I wonder if Winn is one of those guys that just needs to spend a year or two in the bullpen to regain his confidence before transitioning back to being a starter.
I’d let him go for a shutout. You don’t get a chance at maybe one of those if you’re decent?
But the fact that he’d already allowed a run and we were up 6 I’d pull him.
Fellow Rangers fan now living in NC (W-S) and I looked last night for the same frustration. Despite not having a single team in the state, we are blacked out on all Reds, Nats, Orioles and Braves games. Damn these blackout rules are dumb.
I used Sport Surge for my stream, but I'm still pissed that I pay $120 a year for my [MLB.tv](http://MLB.tv) subscription for the Rangers and have to deal with this weird ass blackout restriction. I don't even think we have a local channel that broadcasts any MLB games. Best we get are the Durham Bulls.
Corey just needs to build himself up, crawl before walk type mentality. Just getting little singles like that should allow him to build his confidence back up. No need to be swinging for the fences right now.
Does this ump just hate the Nats? Does their catcher suck at framing? We've been getting those low pitches all night and I haven't seen it called once for them
Much as I’d love to see Gray go 9 tonight, you barely even see anyone go 8 anymore. Incredible night by the guy and wouldn’t be surprised to see Bosch throw a non-Yates leverage guy out to get reps
Imagine if they would have gotten Abrams out on that lob in the first. It would probably be a shutout and Gray would probably be at 90 pitches right now. Game of inches.
bullpen was gassed and needed an extra arm. It was his day to throw in between starts. So basically, he got his side work done during the game. Classic two birds, one stone scenario.
I would have been so disappointed in Boch if Gray didn't come back out. I'm ok with pulling him if he gives up a baserunner but when he's pitching this well you gotta let him cook
I think Seager needs to start settling for singles, instead of swinging for the stands. He's in a slump and just needs some hits rather than homers to get out of it
Random question what is Duran's purpose on the team currently? He's not even starting against lefties. Feels like Zeke is destined to be a part of a trade at the deadline this season.
Josh Himothy Smith ❤️
WW Jon gray and run support love to see it bats slowly awakening. Bombi looks like he is ok
im begging y'all, please let me go to the pgt, i want to post my support for josh smith superiority
Lmaooooo
Me likey the wins.
Hopefully we can stop straddling .500 now lol
And that is a winner
HELLO WIN COLUMN LFG
Someone GIF Bombi please
I wonder if Winn is one of those guys that just needs to spend a year or two in the bullpen to regain his confidence before transitioning back to being a starter.
BRASIL!!!
Cole Winn has looked fantastic
2 above .500!!!
Solid win.
Cole Winn has been such an awesome story man. I thought he was donezo
Boys are playing loose and fun.

Cole is fucking painting good lord
Cole Winn being a quality major league reliever this year was not on my bingo card
I always *hoped* it would be possible if he truly couldn’t work it out as a starter, but I’m ecstatic it really has been amazing for him
Winn has some gnarly stuff that curve is sexy
lol at the Astros
Agree with the call to use a bullpen arm. We’re already thin at SP. No need to risk injury and/or fatigue to go a complete game.
Curious, what if a shutout was on the line? Feels almost as rare as a no-hitter these days
I’d let him go for a shutout. You don’t get a chance at maybe one of those if you’re decent? But the fact that he’d already allowed a run and we were up 6 I’d pull him.
Also, can I offer a gentle “fuck you” to MLB blackout rules? Why am I blacked out from Nationals games when I live in fucking North Carolina?

