    Haven’t been this excited to pick up the Dallas Morning News in a long time. Add it to the collection. The last titles my teams have won.

    Man, how I wish my dad could have been here to see this. Biggest Rangers fan ever. I was on the phone with him in 2011 when we needed one more strike. I’ve never heard such a crushed, disappointed rea

As someone that has suffered through like 200 shitty VAR calls in soccer this sets a new bar for worst review call I’ve ever seen.

In time and completely the fuck out of the way

You all were robbed on that one. 

Ump made the right call on the field. 

Fuckity Fuck Fuck. NY fucked this up bad.

Hate when it fucking embeds the tweet above. 

If anything is impeding the runner's path to the plate, it's the fucking bat that his teammate dropped (and the umpire neglected to move).

We got fucked, right in the anus.

But there is zero evidence we would have won later. Like I said, fuck ‘em up next. 

The point is that it took a toss-up game and gave the W to Chicago.

On a 100% bullshit overturn of a good call on the field.

Robbery from NYC.

It did not ‘give the game to Chi’. Most of you couldn’t spell Rangers if I spotted you the first 5 letters.

Shit happens, move on. We play again tonight. 

the issue is that MLB needs to get their shit together.  no one is saying that the play/call absolutely cost the Rangers the game. as with any game with a shitty call there are other things that could affect the outcome.  It needs to be bitched about a lot so it gets corrected moving forward.  there is absolutely no reason for a rule interpretation to overturn that play.

It’s 1 of 162 so it should be easy to move on.  Maybe mlb privately takes a look and informs replay that they shouldn’t have overturned and maybe that helps inform similar plays in the future, but we will never know.

I don’t have to prove my fandom, but dumb mother fuckers like Trash need to get bent. 

Trash, please bump your last post when we were winning.

Sadly, some are saying exactly that. 

I get your point, but I think you are being too harsh. Even for the most prosaic and professional players (and we got to witness one of the most mentally strong and professional at-bats with Simien getting screwed on the strike zone and working a walk and not letting his frustrations get the better of him, just a few innings before), there is an emotional element and a "tilt" as they call it in poker, that can happen to rattle you. The Rangers in the top of the 9th were clearly rattled and put in a pressurized situation where they knew they had to score to extend the game, whereas if the call wasn't botched, there is less pressure and emotions and frustration coursing through the dugout, that who knows what changes.

So I'm okay with saying the umps gave the ChiSox a W whereas I wouldn't go so far as to say the umps cost the Rangers a W. There is a slight distinction there.

Regardless, I have not seen one reporter, outlet, pundit, or professional defend this replay in the slightest, so I think at best we can get an apology and move on, and if not, it's 1 of 162 and this team under Bochy will move on and remember this and I hope Bochy gets Jankowski and Heim a nice steak or an extra helping of ice cream next team dinner.

Why are you so bent out of shape?  It was a shit call.  It had a material impact on the game.  if you want to be precise, the call increased Chicago's win probability from 46.6% to 78.9%.

And by the way, where is it written that Rangers' fandom is measured by the number of posts one has on a college football message board?

Harsh words from someone with logic that would embarrass a fucking kindergartner.

I'm devastated.

Did you watch the game? I highly, highly doubt it. We fucked up with runners in scoring position multiple times, that’s why we lost.

Fortunately we both know you will never be here during a game. 

Enjoy your Wednesday, I will actually watch the game tonight. 

I know LL is too fucking stupid to actually read the thread, that’s the Brisket rubbing off on him, but I kinda made my thoughts clear when the shit happened.

We played like shit and we got beat. Eovaldi was off. Andersen was off. We didn't take advantage of bases juiced 0 outs. We had that WTF error that technically didn't cost us any runs but could have. 

If you play like that in October or against better teams you're going to lose. Yes, it should have been 6-6, but we should have been up 2 runs and not tied.

Yeah, I watched the entire game.  I've watched probably all but about five of our games this season.  What exactly is your point?

And why don't you understand causation?  An event (e.g., the Rangers losing) can have multiple causes.  And yeah, a poor BA with RISP was a cause.  But you're wrong if you think that shit call wasn't a substantial factor.

And again--why are you so bent out of shape?

It was most certainly a substantial factor, but it is also not why we lost. 

You only show up when shit like this happens. Where are you when we are kicking the fuck out of people? 

Front-runner.

You drinking early today?

You should probably go away and not comeback.

Ha, that’s rich.

I promise you, I will be the only mother fucker that never quits.

Convenient for you though, since this is your first post this season.

Yep, fucking nailed it. Fucking imbecile. 

Thank you, greatest Rangers fan of all time. Keep up the good work

Eh, I'm with Spy on this. If you have less than a dozen combined posts in the 2018-2022 Rangers threads fuck right off outta here please and thank you.

I will. You will disappear just like LL & Basil. 

I have to be in here to disappear. Fuck I can't even watch the Rangers games anymore. 

and i wouldn't even be in here now if you weren't going full stupid today.

I think you are overreacting on this thread today, but gotta give credit where credit is due-- this is a very funny post.

The Rangers were not ‘rattled’ in top 9, jesus fuck. That’s comical to even type. 

I mean, I think that could be inferred from a body language perspective alone. At least from the game I was watching. Regardless, I don't think it's so absurd or divorced from reality to be comical to even type as it would be a very rational and human emotion to feel after being robbed by the single worst call of the replay era, in a close game.

Go back to the cloak room you stupid fuck. You never posted in this thread with any of your previous handles and you're only in here now trying to offset the negging you take everywhere else.

Before me

See, here's where you fouled up. You're assuming he started early, when in reality he never stopped.

Boys boys boys boys and ladies, can't we all take a little solace in that the Astros lost again

Amazingly, this is not accurate.

Stupid baseball.

Maybe let’s just put up double digits on these losers tonight and forget this ever happened.

Welcome new fans and posters to the thread. We’ve all been the target of Spy at one point or another. Take a seat, let the game come to you, and shut the fuck up.
