Team Houston or Team Rangers?
The Two Time Champs! 🤘🏻🏆
Houston!
Houston all day
Houston no doubt about it
H-Town babyyyyy!
As an Astros fan, I love this for both teams. It's great for the rivalry, or the lack thereof. Just because it's been years since the Rangers last had a competitive team. It's great for Texas, it's great for the sport, and it gives the casual fan something to tune into.
Yeah, and last time the rangers were good the Astros were awful (and were they still NL too?)
As a rangers fan, I just hope the Astros can keep it as an honest competition...
It makes it so much fun to watch as a rangers fan I have huge respect for the Astros glad to see texas baseball getting good.
Astros fan but pumped to see the Rangers owning their playoff series. They earned it.
Proud of our Texas CS!
Play your best game, Rangers.
Astros will be locked and loaded.
See you at Minute Maid.
"Nah, it's just like when you were in Oakland." Ngl that's kinda cold lol
nah that was hard ngl
Y’all riding dick kinda hard
Lol he was actually kinda good in Oakland.
@@larvitar4813you may be the first Astros fan that isn’t extremely prideful and arrogant and you deserve respect 🫡
@@_illtal”kinda” good? Lol he developed and grew into an MVP candidate in Oakland. One of the best players in the league
I just want to give credit where credit is due: Thank you for making such awesome baseball commentary. Its criminal that more people haven't subscribed! You have a great voice for this, your pronounciation and inflection are immaculate. I get my baseball fix with you every day, so much so I stopped watching network and sports tv commentaries. Thank you, keep up the great work and everyone who hasn't given him your support, do it!!
This is gonna be a great rivalry in the upcoming years and I’m here for it as an Astros fan. This might turn into something similar to the Yankees-Red Sox rivalry
Edit: I meant by how intense the rivalry might become. Nothing will be as great as the Yankees-Red-Sox rivalry.
I hope so
Except both of our teams are good this year and the Yankees ain't looking so well. I Don't know about the red Sox cause I don't follow too closely anywhere else.
Still love the game
@@SilentHalt well that doesn't nescassairily matter for a rivalry here, Teams will go in and out of greatness what matters here is the energy when 2 teams in rivalry face each other
@omalleycaboose5937 Well, like i said, I don't follow either of them too closely. I don't know how they are when they play or anything of the sort.
I only know what I know due to a friend who is a fan of the Yankees.
I'm open to be told how they are when they face as rivals. But all I was saying is that the Yankees aren't good this year so I'm not sure how well they play with the red Sox.
@@SilentHalt I think the main thing for Yankees Red Sox is that its been a thing since Babe Ruth was traded so a pretty long running thing
I found it funny that the Rangers broadcast showed Chapman and Altuve laughing it up together like nothing happened in the past
I noticed that too.
While the circumstance is 100% suspect and im going to talk out of my own ass, I can actually see the Framber pitch as being an accident just as much as i can see it being intentional. You guys watched the game right? Framber was all over the place with his pitches and Maldonado had a hard time keeping up as pitches ended up nowhere close to where they were intended. Its hard to believe considering Framber for the first half was considered a strong contender for the Cy Young, but ever since the allstar break he has been pitching extrenely poor, well just about all of our pitchers actually. If Yordan wasnt plucked earlier in the game it would have been a non issue.
Correct. When he struggles, it’s almost always with his release. You could tell based on his reaction he had no intention of putting that pitch anywhere near that spot. But commentators have to have something to talk about.
Also, if Framber wanted to send that message, I feel like he would've hit the first batter the very next half inning. Not two innings later.
If a pitcher is struggling with control, he should tip his cap after hitting a batter. It signals you're aware of your control issues and aren't trying to hurt anyone..
