Around the Majors...4/8

[Wallerrrr]

Yanks / Indians already 3-3 in the first

 

Hafner hit a 3-run bomb in the top of the inning...first at-bat returning to to CLE

[Angel Dog and Beer]

Man I forgot Hafner is with the Yanks.

 

Ichiro, Jeter, ARod, Wells, Hafner, Overbay, Petite, Rivera, Youk... they have the market cornered on aging ballplayers.

[Wallerrrr]

Hafner w/ 4 RBIs today...4-3 Yanks

[2002_halos_II]

It was 10 yanks last I looked. Wells contributing.

[Wallerrrr]

11-3 yanks

[Mark68]

Reds send 15 to the plate in the top of the 9th in STL, score 9 and leave the bases loaded. Only one hard hit ball, by Choo (of course).

 

13-4 Reds

I'm beginning to think the Reds don't suck. Just a hunch.

wells has been great for the yanks...

Vernon just doubled for the second time today.

[jshep]

my buddy in ny loves wells.  he's been carrying the team through the little success they've had.  

He should enjoy it while it lasts, because inevitably Wells will end up filling him with dread.

I'm beginning to think the Reds don't suck. Just a hunch.

This is how crazy that inning was:

 

Choo leads off with a walk.

Heisey pops to 2B.

WP sends Choo to second.

IBB to Votto.

Phillips doubles on a bloop 2B down the RF line, Choo scores, Votto to 3rd.

IBB to Bruce to load the bases.

Frazier walks to force a run.

Visit to the mound.

Hannahan singles on a ground ball to SS, deflected by 3B Carpenter. Phillips scores, everybody else advances one base.

Hannigan reaches on an E by SS Kozma. Bruce scores, everyone else advances.

Pitching change, Rzepczynski in for Boggs.

Izturis singles to RF, Frazier scores, everyone advances.

Choo lines a 2B to LF, clears the bases.

Heisey grounds to 2B, Choo to 3rd.

Votto singles to LF, Choo scores.

Phillips walks.

Bruce singles to 2B, deflected by Rzepczynski.

Frazier called out on strikes.

[Brandon]

Reds are legit.

Yanks roster would be sick 5 years ago.

[Lhalo]

Justin Upton just hit his 6th HR of the season. Holy crap.

[HaloNation]

anyone else thinks texas might be stronger than last year ?

[bdavis621]

No!

in some ways.

looks like the Rays got shafted on a 2 out ball 4 pitch (low and 12" off the plate) called as strike 3 looking to end the game. even Joe Nathan had a WTF look at the call. Rangers Win.

[rick99gtp]

Yep.  That ump had to go home or something.  That was terrible for us and the Rays.  Nathan thought he walked him...

Worst ball / strike call ive ever seen. Worse than the one on Aybar in the WBC. Would have been 1st and 2nd for Longoria. Nathan even thought it was a ball. You can read his lips " wow"

[sneaky_flute]

that was a terrible call. i can't stop laughing. i'd actually feel bad if ranger pitchers weren't squeezed the entire game.

[bdavis621]

Umpiring has been getting worse every year for the last ten plus years.

[TXNick]

Ummmmm.......Rangers win!!!

[AZMike]

Ummmmm.......Rangers win!!!

 

uhh... maybe it was the pitch framing... yeah, that's it

[BaseballMom]

Nathan was interviewed on MLB Tonight and he said that it was a strike all the way....they just laughed.

[DW711]

When even Pierzynski knows it's a ball...you probably screwed up.
