MLB Playoffs Day 17: ALCS 6 - Yankees at Rangers, 8 PM

Yankees Elimination Day, take two!

This time back in the Rangers' barn, it's a rematch of the Game 2 matchup of Phil Hughes and Colby Lewis. Here were their lines from G2 (Texas won 7-2):

Hughes: 4 IP, 10 H, 7 ER, 3 BB, 3 K
Lewis: 5.2 IP, 6 H, 2 ER, 3 BB, 6 K


Hughes got shelled, Lewis couldn't go deep into the game, so both bullpens saw significant action.

Since I was completely wrong about guessing last night's NLCS 5 was going to be a pitcher's duel for the ages, tonight I'm guessing the Rangers will score 38 runs and the Yankees will score 2.

Caught stealing!!!

Rob said...

What a throw by Molina.

Molina: "Where you goin' to?"

Rob said...

Rain falling again...

Rob said...

Molina: "I hit for the cycle and you can't even steal second, bitch."

Rob said...

1 run down, 37 to go.

Rob said...

Wooooooooow nice catch Elvis!

Rob said...

This game feels drastically different than Game 5. Yankee fans better be having indigestion right about now.

allan said...

21 and counting down ...

Rob said...

The ol' swinging scrotum bunt.

Rob said...

Stirring in the bullpen...

Rob said...

PASSEDBALLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

allan said...

Huey Lewis mowin' 'em down.

Rob said...

That hit Swisher. Fuckers better overturn this call.

Rob said...

Andddd that is now a blown call. Assholes.

Rob said...

VLAD!!!!

Rob said...

DONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kathryn said...

Woo hoo

Rob said...

Counting down the outs!

Rob said...

So uh, 9 outs?

Rob said...

SIX!

Rob said...

"There is plenty of baseball to be played here in Arlington." Oh yeah, Rangers aren't done scoring!

allan said...

Went to eat dinner when it was tied. Nice to see what I missed.

allan said...

okay, tried like hell to get some free streaming of the game -- and failed. rangers radio will have to do (though listening to sterling for the last outs might be fun).

Rob said...

Wouldn't you just love to see a grand slam off of JtC? That would bring the house down!

allan said...

yeah, more baserunners! good idea.

Kathryn said...

Do not squander

Rob said...

SCROTUM LINER!

allan said...

SCROTE! 6-1!

Rob said...

I was able to find a stream but I think you have to download a plug in. It's here if you want to take a hack at it.

Rob said...

They keep throwing Murphy fastballs on the inner half. I bet he's going to hit one here.

Rob said...

One what? I'm not sure.

Rob said...

By the way...

6 down, 32 to go!

Rob said...

Welp... I was kinda right?

allan said...

that was my first try, actually. system at work won't let me install or run anything.

Rob said...

I thought about whether to listen to Yankees radio during the bottom of the 9th, but since I have MLB At-Bat on my phone, I'll keep it on the fun, optimistic side and listen to Rangers radio.

allan said...

DUMBO K!

laura k said...

Happy YED a few innings early!

Never thought I'd cheer for Texas, but hey.

Rob said...

Meanwhile through all of this Colby Lewis is still in this game. Fuckin awesome!

allan said...

ANOTHER K!

Rob said...

Yeah, same here. But here they are, second on the World Series totem pole for me.

allan said...

last time lewis went more than 7.0 IP was june 19.

Rob said...

THREE!!!

allan said...

KI - CLUTCH!!!

MR. 24!


"and jeter had a FEEBLE hack! he tried to hold up but couldn't!!"

Rob said...

Going to attempt to record the last at-bat. Audio's getting a tad choppy, though. Streaming from MLB At-Bat

Rob said...

Yankee hats being thrown onto the field. Hahaha!!!

Rob said...

Okay, I've got my phone set to record the final out, and I've fired up my terrestrial radio to listen to Yankees radio call the final inning as well.

allan said...

smoke 'em if you got 'em!

allan said...

Ex-Ranger Slapppy set to make the final out.

laura k said...

A new Mr 27!

THANK YOU TEXAS!!!!

allan said...

THUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
YANKEES LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSE!

Happy YED, JoSers :)

Now we can enjoy the WS in peace.

Rob said...

Happy Yankee Elimination Day!!!!

Rob said...

"Striiiike three. Ballgame over! American League Championship Series over... Rangers win!"

John Sterling.

allan said...

Man, that Sterling is so spontaneous. You never know how he will make the call!