The sad part is, it would’ve been viewed as an Accident, had Yordy not been hit but since he was, the rangers took exception to it. I also think Framber played it off and (bear with me I’m reaching here) he may not have realized or just straight up forgot that Yordy was hit hence him trying to play it off. And yes Framber has struggled with his release in the past but I’m in the minority, I think he’s on the uprise since the all star break but that could just be me. He’s still 6th in pitcher power rankings, a strong Cy Young contender and his ERA is still sub 3and pushing sub 2. It’s one bad outting but as other Astros fans have joked, he probably won’t give up a run in his next outting 😂
Agreed. Everything you said is on the money. Plus his reaction too. He turned away and even looked worried, then continued the same form and mistakes the rest of the game. Not sure how people don’t see this
Feels great looking back on this, winning the world series
Whenever I saw it live I said to myself “I bet ITalk will make a video on this”
Hey ITalk this was an amazing breakdown. Thanks a lot for the video!
"nah its just like when you were in Oakland" Bro the Athletics are catching strays 😭😭😭😭
You said Framber shouldn’t have acted like it was a mistake but how was he supposed to act if he didn’t hit Semien on purpose? As for that, his control was already shot so hard to tell.
His control was shot it was obvious. Man I hope it's not serious!
If it was a mistake, Framber could have tipped his cap to make that clear. Normally he shouldn't have to but given the context, woulda made sense.
@@kermitfrog593 he probably did you could see semien do a "head shake" kinda like saying "dont worry about it" but in a sarcastic way as semien was sure it was on purpose
his control was shot badly. I mean it was a full on massacre
Bruh😂. You have a sinker throwing pitcher beam our best player on a first pitch four seam fastball just an inning after Yordan was accidentally hit on an 0-2 count. It wasn’t like the pitch just glazed Marcus either he was hit pretty square.
It was 1000% on purpose.
2023 has been an exciting year for baseball
Blue Jays-Yankee rivalry, now a Texas one. It's indeed been an interesting year.
Unless you’re a Padres fan 😂
@@Barrett619 Or Mets. Or Cardinals. Or Yankees. Or A's. Lotta disappointment to go around, not just you guys.
AL WEST KINGS AGAIN! 😂
As a Rangers fan I may not like the Astros but I respect them hopefully this rivalry will good for a while
Love it just great another rivalry for baseball⚾️
the league needs this as a Rangers fan
Nah i dont see Valdez as a confrontational dude. Valdez didnt even acknowledge Semien chirping at him. Yes it was definitely a bad look for a first pitch of the at bat, but Valdez just didnt have good control or location of his pitches the whole game. Thats why he was taken out early. Who knows tho
That’s what I was saying, hitting a batter while down by 1 game and playing for first place in the division wouldn’t make since especially before the 6th inning the ranger just needed something to cry about
@@gavinhinojosa6349yeahh and seimien was trying to look at Valdez Giving up a homer but Valdez has his back turn against him so that was pathetic of seimen
I mean they took him out right after he threw at Lowe's head, shaky control or not, those were wild misses in an area I don't think he works very often. Just seems very convenient that he throws at Lowe's head on his last pitch against a lefty knowing a righty was coming to the plate and they had a righty in the pen warmed up.
I don't think Valdez wanted to hit Semien, I think he was told to do it and didn't want to catch the heat he knew would come with it, like you said he's not a confrontational guy. Insane they tossed Semien and Maldonado just for chirping in any case.
@@tri-c5737 yeah maybe so. I mean they almost hit yordan again but I've really got no problems the Rangers. Things were just heated because it was a super important game for both teams.
As a rangers fan I obviously have respect for Houston for their post season success (even if they cheated). And we gotta beat em in the playoffs for anything to matter, But I do love how this team played when they were pissed.
If you don't think the Rangers have ever cheated, then you don't know baseball. They all cheat, the Astros just got caught, that's all.
@@blown8642the “everybody cheats” excuse is played out. The Astros cheated. Not everybody. The Astros. Fuck em
@@blown8642- So is your argument is that the Astros are better at cheating because they beat all the other cheaters or are you saying that bad at cheating because they’re the only ones that got caught?
@@sloebone7399Can you explain why the accusations for the red socks went unnoticed during their win at the world series against LA?
@@sloebone7399 I don't think that's what he meant. I think he was just saying the cheating comment was unnecessary because all baseball teams cheat to varying degrees.
“Make it happen baseball gods.”
And it was so.
It would be fun to have a playoff series. But as a Ranger fan, I would die of stress and same could be said about Astros fans as well. There would be fights in the stands and probably some benches clearing for a few times in the series
Like the Yankees and the Red Sox?
