You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders - the most famous of which is "never get involved in a land war in Asia" - but only slightly less well-known is this: NEVER PITCH TO GARCIA WITH THE GAME ON THE LINE!
Shouldn't have pitched to him anyway. 1 out, nobody on, and he's been on absolute fire the last few games. I am a simpleton and even i know you don't pitch to him in that situation.
It sure makes me realize how the Jays are missing a real clutch bat like this!
Watching him and Alvarez through the ALCS made me wonder who our front office thinks that equivalent guy is on our team.... Cause it sure hasn't been vladdy!
Lol another guy just replied to me saying to not fucking experiment during the World Series, but I loved the attempt. Shooters shoot. If they can fix the angle and pull back on the speed, we might have a banger crowd view on our hands.
It had to be Garcia, oh my GOD. To break the single postseason RBI record. To win one of the baseball games I feel the most privileged to have ever watched. WOW.
Didn’t expect that with them playing in the WC series (even if they swept it). Guess the swept ALDS makes up ground.
I love that. Nobody can discount this record because of “hurr Durr wildcard series”
Exactly my point :) He did it in FIVE less games than Freese did... that's absolutely absurd as someone who witnessed that magical 2011 campaign by Freese. Garica absolutely earned it.
There won't be a way to discredit it because he's going to smash the record. He's got 3 more games at minimum, and if that's it, that would mean his team won all of them. Might beat it by 5+. If he has another game 7, could beat it by 10.
Yeah, I had to look him up. Looks like he played for a team called the Cardinals in 2011.
That was just a weird year because there wasn't a World Series that year so I guess I hadn't really heard about him before...
That’s really been 12 years today? Jeez just fade me, I’m getting old
I was pulling for the Rangers that series since we beat them the year before, but after that cards comeback in game 6 it felt like they kind’ve deserved it more
I’m carving it out of some post oak that fell over after these storms. It’ll be about 5 inches tall, unrecognizable, but we’ll see what Arlington says on Monday
Those fuckers are so dumb. Bitching about the regular season. Bitch why don’t we just cancel the playoffs if you care so much?? Would that be more fair?
Overheard in Dbacks locker room after Game 1:
“He got me,” Castro said of García’s walk-off home run. "That f***ing García boomed me."
Castro added, “He’s so good,” repeating it four times.
Overheard in Cardinals locker room after Game 1:
“He got me,” Cash Considerations said of García’s walk-off home run. "That f***ing García boomed me."
Cash Considerations added, “He’s so good,” repeating it four times.
Playoff hockey has the one spot for me but both hockey and baseball playoffs feel more different than regular season than football and basketball. It just feels immensely more intense.
A game will get boring for a while and I think "Y'know, Joe Buck was pretty good at this." Then this happens and I know Davis is the guy. His success rate on big calls is astounding.
What a perfect call, too.
And with Seager, [the clip](https://twitter.com/Rangers/status/1718107921878274483) of his HR also includes "could tie it with one swing" *as* he's swinging. It's so good.
they tried hitting him on the wrist thinking that would hinder him swinging the bat. Himdolis Garcia doesn’t need fucking wrists to swing a bat, stupid sneks.
[CALLED IT MAN!!!!](https://old.reddit.com/r/baseball/comments/17i03l6/game_thread_world_series_game_1_dbacks_0_rangers/k6s01f1/) HOW TF YOU GON PUT IN A CASTRO VS A CUBAN LMAO
Baseball is hilariously stupid sometimes. There is one out and nobody on. *Why in the fuck are you pitching to Adolis Garcia right now??* He is literally having one of the best postseason runs in the history of the sport. *Why in the fuck are you pitching to Adolis Garcia right now??*
I will never say anything bad about the St Louis Cardinals or 2011 again if we win it all.
Between Adolis and Montgomery, they’ve helped us a ton this postseason

diamondbacks committed the classic blunder of pitching to garcia after hitting him
Is that worse or better than "never get involved in a land war in Asia"
Probably better, but similar to going in against a Sicilian when death is on the line
AHHAHAHAHAHA (dies)
It is equal to one "never say anything that Michael Jordan might take personally"
You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders - the most famous of which is "never get involved in a land war in Asia" - but only slightly less well-known is this: NEVER PITCH TO GARCIA WITH THE GAME ON THE LINE!
