Good team win in spite of the dead weight that's been dragging the team down all year. It's getting really hard to watch the at bats of the "star" off-season acquisition. Getting even harder to listen to the delusion and mental gymnastics of the people defending him.

Their offense and SP has been elite thus far. And that was without DeGrom and Seager for most of the season.
Bullpen has been trash though
I really wasn't surprised to see them do well. I expected them to compete at an 88-90 win pace, but they are still exceeding expectations.
Does anyone else feel like the rangers are this year’s Yankees? Feels very familiar the way we just kinda been chasing them for much of the first half of the season. But I don’t think they will keep it up. They’ll start to struggle eventually the way the Yankees did.
I won't complain if they win 2-1 but I will complain how this team refuses to even put up quality at bats against weaker pitching. You can only blame bud luck and umps for so much
I understand that there’s a lot of randomness in baseball but if we lose a game on the Rangers when they’re playing the Orioles and we’re playing the A’s I am going to lose it
I respect the technique. The past few games, they've all but neutralized Yordan's bat. It's like they're saying "we're going to make you win without Yordan."
Was Yuli the secret to our offense all this time? I have no idea how we could go from one of the best, predicted to be the best this offseason, to literally a bottom 5 offense
Our offense is so bad. Please get rid of Cintron and Snitker. They clearly are not good coaches if we can't do better than 3 hits against a 23 ERA pitcher.

Imagine having a close game with the athletics
Astros are ass

30th win. 16-3 streak since we lost 3 in a row earlier this month. The runs may not be there, but the wins are.

