Sunday a.m. Rangers things

Although it sounds ridiculous, given the Rangers lost by 9 runs, last night was a winnable game.
The blown call on the Napoli tag by Ron Kulpa was huge. If that play is called right, the Rangers give up 0 or 1 runs in the 4th inning, Matt Harrison is still in the game instead of Scott Feldman and Alexi Ogando, and the entire dynamic of the game changes.
If Napoli makes a good throw home in the 4th inning, rather than throwing it away, Harrison may escape allowing just a run, and may end up staying in the game for a while.
If Ian Kinsler's fly ball to Matt Holliday in the bottom of the 4th scores Napoli, rather than leading to a double play, things change. If Kinsler does something productive, rather than popping out with the bases loaded in the 5th, things change.
The Rangers lost this game primarily because everyone who came into the game to pitch after Matt Harrison left the game was awful, but the opportunities were there for 1) Matt Harrison to stick around past the 4th, and 2) the Rangers to score enough runs to keep them in the game. It just didn't happen.
Jeff Wilson's game story talks about how the things that have been strengths for the Rangers so far this offseason hurt them yesterday.
T.R. Sullivan's game story says the Rangers were on the wrong side of history last night.
Richard Durrett has his rapid reactions from last night's game.
Jeff Caplan writes about the game-changing moment when Holliday gunned down Napoli at the plate.
Caplan also takes a look at Mike Napoli's bad fourth inning.
Despite being victimized by a blown call, Mike Napoli says he doesn't want instant replay.
Ron Washington says, though, that he's still confident in Napoli at first base, saying "any baseball player in the world" could have made that bad throw.
Behind the paywall, Evan Grant writes about the bullpen's self-destruction.
Anthony Andro writes that the bullpen, which has been a strength this postseason, was no help last night.
Anthony Castrovince says that Washington's confidence in Alexi Ogando has likely waned, given his performance last night.
Gil Lebreton has a column stating that the Cardinals beat the Rangers the way the Rangers usually beat their opponents in TBIA...by bludgeoning them to death.
Derek Holland takes the mound today with the Rangers needing a big game from him, and he says that he has a lot to prove.
Randy Galloway, meanwhile, is already foreseeing a 3-1 deficit with Holland starting today.
Josh Hamilton has had a disappointing postseason, and Wilson writes that he believes he has a sports hernia, which would help explain that.

Jun Pierre would've had Napoli out at home.

not really
it took a perfect throw from Holliday, and a terrible slide to get Napoli
A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings.
I had some foggy beer goggles on
I’ll have to rewatch, but it looked to me like even if the throw was a little off line, Molina still had plenty of time to gather himself and get positioned to block the plate

It was a lot closer than it looked in real time.
This day is slightly marred by the fact that John Rhadigan sucks a flaming bag of shit. - LiamP
If Napoli slides into home
with his left leg a bit more inside, he beats the tag.
"In fact, most of these free-swinging Padres couldn’t hit Dock’s funky palm ball. I threw it often. But by then, also, the first acid distractions entered: the TV flickered; the cracks in the wall started to move; the hand soap started to breathe — those sorts of things. Plus I was drawn to the outdoor garden between innings. Rain was near, I sensed." - A.J. Daulerio
No doubt about it
Being a catcher, I was surprised he didn’t try such a thing.
"It's incredibly hard." - Ronald Washington
Anyone else not worried? This team has responded with a win after every 2011 postseason loss
And there’s no reason to believe they won’t tonight.

But it’s nothing that a little 4 run outburst in the first won’t alleviate.
Our pitching staff has only pitched one half inning with a lead. It’s time to change that tonight.

I think Dutch pitches decently tonight.
More importantly, I think we knock the cover off the ball and win handily.

Pressure? If there’s any pressure it’s the pressure pressurizing the panty cannon.
I don't know if that is even realistic with the way he has been pitching.
But in the positive, hopefully his command struggles recently means he is due for a great start. Fingers crossed.
I'm worried.
I’m not panicked unless they lose tonight.

