Ok Romero. Improve a little more here. Just get the runner in from 3rd.

 

[Podunkparte]

Not what I said

 

[Logicallylethal]

Ackley with the Mariner's play of the year!!!!

WOW!

Ackley with the Mariner's play of the year!!!!

Yet still no emotion. Crack a smile Ack

 

[Logicallylethal]

"The Ack attack" lol

 

[cezero]

keep it going ack

 

[cezero]

It's his first full season in the bigs, and it's a long haul.

He's had nearly 2 weeks since his last start, and when that curve is working, it's crazy good at making good hitters look silly.

that curve tonight

i can't imagine how hard that would be to try to hit as a lefty, especially after a good fastball like elias has

 

[dude82]

Ackley showed good "wall awareness" on that play. That's sometimes one of the trickiest things about being an outfielder.

 

[NWinAZ]

And even more tricky for a 2B.

And even more tricky for a 2B.

He was was originally a OF in college. He only moved to 1B after an injury.

Yes, but he still has had to get used to playing the walls in each big league park he's played in after a couple years at second base.

 

[Podunkparte]

Anyone catch how many times our resident idiot called the Mariners "the Mets" tonight, by the way.

Don't worry Dave, nobody would expect you to know which one of the 2 teams in front of you you're paid to talk about. How could we expect you to overcome such odds?

Well, they both begin with M so I feel like you almost have to cut him some slack.

That was really impressive by Ackley, every time I rip on him for his horrendous defense he comes back and shoves nice plays down my throat.

 

[NWinAZ]

He actually went to N.C. as a SS and then moved to OF in college because of athleticism and then 1B after injury.

 

[cezero]

Tonight's starter for the Mets, Jacob deGrom, has done well this year.

It's his first year in the bigs, so obviously no M have ever faced him.

Should be an adventure with Erasmo, as always. Just waiting for the lineups.

 

[cezero]

No lineup out for NYM yet, but here's your M"s lineup:

Pitcher: Erasmo Ramirez (R)

1. Endy Chavez (L) RF
2. James Jones (L) CF
3. Robinson Cano (L) 2B
4. Kyle Seager (L) 3B
5. Corey Hart (R) DH
6. Logan Morrison (L) 1B
7. Willie Bloomquist (R) SS
8. Dustin Ackley (L) LF
9. Mike Zunino (R) C

First time with this lineup this year?
