ALCS Game 4

[Avaj]

Go Rangers!! Here we go....

[trickblue]

He's already laid a couple of pitches right out there for yard...

Hopefully Texas will capitalize on them...

[utrunner07]

Andrus just missed, got to stay patient and work the count.

[utrunner07]

Wake up infield and cut out the lob throws.

[Avaj]

Poor Tommy...Lol. Has to come after Lee. Tall orders to fill.

[utrunner07]

looks like its going to be a big strike zone

[utrunner07]

ugh mentioning the cowboys, thanks tbs

[trickblue]

looks like its going to be a big strike zone

That would be to our advantage...

[utrunner07]

Good job hunter!

[Avaj]

Wow that was quick!!

[StylisticS]

Very quick inning for both AJ and Hunter. Be patient, Texas.

[MegaMagick]

I think the winner of this game will go on to win the series. So obviously i hope the rangers can win here.

[utrunner07]

still dont think vlad should be playing, dh francour or something.

[StylisticS]

It's a human game? What sport isn't?

[StylisticS]

This is a great start by AJ. Hopefully Hunter counters in the bottom half.

[trickblue]

It's a human game? What sport isn't?

C0ck Fighting...

[utrunner07]

TBS doing what they do, talking about one thing alllllll game long, they hyped up this Burnett stuff WAY too much, along with the rest of the media.

[Avaj]

This is a great start by AJ. Hopefully Hunter counters in the bottom half.

Yep he has the crowd into it too.

[trickblue]

TBS doing what they do, talking about one thing alllllll game long, they hyped up this Burnett stuff WAY too much, along with the rest of the media.

I agree... it's like they are putting him into Cooperstown tonight...

[utrunner07]

ahhahahahahaha a rod getting all pissy

[utrunner07]

not good signs those past two pitches, got to keep it under control

[utrunner07]

Fan interference on that he touched his glove over the field.

[utrunner07]

That will be reviewed, take it off the board.

[trickblue]

Fan interference on that he touched his glove over the field.

Yep...

[StylisticS]

Wow, just like the 1996 ALCS. But he was interfered.

[utrunner07]

Wth Mlb?!?!?!?!

[utrunner07]

would not mind seeing some batters thrown at latter tonight for that play.

[trickblue]

This is bull****... CLEARLY interference...

Washington should have argued that more...

[utrunner07]

Nice call ump, moron.

[trickblue]

That fat guy purposely knocked his glove down...

[Avaj]

SHM What the hell needed to happen to get a reversal? Unreal.

[utrunner07]

Screw you ump, get the hell out of there you are blind as a bat.

[StylisticS]

That's a foul ball.

[utrunner07]

blind ump, needs to be replaced immeadiatly two blown calls in a row = 2 runs, we get one back they better find a way to get the other back.

[Avaj]

This is bull****... CLEARLY interference...

Washington should have argued that more...

I was shocked he didn't.

[trickblue]

Clearly foul...

What the Hell is that Right Field ump doing?

[utrunner07]

unreal, first play should have been replay. you see the reaction of the fan to cruz? what a *****bag.

[MegaMagick]

Looks like it was taken off the board? Can't watch the game.

[trickblue]

unreal, first play should have been replay. you see the reaction of the fan to cruz? what a *****bag.

Yep... flipping the bird...

******* guido thinks he's cool...

[utrunner07]

get your stuff together hunter.

unbelievable they did not review that first call, unbelievable, should be fired for that, not for getting it wrong, but for not putting the effort in to get it right when you coudl.

[StylisticS]

Here's the bigger problem. Hunter is getting hit pretty hard right now and that's cause for concern. The Rangers must have patience with AJ tonight.

[Avaj]

This game is going to be ugly... I see it now.

[utrunner07]

been calling that a strike so far ump.

[trickblue]

get your stuff together hunter.

unbelievable they did not review that first call, unbelievable, should be fired for that, not for getting it wrong, but for not putting the effort in to get it right when you coudl.

It was awful... and his arrogance at not calling for a review...

[utrunner07]

what a tool of a fan, needs to be banned for that, same as running out on field except worse bc it effects the game.

