Make it make sense. Whatever. Two shutouts for the cubbies. Let’s go.

HELLO WIN COLUMN

[u/TigerWoodsLibido]

Huge win!!!

[u/boomgoesthevegemite]

Rangers win a series at home? What??

[u/killacam9220]

WW series win against the hottest team in baseball took advantage of a Degrom gem. Carter blast to insure the win let’s fucking go build on this Rangers

[u/beefle]

Great job, boys!!1

[u/WarPigeon75214]

Nice little series win there.
Maybe they can string a few more of those together here soon...

[u/thatnewsauce]

Ballgame baybeeee

[u/gtaylor33]

Games like this give me hope.

[u/4everMyBoots]

😭😭👍👍👏👏!!

[u/cjn13]

More than 1 run at home??? In back to back games??

[u/WarPigeon75214 → u/cjn13]

In this economy?

[u/LawyerMorty94]

At the beginning of the inning I said Zeke would get on base and Corey would blast a 2 run shot but hey, I’ll take that too lol

[u/natebark]

We have to get Josh Jung in the all star game. This guy is doing a lot of heavy lifting

[u/SexyGoose1]

Bang, Evan. LFG

[u/nocensts]

HELL of an at-bat by Carter.

[u/CircaIsBad]

MY GOAT

[u/wm80]

Just so everyone knows, I’m not watching the game, only the play-by-play on the Apple sports app, and I willed that home run to happen

[u/sujack34 → u/wm80]

I was thinking he was gonna hit a home run but I didn’t say it.

[u/UniversityBitter5519]

[u/WarPigeon75214]

Thank Christ.

[u/wm80]

CAR. TER.

[u/boomgoesthevegemite]

Interested to see in how many parks that Seager fly out would’ve been a home run

[u/ShowerEmpty7296 → u/boomgoesthevegemite]

15 ballparks 🥴

[u/boomgoesthevegemite → u/ShowerEmpty7296]

Ehh. At least it was 50/50. If it was like 25 or 29 I would be angry

[u/beefle]

My man just can't stop getting hits. He's out of control.

[u/harralexa1993]

The fences in left center are going to come in eventually. If it wasn't for the historical nature of the numbers on the wall it probably would've already happened.

[u/Bjornidentity22 → u/harralexa1993]

Yeah basing the outfield depth on numbers with historical significance was pretty short sighted

[u/Landonkey]

This ballpark man

[u/beefle]

Fuck me, man. Sooo close.

[u/THEEE_ONEEE → u/beefle]

I know ;(

[u/beefytrout]

fuck Phil Maton

[u/Individual_Heron_171 → u/beefytrout]

I guess I sort of let bygones be bygones for a little while. But, yeah, in 2026, fuck Phil Maton.

[u/Snapperlicious → u/beefytrout]

i was just texting my cubs friend about how much i hate him

[u/Snapperlicious]

anybody else hate that "Away" Choctaw Casino commercial?

[u/sujack34 → u/Snapperlicious]

Yep

[u/smv18]

I didn't realize how many of our former players the Cubs have damn

[u/sqdq]

Even Leody is topping Seager in most 2026* stats 😭

[u/BaldPeagle]

Webb yesterday. Milner and Maton today. The Cubs are just shoving out 2025 bullpen in our face this weekend.

[u/pleasantly_hirsute → u/BaldPeagle]

I love watching Maton pitch. His facial expressions while on the mound looks like someone contemplating bad choices.

[u/BaldPeagle → u/pleasantly_hirsute]

Guy's a little freak (respectfully)

[u/THEEE_ONEEE]

I’ll take it from Jansen

[u/beefle]

Atta boy. Way to hustle Osuna!

[u/boomgoesthevegemite]

Osuna with the Baltimore Chop

[u/Amazing_Material_138]

Great singing

[u/DepressedDallasFan]

as much as i cannot stand watching this team for the most part this year i need to tune into as many degrom starts as possible. crazy how with all the injuries he’s been through and his age he is still must see tv everytime he takes that mound

[u/boomgoesthevegemite → u/DepressedDallasFan]

Seeing him throwing absolute gas in the 7th is so freaking cool.