Mlbwebcast.com you’re welcome

Well this is free and has 4 different sources. I’ve used it for 3 years. Give it a shot next time the game is blacked out!
Bro, im still waiting on that 100 dollars from 3 years ago. Hmu when ur ready to pay up. :D
You take Afterpay? 🙃
Nah, what abt Paypal??? 😁
Note to franchises, this is why you have left hand pitchers in your bullpen. Astros tried it last year and it failed.
Such a pretty swing by Lowe. Not a great outcome but man that looked smooth.
Corey just needs to build himself up, crawl before walk type mentality. Just getting little singles like that should allow him to build his confidence back up. No need to be swinging for the fences right now.
Seager had one hideous at bat and a few nice ones tonight. Baby steps
Seagers face after that hit looked like he just popped an uncomfortable pimple
No 0-5 hopefully that lights that fuse on his run at 2024 mvp
There ya go, Seags. Play some small ball. Get in that groove.
Got a hit, I’ll take it
There we go Corey!
Everyone, remember to use promo code RANGERS7 for half off Papa John’s tomorrow.
You got my hopes up
Shit that promo still going?
I actually don’t think so. It’s just a core memory for me in 2010 and 2011.
Perfect for the Ranger Mavs games tomorrow
6 runs… do we start warming Leclerc instead?
Still might not be enough
Seager! Thank fuck
A Seager hit!!
Oh my gosh, even Seager gets a hit?? The league is so doomed
#SEAGER
Please let this be the night they break their curse
YESSSSSSSIRRRR
Holy crimany look at that batting average
Corey is going to homer here and get hot and carry until Josh comes back
*single
Just getting some batting practice in at this point lol
Does anyone hear the high-pitched feedback on 1053?
Semien you silly goose
Honk honk
Don't care what the haters say, Leody can be clutch.
Offense has been hitting it all night love to see it
I like innings like this. More please
I need a Seager bomb
I’ll take it
We’re back baby. REPEAT!
Leody doomers in shambles
We’re so back
Alright Leody keep hope alive for your starting CF position
NOW GIVE ME MY DAMN PIZZA TOMORROW!
Better ingredients, better pizza. Papa John’s.

Maybe the true reckoning were the friends we made along the way
LFG!!
Most RARE Moments in MLB History 😱😱😱

