Texas/Arizona

[fan_since79]

4-0, D-Backs through six innings.

 

 

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

Skaggs is dominating the Rangers. They're playing a double header today. Darvish vs. Cahill in the second game.

[fan_since79]

Arizona needs to win this one, as Darvish will be tough.

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

Cahill is pitching very well. Arizona has a good chance to win both games. 

[fan_since79]

They pinch-hit for Skaggs, so he's through for the day.

[2002_halos_II]

I just posted that. No DH for Texas. Sea and Oak winning so far at home.

[fan_since79]

Who knew that Aaron Harang was such an ace? He's pitching a four-hit shutout for the Mariners.

 

And Cespedes has just increased the Oakland lead over SF to 4-1 with a two-run double.

 

Texas is still losing 4-0 with one inning to go.

 

 

edit: 5-0 through eight innings.

[Willy J.]

5-3 Arizona. .  two for the Rangers, one out in the top of the 9th.

 

D-bags trying to blow it. .

[Willy J.]

'Zona hangs on for the 5-3 win.

 

Chance for us to pick up a game.

[CanadianHalo]

Jesus that was close

[ScottT]

Could pick up 1.5 games.  Too bad the season was over a few weeks ago.  

[Willy J.]

Jesus that was close

 

 

No kidding. .  I thought only our relievers walked lead off batters in the 9th.  lol!

[2002_halos_II]

And Houston beat Colorado...

[fan_since79]

Second game:

 

2-0 Arizona in the first inning!

[fan_since79]

Texas blows a doubleheader!

 

Pennington walk-off single to win, 5-4!

i'd trade washington for mike scioscia in a heartbeat. worst manager in baseball bar none.

[krAbs]

does that mean we gain more ground then we did on an average win over the 8 game streak? (.5 games/1 loss=.5 games gained for this loss vs 3 games / 8 wins=.375 games gained per win, on average)

If he's the worst...than about 25 other managers in baseball never would have got their jobs coaching.

we gained on Texas (who we will not catch) we lost ground to Oakland and a few other teams ahead of us in the wild card race.

 

Silver Linings: at least the Doyers lost a half game in their own division.

[YouthofToday]

Darvish is really good and has become of the game's best pitchers. 14 is and 0 walks against the dbags? Impressive.

Dude's WHIP is also below 1. He's firmly in the Cy Young conversation.