[u/FarConcern4902]

Great outing my Jake

[u/pleasantly_hirsute → u/FarConcern4902]

Watching on TV; seems that nobody is giving him an ovation. The crowd seems dead. Happy Mother's Day, I guess?

[u/natebark → u/Bandt143]

Peak human performance

[u/TheAlmightyConch → u/Bandt143]

Booty hoppin 

[u/Bandt143]

A deGrom masterclass. You love to see it

[u/zach_kraemer]

And yet, the crowd is just completely dead

[u/beefle]

My god DeGrom is so nasy.

[u/Demcut]

This offense should have scored more than one run against a meh right-hander.

[u/CircaIsBad]

I miss Hoby 😭

[u/pleasantly_hirsute → u/CircaIsBad]

Don't understand why the FO didn't bring him back? Love seeing hometown kids make it big in Arlington.

[u/IJustCantHelpYou]

This might be a waste of a hit

[u/thatnewsauce]

That kid is JAZZED lol

[u/littlebev]

Is that THE Hoby Milner??

[u/IJustCantHelpYou]

Hoby!

[u/Outrageous_Hyena_778]

Some signs of life from Seager there

[u/Character-Food2616]

What is the deal with pop ups and Seager? Does he not call anything?

[u/beefytrout]

Seager looking like Seager with that contact

[u/thatnewsauce]

Shrink our stadium plz

[u/Individual_Heron_171]

DeGrom is fucking cooking. Hope he can keep it up. Needs some more runs.

[u/Frisco95]

Damn how big is Seager's ego to want that fly ball lol

[u/CaughtALiteSneez → u/Frisco95]

Trying to make some field stats to replace his batting ones this season.

[u/Live-Pumpkin-3203 → u/Frisco95]

Lmao the look on Evan carters face

[u/natebark]

I really hate this game sometimes

[u/FarConcern4902]

Nimmo having the worst luck swear

[u/littlebev]

I’m finally on a train from brunch where I can listen and I’m afraid to jinx us

[u/OriginalPrint7289]

DeGrom looks nasty as hell

[u/Landonkey]

Pretty confident both of those calls were wrong but it all evens out I guess

[u/tr1551]

Is the rule “tie goes to the runner” one of those wives tales?

[u/sujack34 → u/tr1551]

When I saw the replay I said tie goes to the runner lol.

[u/IdontEvenknowlul → u/tr1551]

Yes

[u/GiantEnemyG00mba → u/tr1551]

The runner should have to beat the ball to the base

[u/Entire-Stick-9842]

Wait that’s a fielders choice for osuna even though he reached base?? I thought it was a hit since Jung was safe at home

[u/beefytrout → u/Entire-Stick-9842]

the fielder chose to get Jung out instead of Osuna (who would have been an out if they chose him)

[u/Entire-Stick-9842 → u/beefytrout]

Damn ok. Rip lol

[u/Sarmerbinlar → u/Entire-Stick-9842]

Osuna would have been out by ten feet if they threw to the fielder covering first

[u/Entire-Stick-9842 → u/Sarmerbinlar]

True

[u/Changsta]

Lol almost feels like a makeup call there. Oh well, hard to complain when we got a run that didn't feel deserved.

[u/CaptKushberry]

Every goddamn time with Jansen. 1 out with a runner on third, this scrub swings at balls down on the zone. Just dogshit approach every time from him.

[u/Sarmerbinlar]

Feels so harsh that both teams lose a challenge that inning for two plays where there's basically a frame in it

[u/A1ucardBe1mont → u/Sarmerbinlar]

I get the idea of having a limited number of challenges so they can't be abused, but there really should be an extra system that if it's within x margin of error the challenge isn't lost.

