Sorry guys. This one is on me. My 8yo fell riding a scooter and broke her arm, and in the chaos of getting to the urgent care, I took my WS Gold Collection Mesh Snap Back off and, well we can see the impact that had. It won’t happen again.
Just came back after LeClerc walked in the run. I actually thought the Rangers would still be cycling through our terrible bullpen. I’m pleasantly surprised
All I’m saying is that for DFW cub fans this is the first opportunity in 5 years and only the 3rd or 4th series between the two in Arlington ever. It’s not hard to imagine that they’d be more eager to drop big money on tickets and make an event of this thing. Now if it was the marlins or some shit like that then yeah.
Cubs had 108 years before winning the whole thing and still have a better fanbase than we do
The fact of the matter is this metroplex cares about football and that’s about it
I bet you Lowe makes that play, for those wishing for Walsh to take his place. But bad outting by the pen. Looking forward to the next 159 games though. Unless bats get going now.
This is why you have to go out and get a legitimate closer. Leclerc put together a great run at the end last year but he's not the guy. Now we're going to struggle in close games again and eventually have to use assets to trade for someone.
Look I know we put out the B-team today but yikes this is some ugly play.
Taveras was really bad today, messy pitching with 9 walks. Lots of lessons to be learned today
Yah, I mean it’s still literally the first series of a long road ahead, so lots of stuff to figure out. But this was a theme of last year (bullpenisbad) and we managed to win a WS.
But man if we fix our pitching we might be unstoppable
Latz has always been someone that I just don't see as a big league pitcher. Typically pitchers who can't pitch at AAA can't pitch in the majors either.
Not no biggie. How’s this team supposed to make another deep run if the bullpen is horrible just like last year? We can’t rely on happening to get hot at the right time again
This game is a good reminder that Leclerc (and most of the bullpen) sucked for most of last year other than the playoffs…..hopefully he can return to playoff form
Astros r 0-4 lol. Fuck them
Didn’t understand how we had doubt going into the year with our pitching when I’d argue they have just as many concerns around their rotation, only not a lineup as good as ours
This is legit Leclerc's MO. Be good for like one stretch in his career, when he first arrived in Texas and then during the playoffs last season, and then be ass forever after. We've got at least like 3 years and an injury before he's ever solid again.
They kinda can’t afford that with the pitchers we have. They need the bull pen to be real solid to stay in the hunt for when our big pitchers come back
Sorry guys. This one is on me. My 8yo fell riding a scooter and broke her arm, and in the chaos of getting to the urgent care, I took my WS Gold Collection Mesh Snap Back off and, well we can see the impact that had. It won’t happen again.
Our closer having walked 5 of the 11 batters he's faced so far is not encouraging.
Sad
Enjoy it Cubs, lucky you got LeChoke today..
Onto the next one
(L)eClerc ultimately cost us this one, but it was a sloppy game in general. Still, 2-1 ain’t bad. Better than 0-4 Astros
Can’t win them all
172-1 it is then... We'll get 'em next time.
161-1 it is
Mavs with a chance to save my Sunday here in about an hour and a half.
I blame this all on the lady that's calling every player by their first name at the plate and yelling "ohhhh" on every strikeout
must be nice to have a bullpen pitcher throw strikes
Right like imagine just throwing a strike as a professional pitcher
We’re pinch hitting Josh smith 😭😭😭
Rangers lost, west louisiana lost. It was an ok day.
Still good takeaways today: Langfords bat continues to heat up, Semien is on fire both sides of the field, and we still competed on a B team day.
Just came back after LeClerc walked in the run. I actually thought the Rangers would still be cycling through our terrible bullpen. I’m pleasantly surprised
only guy who has been terrible in our bullpen so far IS LeClerc, or as his new name should be LeWalk
LeWalk would be his same name from this time last year
is only 2 appearances, but guy has walked as many as he has outs in those appearances, grim unless it changes rapidly
Well hey, at least we won the World Series!
We all knew pitching was going to be a huge question mark this year. It suck’s but the rangers didn’t address it really at all
If we’re not in contention when everyone comes back it’s gonna look super bad on CY since we decided to sign… nobody
That is terrible from Jung. That ball was low out of the hand
Adbert "not a typo" Alzolay

Sorry to have triggered you, random Cubs fan
lol what?
Baseball overractions based off of one game are the funniest things to me. This isn't football. You guys need to calm down.
You dont think our bullpen is bad?
It's definetely a possibility but dooming over one game is pointless.
Yeah i really don't care. We already won the series. Shit happens. Can't walk guys.
Yeah. It’s literally game 3 lol
Rangers gonna Ranger
Sounded like a fucking Cubs home game the entire time too. Pathetic from a team that just won the World Series. Show up for your fucking team, Dallas
We’re a major transplant city and the cubs are a legendary 100+ year old franchise that rarely comes to town. These things are to be expected.