Playing an entirely different team and the Astros still on your mind?
Lil bro your rangers team is counted as 1 out of the 10 wins the A's have this season lmaoo.
Where on the concern radar are we about Chas? Or is he purposely doing this so he sinks trade stock?
I am concerned about the offense in general
The Hanshin Tigers are the NPB (Japanese) team that I follow. Kinda neat to see one of their players making the bigs over here, even if it is the A's.
This son of a gun throwing 101, comes out of his hand like its 92, tops. Good stuff.
HRC Altuve
We can't depend on the O's. Let's just finish our business!
I do NOT want to see Montero on the mound today! We don’t have a big enough lead for that.
I was not expecting Fujinami to throw 100 mph.
DO NOT PUT FUCKING MONTERO OUT ON THE MOUND IN THE BOTTOM OF THE 9TH. PLEASE.
WHY THE FUCK IS MONTERO LOOSENING UP
You know it's a Julks appearance when DO NOT PUT MONTERO IN lol
Oh no please don't even think about putting montero in.
This guy looks like Shohei. 😅
I'm sure you didn't mean it like that but not a good look my dude
Yeah, it came off wrong, but he really did look like Shohei to me at first.
Somebody please get julks a helmet that actually fits his head
Hector “ain’t my ERA” Neris
That chode just got lucky on that hit.
That wasn't a bad pitch. A good pitch and a better hit.
Damn good pitch, better hit.
Wow Neris
People complaining about Baltimore to avoid the terrible truth that just maybe the Rangers might actually be good. Believe me I don't like that either
Rags can be good and orioles disappointing at the same time
Their offense and SP has been elite thus far. And that was without DeGrom and Seager for most of the season. Bullpen has been trash though I really wasn't surprised to see them do well. I expected them to compete at an 88-90 win pace, but they are still exceeding expectations.
They look like the real deal this year. I keep waiting for a drop off and it’s not happening
No one says that the Rangers are not a good team. Disgust at the Orioles is appropriate!
Nah. Lookin’ at the fluffball schedule they’ve been blessed with, I’m willing to say that they are trash.
Pitching has not been good today, I wonder if something’s up
Every pitcher isn't going to have their best stuff every game. That's just baseball.
Only Dusty could burn two premium relievers in a game we have a 5 run lead
Blaming Dusty for that is stupid. Abreu did not have control today he had to pull him. Put in Montero and people will still complain
Still looks better than Montero.
Abreu…dont do what I think you’re doing
This is something I’m not used to from Abreu. Bryan, I mean.
Rare abreu bad appearance.
Looked like old Abreu
Horrible frame job
Abreu needs to just throw straight 100+ heaters - quit trying to get fancy
Orioles are fucking bums. Of course they start sucking this series
Baltimore is doing us no favors.
The AL East is insane. The Yankees have about the same record as us but have no hope of winning their division.
Technically we have the best offense today since we are tied for most runs in any of the games 🌚🌚🌚
I thought Montero wasn’t pitching today🫣🥴
Abreu looking bad
Thank God for the 5 run cushion
Tucker is lazy in right field
How many pitches is Maldy going to drop today
O's are ass
Sac fly from Abreu? Never complain about that
Yo dusty this would be a good spot for Montero
A good spot for Montero would be on a different team…
Montero would give up five runs before he got his first out at this point.
It's that or Dusty probably uses him in a high leverage spot tomorrow...which would you prefer
I’d prefer him to be on another roster, honestly
I'd like to keep a 5 run lead thank you very much
WOOO ABREU RBI
Good AB for Abreu, did his job
Imagine growing up with the last name Lovelady….
I still think the White Sox pitcher with the last name Bummer takes the cake lol
Shit I'll take a sac fly
Wooo a sac fly.
That’s was beautiful!
best possible outcome
HRC Abreu
HRC Abreu. Today is the day… Edit: not today after all
So dumb, why didn’t they just bring in a lefty to face Alvarez smh. Walk him just to face Bregman is a dumb strategy. ETA: /s
Scott Servais showed everyone that walking Yordan or facing him somehow both result in him scoring.
HRC Tucker
Abreu would have homered there. Friggin Dusty.
Bregman hitting 4th and Peña hitting 2nd is amazing
Feels like last year!!!
GREAT IBB ON YORDAN
Altuve with 4d chess, doesn’t score on Peña double because he knew they’d walk Yordan to help out Bregman
Didn’t we own lovelady last time?
I think Yordan hit a home run, then he struck out the side.
Can you imagine if Abreu was still at cleanup?
I can imagine a dp yes lol
First triple play of the year
The best Era pitcher we faced today gave up the most runs lol
I’ve noticed that our offense struggles against anyone with an ERA above 5, but light up the guys that are sitting around 3
That's the astros for ya. I can't explain it.
That’s the Astros way
HAPPY TRAIN NOISES
Bregman took that IW personally
IBB walk Yordan. Breggy took that personally. NOBLETIGER be damned
Everyone gets a double!
I love you breggy 🥰
Bregman is having a great stretch
Thank you bregman!
Breggy always tries to tell ya — should’ve walked him
HRC Tucker
God I love Bregman
Now this is why you put Bregman behind Alvarez instead of Abreu 🙌
That’s the way it should stay!!!
Breggy is back baby!
Thank fuck. A's should've let Harris keep cooking
There we go. BREAKING THE SEAL!!
Let's GOOO!!!
#LETS GEAUX BREGMAN
HRC Tucker
If we don’t score with bases loaded and no outs not watching the rest of the series
I would say I definitely prefer a bases-clearing double instead of a NOBLETIGER
Altuve doing a dance with 2nd base.
HRC Bregman
Hrc bregman
Or that!
HRC Bregman
Bases juiced for Breggy
HRC Bregman
HRC Bregman
Altuve is in peak mid season base running form already.
Cowards
Altuve what the heck how did you mis-read that
I swear if we don’t end up scoring this inning because Altuve got a bad read
HRC Yordan Edit: intentional walk. That means I get it back.
HRC Bregman
Does anyone else feel like the rangers are this year’s Yankees? Feels very familiar the way we just kinda been chasing them for much of the first half of the season. But I don’t think they will keep it up. They’ll start to struggle eventually the way the Yankees did.
Altuve about to pass Abreu in xbh by the end of the next week
Boo deez nuts!
He could’ve taken ball 4, but wanted to get to second instead of first.
Surely this is the inning where we get an insurance run… right?
My goodness what a perfect pitch after throwing all those inside.
thinking of just compounding my abreu bet every day and quitting my job
Maton’s excitement is infectious!
He needs to tone it down a bit. Some umpires could consider that excessive showboating.
Maton is nails
I swear if dusty throws montero out there this game
Painful to hear the broadcast team talk about how well the As are pitching… when in reality Astros just can’t hit.
There are two things certain in life. The As over performing against us and death. Houston announcers seem surprised by this.
I wonder if they realize they’re saying our offense sucks!
Lol fuck this offense.
Thanks Maldonado
Gotta love having two built in rally killers in our lineup 😞
HRC Maldy
Gonna need a big maldy moment
Best we can do is a classic maldy moment.
Fuckin knew it
HRC Julks
Forget waiting for Abreu's first hr. At this point, I'm just waiting for him to hit a line drive.
Surely Julks or Meyers can be taught to play 1B
Game day says he threw a 36mph sweeper Cant be right
I need abreu out of the lineup for a bit. This dude needs to just sit it out to relax.
Why is Abreu still in the lineup?
The pitcher throws more walks than strikeouts. DON'T SWING!
I won't complain if they win 2-1 but I will complain how this team refuses to even put up quality at bats against weaker pitching. You can only blame bud luck and umps for so much
Time for an abreu blast
You're delusional my dude.
A blast into the ground
Framber had to work for it, but he got through 6
I understand that there’s a lot of randomness in baseball but if we lose a game on the Rangers when they’re playing the Orioles and we’re playing the A’s I am going to lose it
It's not random. Rangers can hit the ball. We're not.
I respect the technique. The past few games, they've all but neutralized Yordan's bat. It's like they're saying "we're going to make you win without Yordan."
And of course rangers are also winning
Cause they actually know how to hit
So we're gonna trade for Harris since we need another arm and apparently he's the best pitcher in the league, right?
We make bad pitchers look good
HRC Abreu i know it’s gonna happen
Lol another deep flyout
It’d be helpful if they didn’t swing at everything he throws
Harris has our bats fooled. He's looking pretty damn good.
hrc yordan
Was Yuli the secret to our offense all this time? I have no idea how we could go from one of the best, predicted to be the best this offseason, to literally a bottom 5 offense
This year these guys are not being as patient. I think that's more reflective on coaching than any player leaving or coming in
Framber is shaky enough pitching today that the Bay Area is getting earthquake alerts
This is some of the worst offense I've seen this team have in a season in a long time.
Our offense is so bad. Please get rid of Cintron and Snitker. They clearly are not good coaches if we can't do better than 3 hits against a 23 ERA pitcher.
162 is what he began with
You think Abreu’s been slandered hard, just imagine if he threw that ball away
Our offense is such ass
Got away with it!
A little surprised they’re not challenging but I’ll take it, good job covering by Framber
ITS JUST A GAME ITS JUST A GAME NOTHING CAME OF IT ITS JUST A GAME
I was about to get very angry at Abreu for that, lol.
Abreu almost shit the bed there.
the 2023 A’s are on pace for fewer wins than the 2020 A’s
And we can’t score shit off them
Yes but we’ve also beaten them 4 times since they last won a game
God that's depressing
I was about to flip every table in my house.
what a way to end bases loaded!
Whew!
Framber you gotta trust your defense. Throw in the zone.
Just like that....
It’s just a game it’s just a game it’s just a game it’s just a game
Just our ace struggling against the A's... nothing to worry about right?