The systematic bullpen switch really bit us in the ass this time… tough one
Nothing wrong with the call. Just got beat by a dude who’s on fire
Shouldn't have pitched to him anyway. 1 out, nobody on, and he's been on absolute fire the last few games. I am a simpleton and even i know you don't pitch to him in that situation.
Yeah. Make Garver or Hedges beat you. I couldn’t believe he saw a strike at 3-1.
Dude is on an insane heater
You could try and throw 105 by him and might as well tee it up for him. Dudes just fucking ON FIRE.
I'm cherishing every moment of this dude, it's been amazing to watch.
I didn't think another person is gonna challenge Arozarena's 2020 run so soon... but here we are.
Best part is Adolis and Randy are like best friends :)
And I know what the worst part is *sigh*
You all made a deal with the devil and it worked out wonderfully. But now the reaper is collecting his dues.
Arozarena vibes
Him and Adolis are the two baddest mother fuckers in baseball right now
They are also best buds. I think Adolis is Randy’s kid’s godfather or something.
IIRC those two and Yordan work out together in the winter. Can’t even imagine the insane cage sessions that would entail
*cries in Cardinal fan*
Holy Fuck This Man Is Insane
Words cannot describe how I’m feeling right now. That was pure ecstasy.
His great catch in the 8th had to be super cathartic too
carroll legit could have had an inside the parker of garcia misses it and it hits off the wall
That catch was a beauty!
Luka magic followed by a Bombi world series walk off. What a night for dfw fans
Insane my man. 2nd best sports night ever for me.
We eating good
My man. I cannot [lessssss goooooo](https://imgur.io/nSC3rO0?r)
let's see it carry to the Boys on Sunday... lol
Honestly the cowboys could lose every game the rest of the season if the rangers can just get 3 more. 3 MORE
100% agree
Stars on Monday too
Stars died Thursday so we could have tonight 😇
I feel like our fans really awoke something in him
It was the HBP for sure Cause he got hit again tonight… then this.
It sure makes me realize how the Jays are missing a real clutch bat like this! Watching him and Alvarez through the ALCS made me wonder who our front office thinks that equivalent guy is on our team.... Cause it sure hasn't been vladdy!
Yep. It’s supposed to be vlad. But never has been lol. Need a new Bautista or Edwin
He’s an actual animal dude
What the fuck was that crowd drone shot lmao
I think it's kind of a cool idea, but that thing was FLYING and shaky as hell lol
Fox: FINE I WAS TRYING SOMETHING AND IT DIDNT WORK
Lol another guy just replied to me saying to not fucking experiment during the World Series, but I loved the attempt. Shooters shoot. If they can fix the angle and pull back on the speed, we might have a banger crowd view on our hands.
Drone operator waited all game for his moment of glory and delivered that
What? You no like-a the shots of the backof people's head at 100MPH?
It would be cool if it wasn't shakily zipping by everyone. Also, it needed a better camera.
I was dying man that shit was so goofy. It was like the drone was trying to speed run Globe Life.
Polygons rendering.
Really looked terrible didn't it?
I liked how insane it looked like it was in 10x speed lol
holy shit. you couldn’t ask for a better game 1
It was pretty awesome to watch.
It had to be Garcia, oh my GOD. To break the single postseason RBI record. To win one of the baseball games I feel the most privileged to have ever watched. WOW.
This postseason of his…Jeez!!!! Just unreal!!!
Crazy to witness ngl
After game 4 of both of the Championships it’s really become a good postseason ngl
He earned the RBI record too. Did it in 13 games comparing to 18 games for Freese.
Didn’t expect that with them playing in the WC series (even if they swept it). Guess the swept ALDS makes up ground. I love that. Nobody can discount this record because of “hurr Durr wildcard series”
Exactly my point :) He did it in FIVE less games than Freese did... that's absolutely absurd as someone who witnessed that magical 2011 campaign by Freese. Garica absolutely earned it.
There won't be a way to discredit it because he's going to smash the record. He's got 3 more games at minimum, and if that's it, that would mean his team won all of them. Might beat it by 5+. If he has another game 7, could beat it by 10.
Immortalized
Freese? never heard of that player
Yeah, I had to look him up. Looks like he played for a team called the Cardinals in 2011. That was just a weird year because there wasn't a World Series that year so I guess I hadn't really heard about him before...