Look at Valdez's face as soon as he hits Semien, that's not intentional. He's grimacing.
Oscar worthy performance huh
@@richiecrawford6716 Yes the Rangers are good at being mad on command for the cameras
@@potluck5896 well don’t act like it’s not intentional then, do what you mean and mean what you do.
More like he's a coward who couldn't own up to what he was told to do. If you're gonna intentionally hit a batter don't shy away. Marcus got into Valdez's kitchen and he unraveled.
@@LinkRocks How are you a coward if you do what you're "told" to do?
Im new to baseball and a Rangers fan. This game was fun cause I like both teams, tho obviously Rangers much more, if Astros were still NL Id probably root for both but yeah, I enjoy feeling a rivalry with them for the normal rivalry stuff like this and not that 2017 stuff
Broooooo, you got your call answered! The baseball gods said yes lol!
"its just like when you were in oakland" im fuckin crying bro 😭
We got so many bats that we even sat dubon whos been phenomenal. We need pitchers.
.288 OBP is phenomenal?

@@1_1861 Uh no. He has a .288 OBP and .662 OPS
@@1_1861You’re clearly looking at OPS. Even the elites of baseball don’t finish with a .700 OBP, dude.
@@ryanf219 oh yeah my bad🫤
I may be a rangers fan, but I do defend houston sometimes. Valdez's pitch was not intentional and while Semien was frustrated, and has the right to be, hit by pitches happen. I would be okay with this if the Astros fans didnt cheer Jonah Heim for being injured. You NEVER cheer when someone is injured, even if its for your division rival. The Astros organization is well built and has some bright young stars, but some of those Astros fans has no respect.
LOL you're a loser for defending the Astros. No Rangers fan would ever do that.
Then you will admit rangers played bush league bs??
And why?? Just play the game bruh
@guywebster8018 the Andrew Heaney HBP wasn't intentional neither. It was an 0-2 count. Not to mention that most of the beef came from Semien and Maldonado. Whatever side you look at it, both sides were involved in this beef. Rangers fans may not be perfect, but we wouldn't cheer and Astros player being injured.
Ranger fans cheered Yordan getting hit
Exciting!!
Ive been waiting for this video iTalk...
the rangers feel like they won the world series .
They do?
I don't, I feel like we won an important game in keeping our division lead in an amazing game against a main rival.
Thats how all you people cope with an ass whipping. Just take it on the chin and move on. I think Semien broke the entire city 😂
They Have The Potential If The Pitching Talent Gets BETTER!!!, I Think The ASTROS KNOW IT!!!.

Appreciate you covering this. I'm a Rangers fan, and this rivalry is about to explode very soon. Needs more eyes on it.
The lone star series' have been super good this year, loving them
Lol no it has not. We OWN them!
Love some baseball drama
I’ve got a fairly long rant/ unpopular take here…
These unwritten rules are ridiculous - & players today are such weirdo crybabies.
Imagine: 1960, Mickey Mantle gets hit by a pitch from Sandy Koufax… the next time up, Mantle crushes a home run… & Mantle flips his bat, & stares down Koufax as he rounds the bases. Puts his finger to his lips to shush him/fans. The next inning, Whitey Ford throws AT Duke Snider …
Lol. 1 of these things would have actually maybe happened… Mantles home run.
Yes… I know players fought all through history… but this weird super super subtle disrespectful gestures I feel wasn’t a thing. Just trying to picture Mantle/Mays/Aaron/Gehrig/Williams… any big name staring down the picture as he rounds bases or shushing the crowd… lol. It probably did happen but I can’t imagine it was common.
It’s gotten stupid. If they wanna go at it… just rush the freaking mound. This staring each other down & crying because a guy looked at him lol… ridiculous!
Again… I’m sure various forms of these things happened more than I would think… but I can’t imagine this insanely subtle stuff was going on like it is now…
These egos are massive. Maybe if they were paid more like it was a game, & not something actually important - like it was meant to be… and WAS… some of these ridiculous egos wouldn’t be getting hurt. When you gotta catch the bus to get to work after the game.. a guy looking at you won’t mean quite as much 😂
You can disagree with me on everything that’s fine.. but if you think players should make anywhere CLOSE to a million bucks? You’re insane. It’s still a game. These 400 million dollar contracts are going to lead to 1 of 2 things… ruin of the game… or best case, a salary cap.
