Rangers get the puck, can't get it out, kept in by Karlsen. Lindgren clears it, Caps shoot it back in, goes behind the net, comes out with about a second left, but Caps fan on a shot right in front as time expires.
Rangers hang on by their fingernails, and win game 2, 4-3, to take a 2-0 lead.

If you think baseball PBP in the thread is chaotic, try doing hockey PBP when a team faces a 6-on-5 trying to protect a 1-gaol lead late.

My Devil's need some tough players. The small speed finesse way is not working.

His command is now decent where last year it was totally missing, but the FB has lost 2-3 mph. Not sure he can survive for long like that unless he can make good use of both his slider and his change. Decent point, but still a good separation between the fastball and the change… Yep. Didn't get a chance to respond during the game, trying to do too much. The separation is still 10-12 mph and that's enough, but he still needs that 3rd solid pitch, because neither the FB and the change is a wipeout pitch. |

All because you showed up. They needed you to hang on…  |

angels beat the O's giving us sole possession of 1st place. trout led off w a HR. rest of the damage was done by the bottom 4 in the order as they went 8-14 w 5 rbi. hopefully we can add to that lead against the soft underbelly of the A's rotation the next 2 games before we embark on tough road trip against the brewers and O's where maybe we find out how good this team is.

Missed last night's game but it appears all I needed to see was the first inning. Offense still not clicking but at least they avoided losing two straight to the A's.

Your post made me think of some new Ideas for baseball. Like hockey, we should have penalties where a player of the managers choice has to sit out for a batter or a Inning! The two exceptions would be the pitcher and the catcher for obvious reasons! That would create the excitement that would rival football and basketball! Now I have to think about what the penalties should be?  |

Now I have to think about what the penalties should be? I like it Jeep. A player could sit in a penalty box next to the dugout, and then go sprinting back out to take his position when his time was served. There could be penalties for not running out a ground ball or throwing behind a batter (like a goalie, someone other than the pitcher would have to serve the penalty) or showboating too much after a home run. "Guerrero, two minutes for showboating." A team could pull its DH and have a sort of power play by putting an extra player on defense. Quick, let's get in touch with Rob Manfred and get this in front of the rules committee. A mashup of baseball and hockey. |

I'm a Sabres fan, so it's been a long, slow death march for me the last 13 years.  Brought Lindy back to coach, so what's old is new again. |

Fights. Harsh language. Dugout harassment! Sliding into a player. Hitting a batter! |

Quickly ahead on two sinkers in the zone above the waist. Slider well outside, 1-2 Schuemann has never faced Holmes. Slider misses 2-3 inches outside near the bottom, but Tumpane gives the A's a last "F-U-for-arguing-my-zone-all-night". Holmes gets another >| he didn't earn, but I take the $$$ and run away as fast as I can. Yanks win, 4-3 to even the series and get back to 8 over at 16-8. Holmes may not have earned the >| but I liked the way he pitched. Aggressive early in the count getting ahead and then seeing if hitters would chase. First punchout was borderline but not egregious. I was watching A's telecast as Yanks was blacked out in Bay Area and it looked like it may have clipped the very top of K Zone. The second was a bad call no doubt but being ahead in the count don't mind seeing if he can get a hitter to chase especially considering the amount of 2 strike basehits we have given up lately with cookies. Umps are seemingly so bad this year it's not a bad idea to expand the zone with 2 strikes to either get the hitter to chase or benefit from a bad call which has become common place. Didn't see any discussion on Wells although I might have missed it. I've never seen a catcher set up so far off the plate before. A's announcers commented on it and Dallas Braden seemed to like it. Several times Stroman hit the glove and it was an easy take and ball call. I'm having a difficult time trying to understand what benefit this might have other than for a pitch that moves that much back to the corner. But he seemed to setup the same way for pitches that had little or no movement. What do you think? |
