Ugh... The Heart Attack kid is coming in to close the game... C'mon Rodney!

ROLLER COASTER RODNEY TIME!

 

[Anointed One]

Woot! Nice job, Rodney... 1-0 vs the Rays this series... One series at a time... Let's go!

Most boring roller coaster ride of all time.

 

[Anointed One]

M's have won 3 of their last 4...

Missed the game yesterday. Didn't see that the Rays are missing Loney, Cabrera and Souza with injuries. This definitely a series to get right and take advantage as that lineup they have is pretty poor.

Jackson hitting leadoff today.

Jackson hitting leadoff today.

Is miller still hot? Makes perfect sense to drop him to 8th.......

He hits about .300 in the 2 hole and kills righties so yeah. But looks like there is still an obsession to force feed Jackson in the lead off spot even with his low OBP and high K rate. This team will continue to frustrate me with this garbage.

 

[Itsmytime]

I really want to like Jackson...

Decent start to the game so far.

Wow, smith was clearly out on replay. I'll take it but that was the wrong call

 

[SeattleCoug]

Normally the pitcher is in trouble will the bases loaded. Our offense begs to differ.

 

[Itsmytime]

I wouldn't say CLEARLY, it was actually pretty difficult to tell.

I wouldn't say CLEARLY, it was actually pretty difficult to tell.

Not when they zoomed in. Smith's foot was clearly on top of Rivera's, which was in front of the plate.

 

[Podunkparte]

Settle down Happ. Tim Beckham is not good. Get him out and you're fine

 

[Itsmytime]

THAT BALL WAS FUCKING CATCHABLE! Why do outfielders let a ball bounce a yard or so in front of them?

 

[Anointed One]

How long do we let Chris Taylor try to work things out at the bottom of the order before sending him back down to AAA or benching him? He's hitting .177 with no signs of getting out of the funk... He's not hitting hard by any means so it's not like he's showing signs that he's going to have one of those hard hit balls find a gap soon... It's just irritating watching him come up to the plate knowing that he's more than likely not going to get a hit or advance the runner...

 

[Itsmytime]

Looks like Cano is back to pounding the ball into the ground...

 

[Itsmytime]

SEAGER!

I was going to say with the bases loaded, Seager will pop up to shallow right and Morrison will ground into a double play. But boy was I wrong!