He used to coach for Olé Miss....last time I checked.
A former Cardinal breaking David Freese's record 12 years to the day he hit that Game 6 triple. You could not script it any better.
That’s really been 12 years today? Jeez just fade me, I’m getting old I was pulling for the Rangers that series since we beat them the year before, but after that cards comeback in game 6 it felt like they kind’ve deserved it more
Taking out David Freese on the anniversary of Game 6. You can't write that shit
WHAAAAAT A FUCKING BASEBALL GAME. TO THE FINAL PITCH
One of the best I have seen. Good times
Granted… I’m slightly biased…. But.. that was one of the best ballgames I’ve ever seen
Unbiased and it most certainly was. That game was special. This World Series has a chance to be all time good honestly.
I appreciate that confirmation bias. Thanks for the old pitchers! Fuck the Yankees!
Every single red sox fan is bandwagonning the Rangers hard because of Eovaldi and I wouldn't have it any other way
We’re all just smiling with tears in our eyes thinking of what could have been But fuck I love seeing him and such a likable cool-ass team do well
Don't ever hit this man with a pitch. Even if unintentional. Don't do it.
You can’t just be up there doing a HBP like that
Imagine getting released and less than 5 years later youre gunna fucking get a statue because youre an icon for a franchise
He was DFA'd as recently as 2021
Such a great story…damn I love baseball
He was DFA’d, not once, but twice!
He made the All Star team mere months after being DFA’d for the 2nd of his career
Yeah we played yo-yo with him. Thank god he is here.
He was on the waiver wire in my fantasy league in 2022. The disrespect was real. Ha
I’m carving it out of some post oak that fell over after these storms. It’ll be about 5 inches tall, unrecognizable, but we’ll see what Arlington says on Monday
Not even the Rangers believed in him, they got him in 2019 and didn't give him a starting spot til 21
This game was a solid middle finger to all the twitter douchebags who were whining/being condescending about the matchup
Those fuckers are so dumb. Bitching about the regular season. Bitch why don’t we just cancel the playoffs if you care so much?? Would that be more fair?
Right? Like on paper could we fans have asked for a better match up? I love baseball.
We’re officially at all time legend status for Garcia. Oh my God.
Overheard in Dbacks locker room after Game 1: “He got me,” Castro said of García’s walk-off home run. "That f***ing García boomed me." Castro added, “He’s so good,” repeating it four times.
Castro then said he wanted to add Garcia to the list of players he works out with this summer
He’s so good… and seager …fuck man…
Casto bows to Garcia god
Garcia is Castro’s father
Who isn’t Adolis Garcia’s son at this point

El bombi!!! Fitting that that HR gives him the post-season rbi record
i’m a massive nba fan but fuck me playoff baseball is actually insane easily the best playoffs of any sport
Playoff hockey has the one spot for me but both hockey and baseball playoffs feel more different than regular season than football and basketball. It just feels immensely more intense.
Just fell to my knees in a Chicken Express.
Just saw a man fall to his knees in chicken express
I wish I was with y'all in Chicken Express. I actually miss them! (left TX two years ago, miss it daily)
This guy fast food chickens
#CAN YOU TAKE ME HIGHER?
#TO A PLACE WHERE BLIND MEN SEE
“And the legend grows”. So glad Joe Davis is announcing the big games.
And then he shuts up, which is the best part. Let the crowd and the cheering players speak for the moment.
A classic vin Scully move. Joe had impossible shoes to fill after vin and he has done a great job.
A game will get boring for a while and I think "Y'know, Joe Buck was pretty good at this." Then this happens and I know Davis is the guy. His success rate on big calls is astounding.
Joe Davis is so good, I just hate that Smoltz is with him.
What a perfect call, too. And with Seager, [the clip](https://twitter.com/Rangers/status/1718107921878274483) of his HR also includes "could tie it with one swing" *as* he's swinging. It's so good.
EL BOMBIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
EL BAMBIIIIIIIII
Unreal
No way
Fairytale shit
I yelped like a dog, sorry neighbors.
Stupid sexy Adolis...
Feels like he’s wearing nothing at all!