It’s funny because it’s not really a rivalry ever since 2020 the Astros have consistently beaten the rangers and it’s the same case this season
Thank you, people willfully ignore this.

You completely left out that this was Yordan's first AB since June 8th and he got a two seam headed for his neck.
If you think they were throwing at him you're either biased towards the Astros or have no idea how pitching works.
hgjdcd, you obviously have never pitched at any level
He had 2 strikes on him already, wasn’t intentional my guy
Exactly
Precisely why you'd think he's an easier out than usual and don't want to give him a free base. I don't think Rangers were trying to hit him.
You asked for a playoff match up and the baseball gods answered 🎉
This is going to be an awesome ALCS
As an Astros fan, Maldy was out of line. He shouldn't even be a regular in the lineup at this point. He needs to stop worrying about other players and figure out how to hit above .200. If he's going to hit like a little leaguer AND cause problems on the field then he needs to go. The Astros can't afford for him to be an even bigger hinderance than he already is.
I hate Maldy but if he’s gonna be on this team he needs to be a leader and that’s what he was
What about his catching? Willing to mess with the runs your pitchers give up? My understanding is that he’s on the team for his defense, especially in big games.
Rangers fans 🤝 Astros Fans not liking maldy
He’s never been an offensive batter and we don’t expect him to be we got him for his defense
@@jorgejohnson451also his ability to calm down pitchers
As an Astros fan I don’t think either pitchers intentionally hit the batters that they hit and if that is truly what a Martín Maldonado said, I think the Astros are in the wrong as an Astros fan now do I think Marcus Semien jumping, 3 feet off the plate and then landing on. It’s a bit childish yeah but I would say if what Marcus Semien said was true rangers in the right for this one.
No you're a Rangers fan
Marcus jumps on the plate all the time.
I can see that, its suspect but whatever. I do feel the ejections were unjustified
And then the Strangers were blown out and swept in Arlington by the Astros!! Play stupid games,get stupid prices!!
Good drama last night. Neither team is going anywhere. But my calendar says it is still July with about 60 games to go. Let's circle back in mid-September before either plants their flag in the division.
Neither team is going anywhere??😂 sure bud
@@perc3136 So you think one is just gonna fall out of the race completely? I think it will be a dogfight.
@@jayroberts2017 i agree I misunderstood

The Yankees have to win a series vs the Astros, before they can start to call it a rivalry. Its just a yearly execution.

AL WEST CHAMPIONS AGAIN! 😂
I was disappointed in semien. He’s been pretty professional and I didn’t like seeing him try to rub it in. Just win and keep being professional
if it helps put 13 on the board, then maybe this is what the Rangers needed to play together as a team when it really matters or when a pitcher and catcher start trying to hurt your fellow teammates. Heaney hit one guy and god forbid i'm sure it was a mistake, but that piece of shit Valdez intentionally hit Semien and was REALLY trying to hit Lowe. That's astros being petty and sore losers and it sometimes calls for a team to retaliate.
I agree but nobody's perfect. Probably a little salty given Rangers lost first two games.
@@GoshDarnBarnOwlsI mean if I was going to intentionally hit someone in retaliation, I'm not sure I'd do it 2 innings after the relevant beef. Seems like Semien was just looking for something as further evidenced by him staring down Valdez while rounding the bases while Valdez ignored it as the non confrontational guy he is, so I find that pathetic and childish of Seimen to try and instigate something with a pitcher.
We’ll obviously you’re a fan of the cheaters
I didn't think Framber's was intentional seeing as it was two innings later. If I wanted to send that message I would've hit the first batter of the very next inning. So naturally, I thought Semien overracted, especially when it became clear that Framber was having issues. I don't think either HBP was intentional. Neither would've made sense as intentional in the given situation. I also don't think Maldonado should've really gotten involved as it definitely was coming off as sour grapes at that point. Of course, all of this is coming from someone who was a fan of both Texas teams (and still kind of is) before they were division rivals.
