2008 nlcs game 3

Lou Williams has been Stephen Curry-like of late for Clippers. Wizards have a fivesome that ranks among the best in the game. It's a great time to be the Rockets' defense. Can Rudy Gobert-less Jazz keep pesky Nuggets off the glass?

Another Iron Bowl clash between No. Kirk Cousins thriving even when Redskins are not. The hits he did have were quite impactful. Victorino drove in four runs with two outs in Game 2 on a single in the second and a triple in the third. With the Phillies up , Ryan Madson had runners at the corners with two out.

Casey Blake, who represented the tying run, hit a deep fly ball to center field. Victorino reached up and made a leaping catch at the State Farm sign for the final out. If Victorino failed to make the play, the Phillies would have been on the verge of coughing up a six-run lead at home. Back in Game 2, Phillies starter Brett Myers came close to hitting star slugger Manny Ramirez in the back on a pitch that Myers said slipped out of his hand.

So when Moyer hit Martin the Dodgers felt the Phillies were going after their hitters again, or at least Martin did. While the Dodgers went on to score four more times in the inning they were not happy with having a five run lead.

In the third inning Hiroki Kuroda and Martin, who at that point was upset about another pitch coming high and inside on him and grounding into a double play waited for their spot for retaliation. Shane Victorino would be their mark. When the opportunity came Kuroda threw his pitch up and in on Victorino, going over the head of the ducking Victorino. Give Victorino credit. He could have charged the mound for the head hunting, but he restrained himself and vehemently gestured to Kuroda that if he wanted to throw at Victorino to throw at his ribs.

Stay away from the head. The Dodgers were totally at fault for this whole incident. The Phillies never threw at Ramirez. The Phillies never threw at Martin. None of those pitches were intentional.