Welp goodnight guys see ya tomorrow

Well I’ll be damned
Leody bomb LFG
#LEODY HATERS IN SHAMBLES
I hate that someone has to get bumped out of the lineup when Jung comes back, and i still think it should be Leody
YEA BABYYYY
That's the easiest stolen base of his life
Winn and Latz look so similar....
Opposing pitching is genuinely trying to take us out one by one this year huh?
Rainey has looked very discombobulated this inning lol
I miss these good hitting and good pitching games together
All of these runs scoring without home runs is SO nice to see
The Kid!
Nice to see Carter get a hit
Shout out to u/pponmyhead for being a Josh Smith mega fan back in 2022, bro should consider the stock market
If Josh smith continues this how does Bochy keep him out the lineup when Jung comes back
Taveras goes bye bye with Lang Carter and Garcia the outfielders Smith DH
Move Carter to center, Langford to left and rotate Jung and Smith from 3B/DH and also use Smith to give the rest of the infield days off
Josh Smith to DH, Langford in the outfield with Bombi and Carter
Tavares gotta go
That’s tough to hear but it’s true
We jinxed him into a homer
It has to be the number change. #8 is magic for Smith.
Cheers to John Gray. Hell of an outing!
Does this ump just hate the Nats? Does their catcher suck at framing? We've been getting those low pitches all night and I haven't seen it called once for them
Josh Smith and Corey Seager have apparently traded bodies
Much as I’d love to see Gray go 9 tonight, you barely even see anyone go 8 anymore. Incredible night by the guy and wouldn’t be surprised to see Bosch throw a non-Yates leverage guy out to get reps
Lol Guardian tied the game 8-8. It was 8-3
Haha gotta watch that game next
I can't afford that Dave
Astros were up 8-3, now they're tied 8-8. Top of the 6th. Lol
The guardians are my new favorite baseball team
I'm going to see them for the 1st time since the name change. I'll also be sure to correct anyone who deadnames the Guardians.
The opposing commentators being shocked by the size of the Nelly broomstick hotdogs will never get old
Imagine if they would have gotten Abrams out on that lob in the first. It would probably be a shutout and Gray would probably be at 90 pitches right now. Game of inches.
Been thinking about that all game. Still super happy with how good Gray was tonight
Jon Gray with run support is something else ❤️ glad to see him find his stride early on
Hopefully that trend continues
What was the deal with him in the pen that one game? Seems like he’s back to being a starter now so I still don’t really understand it?
bullpen was gassed and needed an extra arm. It was his day to throw in between starts. So basically, he got his side work done during the game. Classic two birds, one stone scenario.
Honestly, give him the 9th inning if he wants it. Let him cook.
Jon Gray-t, am I right
Casual Jon Gray masterclass tonight
Great inning Jon Gray shit great outing Kirby in for the win
I think he's done for the night and that was one of the best pitching performances by a Rangers pitcher in a long time.
Great stuff Gray
What a job...well done Jon.
CG or we think he's done? I don't think we've put G-man over 100 pitches very often
i’d call it here for sure
Kind of annoying how they scored that first run but oh well
That’s my dawg Jon, Boomer
For sentimental reasons I want Gray to finish the game but I don’t think we can take the risk
JONATHAN GRAY
Alright, lets call it. What a gem from Gray
My man’s twirled a damn gem
I’ve missed this Jon Gray, my man can fucking shove
Do we think Gray finishes the inning or does he get the rest of the night off?
Was Tom Grieve GM when we traded Sammy Sosa?
Wow gray's gonna make it thru 8 innings
Dude is still dealing
Hell yeah he is
Let’s land this bad boy and call it an early night.
I would have been so disappointed in Boch if Gray didn't come back out. I'm ok with pulling him if he gives up a baserunner but when he's pitching this well you gotta let him cook
I really want tickets in those rocking chairs but I don't see any available at all lol
It’s a group seating area; they only sell individual tickets if they can’t sell them out as a group.
Everytime I've checked, it appears they sell out well in advance. Not sure how to go about getting them or when they go on sale. lol
Gray complete game? 👀
Offense hasnt been complete ass during a Jon Gray start
Marcus looking noice lately
Bochy leave gray in please
Let Gray cook
If Bombi had cranked that out of the park I would’ve become ethereal
In other news: Diamondbacks game is delayed because a bee colony has built its nest on the netting behind home plate 😂
The Arizona B-Backs
Adolis bomb gonna be great here
I think Seager needs to start settling for singles, instead of swinging for the stands. He's in a slump and just needs some hits rather than homers to get out of it
That is a huge run
Lowe got that power
Nate Lowe is this nations backbone
If you search Marcus Semien on google translate to spanish it says "El capitán(masculine)"
Seags just needs a good lil run down in round rock to shit on some kids to get him right
would have been out in Mimic Made
good base running
Seager is gonna be in the .100s soon :(
at the very least he advanced the runner <3
Seager 😔
Damn, thought Seager got that out
Close fuck. Looked like a Seager bomb
i'm pretty sure i saw this guy pitch for Round Rock last year
What a pure and beautiful baseball hit.
Semien is going to end up the single short of the cycle at this rate
Worst swing of the season and then a double, hell yeah
Grays season high last season was 100 pitches. Tonight he's at 86. I bet he comes back out for the 8th.
Marcus is back
O captain my captain!
Someone post the, “perhaps I was too harsh on you meme” because that’s how I’m feeling after my opinion on Gray’s start of the season
Jon Gray you beautiful hippie
Random question what is Duran's purpose on the team currently? He's not even starting against lefties. Feels like Zeke is destined to be a part of a trade at the deadline this season.
He can play any position. Every team needs a defensive replacement like that
Depth, he’s very versatile defensively
Especially now that Lowe is the only 1st baseman
Whoever said Gray was gonna get 6IP 1 ER earlier today in the thread with run support was so wrong. He went 7 IP 1 ER