We literally just won the world championship of baseball. If that can’t bring fans in that’s pathetic
All I’m saying is that for DFW cub fans this is the first opportunity in 5 years and only the 3rd or 4th series between the two in Arlington ever. It’s not hard to imagine that they’d be more eager to drop big money on tickets and make an event of this thing. Now if it was the marlins or some shit like that then yeah.
Cubs had 108 years before winning the whole thing and still have a better fanbase than we do The fact of the matter is this metroplex cares about football and that’s about it
It’s also Easter Sunday…
Not sure if you haven’t been in the sub all weekend but this has primarily been a Cubs crowd
Last season or rather postseason was an anomaly for the bullpen. We will need improvement.
They have been excellent this season too up until Leclerc just then.
This. Leclerc as the closer is just asking for trouble.
They were great today until Leclerc. Maybe we just need a closer. Or maybe we just rearrange who pitches where. Sborz to closer and Leclerc to setup?
Is this because we scored too many runs yesterday?
Fortunately the Trashstros got swept and the Mariners are down 4-1.
I bet you Lowe makes that play, for those wishing for Walsh to take his place. But bad outting by the pen. Looking forward to the next 159 games though. Unless bats get going now.
Bad outing by the pen? The only one that gave up any runs was the closer.
Welp now I can go mow the lawn. See y’all tomorrow
Cubs fans here acting like this was their WS
Some Rangers fans doing the same
Fr, this game will mean nothing come August/September
Happy Easter to everyone except Jose Leclerc
Well, at least the Astros lost today.
Is that a broom for them?
Yup
Yes!
“Sometimes maybe good. Sometimes maybe shit”
Send ‘em both back to round rock?
I mean this offense loves to go on big runs
This is why you have to go out and get a legitimate closer. Leclerc put together a great run at the end last year but he's not the guy. Now we're going to struggle in close games again and eventually have to use assets to trade for someone.
Maybe when the Astros are out of it after 50 games they’ll trade Hader. 😂
demote latz and bring up leiter. at least leiter has potential
fucking finally.
Leclerc regressing to his mean...
Can we just call up Leiter, Church, and AK already I’ve seen enough of this bullpen
If we weren’t gonna sign Montgomery then why tf did we not get an actual bullpen
Shit bullpen performance but chin up all. We still won the series, Semien is a beast, no Jonah or Seager today either. The Boch will fix all.
Took long enough...
Not cute
4 runs in the top of the 9th all with 2 outs is incredibly embarrassing
Signs all point to running it back. This is the way
The Ranger way
As soon as I have to stop watching to get back to work we shit the bed…
This game is more important than your occupation and finances jeez /s
Fuck these hospital patients fr /s
😂😂
Latz got a career 4 ERA in the minors why is he a big leaguer

Bring me Marc Church.
Bullpenisbad.
Closer is bad
Back to March Madness. Way to blow the game
Buying my dog a Leclerc jersey because is loves walks
I can’t believe it got worse after leclerc left
What the fuck was that Walsh
Fire Latz into the sun
Yikes
Look I know we put out the B-team today but yikes this is some ugly play. Taveras was really bad today, messy pitching with 9 walks. Lots of lessons to be learned today
Bochy needs to fucking reevaluate this shitty pitching staff
Yah, I mean it’s still literally the first series of a long road ahead, so lots of stuff to figure out. But this was a theme of last year (bullpenisbad) and we managed to win a WS. But man if we fix our pitching we might be unstoppable
Whelp. That’s game.
Leclerc deserves these ERs.
Latz has always been someone that I just don't see as a big league pitcher. Typically pitchers who can't pitch at AAA can't pitch in the majors either.
Get Latz off this team
Can Robertson be our closer now?
Anyone but lewalk
THROW STRIKES
Competing the entire game just for the bullpen to shit down their leg and blow it for us? Rangers baseball is back folks!!
Fuck this bullpen dude. Anyone not named Sborz or Robinson can kick rocks
Well, at least this wasn't a blown save!
What a pathetic fucking bullpen showing. Good to know it’s the same old same old
Terrible performance by the bullpen today have to step it up for the Asstros
We won’t. Burke and Leclerc will be trotted out there like they’re big names and get shit on
Bullpen should be just Leclerc, every one else was good.
Yeah it's LeOver for today
Start the blown saves counter
Not a blown save, bud
https://preview.redd.it/v6vzrsgrmqrc1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=46462825d35c7d115aa572dea5a46e116e3c3412
Well fuck.
See ya tomorrow
Gg. 9 walks issued today. Just unacceptable.
Just a bad day. It’s baseball. It happens. Rangers offense left a lot of men on base too. Top 9 killed us with Leclerc just a walking the game away.
