Series Thread: Mariners @ Rays 6/7 - 6/10

[Tapey]

No line up that I can find yet, however I think we need to take 3 of 4 from the series with the schedule thats coming up.

 

[Duders]

Gotta keep adding to the W column. Houston's next 4 games are with Texas and then they play Oakland. Their schedule is looking a little soft. We've got a rough June with the 7 Boston games and
3 Yankee games. We get a little reprieve with the Orioles and KC though.

Hopefully they win the first two and make this gimmick "opener" thing look stupid

Thought I saw something that said Houston's next 36 games are against teams currently below .500

The first time Houston plays a team that is currently .500+ is July 20th when they take on the Angels. The Mariners are playing.500+ teams 25 times during the same time period. Gonna be a long June and most of July.

so essentially we should expect a slide in the standings but remain in wild card spot, fair?

however, im sure this board will implode and several posters will calling to blow it up and the whole roster sucks.

Hard to say what the outcome will be but as far as a WC spot we might need to look past July to see what happened.
Yep, if the shit hits the fan during June/July, this board will definitely light up and I'll probably be right in there with the rest of them. This board is therapeutic because it's usually a safe place to vent the frustrations- but I think we all care about the M's and want the best.

Yea I'd say that's fair. I still think a .500 June will keep us in a decent enough position for WC2. If I am being honest with myself I still don't see winning the division as very likely at this point.

 

[Duders]

Not a good start- sacks loaded with one out and zero plated.

 

[Cloud]

Quality AB’s by Seager and Healy!

 

[FirebreathingMonkey]

Heads up base running and its now 3-0 M's.

 

[Podunkparte]

Jean fucking Segura!

I love that we're finally the smart aggressive team taking extra bases and stealing runs from another team's lazy effort!

 

[FirebreathingMonkey]

SPAN HOMERUN!!!!

 

[Duders]

Haniger is just so friggin awesome

 

[WizardHawk]

Rangers with an early lead on the stros. No confidence at all they will hold it, but it's 1-0 for now.

 

[Duders]

It's kinda too bad Leake couldn't finish for a complete game. Great pitching by Mike tonight.

 

[Tapey]

Oh sweet

 

[WizardHawk]

Yeah, not surprised Texas behind now 3-1. Over under on Houston finishing with 6 runs?

Under, unless they score 7 then ill change my answer to over

 

[SeattleCoug]

Geez they just couldn’t help but make it a 1 run game I guess
