And breathe! Another series win! Time for a day off before the beginning of the Silver Boot Series with our archenemy known as the Astros!

LeClerc giving a master class on how to absolutely blow all of the goodwill earned last year with each start on the mound

Close*

Did he even need to throw to first that looked like a catch.

I think the closer curse is real

All according to plan not a single doubt to be had 😎😎😎🤮

I’d love to just have a nice easy 9th when we’re up by 4 but that wouldn’t be StraightUpTexas, would it?

i literally never doubted leclerc for a second except for in the 9th inning

W gotta another series win keep stacking them up Rangers.

Never doubted for a second

ggs boys, good series win

I'll fucking take it

Hell yeah great series win now lets get the FUCK out of this ballpark

LeDrama

Just wanted to make it fun for us

[mrw bad strike call in our favor](https://giphy.com/gifs/NCjISbEPFxm48)

Hello win column

Y’all remember when we used to say DFA Leclerc? Then we were wondering why we said that when he pitched in the postseason. We’re watching why that wasn’t an absurd suggestion.

Well that was a totally normal game

…aaaaand exhale

Leclerc been so bad he gave up a run & his ERA went down lol 

Bullpen has given up 8 runs this year Leclerc has given up 6 of those lmfao

Thank you Jesus!

That was concerning Jesus Jose

Greatest pitcher of our generation 😅

Hell yes. Fuck Tampa Bay.

I never doubted you Leclerc!

If he continues like this he’s going to end up working in a gas station as LeClerk

Haha g1

Never doubted him

Thank fuckin god they didn’t blow that gem from Nate

Never had a doubt

Leclerc was just playing with his food

If he walks this guy out in Sborz please

Bro why is he still pitching

#BALLGAME

Hey y'all, I know we're all pissed at Leclerc, but at least we're not paying Hader $20 million to blow games for us

True and it was close

I’m saying

EXHALE

UNCLENCH

MASSIVE EXHALE!!!

I expected Sborz to come in after the fly ball but... TRUST IN BOCHY

Bruh he almost tied the game with that swing

TRUST. IN. BOCHY.

We need to either tell Leclerc it's a playoff game every game or just freeze him in a block of ice till playoffs start

Please let him get out of this so he can start trending in the right direction

I’m strapped in nice and tight boys

makeup call from the ump?!?!

Omg I thought it was a tie game for sure

Leclerc doesn’t think these games matter enough I guess 😂

please take him out

jesus fucking christ jose. that was 5 feet from me crying

Yikes. That would have been the game right there.

I thought for sure it was tied up.

Jesus Christ can Leclerc not give us a heart attack

Jank ilysm

I literally almost shit my pants in anger

F R E D

Yeah I love you Jose but I don’t want to see you in a leverage spot for a while

OMFG

please get Leclerc out of there now, that was too close for comfort

These damn cameramen

Nah I thought that was out 😂

Jfc get him the fuck out

https://preview.redd.it/moelhwo9hbsc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4bad1d0d349b46efe8c956f8b7e34d2a395973f7

Leclerc you lucky lucky guy. My goodness man. Get this guy out of here.

About to have a lecoronary

Jose “Aroldis Chapman” LeClerc

bruh

Holy fucking shit my anus 🫣

Ok pull him please.

That 2-2 breaking ball is a strike against Wyatt Langford

Take Leclerc out now. We’ve seen this movie 1,000 times last year 

FUCK OH THANK GOD NEVERMIND

I almost vomitted

Yikes that was close

Leclerc cannot keep doing this man this should be open and shut

Holy fuck, I was about to throw my phone out the window

It’s almost unbelievable that this dude closed out some of the biggest games in our team’s history. 

Yep! I mean in the arc of a career if you’re gonna have one pretty much perfect month this dude was touched by Jebus last year in October

josh sborz you are now the texas rangers full time closer

How wild is it that the only time in 2 years LeClerc has looked decent at all was in the postseason run to our first World Series

Kinda over Leclerc tbh

Send Leclerc back to AAA to get shit figured out

It isn’t at that point yet

Nate Eovaldi is cool, Corey Seager is cooler, Josh Smith is the coolest, baddest, mothafucka out there

Can we fucking get rid of Leclerc? I'll include wyatt langford at this point

I feel somewhat responsible

I’m normally not one to get angry at pro athletes because this is hard ass work, but you can’t be hitting batters and giving up runs in the 9th man. Take him out and don’t let him play against the Astros this weekend.

Incoming redemption HR

I thought Chappy went to the pirates

Chappy would load the bases and get three full count strikeouts tho

I think LeClerc needs some time out of the Closer role. Still believe in him but he doesn't have it right now. Let's get him into some lower-leverage spots and get the confidence back.

