Rangers v Rays: Game 2 thread

[YosemiteSam]

Not sure there is enough Rangers fans on this board to start one of these threads. :yousuck:

Man did Shields get flustered by Andrus..... Not an earned run but I'll take it.

CJ looks great so far.

Work keeps getting in the way! I didn't see us score! :bang2:

Throwing error on Shields, he was so worried about Andrus running and threw over there like 4 times in a row and fell off the mound on an errant throw as well. Kinda comical how worried he was, but Treanor got home when Shields tried to pick off Andrus on first but was off on his throw.

Kinsler tags Shields for a solo shot into deep left.

Rangers up 2-0 on a 2-0 pitch with none on, two out.

Damnit I missed the freaking HR too!

Work is getting in the way of more important things! :laugh2:

 

[YosemiteSam]

btw, I got the Postseason.TV. It SUCKS.

Basically, they are talking and you can watch four different screens at once.

The problem is, it isn't like watching TV. Each screen is a camera and it never switches. So you can't just watch one and see the action. Not only that, they aren't on the same timeline. So, you can watch a guy get a hit with a 3-2 count in one camera and the guy has a 3-1 count in the other! :bang2:

No replays either.

I would say at least I get to see it, but work is preventing that too! :laugh2:

 

[YosemiteSam]

Borbon should have bunted towards first.

 

[YosemiteSam]

Damnit! I missed Youngs 3 run blast too! :bang2:

Though Postseason.tv is showing Young up!

 

[Gzus]

Young 3 run homer to midfield (2-2, 2 on, 1 out), after a "questionable" check swing call on 2-2. Maddon just got tossed after berating the officials for the check swing call.

Rangers up 5-0 in the 5th.

 

[Gzus]

Lol crowd chanting "REPLAY" hehehe. MLB don't care about Rays fans, they barely even show up to their own home games anyways.

Nelly took a long time to stick at the major league level. What changed? He learned to hit to all fields rather than just trying to hit a homer everytime.

Great hit by Cruz.

 

[YosemiteSam]

Kinsler singles scoring Vlad. 6-0 Rangers!

He adjusted his stance to a wider stance from what I've read, which gives him a better look at the ball.

Rangers lead 6-0 still in the 5th, they've gone through 3 pitchers in this inning alone. Last score: Kinsler RBI single on 3-1 pitch, 2 on (1st & 3rd), 2 out.

Big inning here for CJ after that 27 minute rest. Must get out w/o giving up anything.

 

[Gzus]

Hambone playing CF is a huge defensive difference maker in this series so far.

Good Job CJ. To the 6th up 6.

Actually it wasn't that he widened it, he opened his stance so he could see the pitcher better.

Good Job CJ. To the 6th up 6.

He is through 6 innings with only 74 pitches thrown too! Thats only 12.3 pitches per inning or 4.1 pitches per out. (he had one walk)