I definitely agree that I would love a playoff matchup between the two!
Everything was cool until Semien acted like a little punk rounding the bases talking shit. That's when Maldy stepped in and did so righteously. Nobody was showing anybody up until Semien decided to drop his pants. Yordan got plunked and took his base like a man. Low class rangers, low class city, wannabe champions who have no idea how to act like professionals. Bush league.
The “it’s just like when you were in Oakland” comment was so invalid by Martin 😭😭
Simien is a big baby and also an instigator,Grow up Marcus!…Dusty screwed up by not pulling Framber when the score was 6 -3,he knew there was tension already and didn’t pull him out nothing new ,we lose games for no reason sometimes.
The scrub catcher instigated a lot of it, what are you talking about? Lol

"Baby" is a bit much, but he made his point in his first at bat and didn't need to rub it in later on.

Honestly, in terms of competing against each other, the Rangers and Astros really haven't had all that much beef historically. The Astros were in the NL for most of both teams history. And when the Rangers were good in the early 2010s the Astros weren't all that good. And when the Rangers fell off, that's when Houston really started putting it together.
Everyone was predicting the rangers would be good, why are people saying no one thought they be good?
It only took our pitching to lose half our starters, lose the 2 guys who made up a majority of our OPS last year, and the Rangers to spend hundreds of millions, to finally get… 2 games ahead lol

Framber was 100% struggling to locate that game so none of those pitches were intentional. If Semien thinks they were hes reaching for any rivalry. The rangers have a good first half and clearly have no idea how to handle themselves

Two teams headed in opposite directions. The Astros are at the beginning stages of their downslide, as the Rangers are at the beginning stages of their emergence. Will be fun to watch for the next several years.
Lol...we will see.
not really a downfall
Commenting to come back to this when it ages like milk.
The Astros are defending World Series Champions. The Rangers would give their collective left nut to swap places.
The Astros are 2 games back with mostly Sugar Land Space Cowboy callups for pitching all year. McCullers, Garcia, Urquidy, Valdez, Brown & France are all young and cheap. Alvarez & Javier are young and locked up for 5+ years. Tucker is under control through 2026, is young and most likely will be extended. Bregman and Altuve will be extended. Stros have lost Correa, Springer, Verlander, Cole & Morton and are going for their 7th straight ALCS appearance, 5th WS appearance in 7 years, and 3rd WS championship. If that's downslide, give me more downslide please...
I'd like to congratulate the Rangers on losing two of three. Nice job.

Semien wants to start talking the one game of the series they end up winning😂 he’s mad because he knows the Astros will go further in October whether he likes it or not
Y'all need to worry about making the playoffs first.
@@LinkRockswho’s y’all?
Lol Semien has been getting his ass beat by the Astros since his Oakland A's days.
@@LinkRocks the Astros are about to win the division so we’re fine
AL WEST CHAMPS AGAIN! 😂
Anybody with money can buy a team and pay the luxury tax (BTW It's "Dallas" not "Texas", The rangers do not represent the whole state, only north Texas, which is southern oklahoma in culture and food quality). The Astros have for the most part developed their team through an exceptional farm system and only supplement their talent through trades.
You forgot to mention cheating.
Houston does not represent the state of Texas either
well they are called the Texas Rangers not the Dallas Ranger... um they wear a Big T and oh thats right your the team that invaded our Terf in the Division and league so
@@omalleycaboose5937 invaded and took over texas hahaha
I guess the name of the team being TEXAS RANGERS means nothing to you?
Or the big letters on their jerseys saying TEXAS
Everything that happened before Marcus Semen's two foot hop onto the plate was just baseball. The hop, however, was low class.
as good as the Rangers have been it's crazy to think this division is this close with the Astros missing Altuve for most of the year and Yordan being out a month. Lets not forget about Urquidy/Lance/Garcia all being out and having to rely on AAA pitchers.
The rangers have been hurt too
Every team battles injuries not just the Astros
@@willc5208 deGrom has been the only guy out for most of the year. I’m not talking about recently.