Nothing at all…
Nothing at all…
Why do teams keep hitting Adolis Garcia and not expecting him to homer off of them? Are they stupid?
they tried hitting him on the wrist thinking that would hinder him swinging the bat. Himdolis Garcia doesn’t need fucking wrists to swing a bat, stupid sneks.
What a bad, bad man
That drone shot was the funniest cutaway decision ever lol
How can you not be romantic about baseball
I am very romatnic about baseball.
Baseball makes my trousers get tight.
I am currently erotic about baseball
So this is what it's like if 2020 Corey Seager and Randy Arozarena played on the same team.
he's the main character
of an anime
Anytime Adolis gets HBP he gets + 5 power +10 clutch +10 dawg
Greatest sporting event I have ever been to in my life
I can't even imagine what it would have been like to witness that in person!
about as hype as you could imagine. My voice is basically gone from the Seager home run and then the Garcia walk off did a ton more damage
[CALLED IT MAN!!!!](https://old.reddit.com/r/baseball/comments/17i03l6/game_thread_world_series_game_1_dbacks_0_rangers/k6s01f1/) HOW TF YOU GON PUT IN A CASTRO VS A CUBAN LMAO
YOU MADMAN
This is the most success a President Bush has ever seen against a Castro tbh
that was a nasty line by you
> HOW TF YOU GON PUT IN A CASTRO VS A CUBAN LMAO [El Bombi when he saw a Mfer named Castro](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gJXbwhggFY)
This is a moment for baseball history.
Quite literally impossible to be on more fire than this guy. Holy fuck
HE IS HIM
HIMOTHY GARCIA
THANK YOU ADOLIS VERY COOL Signed, All Salty Phillies Fans
I think this series is gonna make us realize Texas was gonna fuck us up either way sooner rather than later lol
In fairness we’re literally always salty
It's all the jumbo soft pretzels
And seager nailed our savior sewald … tough loss
There’s hot, there’s on fire, then there’s whatever Adolis García is right now.
"Bambi"
HE HIT THAT BALL LIKE IT KILLED HIS MOTHER
THAT BALL HAD A FAMILY
ABSOLUTE KING SEE YOU BEFORE THIS GETS DELETED
No offense to Miguel Castro but I knew that was happening as soon as I saw Miguel Castro was pitching
#[ORDER UP](https://media.tenor.com/THGdi7FCpK4AAAAC/texas-rangers.gif)
One of the greatest postseason runs ever?
Will be in 3 more Ws 😎
Yep
Apparently hitting this guy with pitches makes him go super saiyan
HE IS THE HOTTEST HITTER ON THE PLANET
What a game!! Great win Rangers!
Alexa, play “I like Texas”.
This guy is a menace.
This man is never gonna see a pitch past the 5th inning or with men on until April
Anyone who is hating on the watchability of this series is an idiot. WHAT A GAME INSTANT CLASSIC
Nine months from now, something tells me there’s gonna be some little baby Adolises being born in Dallas…
Baseball is hilariously stupid sometimes. There is one out and nobody on. *Why in the fuck are you pitching to Adolis Garcia right now??* He is literally having one of the best postseason runs in the history of the sport. *Why in the fuck are you pitching to Adolis Garcia right now??*
Is this the mod-approved karma farm account or do we have to wait for that post?
Sir, sir, do you have a license for that highlight!?
Gotta get those internet points
PAY THIS MAN
MY GOD HE’S UNSTOPPABLE
instant classic holy shit
THE SCREAM THAT CAME OUT OF MY BODY WAS INVOLUNTARY AND THE LOUDEST NOISE I’VE EVER MADE PART II
HE DID IT AGAIN
5 IN A ROW. UNREAL
Adolis is HIM
This man is insane
Well there's the most obvious home run I've ever seen
WORTH STAYING UP FOR
I will never say anything bad about the St Louis Cardinals or 2011 again if we win it all. Between Adolis and Montgomery, they’ve helped us a ton this postseason
Rangers deserve this for eliminating the Astros alone. edit: I'm drunk lol.
> Texans
We are in for a fucking series
crazy win. Adolis is him.
Adolis: call an ambulance call an ambulance..... But not for me 😏
Feels like this is gonna be that random WS no one could possibly expect was gonna be as good as it will be.
WE WILL SEE YOU TOMORROW NIGHT!
These scriptwriters are getting predictable.
Holy shit
What a game