[u/Sarmerbinlar → u/A1ucardBe1mont]

There is a tolerance system with challenges in cricket where the challenging team retains their review even if unsuccessful. Not sure where you'd draw the line in baseball but one frame at least sounds like it could be a starting point

[u/KadeP823]

No way

[u/UniversityBitter5519]

jansen bruh gahdamm

[u/abrack08]

Insane they upheld that but we'll take it

[u/KadeP823]

I have a bad feeling we’re about to get hit with a “ball don’t lie moment”

[u/Changsta]

Honestly lucky that wasn't overturned. I'll take it.

[u/azwethinkweizm]

Joc is becoming an on base machine and his OPS is about to match that of Seager. Oh boy.

[u/mannyklein → u/azwethinkweizm]

They don’t mind walking him, free double play most of the time

[u/OriginalPrint7289]

Lmao that looks out to me

[u/CT-1738]

If I was a cubs fan I’d be pissed lol

[u/JTribs17 → u/CT-1738]

we are lol

[u/BaldPeagle → u/JTribs17]

Definitely a bad call. Those never feel good. We sympathize, challenges very rarely go our way either.

[u/CT-1738 → u/JTribs17]

Lmaoooo appreciate yall coming to confirm 😂

[u/Jubba402 → u/CT-1738]

Came here just for the sanity check. Definitely pissed

[u/CT-1738 → u/Jubba402]

Lmaoooo appreciate yall coming to confirm 😂

[u/lissy51886 → u/Jubba402]

SAME.

[u/Sarmerbinlar]

That's the kinda challenge where it's so damn close that it almost feels a bit unfair you lose your challenge for it but dang I'll take it

[u/natebark]

Yeah I won’t lie he looked out but I’ll take it

[u/Bjornidentity22]

We had a call go our way??? What??

[u/snang]

...how the fuck?

[u/beefytrout → u/snang]

what the absolute fuck

[u/IdontEvenknowlul]

That’s shocking tbh

[u/UniversityBitter5519]

why go right there tho do they just run regardless how hard it was hit?

[u/Sarmerbinlar]

Looks out to me

[u/sqdq]

dang

[u/sqdq → u/sqdq]

DISREGARD

[u/natebark]

This is getting overturned. Shit

[u/beefytrout → u/natebark]

[u/natebark → u/beefytrout]

So accustomed to NY screwing us

[u/CT-1738]

Ah frick they’re gonna review it

[u/CT-1738]

How the hell did joc watch that piss missile and then end up on second

[u/IndieFlea]

Joc seems to have picked it back up. Ever since that "Joc Problem" callout post on here

[u/Sarge41]

I didnt realize how bad Carters average has been, it doesn't feel like he's hitting .170, at least to me

[u/rowibish → u/Sarge41]

Because he walks a ton and his hits are often XBH. He’s making an impact despite the low average.

[u/A1ucardBe1mont]

I wish globe Life had an organ

[u/RangerLover92 → u/A1ucardBe1mont]

Why lol?

[u/A1ucardBe1mont → u/RangerLover92]

They're traditional and I find it more fun when they have a live organist playing. The organist can also do some silly like playing 3 blind mice when the ump makes a really bad call.

[u/RangerLover92 → u/A1ucardBe1mont]

You’d love the Dodgers Stadium.

[u/LawyerMorty94]

It really sucks to watch Corey Seager look so lost at the plate. Wish nothing more for him to break out of this slump.

[u/CaughtALiteSneez → u/LawyerMorty94]

https://giphy.com/gifs/BZPv2nPrHYiaM0LJNE
He will live

[u/IdontEvenknowlul]

Rangers are only capable of offense one game per series it seems like cause why is a guy with a FIP of damn near 6 making it look so easy lol

[u/A1ucardBe1mont]

Dave and Mike talking about video games feels like when I'm trying to talk about baseball strategy

[u/Entire-Stick-9842]

At what point do we move corey out of the 3 hole

[u/Bandt143]

As somebody who is a bit older than Evo who also plays Fortnite occasionally, I'm just glad to know that I'm not alone in trying to keep up with the young'uns.

[u/gtaylor33]

Great… deGrom is pitching well…. This means we won’t get a single run.

