pitchers were stellar but left with no decision Antworten

Jenson Button thinks Formula One should consider hosting shorter races in order to appeal to a younger generation of fans.F1 races take well over an hour to complete, with a maximum time limit of two hours in the regulations. Button, the longest-serving driver on the current grid, thinks F1 should be open to making radical changes if it means staying relevant to a new audience.There will always be the diehard fans that have watched Formula One for 10, 20 years and will watch a whole grand prix, but thats not who were after, Button said. Its the younger fans we need to appeal to, to try and attract them to something for an hour and a half is very difficult.People have a short attention span. Were like kids, we cant sit down and do one thing for so long - we have to move on and do something else. I cant sit in front of the TV for an hour and a half and watch a film, I have to be active.Its a tough one because Formula One is Formula One, and changing that is a shame because thats the way it has always been. But we need to move with the times if we want the sport to be relevant.Button believes a shorter format would be successful because it has been successfully implemented in other sportsWhen I watch Formula One, I see a race thats exciting. Other people might look at it and say well there are a few overtaking moves, but in an hour and a half there is 10 minutes of action!Thats why I find it exciting, because when those moves happen its amazing that driver has put everything on the line. But 10 minutes of action in an hour and a half is not enough for most people, and I can understand that.Short races, short sports are on the up. For example, people love sprint track and field because its a short burst of energy. Ive never watched a Tour de France stage, but Ive recorded a Tour de France stage and watched the last 10 minutes.F1 needs to attract a younger audience, but how you go about doing that is a lot more difficult.

Just like that, the Astros have a winning streak and their first series win in nearly two months. Corporan hit an RBI double off reliever Sean Doolittle in the 11th inning to drive in Jose Altuve, lifting Houston to a 2-1 win over the Oakland Athletics on Wednesday. "I was ready for the fastball and he threw it," Corporan said. "As soon as I hit it I thought its either a homer or a double and were going to score." Corporans hit came after Oakland nearly won the game in the bottom of the 10th when Houston left fielder Robbie Grossman made a leaping grab of Chris Youngs deep fly at the fence. Its the first time the Astros have had back-to-back wins since June 15-16 when they took three of four from the Chicago White Sox. Thats also the last time Houston won a series. "That was a big hit by Corporan," Astros manager Bo Porter said. "Hes actually got big hits all year. You look at the year (catcher Jason) Castros having, a lot of that credit goes to Corporan being a great backup and giving him opportunities to take days off." Jose Altuve singled with one out Doolittle (3-4) and was headed for third on Corporans double to left-centre when Young bobbled the ball. Altuve alertly rounded third and scored the tiebreaking run while Corporan was caught in a rundown between second and third. Corporan had entered the game as a defensive replacement in the bottom of the ninth. "Weve been playing pretty good," Corporan said. "Things are going our way now. Its our turn." Chris Carter homered and Jonathan Villar added two hits for the Astros. Houston has won the first two games of this series after dropping 11 of the first 12 between the two division rivals. Lucas Harrell (6-13) pitched one inning for the win while Josh Fields earned his second save. Yoenis Cespedes singled and scored Oaklands run. The As have dropped nine of 13 and fell two games behind first-place Texas in the West. "It just seemed like it was frustrating from the beginning and got more frustrating as the game went on," said As manager Bob Melvin, who was ejected in the eighth inning after arguing a close play at third base. "You have to try and put that away and keep your wits about you and not get frustrated.dddddddddddd" Houston won despite Oakland getting the tying run on base in the bottom of the 11th. Eric Sogard hit a leadoff double but Fields struck out Alberto Callaspo, Jed Lowrie and Josh Reddick to end it. Carter, the former As first baseman, homered off As starter Jarrod Parker leading off the seventh. Its Carters third in his last five games. Brandon Mosss RBI double in the seventh off Houston reliever Phil Humber tied it. Both starting pitchers were stellar but left with no decision. Houstons Jarred Cosart, the first pitcher in franchise history to begin his career with five consecutive starts of five-plus innings while allowing two or fewer runs, kept the As silent early. He allowed only one runner past first base through six innings and didnt give up a fly ball out until Josh Donaldsons sinking liner to centre leading off the fifth. The Astros also backed him with solid defence. Houston turned a double play to end the third, and centre fielder Brandon Barnes made a running catch near the wall to rob Seth Smith of extra bases in the sixth. Parker pitched a career-best 8 1-3 innings for Oakland and had six strikeouts. The right-hander faced just two over the minimum through the fifth and made his only mistake came in the seventh when he gave up Carters team-leading 22nd home run of the season. Melvin was ejected in the eighth after arguing a call by third base umpire Doug Eddings. Sogard doubled leading off the inning but was thrown out on a close play trying to advance on Nate Freimans deep fly to centre. Melvin scampered out of the dugout to dispute the call before getting tossed. NOTES: Castros single in the ninth extended his hitting streak to a career-best 12 games. ...
