manager buck showalter said his guys needed to self-motivate, and they did. the 50 or so fans who stood outside the game got to cheer and could be heard throughout the stadium. the birds won, and manager buck showalter says he hopes this will propel not only his team but the city as well. >> we talk to players, and i want to be a rallying force for our city. i want us to learn from some stuff that's gone on, on both sides. >> there are so many story lines surrounding this year's finals. the capitals and the rangers meeting in the playoffs for the fifth time in seven years. the rangers finished the regular season with the best record in the nhl. and these two teams have a very long storied history. but it's a history that has favored new york. the capitals last two years have come in seven games at the hands of the rangers. but the capitals say that's even more motivation. >> we get the chance to play the best team in the league, get a chance to try and get some redemption that they've kind of handled us pretty good the last two years so this is the ultimate c

well, i think the answer to that is as buck showalter and others said, we do want to bring some kind of normalcy back to the city. mark: so no sooner were the commentators done, they have a big first-inning, including this home run you will see rattling around in the right field seats. announcer: he got a hold that one. will it stay there, and goodbye, home run! mark: so the fans were kept outside, some of them at the gates to watch the game, peering through, and the players inside the stadium kind of made light of the situation they found themselves in. waving to the imaginary band and signing some imaginary, pretend autographs. the sad thing is all of those foul balls, they would normally give that fan a contract, as they say in camden yards, but they just rattled around, and nobody got them. white sox were beaten, 8-2, and an unprecedented move by major league baseball. john, did they do the right thing, continuing the game but letting the fans inside? john: i think you and i will disagree on this. there was no easy or simple or obvious solution to this. when they had to make the

. >>> buck showalter hoping his penns fair better tonight.tom 1, adam jones, he's getting things going. he takes cc sabathia's hit. fans with a little de javu. he's back on it and goes right into his office glove. chase hedley comes around to 2nd and the yankees pull off a run. in the ninth, a-rod in to pinch-hit. the yankees get a pitch hit grand slam last night, but they ground out to short and birds hang on to win it 4-3. >>> the wizards were the o vying for a playoff shot. they had only two regular season games left. the pacers win in their end. they need that had w and tonight it took them extra time but they get it. wizards facing the team who knocked them out of the playoffs last season. you know john wall wanted it. skip ahead, this is overtime. under a minute to go tied at 83 john wall. you can't defend that. the contact and one missed the free throw. wizards up by two. 28 seconds to go in overtime. pacers down two. paul george over the defense. he knocks it down ties the game. tied at 85. bradley beal was driving and loses the handl

. >>> orioles/red sox, buck showalter highly interested in this one.t would change after the 4th inning. ubaldo jimenez pops pablo is an -- sandoval and he was flat lined and his temperature got up. 9th inning tied game, bogart unties it with the bloop. boston wins 3-2. >>> game of the week, sherwood softball versus paint branch. yup, sherwood doing all the scoring in this one, gang. this is nicole stockenger. her stock is pretty high. she hit that ball and running running, home run for her. storming warriors pouring it on. amanda berkeley with the base knocked the storming warriors, living up to their nickname, win by a score of 11-0. >>> but a big night for the caps. they come back. >> very exciting for the capitals because for a second there it did not look good. i could hear our producer ben screaming and hollering. that was tom. >> nothing is as fancy as his attire tonight. >> like that? >> there's a lot going on there. >> there's a lot happening. i'm pushing the fashion statement. >> you are. >> you only see me once a month, so it doesn't matter.