@@fabianhernandez-cp7cb seager has missed 60 games
@@willc5208 I forgot about him. But he stays hurt. So two guys to our 5 starters. Bravo
Rangers be acting like they won something, 😂😂😂😂
Yes the game and the Division we held it
@@omalleycaboose5937 talk to me when they win a ring
@@avengersfan599 see you in a few months
@@avengersfan599 your team literally cheated to win a World Series… stop using that.
@@ryanf219 All the guys who admitted to cheating are off the team losing in their divisions also, we won without cheating last year and without those sucky players who decided to cheat. Stop using that excuse. I’m sure whatever you route for has cheated numerous times in the past as well.
Rangers live rent free in all of Astros’ fans. It’s like they forgot that they were the laughing stock of baseball for almost a decade.
Awfully good coming from Mr 0 Rings
Since then 2 WS wins,Strangers…0
Laughing stock??? Your team hired a crack head as there manger and there best player couldn’t stop smoking crack long enough to play. No sir, the laughing stock is the Texas sissies
We have 2 rings, how many you got?
Astros are 2 time champs. Rangers haven’t been relevant since they choked their two try’s at a ring over a decade ago. Sit down.
And here we go the lonestar showdown
I'm here from the future and here to say just wait.
Got your wish in the biggest way possible!!
And what do you know???
The baseball Gods heard you and my Texas Rangers vs Astros it is.
Trashtown can't believe the Rangers have turned it around in a year. This team has the feelings of pre 2017 days before they had fans and when the Rangers owned Northern Mexico.
I'm telling you right now it wasn't intentional from Valdez. If you had actually paid attention to his starts since coming back from his injury, he has shown a consistent struggle with command and it appeared multiple times during that game. Semien can act like it was intentional if it gets him more motivated. But the truth is Framber Valdez is struggling and should probably take a rest on the IL and come back through another rehab assignment. I think he pushed himself to come back to early from his last injury. Since the injury he's had five stars. Only one of those stars has been a quality start, coming from a guy who said the record last year for the most quality starts consecutively. It is a clear sign that something is wrong with him when he has zero command and can't get through five innings.
This didnt age very well lol
I hope so, but one good start in his last 7 does not prove anything and I am still concerned he will be injured before the end of the season, and I hope I am more than wrong in that statement, because if we do make the playoffs he will be integral in us succeeding in becoming back to back champs. Even though Verlander is back Valdez is still the pitcher that will have to put the playoffs on his back; we know what Verlander's playoff history has been he may help get us there but he struggles once he is there. And Lord knows I hope that comment ages poorly as well. But with McCullers injured before the season, Luis Garcia injured at the start as well as Urquidy, and Valdez having a brief injury as well you have to wonder how good the training staff for our pitchers is and be concerned about the starting pitchers being available for the end of the season. Also do you think he threw at Semien on purpose or are you talking as someone who did not watch the game?
@@MACandanedo1 oh i watched the game, im a rangers fan. I cant say rather or not it was intentional. I mean theres evidence on both sides of that. But what i can say is maldi and semien handled that situation poorly. I was disappointed in both of them. Semien got his homer after the fact so no need to rub it in more after a grand slam. Just play the game and play it right. But go rangers! Hope to face off with yall in the playoffs.
@@rillo806 well right now as it stands the Astros pitching is on its last leg and Framber had another night, tonight, of poor control so I am hoping we see anybody but y'all. Although it would be a crazy playoff series, of the Astros are able to get back to 2022 from to put up a good fight.
@@MACandanedo1 my mom was a die hard astros/braves fan. If the astros n rangers face off to go to the ship ill be at her grave with the game on the radio cause i know she'd want to hear it. And ill be talkin smack to her just like we did for years knowing shes talkin smack right back. Its tradition. I truely hope it comes down to the ranger n astros.
If warnings were issued then Framber should have been tossed after throwing at Lowe's head. Kinda surprised that MLB hasn't made leaving the bench/bullpen an ejection. They toss players for talking to the umps but if they want to fight it's ok?
i feel like this was a rivalry waiting to happen because both teams took turns sucking
I guess “little bro” got one over on ya 🤕
oakland misses you semien
