Series Thread: Home against the Rangers, Apr. 17-19

[AceKeptic]

Friday: Happ vs Gallardo
Saturday: Felix vs Lewis
Sunday: Paxton vs Detwiler

Okay, guys, it's obvious that Felix can't do it all himself, so as much as this is going to irk a few of you, I'm saying we go 1-2 against them. Apparently, we have a lot of bugs to iron out with this team, and it won't be a quick fix.

I predicts 3-0, but if we were to lose one it would be Sunday with Paxton on the mound. Happ looked great in his first start, and now he's gonna be at Safeco. Felix is Felix, he'll light em' up. Paxton is in a little bit of a funk, not Walker funk, but a funk non the less. It's hard to sweep in general, and if we can't get to that peak this series it'll be Sunday that wrongs us.

Also, Cruz hits 2 more HR's.

No surprise here:

Beyond the Box Score ‏@BtBScore 2m2 minutes ago

Batters swinging and missing most frequently so far in 2015: R. Rua (27%) M. Zunino (25%) C. Owings (24%) C. Davis (23%) (50 pitches min.)

-------------------

He is also K'ing on 44% of his PA's.

Zunino's inability to hit off-speed pitches will continue to haunt him. And his hacking mentality is just ugh because "let's just hope I make contact because I'm going to swing as I can" is almost un-watchable... It's not very hard to get him out right now.

Predicting wins and losses is really hard to do just looking at the pitching matchups. Lets just try to go 1-0 tonight. We have Staff Ace J.A. Happ on the mound which is a good thing

 

[TheDayMan]

Double play with bases loaded. Bummer...

 

[SeattleCoug]

Wow guy bobbled it twice right to his teammate on a ball hit hard.

 

[Perpetual_Beast_Mode]

Happ seems to have some pretty impressive stuff, wouldn't you agree?

I'm liking him so far.

23 of our 32 runs this year are from HR's... Sad that they can't manufacturer their runs... Tonight is a great example...

These guys are so frustrating to watch... When are they going to sit Logan? He's not good enough to be a starting 1B on most teams, let alone ours... We're better off with Smoak and that's not a good thing...

It sucks that he just gave up a homerun of course, but I think that in a pitchers park like Safeco, Happ might finish with a sub 4 ERA.

Sadly that won't be good enough w/ our offense...

Omg, this team

Another cy young performance against the Mariners

Yep... A guy with a 5.59 era is shutting us down...

 

[SeattleCoug]

Can't expect much more out of Happ. Good outing to help give the pen more rest

 

[WizardHawk]

ok, NC is on with no outs so lets get something going.

 

[WizardHawk]

No excuse losing to this team at home this way. M's are so much better than the rump rangers.

 

[WizardHawk]

2 on and no outs. Is there where they give up a DP or tag their reliever for some crooked numbers?
