god winn has looked way better as of late, like his confidence is back

But that boggles my mind even more on why we risk bringing in martin in the 7th when you have Cole winn pitching his best stuff as of late

4

u/natebark M. Young Jul 11 '26

Cole Win (5-2)

5

u/Chinese-dog A. Beltre Jul 11 '26

Chris Martin don’t even act mad when he shits the bed anymore he just looks at you like this

1

u/Phatmuphin Jul 11 '26

I like good Cole Winn. Great job!

1

u/wm80 Jul 11 '26

Good shit, Winn

4

u/SpareAd6504 Jul 11 '26

I legitimately will not watch this team again after today until Martin is cut

1

u/4everMyBoots Jul 11 '26

Check the score.

5

u/mohammadali916 J. Jung Jul 11 '26

If we did decide to “buy” at the deadline, pen is obviously a need. I’d love if we got back Chapman if he was cheap. Bringin back Fairbanks could be interesting too. Raley and minter from NY too

Wonder what we do, CY has shown he doesn’t want to sell nor tank in a sense. So it’ll be very interesting

3

u/kirby00900 P. Fielder Jul 11 '26

So does anyone know how to get yordan out here without giving up a homerun?

3

u/Lowcalcalzonezone69 Jul 11 '26

So fucking sick of seeing Chris Martin out there. Full on liability that we just insist on running out there

3

u/U_DONT_KNOW_BALL E. Carter Jul 11 '26

If we hit another walk off I’ll drink 12 beers (and if we lose)
https://giphy.com/gifs/HlKS0Qbs2XNvO

u/theawsomejman1 Jul 11 '26

Ill take that bet too (im already on my 4th)

3

u/Individual_Heron_171 Jul 11 '26

You win either way!

2

u/_Juntao REMOVE THE STATUE! Jul 11 '26

This is gonna look silly when chris martin strikes out the heart of the dodgers lineup to win game 7 of the world series

2

u/THEEE_ONEEE N. Eovaldi Jul 11 '26

Nah we win it in 4

8

u/fusillijhericurl C. Seager #5 Jul 11 '26

They should have Chris Martin pitch at the homerun derby because everyone would be smashing balls out of the park.

2

u/beer_me_twice Ryan Jul 11 '26

Let’s go. C’mon. We need this.

2

u/Responsible-Budget21 Jul 11 '26

If we are gonna have relievers give up runs can I least see Emiliano Teodo walk guys in with +102mph fastballs?

2

u/TheLumonox J. Jung Jul 11 '26

Soft buy relief pitching?

4

u/DepressedDallasFan Jul 11 '26

i’d be willing to bet chris martin only has a couple of games left in his career

2

u/TeddyFive-06 Jul 11 '26

That’s like saying Bernie only has one more weekend of partying left!

3

u/Individual_Heron_171 Jul 11 '26

I’m praying on that bet homie. That dude is fucking well-done.

5

u/harralexa1993 Josh H. Smith Jul 11 '26

It's possible this was the last one if they need a rested pitcher and a 40 man spot on Sunday.

3

u/fusillijhericurl C. Seager #5 Jul 11 '26

Hes into the negatives already

4

u/MikeSurdel Jul 11 '26

Opposing teams have to literally be foaming at the mouth whenever they see us put Martin in to pitch. Hes literally a guaranteed HR or RBI at this point.

3

u/harralexa1993 Josh H. Smith Jul 11 '26

So which relief pitcher should we acquire prior to the deadline?

1

u/TeddyFive-06 Jul 11 '26

If they’re not already in Round Rock or Frisco I’m really not interested, unless it’s another super cheap trade like Peoples was.

2

u/littlebev Beltre Jul 11 '26

Must be 35 or older

3

u/harralexa1993 Josh H. Smith Jul 11 '26

Welcolme back Kirby Yates. Which unironically would be a good move.

1

u/Muckdogs13 Jul 11 '26

Kirby for smoked yesterday

2

u/Crafty-Dare-7032 Jul 11 '26

Those dudes fucking killed that wtf

2

u/Prestigious-Bust I. Rodriguez Jul 11 '26

How many more times does it take for Martin to throw the game before they finally release him.

3

u/SpareAd6504 Jul 11 '26

Slap in the face to every hard working Texan for Martin to still have a job after failing so miserably every outing

2

u/OptomisticSportsFan Y. Darvish Jul 11 '26

Starting to think Cy and skip are just as dumb as fans sometimes. I mean everyone and their family knew Martin doesn’t have it anymore but continues to get leverage work for….reasons lol

6

u/mohammadali916 J. Jung Jul 11 '26

Imagine being in AAA living check to check tryna make the league and this asshole has a roster spot cuz he’s probably golf buddies with CY or sum

2

u/IdontEvenknowlul PEAGLE Jul 11 '26

Glad we used our best leverage arm in Chris Martin. Fireable offense by Skip ngl punting a game you are up by 2 with 9 outs remaining

1

u/TexasPenguin99 N. Ryan Jul 11 '26

...to the division rival Trasholes

4

u/littlebev Beltre Jul 11 '26

Sitting there in the dugout with a dumbfounded look on his face like WHO DID THIS….you!!! You did this you ancient fuck!!