Kulpa will be calling balls and strikes tonight....
"Sometimes you just want to sit back and watch somebody throw 100." - Jeff Passan on Neftali Feliz
"Baseball's all that's real" - JB
he's a cardinal fan
and he’s had the two big blown calls already in this series. Kulpa better be fair behind the plate tonight
A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings.
I highly doubt there is conspiracy going on
They make too good a living to be calling games in favor of their home town team.
That's a couple really bad calls
I’m not saying it’s a conspiracy, I’m saying he’s a shitty umpire that better call the strikezone fair. If he favors the cards, then I’m talking conspiracy.
A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings.
The Beltre call was impossible to see. You had to just trust the player's reaction
which is a lousy way to make a call.
He called the Ian slide correctly, and I highly doubt he was sure about the call when he made it.
If the strike zone favors the Cards tonight (as it indubitably will be claimed by LSB at some point), it’s probably just bad luck and poor umpiring.
we said the same thing about the nba refs

Gambling is an entirely different story, though
I would be much more inclined to believe that MLB told the umpires to push a series one way or another, than this one guy is trying to get his home team to win.
Wasn't he on the third base line?

Biggest mistake was taking Harrison out of the game
He looked he was struggling way more than he was because of bad calls, poor defense, and seeing-eye grounders.
Secondly, that throw was perfect from Holliday, but Napoli has to slide head first away from 1b, knowing there is only one place that throw could come in.

If Hamilton has a sports hernia
he should not be playing. That’s not just a statement made in light of the team’s prospects with him at 50%; it’s a precaution for his future. A guy that fragile shouldn’t add to his body’s issues.

It all comes from the same place.
It is most important to field the best lineup during the most important time of year (the world series). Worry about josh’s mental state later. Whether or not he would forgive Wash is secondary to doing what is best for the team during the World Series.
Tough stool
he’s not a positive force in the lineup. And Ron feels compelled to stand by his guy and keep him at the #3 hole if he’s in the lineup, taking at-bats and baserunners away from the real meat of the order, 5-6-7.

I agree that production should be the issue
I’m just saying, you can’t force him out for long-term medical reasons if he really wants to play and the docs have cleared him.
If he has a sports hernia
I doubt the doctors support him playing.

He refuses to take an MRI
Which proves that he has something bad. If he takes the MRI the doctors have obvious cause to force him out.
Yeah,
I’m thinking that there are some shennanigans like this going on. Still, sometimes they try to treat these things conservatively (read: no surgery) at first to see if it gets better. But if that’s the case…why play him down the stretch?

This is the major downside of having a manager like Wash
Always protecting his guys. Overall I still want Wash as manager, it just sucks when this happens at the worst possible time.
He would if he was being sized for that ring.

With torrealba behind the plate that we would give up a lot more runs and look what happened. It seems every time he catches we lose

Yep...
I would just assume that the Rangers find a way to shutout the Cardinals tonight with just Holland, Adams and Feliz pitching while also having the three in some combo K Pujols 4 times and Ranger’s offense destroy Cardinal pitching for about 15 runs. That is perfect revenge for me.
Yeah.
Plus, it would make it more difficult to recruit him here to the Rangers in the offseason.*

Feldman and Ogando even being in the game, and everything that happened after that.
It didn’t “cost” the Rangers the game in that it was the sole reason they lost. It certainly impacted the game negatively, though, and is entirely preventable.

My point is...
If you just think it was a mistake but not the cause of the loss than who cares? If it were a three or four run game I might be able to see your argument, but it wasn’t. When Pujols gets like that it’s silly to suggest that it matters who the pitcher is…it clearly doesn’t. Jackson sucks you’ll win tonight…relax.

Even assuming you're right, and the mistake didn't ultimately "matter"
It was an easily preventable mistake that could have been corrected quickly and effectively. That MLB chooses not to use the technology available to it is unbelievable. That and that alone, regardless of the consequences of the mistake itself, should be trumpeted.

Pressure? If there’s any pressure it’s the pressure pressurizing the panty cannon.

3 run bomb in the 5th to put the Rangers up by 2.
I’m calling it. Completely baseless and probably incredibly wrong, but I don’t give a shit.
Honey Badger don't give a shit!

I didn't even notice that at first.
What a fail…we can jerk Napoli around but a barely breathing Hamilton can keep hitting 3rd? This is stupid. God I hate the World Series.

Napoli should catch the rest of the way.
I became sick to my stomach when i heard Torrealba was catching yesterday. But I reasoned that Wash figured he needed to sit Napoli at some point and earlier was probably better than later. Especially considering how well Napoli seems to work with Holland.