[DIAF]

on a lighter note, I can't wait for .gifs of that yankees fan.

[utrunner07]

Man I hope we hang ten on them right here, Hope cruz lines win out of right field and knocks that tool out.

[trickblue]

Is it just me or does Mike Maddux look like Frank Zappa?

[Avaj]

He is a stupid fan should of cost his team.

[utrunner07]

on a lighter note, I can't wait for .gifs of that yankees fan.

Yeah right, you know he is going to be a hero to them for 1) cheating and 2) being an aclown

[utrunner07]

nearly missed that throw

[StylisticS]

RISP alert!!!!

[utrunner07]

man hope we get a big lead tonight and really start beaning these tools

[utrunner07]

good job moreland, very good.

[StylisticS]

Alright we have runners on 2nd and 3rd. We must get a run here.

[utrunner07]

lets go andrus make it count

[StylisticS]

Come on Andrus.

[utrunner07]

good grief andrus do you want it on a t?

[StylisticS]

That's alright. We got the run. Good.

[utrunner07]

allright andrus not bad, got the run in and over, nearly went through

[StylisticS]

Yessss. The lead.

[utrunner07]

ahhahahahahahahahahaha rodriguez hands all sticky

[utrunner07]

lets go josh, bring him home.

[utrunner07]

ugh, vlad leading off next, never a good inning it seems when that happens.

[utrunner07]

cant decide if this looks like a good movie or not.

[StylisticS]

I'll wait for the DVD.

[trickblue]

ugh, vlad leading off next, never a good inning it seems when that happens.

How did he even make the roster?

Maybe Washington is thinking this can't last forever and he'll start making contact when he swings at every pitch...

[StylisticS]

Hunter oh man you have been lucky twice so far.

[StylisticS]

Hunter won't stay in the game long if he continues like this.

[utrunner07]

man up hunter

[utrunner07]

2 outs you better get this done with no more runs.

[StylisticS]

Hunter is ragged and shaken and the Yankees know it.

[utrunner07]

now would be a good time to do something besides swing at the dirt vlad.

[MegaMagick]

Gonna need 5-6 to win tonight.

[utrunner07]

Hunter needs to calm down, he is doing fine until he gets uptight, somebody calm him down.

[Avaj]

Glad Hunter was able to close that out. Right now it is anyones game.

C'mon Rangers!!

[utrunner07]

Gonna need 5-6 to win tonight.

At least, im going to say 8-9 wins it.

[trickblue]

Rangers need to pay attention...

AJ has thrown a first pitch strike on almost every batter tonight...

[utrunner07]

thank goodness

[trickblue]

Finally... nice going Vlad...

[utrunner07]

Rangers need to pay attention...

AJ has thrown a first pitch strike on almost every batter tonight...

Yup and they have stood there and watched it for the most part.

[utrunner07]

kinsler is due for a big hit.

[StylisticS]

Let's go Kinsler.

[trickblue]

Ian wears the old school uni...

The NFL would freak out over the differences in unis in baseball...

[StylisticS]

Need a 1-2-3 here, Hunter.

[utrunner07]

ugh murphy just missed that. at least cano is coming up with no one on base. Hunter needs a shutdown inning here

[CATCH17]

Rangers will score in the 5th.

[StylisticS]

Oh boy.

[utrunner07]

ahahahaha well worth it as long as cano strikes or grounds out here

[utrunner07]

hunter, geez, calm down.

[utrunner07]

this needs to be his last inning, Holland needs to get in here.

[utrunner07]

actually tbs he did not hit it far enough the fans interfered.

[utrunner07]

Young you want to play or just watch?

[StylisticS]

Last inning? That needs to be the last batter.

[Avaj]

Why didn't they take Hunter out?

[StylisticS]

Please get an out here.

[StylisticS]

This really needs to he Hunter's last inning. He is making me nervous. Please do not walk Swisher.

[MegaMagick]

I would rather have Holland out there than Hunter. Either that or just 3 man it.

Still too green and his stuff really doesn't justify pitching him as a starter in the postseason this early.

[utrunner07]

give up a hit before you walk him hunter

[TheCowboy]

K!!! C'mon rangers!