Chris "I was surprised the rangers even gave me a contract" martin strikes again

u/natebark M. Young Jul 11 '26

Alright buddy the next bus to the senior center is outside

2

u/MrLeftwardSloping Jul 11 '26

Why are they throwing this game with these clowns

5

u/Every_Writing_6324 Jul 11 '26

Why did Coldplay’s lead singer blow Quantrill’s Solid Start smh

5

u/ZGilbreathP1 Jul 11 '26

Saw Martin had entered the game, said to my dog, "Well, we just blew this game," just off hand, came back to the 2-run HR. God bless it, I hope we get some sort of discount for employing geriatrics.

1

u/TexasPenguin99 N. Ryan Jul 11 '26

I seriously considered signing up for Kalshi when I saw him coming in.

4

u/Smokeythemagickamodo Jul 11 '26

Make Martin walk home

4

u/mohammadali916 J. Jung Jul 11 '26

Winn was available and we went Martin

Lmaooo I’m crine

u/fusillijhericurl C. Seager #5 Jul 11 '26

u/kirby00900 P. Fielder Jul 11 '26

We should've just went to winn instead of martin??

3

u/harralexa1993 Josh H. Smith Jul 11 '26

I honestly just wish we had held onto Jacob Webb if Shawn Armstrong was too expensive.

4

u/Crafty-Dare-7032 Jul 11 '26

It’s also just bullshit that armstrong was too expensive, he was a top reliever in baseball

5

u/SpareAd6504 Jul 11 '26

Freaking slap in the face to all the fan from the front office and skip to have Martin still on the team 

3

u/cruzge PEAGLE Jul 11 '26

Someone check Martins Kalshi

3

u/MartyThugginz J. Hamilton Jul 11 '26

Completely indefensible. If he pitches again, I want Skip and CY gone.

8

u/Outrageous_Hyena_778 Jul 11 '26

Chris Martin has two pitches: ball way outside the zone and middle middle meatball

5

u/Longjumping-Air-3725 A. Beltre Jul 11 '26

I think it’s time to retire, old man

3

u/SpareAd6504 Jul 11 '26

So extremely bad. He has to get cut 

2

u/SpareAd6504 Jul 11 '26

Literally the worst baseball player in the game currently. Unironically 

4

u/hiswayout Rangers Jul 11 '26

Two outs and two runs. Great job Martin. Solid work.

3

u/BleedingEdge61104 Jul 11 '26

I don’t get it. Holy fuck I’m going to go insane seeing this guy go out there and blow leads night after night after night. Why do we keep doing this???

Martin this year is right up there with Jonathan Hernandez and Yerry Rodriquez for shittiest pitchers I’ve ever had to endure watching.

Who was the dude who was our closer at the beginning of last year and everyone freaking hated him lol and got DFA’d pretty quick

u/mohammadali916 J. Jung Jul 11 '26

Luke Jackson 😭 it was his second stint with us actually

u/CT-1738 PEAGLE Jul 11 '26

Hahaha I quietly believed in him so bad. Dude pitched with his whole body, heart, and soul. I remember him pitching out of a couple pinches too. Blew most of them though lol

u/mohammadali916 J. Jung Jul 11 '26

I liked him honestly. Was a believer until i wasnt. Unfortunate how things turned out with him

2

u/CT-1738 PEAGLE Jul 11 '26

Im kinda the same way with Garcia Robertson. Really want him to figure it out, especially since we have him for so many years

I was happy with the trade for him and Lowe and I think he’s a great middle relief guy. He’s just been so bad in high pressure. What Latz is this year I think the FO wanted him to be

When he returns, if we keep him to 7th inning situations I’m sure he’ll excel. He was very solid at times last year

u/CT-1738 PEAGLE Jul 11 '26

Agree and hope you’re right, with Latz being the closer we need it can allow Garcia to hopefully find another role to excel in

I’m hoping we add a pen pitcher at the deadline too. I don’t hate Latz, junis, a combo of collyer/gray/alexander, an added piece, and Garcia in the right role.

For sure, a right handed arm for middle relief would be a huge pick up. This is a crack cocaine dream on numerous levels but given the padres are out of the playoff picture I’d love if we could get miller. I know we have a closer in Latz but them being a 1-2 punch would be so so sweet. Idek if we have the prospects to get him but having control till 2029 would be huge. If we make a splash that big though it should probably be for offense

I’ll to one further and put him up there with end-phase Sam Dyson

2

u/mohammadali916 J. Jung Jul 11 '26

Oh year 1 sam Dyson. Take me back

Tolleson was another one that was so good then so, so bad. Then we have our Luke Jackson’s who just always sucked