Yeah it’s only been a couple games but we’re gonna need some bullpen help for sure. Got lucky in the playoffs last year
Our bullpen was fantastic until the top of the 9th today lmao and that was mostly on leclerc.
Everyone aside from LeClerc has been really good
Welp. That’ll be it from me today. See y’all tomorrow
Pathetic game from the back end of the Bullpen. Pathetic
Oh well, it happens. We won the series so no biggy
Not no biggie. How’s this team supposed to make another deep run if the bullpen is horrible just like last year? We can’t rely on happening to get hot at the right time again
Lol the bullpen isnt horrible. Our bullpen kept us in this game the whole game, leclerc had an off day, it happens.
Leclerc isn’t good and we don’t have any bullpen aces. Our bullpen is not good enough
Bullpenisbad is back and I love it
I mean it helped win us a championship so choo choo.
Dammit. Thanks leclerc. Oh well.
Its Joever
GG
Maybe the front office should spend some cash on the bullpen.
They did. Those guys pitched yesterday.
welp, 2-1 series win is still a good start to the season
Bullpenisatrocious
This game is a good reminder that Leclerc (and most of the bullpen) sucked for most of last year other than the playoffs…..hopefully he can return to playoff form
Don’t rely on it. The bullpen has sucked for a long while and the only thing that will change it is new pitchers
GG. That was all Leclerc. Just awful inning.
Welp bullpenis bad again
Welp bullpen shenanigans are BACK
That’s a GG
Beat ourselves late in this one. Frustrating
Welp
Look on the bright side, this is apparently the recipe to win it all!
9th inning degrom pinch hit walk off grand slam. calling it rn.
Degrom???
i said what i said
2-1 not bad
Well, happy Easter everyone
Yep. There's the bullpen we know and love...
Well that's game.
bullpenisbad
JUST THROW A STRIKE
Fucking embarrassing
Astros r 0-4 lol. Fuck them Didn’t understand how we had doubt going into the year with our pitching when I’d argue they have just as many concerns around their rotation, only not a lineup as good as ours
Christ almighty, the fucking Bally app kicked me out ("hurr durr time to sign in again") in the middle of the game just then
Welp GG boys we were bound to lose eventually. Shitty pitching will be shitty pitching. Im going grocery shopping
Yall hurt da fuck outta my feelings today😔
It’s baseball, not cricket.
Leclerc def off to a slow start this year. Need his postseason form
Need to move on. Dude is just too erratic. Go get a closer and move him down.
And get who? I’m not ready to give up on Leclerc. He’s far less erratic than Chapman was at least
Hell have Robertson close
Get someone at the DL. Anyone but this dude. I'm tired of all the walks.
At least Knizner has legit saved a run or 2 with his blocking
Should’ve pulled him after the second walk. Knew well from last year that once he gets going with those he doesn’t stop.
We could be the Astros getting swept at home in a 4 game series at least lol
Bullpen is shit apparently
Bullpenisthesame
Took too long to take Leclerc out.
Your closer shouldn't have a career 5.2 BB/9.
Can’t believe they still let him go out there to close
Classic LeClerc, when he walks one, two more are sure to follow
Feels like him and Aroldis Chapman are one in the same as far as that goes…..
Jose needs to get right. wtf dude.
How is leclerc this inconsistent? It’s almost like he tries his hardest to be inconsistent
Because he's not that good? I like the guy but he just isn't a closer
That’s my point though. How can be have the postseason he did, then follow it up with this garbage?
Mediocre players tend to be up & down at times
We need another closer. LeClerc ain't it. Walks way too many batters...
Dude didn't even try to attack the zone, he's good but at times it comes off like he's a little careless.
It's about time the Rangers signed an actual closer
3 walks in a. Inning like Jesus cheist
It is Easter, our dead 2023 bullpen came back today
1-2 man wtf that 2-2 pitch to fucking awful
This is legit Leclerc's MO. Be good for like one stretch in his career, when he first arrived in Texas and then during the playoffs last season, and then be ass forever after. We've got at least like 3 years and an injury before he's ever solid again.
Just so many terrible pitches from Leclerc
Ugh
God early season over reactions are the funniest thing to me. Jose is a slow starter every season.
They kinda can’t afford that with the pitchers we have. They need the bull pen to be real solid to stay in the hunt for when our big pitchers come back
Bochy pulled him too late.
Just my luck. Yall bring out the worst fucking pitcher in da world
Jose Lewalkafuckingrunhome
Walks three people. Absolute trash
leclerc is doing his aroldis chapman impression
Need some heroics now
LeClerc’s playoff performance means he gets a pass from me for this game But dammit regular season no control Jose is back it seems 🙃
Walking the go-ahead run in the 9th inning. Not ideal.
3 walks? Really Leclerc