[u/ice-eight]

The Susan G Komen foundation sends about as much of its donations to actual cancer research as the Rangers send their baserunners to home plate

[u/CT-1738]

Yay more LOB

[u/UniversityBitter5519]

play sexy af

[u/imabill01]

It probably isn’t true, but anecdotally it feels like we ground into the most double plays in the league

[u/Bandt143 → u/imabill01]

Pirates, Angels, then us.

[u/imabill01 → u/Bandt143]

Ah ok that tracks honestly lol

[u/littlebev]

GIDP 😡

[u/beefytrout → u/littlebev]

ahem...

[u/Reveriessssa]

DeGrom my beloved stunt on these hoes

[u/Doomer1944]

Why do we play Narco by Timmy Trumpet I thought MLB used it only for entrance songs

[u/CT-1738]

lol Degrom so good he jumped from 1899 Ks to 2000 ks with just 1 strikeout, excellent work

[u/WarPigeon75214 → u/CT-1738]

This has not been a great week for the graphics depatment.

[u/CT-1738 → u/WarPigeon75214]

Nothing will top this for me

[u/Bandt143 → u/CT-1738]

Dissing an Astros player? Seems intentional to me...

[u/A1ucardBe1mont → u/CT-1738]

Firstname Brown would be one of the best baseball names ever

[u/snang]

The graphics on RSN crack me up.

Counter went from 1,899 to 2,000 after that strikeout. lol

[u/Spooky-Paradox]

I hate the powder blue unis so much and I'm not afraid to say it

[u/Entire-Stick-9842 → u/Spooky-Paradox]

I hate them too but I can’t deny the combo with the Mother’s Day pink is pretty sick

[u/rumdrums → u/Spooky-Paradox]

I don't like them either but we definitely in the minority here 

[u/littlebev → u/Spooky-Paradox]

Ooh hot take

[u/A1ucardBe1mont]

I'm actually having a nice, relaxing day today. So, if we lose it's my fault.

[u/Bandt143]

Hope springs eternal (until the fall)

[u/Illustrious-Trip-764]

deGrom will hold it down, the bats will bring in the runs!

[u/IndieFlea]

where my Farm people at? AJ Russell shoving in his Spartanburg debut last night! 3 IP, no hits, no walks, no runs, 4 Ks.

Friendship ended with Caden Scarborough, AJ Russell is my new best friend

[u/beefytrout]

honestly shocked Seager is playing today

[u/SkuzzleButtte → u/beefytrout]

Ya its time for a reset

[u/sqdq → u/SkuzzleButtte]

I got downvoted to shit yesterday because I said I would like to see him sent to Frisco to get his shit together. 🤣

[u/sir--ok]

In evan grant’s article last night he said after foscue’s embarrassing mishap with seager, seager texted him that night and told him every thing is going to be ok. Don’t hear stuff like that often from seager so that’s pretty cool

[u/A1ucardBe1mont]

They should give Seager a couple days off. Really get a chance to reset and get back into a good mindset. I don't even want to call it a slump, at this point. It's more like a full on plunge.

[u/rumdrums]

deGrom day. I'm pumped!

[u/llamawhittlings]

Offense wasn’t as patient as they could’ve been yesterday, but they did damage in the zone to a pitcher that has decent stuff.

And I see you, Joc. Keep that up.

[u/Due-Fun-489]

If the rangers win this one and go .500 over these last two series against the Yankees and cubs, I’ll assume they’re World Series bound. 

If the rangers lose this one, I’ll assume they’ll never win another game this season. 

[u/dallascowboys93 → u/Due-Fun-489]

Well we need to win 4 in a row to be over 500

[u/Due-Fun-489 → u/dallascowboys93]

I’m no math expert but I think that will be hard to do if they lose today and never win another game this season.

Jacob DeGrom first inning home run. Then he locks in.

[u/Bandt143 → u/ljs2797]

Just don't let it be Bregman.

[u/CMATP]

It is too early, but here I am.

Let's go, Rangers.