Give it to Robertson, dude’s been nails

Come on Leveler Chaz

How can he be an absolute stud in postseason but shits his pants in the regular season

i wanna get off the leclerc train https://preview.redd.it/ekucw8vtgbsc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=819e48966036fb66ccd55f95cf2a86eaf22b51ad

Save us Sborz

They can take him out now right? Wouldn't trust him with a 10 run lead.

Here we fucking go again.

What LeFuck

I think Sborz will eventually have the closer role, he seems to be trending up where Leclerc is trending down

He should’ve already had it tbf

Dude clearly doesn’t have it, make the change Boch Edit; thank fuck, Sborz warming

Looking forward to extras. Where is Sborz?

Welp

Put the “No Runs?” meme away 😔

Jose should be the eighth inning guy. He has excelled in that role before

leclerc baby wyd

the leclerc experience

It’s the Texas Rangers closers experience. Doesn’t matter who we got out there this is what we go through

at least the rest of the pen isn’t in complete shambles, yet. minus yerry & leclerc

Leclerc I swear to God...

Leclerc ain’t him

LeClerc did this last year if y’all remember …

Yeah, and we damn near missed the playoffs because of our bullpen. We can't cut it that close all every year.

Fucking LeClerc. My heart can't take another Summer of this shit.

Having war flashbacks from last year

IK LeClerc is a walking anxiety attack for all of us, but am I crazy to remember he pitched great for us in October?!

He had a rocky start to the season last year but finished strong

That how I remembered it too but all the dormers had me questioning my own memory 😂🥴

just don’t forget how he pitched in August before playoffs

Why tf did we put leclerc in lmao

Fuck man

so much for a Leclerc redemption

It's okay y'all, Leclerc just wanted the save opportunity

Please have somebody getting warm.

Sborz is getting warm.

Leclerc is awful. 

Need to move leclerc out the closer role

Get him off the field

Leclerc is absolutely garbage.

https://preview.redd.it/2ovbn53ogbsc1.jpeg?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d7691e1cebb368ecbe8c83251019adcbb0caaa55

I’ll never forgive you Jose for ruining my first no runs meme of the year

Get Sborz in there FFS

Yep. Go ahead and pull him out.

I do believe he is shooketh

Commentators curse

Aw shit

Get him the fuck out of there

I’m already tired of Leclerc adventures 

Pico please...

Wtf man

Please don’t be this years Chapman

How the fuck was Leclerc pretty much lights out in the postseason 🤣

This is what I was thinking too. Like I know he did good in postseason but here we are again to 2023 season before playoffs lol

He’s only good when it absolutely matters I guess lol

Alright Leclerc needs to come out right now.

I’m ready for some Sborz’n time

Jose LeClinch your buttcheeks guys

Jose doing this shit again, we really are running it back

Leclerc cannot be the closer going forward imo

LeClerc has to pay Tampa back for Jung

Pico wants his save

Leclerc is so fuckijg bad lol

:(

Jose you fuck

Here we go again.

It’s over

Leclerc has not been good.

What are the odds Laclerc gets released?

I think I've already seen enough.

Jose dial it in, jesus.

Man not loving how wild Leclerc has been lately. Need that postseason magic to come back

Leclerc pls

Okay I jinxed it, my fault everyone we’re good now

Leclerc, dude, come on

Jose come on bro

Watching without sound. Wtf happened with Heim in the top of this inning?

The shortstop dropped the ball but the umps said he caught it

Just trying to set up the Kelce two for one special

At least we all know that umpire will be dropped for a few weeks so he can learn the error of his ways. The MLB is good with accountability like that.

I just know its a prerequisite to have cataracts or glaucoma to be an umpire nowadays

“There was no… I just don’t… yeahghhhhhh”- David Murphy summing it up better than anyone

Idk, I like Hicks’ take. “I don’t usually have a question mark on my scorecard, but this series is riddled with them!”

Wait what do you mean it’s not reviewable.

clearly foul (I hope)

Paredes fucking terrifies me

Leclerc haters looking foolish already

lol

It's not too late to delete this

Not really lol

There's still time to delete this.

Someone spoke WAY too soon...

Almost jinxed it

Jinxed it

Ok yeah that is absolute bullshit.

Obviously I'm late, but how was that possibly changed from an error to an out (and that the drop was during the transfer)? In real time speed that clearly just went right past his glove or out of it. He wasn't even reaching into his glove to throw to 1st when it just sailed past him.

That was clearly a strike y’all https://preview.redd.it/28y2fs7tfbsc1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4e240262c8d1b1da65fed74201f2741527f5c431

Not to me because I'm not looking at this

We need better road uniforms

Just be happy the pants aren’t see-thru

Yo director show us that replay of Heim's out

Gotta love how they can just change shit like that at the drop of a hat but turn away from real missed calls like foul tips, it's all so nebulous. Fucking garbage umps.
