Was there some issues with the handling of the injury

[PrincetonTiger 8,516]

There goes a wasted start by Hendricks, excellent outings by Duensing and Strop and wonderful D

[2006Coltsbestever 22,331]

Freakin Rondon, our Bullpen is very suspect. 1 strike away from victory and the guy gives up a 3 run HR to Gardner of all people. A game the Cubs should've had in the bag. Hey Princeton, that is why I miss Chapman, our Bullpen is a joke.

Still do not want to pay for AC it wasn't the bullpen it was Rondon

[2006Coltsbestever 22,331]

Man I am pee'd off. Rondon blew it bigtime. You cant give up that.

Rondon is a huge part of the Bullpen. We just blew a game we had in the bag.

That is like blaming the Receiving Corps when one Receiver drops the ball

Come on man, he gave up a 3 run HR and just needed 1 strike to end the game. This would've been a huge win, he blew it plain and simple.

[2006Coltsbestever 22,331]

Yep. Chapman closes it out, kick in the gut. Thanks Rondon.

I am not defending HR just stating it was one player not the entire bullpen

 Wade Davis had pitched the last 3 days and was unavailable

@2006Coltsbestever Everything Will Be Okay

Yeah I am ok but Rondon can go suck an egg . Anyway I had to do some massive research and found out Bud Selig actually changed the rule for Post Season games regarding rain outs. In a Post Season game, 9 Innings have to be completed regardless even if it continues the next day. So if a team scores 10 runs in the 1st Inning and leads 10-0 and the rains come pouring in in the 3rd Inning and it gets suspended, the score remains 10-0 and play resumes the next day in the 3rd Inning. That is great to know, that rule change took place in 2011 and I had no idea that it did. In the Regular Season 5 Innings still need to be completed though otherwise it is wiped from the books. No bigge there, the Playoffs is the main thing. It would suck if your team was up 10-0 in Game 1 of the WS and it got called in the 3rd Inning because of rain  and they started from scratch but under the new rules not the case. Excellent rule change! Now we need to change the rule of HFA being determined by the winner of the All-Star game.

It is probably better that you did not watch that.

[coltsfansince65 850]

Yankees had plenty of opportunities to put runs on the board earlier in the game & ran themselves out of innings. Their defense was less than stellar yesterday as well. 

 

Almost got shut out for the first time this season before Gardner launched one in the 9th.

 

It really must have been like pouring salt on a wound seeing Chapman close it out.

 

Let's see how it unfolds today.

Not for me AC was a pure rental what would have really hurt would have been if Castro had hit the HR

Yankees are playing well. And they are doing it mostly with young players. I like that. I would never have been a fan of the Yankees teams that traded away future very good to great players like Fred McGriff and Jay Buhner, both prospects in their farm system back in the day. McGriff ended up having a borderline Hall of Fame career. 

 

Things are different with the Yankees now.

 

Btw, congratulations on finally being named a "Senior Member". (It just means that you have over 1000 posts.)

Yeah congrats on the win, that was a tough one to take. Cubs played beautifully the whole game up until 2 outs in the 9th. Gardner smashed one out, I knew at that point you guys would win because Chap was coming in.

 It is not real nice down here along the Patoka, Wabash, White and Ohio

Every things flooded PT wasn't any way it couldn't be , what we have probably had 10 inches of rain in 2 weeks some areas down south close to you have had 13 or 14 . Its definitely not good hope we get some Sunshine for a few days and dry some up . I feel for families that have or will be devastated by this.

Leake had the same thing happen pitched a gem had a 4-0 lead leaving in the 7th and loses game its devastating for moral. In his last start.

It is bad down here and the sad thing it will only get worse when the water gets here from points North and East

[Jay Kirk 3,329]

Cards end up winning 10 -0 last night Bats are alive even in absence of Fowler and Piscotty . Pham looked good . Several Cards are at or above 300 avg . Now others are heading that way. If they would just move Wainwright to the pen lol . Lance Lynn was very good again hes heading towards being a stellar Ace and FA at end of year unless Cards get him to sign .

That is a lot of rain! I pray for the best for everyone. We had torrential downpours yesterday with heavy winds. I can't imagine getting a full week of this. I hope everything is okay with you.

Princeton and Gibson County will get in from the North and South since the White and Patoka are Tributaries of Wabash and the Wabash the same with the Ohio

[Jay Kirk 3,329]

One thing I have see from Lynn is he commands strike zone , and the outside corners his . Hes very good pitching inside you crowd the plate you wont be there long lol.