[trickblue]

Whew... good pitch... scary...

[utrunner07]

geez would have taken him out here, playing russian roulette now

[StylisticS]

Oh God......:nervous:

[TheCowboy]

Come on strike him out here!

[trickblue]

I don't think he's been that bad...

[MegaMagick]

I'd rather have a groundball dp.

[TheCowboy]

3-2 count..HUGE pitch here....Come on Tommy!

[utrunner07]

allright hunter here we go again, dont walk him

[StylisticS]

Ok, go get Holland.

[trickblue]

Nice play by Cruz...

That was a serious rocket home...

[TheCowboy]

Dang it a hit! But atleast he held at third. I skipped a heartbeat there...

[MegaMagick]

Time to pull him.

[utrunner07]

double play here

[StylisticS]

double play here

I agree.

[utrunner07]

rough night for hunter, but really only gave up one run, so far...

[MegaMagick]

I know i said i'd rather have Holland out there but not when he inherits a bases loaded jam. :(

[Avaj]

I can't believe they left him out there. Now bases are loaded... Just lovely.

[MegaMagick]

If we're going to give up a run hopefully it's only 1.

[StylisticS]

Let's go Holland. Throw strikes immediately.

[StylisticS]

What a great defensive play by Andrus.

[utrunner07]

thats alright, great play andrus, good pitching holland.

[TheCowboy]

Ugh, run scores. :(

At least there's an out, still unfortunately a run.

[utrunner07]

hahaha awesome camera shatter.

[MegaMagick]

Rangers can score more than 3. Just hold them here.

[dback]

Great play by Andrus I must say

[utrunner07]

allright one more strike here holland

[dback]

Great job Holland. Got us out of a bind

[TheCowboy]

K!

Striiiike THREE


Get 'em back Rangers!

[StylisticS]

That's alright. I don't mind that at all. Now let's get to Burnett. He has 60 pitches so far through 4 and that's a pretty good total for him thus far in this game.

[utrunner07]

one run in with the bases loaded and 1 out, big win there for the rangers.

[utrunner07]

Molina, Moreland, Andrus coming up.

[Alweezy]

I'll take that... give up one run in that situation I'll gladly take that.


Biggest difference in that and the game 1 debacle was that we got the out when the run scored.


Thank goodness for that, now it's time for AJ to come down to earth too..

[utrunner07]

bengie is a smart batter.

[Avaj]

Great job Holland. Got us out of a bind

Big bind. Thanks Holland!

[utrunner07]

jump on him quick fellas

[utrunner07]

ugh...that really hurts.

[StylisticS]

The Big bats are coming now.

[TheCowboy]

Great hit Andrus! Now let's get something going!

[utrunner07]

lets go mike get a hit

[StylisticS]

What a great at-bat by Young.

[utrunner07]

bet the walk him

[utrunner07]

lets go josh get a hit.

[MegaMagick]

Hamilton's gotta bring the pain. I think a Homer would end this, but at least smack a run in to tie it.

[Avaj]

Alright Josh bring them in.

[TheCowboy]

Thank GOD he missed it

[Avaj]

Thank you Yankees fan :)

[MegaMagick]

This might be one of our last few chances to get a run off burnett


Oh well.

[TheCowboy]

Dang it.

[StylisticS]

Vlad to start off another inning.:(

[utrunner07]

ugh, good chance wasted there. keep it @ 1 holland

[Alweezy]

it's been that kind of game...

we just can't get the big hit tonight

[MegaMagick]

Yanks might add on a few more, seems like it's their night tonight.

[TheCowboy]

Ugh, this is starting to scare me.

[StylisticS]

Jeter is blasting the ball tonight.

[utrunner07]

Throw strikes

[StylisticS]

Now Holland is allergic to throwing strikes now.:bang2:

[utrunner07]

young what are you doing?

[StylisticS]

Liked the decision by Young to get Jeter out at 3rd.

Whoa. Losing Tex is big defensively. Offensively he hasn't done much.

[utrunner07]

Liked the decision by Young to get Jeter out at 3rd.

Whoa. Losing Tex is big defensively. Offensively he hasn't done much.


