Series Thread: Phillies vs M's: May 9th-11th

[Anointed One]

If you're better than your record indicates, this is where you should build on momentum by winning this series at home...

Game 1: Flexin... Sad that your SP has a very respectable ERA of 3.10 and his record is 1-4
Game 2: Ray... We didn't sign an ace to be sporting a 4.38 ERA through 5 starts... He needs to do much better than that
Game 3: L.Gilbert... Hopefully he can shake his last start off...

If that was bad Gilbert in his last start, it is going to be a great year for him. He was off, but battled and that is a true Ace like mentioned by others before on here. Love seeing that.

Ray, not as impressed with. One year wonders at age 30 is always a warning sign especially on a contract year. I don't mind the signing if it was packaged with another stud pitcher, but as the only that worried me.

I am definitely reading too much into it - especially because I value sportsmanship - but when Segura hit that homer and pointed at the bullpen, I wasn't a fan. I felt like that was his way of giving the middle finger.

Am I the only one that’s tired of seeing Raleigh in the lineup? And also Toro leading off?

 

[Anointed One]

Bottom of the second. runners on first and second. We have a pop up to the infield, a strikeout And another pop out to the infield. Inning over. That is Mariner baseball…

They sent Raleigh down but Murphy dislocated his shoulder like the next day so they had to bring him back up.

Today's lineup features Dylan Moore sporting the third highest batting average currently at .217. It'll be amazing if these guys score, despite the Phillies pitcher coming into the game with an ERA not much below 5.

I was really hoping the M's would sign Rodon after the lockout ended, but Jerry said we did enough, despite the only options as our 5th starter being two rookies who never pitched above double A.

Well, THIS one ended quickly.

We must have the only team in MLB that always seems to quit in May.

Did they pull straws on this line-up today?...

They don't pull straws. They pull TALENT.

Because Heaven forbid someone sets a positive example on this team.

100% agree. Low risk deal even at his price.

 

[NWinAZ]

That Castellanos guy is pretty good. Too bad he wasn't a free agent...oh wait

 

[WizardHawk]

Season best performance by their starter.

Color me shocked.

 

[NWinAZ]

What if this guy called M's games...lol.

 

[NWinAZ]

I told you a million times they sell fans this shit over and over. They (Mariners) are a joke.

It's like I said the last series, don't base your outlook on hype.

They can say "This is our year" every time for the next two decades, that doesn't make it true.

Oh Hell Yes.....
One thing I hate the most is being lied to.
Time to have some fun...Been promised a team for years.
It's almost to a "Mystery Science Theater" level at this point...

I’m getting really tired of seeing Castillo and his gold chains, and his 10+ ERA on the bump night after night it seems.

He’s getting crushed tonight and his stuff isn’t that good normally. how can we not have a better relief option in the system than this clown?

He has decent career ERA numbers but like everyone else they get to Seattle and can’t perform to their normal ability or anywhere near it

 

[seahawksfan234]

I think I've been punished enough watching this game, but I have to say that Castillo has pitched about as well as any of us could.
