    LETS FUCKING GO BABYYYYY! A dominant offensive performance. God I hated that announcing crew trying to gaslight me the whole game thinking it was ever close early on. Pitching has to be better plain and simple. Back to our house to finish this mf off and get one step closer. One game at a time let’s fucking go Rangers

    Special shoutout to Cody Bradford for being fucking nails today too

  18. More stressful than needed but I will take a W any way it comes, let’s take care of business in TX

  20. They started to let Baltimore come back but held them off and I’ll take it. A win is a win. Let’s get one more at home.

  21. Since I won’t be there in person, I gotta listen to Nadel next game. I was 🤏 this close to Van Gogh’ing both of my ears.

  22. ![gif](giphy|11FiDF2fuOujPG|downsized)

    All this waiting for Garver to show up in the postseason, just to have him hit the grand slam was beautiful

  23. Ok so now we know we need a 6 run lead to feel comfortable bringing in the bullpen.

    I still won’t feel comfortable, to be clear.

  26. WWWW A sixer waiting for you on the plane Mitch Garver walk your way into the ALCS let’s close this bitch out with Globe Life rocking on Tuesday let’s fucking go

  31. All those Bochy doubters — he was letting that Garver Sauce ferment.

    Tons more OOMPH!!!

  34. That score was not indicative of just how much better than them we were today. If we put Leclerc in immediately or kept Sborz than that score stays 11 – 5 imo

  35. What a small victory the Orioles had by losing the first 2 games of the series…. Such a small victory

  36. I had a lot of predictions going into this game but Cody Bradford masterclass was not one of them lmao. Good for him, good for Garv, good for the whole team really. Let’s bring it home Tuesdays boys

  38. *

    9 beers + 9 hot dogs in 9 innings completed. Plus 1 beer for fun. Rolling into cowboys 49ers. Legs gooo!!!

  40. Why are y’all so happy? Didn’t you hear that the O’s are the ones who got all of the small victories? It’s fucking over