Been a whole lot better off going with the double play, imo, a single scores a run either way.

[StylisticS]

Get him out, Holland.

[utrunner07]

theres that double play

[StylisticS]

Been a whole lot better off going with the double play, imo, a single scores a run either way.

True. But the DP was delayed for A-Rod lol.

[utrunner07]

True. But the DP was delayed for A-Rod lol.

true that, nice to see.

Now we really really need to get something going here. Maybe vlad is ready to hit now? Vlad, Cruz, Kinsler coming up,

[MegaMagick]

If only Wash put Holland in sooner this would still be tied. However only scoring 2 against Burnett is inexcusable so let's get some more runs please.

[utrunner07]

got to hope holland has one more scoreless inning in him then give it to oday or oliver for 7 and 8. Going to need some runs, obviously.

[utrunner07]

vlad needs a lead off HR here to redeem himself for these past few games

[Alweezy]

we're doing alright... that's two jams now we have gotten out of.


We got the type of offense that can muster up one run... I really hope it doesn't come down to a small ball situation though. We really need to get to Burnett. this is so frustrating.

[utrunner07]

allright there you go vlad thats all you need to do

[MegaMagick]

Cruz and Kinsler coming up, this is where the damage will be done if at all.

[utrunner07]

dear tbs the game is 9 innings, rivera has been beat before and will be beat again.

[StylisticS]

Let's go Nelson. Get on base if you can't get a homer.

[StylisticS]

No double plays

[utrunner07]

lol @ vlads slide he just sat down

[MegaMagick]

Ian has to man up. Come on our chances our running out.

[utrunner07]

just missed that one, second time tonight, forgot about the last one.

[MegaMagick]

Murphy live up to your clutch title.

Or not, go Molina?

[utrunner07]

Dont mind this, mollina is a smart batter

[StylisticS]

Would love for a three run homer here from Molina. He's been clutch for us this season.

[utrunner07]

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[StylisticS]

Well how about that....:lmao2:

[MegaMagick]

I still can't believe we haven't hit this guy more, come on Molina let's get it going.

[utrunner07]

Would love for a three run homer here from Molina. He's been clutch for us this season.


YOU CALLED IT!@!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:bow::bow::bow::bow::bow:

[MegaMagick]

Hell Yesssss!

[Alweezy]

Hell Yeah! TBS with the super JINX


*Thankfully Swisher didn't get us when they did it to us...

[Avaj]

Lol the fans boooing

[utrunner07]

Lol the fans boooing


Pathetic yankee fans. All week they are calling for Burnett not to start then he is doing good and they cheer emphatically then he gives up a big hit and they boo, terrible :lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao:

[MegaMagick]

Jon Daniels is a wizard, only missed out on Cantu really but even he played a pat in rangers history this season.

[utrunner07]

Jon Daniels is a wizard, only missed out on Cantu really but even he played a pat in rangers history this season.

Yup and though I think most are down on him now maybe with an offseason he can get it back, who knows.

Hey, I wonder if Jon Daniels know football ;)

[StylisticS]

YOU CALLED IT!@!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:bow::bow::bow::bow::bow:

It was literally five seconds after I hit submit.

[kmp77]

Kabooom!!!! Rangers take the lead. I liked how they just showed the highlights of him hitting home runs and the does his own instant replay.

[utrunner07]

alright holand got to be tough here, make it a good 1,2,3

[utrunner07]

Kabooom!!!! Rangers take the lead. I liked how they just showed the highlights of him hitting home runs and the does his own instant replay.


lol, no kidding, I bet yankee fans watching that were so pissed.

[utrunner07]

pretty holland, let that build up your confidence.

[StylisticS]

Holland starting to settle in.

[utrunner07]

there we go holland, stay strong in the head, one more out here, one out at a time just one out.

[MegaMagick]

Yup and though I think most are down on him now maybe with an offseason he can get it back, who knows.

Hey, I wonder if Jon Daniels know football ;)

Yeah, it's never good when you're the OWNER and GM. Hand it over to smart educated guys like Daniels and you get results like this.

