Series Thread: ALDS - M's at Houston

[ulmax]

I protest this schedule as giving an unfair
Advantage to houston..and messing up
Unnessisarilu...the Seahawks start time

And with no ..travil time..between
Sunday and monday..can only benefit
Houston..
In there.
..house..

Game 1 - Gilbert
Game 2 - Castillo
Game 3 - Kirby ( Brash for back up )
Game 4 - Gilbert ( Castillo / Munoz for backup if it is a must win to get to game 5 )
Game 5 - all hands on deck, whatever it takes to win

Servais needs to be real careful what relievers he marches out there to 'give them an inning of work' because that could cost us a ball game and the series. Skip better think twice about marching Sewald out to the bump to close out a tight game. Astros will score off Sewald.

Servais needs to go with the hot hand, Leave a reliver in for more than 1 inning if his stuff looks good and he is keeping the bats quiet and not walking hitters. His reliever decision making in TOR was a shit show.

No Robbie Ray? What a waste of money we signed the reigning Cy Young winner only to not pitch in the playoffs.

No Robbie Ray? What a waste of money we signed the reigning Cy Young winner only to not pitch in the playoffs.

Possible game 5 ( all hands on deck game ) and possible game(s) 1-4 in a spot relief role.

But I absolutely DO NOT march him out to the bump in a starter role in games 1-4.

His last 7 games stats ( NOT including getting shelled in TOR )
Record 2 Wins and 4 losses
In just his last 3 starts ( once again NOT counting TOR failure ) he has walked 3 guys in 5 innings work 2 games and walked 2 guys in the 3rd game

I do not trust his stuff enough to gamble on a crucial post season start at this time vs HOU in a 5 game set ( could be less if either team gets hot )

He is not the same pitcher he was back mid summer and even then he was not all that dominant.

We signed Cano' to a monster contract to come to Seattle and he did not live up to expectations in any of his seasons with us.
All his numbers across the board were a big drop from NYY numbers.

He is a good pitcher and likely will be serviceable in a few games moving forward 'if' we advance past HOU. But no way should he be given the rock with a roster full of other pitchers that can throw strikes and their confidence is much higher than what Robbie Rays is at this point.

If he has anything more than a relief role during ALDS I would be very surprised.

Outside chance he is game #5 starter due to attrition of arms and he is on a VERY short leash that game

The schedule was made...for Houston
To try..to win..

And they don't care.....so much.
That they....kik.. the Seahawks out..
Of there start....time....BS..

Zero manners..as well..

 

[ulmax]

I suggest that the houston oppasiton
Clubhouse..is wired..and the mariners
Practice at Sam Houston state..

In the interest of fairness..

And d ont go through pitchers..
And catchers signs..at the park

Go through nothing that matters
At the park....

The extra time..is gain intel..on ..seattle..game plan..and to subvert..
It
..up to and including..putting the seahawks..out..of there start time..

 

[ulmax]

Barring the shedule..force Houston to play fair..dont give them any info..

Then if they win...they did it fair....
They deserve it...

.............................
Yeah well...cheaters...cheat....dont..
think...they won't do it again......

If at all.possable.....winn before game 5

Or lose..before game 5..dont want to go
Back..to houston..

[ulmax]

Carlos Santana.
A hero of sorts...seems to get hits when the mariners need them...
Blow says he helps..the mariners in other
Ways...
I believe that..and as long as white is at tacoma...(at least ...next year).

The mariners will need Santana...
And his expireance..

Yes I changed my tune..and on Moore
