Taijuan Walker 1-5, 7.33 ERA in first nine starts. He's 4-1, 2.04 in last five.

Was gonna post that myself.

You can see how much he has improved when you watch him pitch. The improvement really showed in Toronto, his stat line was good up until one inning when he got blown up. He has certainly made adjustments. If only the offense could do that as well.

Good win by the Ms tonight.

A win today would be followed up with Felix tomorrow, and the possibility of gaining even more momentum. We aren't on life support just yet, but it's getting close. We need this sweep!

They seem to be a little different team at the moment, let's hope it continues....

This is the one time I will say that just winning the series isn't enough. I think the pressure is on us tomorrow because a win means we gained 3 games in 3 days, but a loss means we gained 1 game in 3 days and we already wasted so many games this year we need every one to count from here on out.

Completely agree.

Why in the actual fuck are the Mariners hitting Trumbo 2nd?

 

[EVille3]

What is this line up? Last night's worked too well?

obiously, edgar taught him to be a contact hitter overnight

 

[seahawksfan234]

Great AB by Morrison. 11 pitches and draws the walk.

"You walk the leadoff hitter, you will score 38% of the time"

Hear that Mariners?

 

[Anointed One]

Why on earth would someone put Trumbo hitting #2 in the lineup?

 

[Anointed One]

Since Edgar was named hitting coach, I have never seen these guy's draw so many walks like they have the past two games

Only the M's would force a pitcher to throw 43 pitches in 1 inning and only get 1 run.

One thing is for sure, I'll take forcing a pitcher to throw 43 pitches and only score one run than the Mariners previous tendency of forcing a pitcher to throw 9 pitches and scoring nothing.

Seth smith is a good baseball player.

True but now we just ran a pitcher out of the game by forcing him to throw 93 pitches thru 3 1/3... We only got 1 run... That's just sad to me...

Saw that, crazy. Kid probably throws harder than I do and I'm still in my physical prime.

Most undervalued player on the team IMO.