buck showalter saying there's a lot that goes into it. a lot of scheduling. they've already had to double dip because of the games they've missed. there's a lot that goes through this. there's not a lot of days off. travel all those things.. that was some of the pregame comments. you'll hear some postgame comments from the players. a surreal day is over. >> quite unfortunate too because hundreds of thousands of dollars lost in revenue there as well. >>> a calm interlude in the wake of the tensions in baltimore. ♪ ♪ [ music ] ♪ ♪ >> the baltimore symphony played a free outdoor concert to anyone who wanted to join them. the bso posted that we could all sue a little more music in our lives right now. >>> i hope you were able too get out and enjoy this gorgeous wednesday. we do have a yellow alert in place for tomorrow. when are you expecting that rain to start up? >> probably in the afternoon. i think tomorrow morning is going to be fine. and we have a beautiful evening right now. 6:00 in the morning mild and clouds sprinkles back in the mountains. and then by 1

here's buck showalter after the game. >> it's like everything they put the bat on a hole.ome balls hard too. one of those days we all know bud is capable of better. it will happen. wasn't there today for sure. >> let's talk some basketball now, the wizards in a tough spot these final four regular season-games. do they fight for home-court advantage in the first round or rest some of their key players? last season home court didn't mean anything to the wizards. they were 1-4 at the verizon center in the playoffs. this year though it's all about being healthy and performing at a very high level. >> i think we all understand the way we've been playing lately has been a defensive-minded team first and passing the ball and not having a lot of turnovers. we feel like we can beat anybody in this league and we've proven that. that's the biggest key, having that focus and mind-set of being locked in no matter if at home or on the road. >> i don't mess with the basketball gods very much. usually gets you. you play the game. we play every game to win. where we end up who we -- we'll

buck showalter said he was hoping to give the city a sense of normalcy something they can hang on to. whereas maybe you walk by and hear someone on a car radio playing the orioles game and they hope by playing today, they could give people that. adam jones, the all-star here in baltimore, gave a really poignant press conference before the game. he talked about, look no matter what race you are here right now, you are hurting. he wanted the youth in this city which he's worked with extensively. he said, i hear you, he said i want you to know you're being heard. someone is standing with you. he said it's okay that you are frustrated but he made the point that aggressive violent action is not acceptable. so trying to deliver a bunch of different messages there. oh also by the way, trying to play baseball. >> by the way, yeah playing well today. again, perspective. i feel the need even though we're overwhelmed by the bizarre nature of this game the city said they needed police the law enforcement in other parts of town. rachel nichols, thank you very much. let's move along. baltimore is m

buck showalter tells me you need the time. you're not a good manager. change. and you got to stay in the box. if you're batting, in the batters box don't get hit by a pitch or dirt or something happened, like a broken bat, stay in there. one foot out, go back in. that is way it should be. no more boring to watch somebody adjust themselves 20 times. stuart: do the glove. >> tommy lasorda, no one says going to baseball game to go home. we want to see action. there are no actions between pitches. debate it but not too long but quicker on inning changes. stuart: you like this. >> absolutely. 2 1/2 hours in 1981 when we were in high school. >> what if you break the rules? >> right now talking about a fine. eventually they will say, okay, that is a ball and strike. that is where they will be heading. stuart: tell me about disney investing in this fantasy sports website. i mean you can gamble, all the rest. they're putting in 250 million. >> they said that the fantasy, what they're talking about with draftkings, will be something now word over $900 million. di

>> the orioles didn't do much but i trust that play from buck show sho sh showalter for two years. on by not really doing anything. >> it's awesome to see buck work a couple years ago in the postseason everything was so calculated. it's cool. >> pensacola boy. >> a year ago at this time we were at wrigley field for opening day. a lot of people around that organization said not this year but we have a great minor league system. we keeb hearing about that with the cubs. do they break through a little bit this year? >> i played there for two years and i'm dying for them to get back to the postseason. yeah i don't want to say that i have a breakthrough but they're going to be a heck of a lot bet we're if additions of jon lester. they got guys from the minor leagues, chris bryant created a stir in spring training. he will be up in two weeks. >> nl east let's go to another team that suffered for a very long time. the new york mets. we always see mets caps around here. how are the mets going to be this year? >> you answer that lauren. >> bad news with wheeler. harvey is back. i saw him in
