Series Thread: M's @ Twins 4/8-4/11

[SeattleCoug]

Weird off day tomorrow but looking at the forecast it looks like there will be rain so games may be played on the right days anyway.

 

[SeattleCoug]

Sticking by the "ill be suprised if he throws another pitch this year" take.

im ok with marmo...at 1b......for now
moore in Lf
im even ok with france at 2B
but that leaves......DH..open..which haniger filled yesterday.....but they need him in RF
lewis .......comming back...will solve..the prob.as lewis to..Cf.....trammell..to..LF...and moore..to 2B..and france back to ...DH....would do it

question is..who are they calling up...........my guess......don walton.....as shed long is still on the..IL

 

[Duders]

Nice to see Nellie again. Wish he was in a M's uni though. Dude turns 41 in July and is still killing it at the plate.

 

[ulmax]

orrr....they could just play haggerty..at ..2B..or right field as yesterday..haggerty...3 games..9..at bats..0000.0000 bat ave......

[ulmax]

a bit early for me im comming in...in the 3rd inning.......its 1-1..all

marco gives it up to mitch garver..........a hr......minesota 4 mariners 1
kepler hit by pitch..come on marco......get em out

 

[ulmax]

and the hits just keep on coming.(tom cruse...a few good men..).simmons..gets hit on at 1st kepler to 2nd...mound visit
but the .....bleeding stops at arraez
marco does not look good here..it is only the 4th inning..so they will need him to pitch a few more...unless he cant
mariners up

 

[ulmax]

mariners 3..up...3 down
minnesota on the attack..bottom of the 4th
seems its rain delay....may god save our mariners...lol...thank you lord..for divine intervetion

 

[ulmax]

guess i will get a late lunch here..and..maybe..play a video..or go to chess .com for a game

 

[SeattleCoug]

Again Marco clearly doesnt have it but Servais keeps him in two extra innings including letting him give up 4 straight loud contacts before he does anything. Its literally the same shit over and over.

 

[ulmax]

marco out..steckenrider in..i missed some...............bottom of 5th inning..twins score 2 more..mariners ..just losing

they dont have enough..pitchers to...go...he had to stay a couple more...yeah they could have put..ljay newsome but then he would not have been ready for the rest of the sereis...they have a day off tomorow..they should go with the planed pitchers today......then reset.....if.........that is ..even possible

marmo..hr..yeah..not that it will ......help..but..its a hr...yeah..lol

torrens and haggerty get on base in the top of 7th..maybe somthing will happen here

yep crawford hits into a double play..haggerty and crawford out...torrens on 3rd

 

[ulmax]

haniger strikes out..3 down
bottom of 7thluis arraez 2 run homer..twins 10 mariners 2..it would have to be one of the greatest combacks of all time to come back from that
polanco walk
i think they may be yanking newsome cuz..mound visit..no..not yet

 

[ulmax]

top of 8th mariners up
maybe we will see middleton..before montero..but..ljay can handle it...even though he gave up a 2run homer..comming from training site..he is fresh

or just go the rest of the way with him
no save opportunity here

 

[ulmax]

top of 9th ...thank goodness...cant keep watching them...get hammerd on

If Marco is this franchise's ACE, the M's are in a world of hurt. I think this is Dipoto's 6 year, and if that is true, he is either doing a piss poor job (which I am not certain of that) or ownership doesn't really give a damn whether the M's have a winning season or not. If ownership doesn't loosen the purse strings, no GM will have a winning team. Dipoto's continued support of Servais as the team's manager leads me to question his objective competence as a GM. (M's ownership may have just gotten the Angel's problem GM along with his side kick Scott Servais). Servais just doesn't seem to know how to strategically manage his pitching staff and seems more interested in being "Mr. Nice Guy" with the whole team. This team has some young upcoming talent, no doubt, but it seems we would still be at the least, a good 2+ years out before the team will be competetive. IMO, Servais needs to be replaced, and if Jerry won't do that, Jerry needs to go to. I know my stating this probably pisses off some of you, but after a number of years of this franchise's performance, something big needs to happen instead of the same old shit year in and year out.
