Solano as a PH

 

[kcden]

Did we have a fucking pitcher in the 6-slot? Wtf would Solano be put in as a PH?

 

[NWinAZ]

Julio being way too predictable for an easy pickoff

ha I posted the same thing but I was on the wrong thread. Foolio at his best.

2024 Mariners ladies and gentlemen.

 

[Lineman16]

Yep...PH for our best hitter...WTF!

 

[WizardHawk]

How do you watch strike 3 on a full count bases loaded?

 

[cezero]

that was fucking awful

 

[WizardHawk]

Every team is going to have a clunker, but they picked a hell of a time to have one.

We had 5 of them on the homestand.

They came out of the rain delay totally unprepared as a hitting group. Just ugly.

Wilson wastes our entire bench with 3 pinch hitters who accomplished zip. Not sure how Masterbonner is better than Moore. Then he pinch hits Solano for Tellez vs the leftie when they show that leftie gets hit more by lefties than righties. SMH.

 

[NWinAZ]

Pathetic. Take away the one swing and we have scored 1 run in 18 innings.

 

[cezero]

more rain expected tomorrow, and it's going to be below 50 at game time.

really just want this series to be over one way or the other.

After the game, I asked Dan Wilson about the decision to let Mastrobuoni swing away, as opposed to bunting, which is something the M's have shown a willingness to do this season.

I mean, we're on the road. We need a couple, and, just a situation right there where we're trying to get the lead there in that situation. And 'Stro put up a pretty good at- bat and just wasn't able to get him over in that instance, but able to load the bases anyway and give ourselves a scoring chance.

I always thought you should tie it first and then play for the win. I guess I am old school.
