Series Thread: 7/24-7/27 M's vs. O's in Seattle

[cezero]

Facing Wei-Yin Chen tonight.

Heart of our lineup seems to really not like facing this guy.

Cano 4 for 18 with 6 K's
Seager 0 for 11

Only 2 other everyday players have faced him at all: Miller and Ackley.

Collective BA against Chen amongst all M's everyday players: .091

He's just not a very good pitcher, so let's hope the rest of the lineup can do something.

Lineups forthcoming

The best part about this series is we don't have to worry about getting shut down by Chris Tillman again. He pitched yesterday.

M's, Yanks, and Blue Jays all tied for the 2nd wildcard now.

I was hoping I'd get to see the hippo in action!

I thought it was Felix's day? looks like he goes tomorrow. darn.

He's not even fat anymore, IMO. lol.

plus, he changed his stance:

We could always hope they DFA Hart to keep room for Morales, but there's time for that later.

looking at LMC's comments from today, it looks like he really plans on platooning Hart and LoMo at 1B.

 

[wazzu31]

Would Hart have been lynched after the game had he collided with Cano on that play?

 

[cezero]

well, looks like we'll be out of the 2nd wildcard in a couple hours.

let's just hope the offense somehow finds a way to keep us from sinking too far.

 

[cezero]

My fucking god. Chen is not good. 1 hit.

I turned it off after the 3 run homer. We all know scoring 5 runs against a crappy pitcher isn't a Mariners thing.

 

[Logicallylethal]

This is why I'm so hesitant to go to games.

Just when fans start buying into the team and regaining faith in any semblance of a playoff run...they start crapping the bed like this and go into some 6-7 game stretch (or longer) where they score like a total of 5 runs

just a waste of time after that

 

[Banned 10x]

What does Romero have to do to NOT be in the lineup?

 

[Banned 10x]

Lol, Endy Chavez pinch hitting for our 1st baseman

 

[SeattleCoug]

Only one runner reached 2nd base. Good grief

 

[AceKeptic]

Only one runner reached 2nd base. Good grief

So in other words, they DIDN'T EVEN TRY?

So did I. Gave the TV back to the kids so they could watch the Disney Channel. I watched with them for a while. Had no idea that Girl Meets World would be more entertaining.

Gausman' starting for the O's tonight. Got hit pretty hard his last start.

He's only had 13 career starts, the furthest he's ever gone in a game is 7 innings, and the most K's he's gotten in a game is 7.

I'm thinking that may change tonight, considering how often our batters fail to give Felix any run support.