BTW he also missed on Guzman but :laugh1:

[utrunner07]

allright tbs sthu and show the freaking game, holy crap

[utrunner07]

geez young settle down.

[utrunner07]

alright, few more runs here would be nice, got a good part of the line up coming up, Moreland, Andrus, Young, Hamilton

I guess it will be Jaba coming out.

Edit: sorry moreland was last out last inning. So starting with andrus

[Alweezy]

win or lose, somebody that's got DVR gotta hook me up with a video of the TBS jinx that right there was classic stuff, I wanna see that again after the game.

[MegaMagick]

Robertson? :laugh1:

[BigDFan5]

We need to put up a couple more runs here

(BTW Hi I didnt know there was a game thread here :) )

[MegaMagick]

Let's not let up now.

[utrunner07]

so are we making bats in china these days or what?

[dback]

I am still nervous. Let's hope Holland can go at least another 2 innings, although I would settle for one and see O' Day in there.

[StylisticS]

I am still nervous. Let's hope Holland can go at least another 2 innings, although I would settle for one and see O' Day in there.

Let's try to get through the 7th with Holland. He is starting to settle down a bit (though he did get one hit to the warning track).

[BlueStar22]

I am still nervous. Let's hope Holland can go at least another 2 innings, although I would settle for one and see O' Day in there.

time to get Holland out. Let's not make the same mistake NY made by leaving Burnett in too long.

[MegaMagick]

I am still nervous. Let's hope Holland can go at least another 2 innings, although I would settle for one and see O' Day in there.

Why would Holland go any further? It's time for the Darrens.

Maybe he goes 1 more or part the 7th.

[utrunner07]

We had someone up in the pin at the begining of this inning, would not be suprised if it was Oday, Oliver then feliz

[dback]

Hambone!!!!

[utrunner07]

catch that yankee fan tools

[StylisticS]

Alright Hamilton...I thought it was going to come down and be caught though.

[Alweezy]

I am still nervous. Let's hope Holland can go at least another 2 innings, although I would settle for one and see O' Day in there.


The team got the jump start that they needed... we've been shaky all game. Now we can go out here and wrap it up. This is the time to put the Yankees to bed.


I sure hope we can. Because you have to feel this is the best the Yankees have to offer. Cano got his... they kept us from scoring, and got it to their bullpen when they wanted to.


After all of that we might still wind up winning in the end.


Uh oh, Josh just put another on the board...

[utrunner07]

he hit that a MILE high, nearly too high! Woo!!!!!!

[MegaMagick]

I wasss boooooooorrn freeeee!!

That's a catchy tune.

[StylisticS]

I think Josh has three hits this series and they have all been homers.

[Avaj]

Josh making them booo... love it!!

[utrunner07]

Now vlady, your job is to just try and get a hit, dont try for a home run just a hit or a long at bat.

[MegaMagick]

Looks like the Yanks have the BP curse now.

I hope i didn't give it back to the rangers by typing this. :p:

[utrunner07]

vlady vlady vlady vlady vlady vlady coming out of it???? Knock on wood but I am working on getting the foot out of my mouth. Lets go Nelly just get on here.

[DIAF]

Awesome

[utrunner07]

[MegaMagick]

Oh my god.

[StylisticS]

[DIAF]

HAHAHAHAHAHA this keeps getting better

[utrunner07]

THERE YOU GO!!!!!!! Yeah Baby! Way to drop it in!

[dback]

[DIAF]

[cowboyeric8]

[utrunner07]

lets go holland keep it rolling.

[dback]

Calm down Derek

[utrunner07]

geez holland just throw a strike.

[jimmy40]

I can't believe the Rangers are doing this. I just knew they would melt away in the heat of summer like always. Boy was I wrong.

[dback]

1 down

[utrunner07]

dang holland looks young out there

[utrunner07]

alright holand 1 out here.

[StylisticS]

[utrunner07]

[utrunner07]

[dback]

2 down... great set of pitches to Jorge

[TheCoolFan]

Holland finally showing what he can do

[dback]

Whiff

[StylisticS]

I'd bring Holland back out for the 8th.

[utrunner07]

way to be moreland, way to be holland! I say leave him in there for the 8th.
