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

[NWinAZ]

Haven't seen Miller fuck up on defense since.....Wednesday.

 

[NWinAZ]

I love when we make these 4.00+ ERA pitchers look like all-stars. It gives them false hope for their next start when reality hits though. That makes me feel sad.

Felix gives up 1 run and gets a ND.

Weird.

 

[SeattleCoug]

Romero pinch hitting should never be an option or an idea

 

[SeattleCoug]

Felix sets an AL Record and ties the ML record with 13 straight starts of 7 IP and 2 ER or less. He's got a win in 6 of those 13 games.

 

[NWinAZ]

A playoff team does not:

1- Have a rookie as their regular pinch hitter
2- Have a Chavez starting 80% of their games
3- Play their home games in Seattle

4- Have DH hitting .210
5- Have an OF with 13 total Hrs
6- Have a team OBP under .300

This is too easy

Ya, I didn't want to hog the thread.

On a positive note Maurer didnt appear to have his best stuff tonight and still worked a 1-2-3 inning there. Impressed with his demeanor in his new role

 

[NWinAZ]

Maurer has been a positive. I'll give it up for the kid.

Does anyone notice how hard Cano is swinging? He was off balance every swing that AB. What happened to that smooth, controlled swing?

 

[SeattleCoug]

I just assume he is probably trying to do to much given the current situation. I have noticed it as well

this.

what the hell does this kid have on Mclendon? How could you justify playing and even worse, DHing, Romero?

 

[SeattleCoug]

That was an Ackley swing, pulled his head like a little leaguer

 

[NWinAZ]

I agree but who do we have that is better? Sadly, nobody.

In response to the Romero question.

 

[NWinAZ]

Ya, I think he was just trying to save Morrison the embarrassment of having to K with 2 on.

Another solid offensive output tonight. Stick a fork in em there done

 

[SeattleCoug]

LMC was obviously going for the RH against the lefty matchup however Romero is hitting .217 vs. left-handed pitching. Jones is hitting .269 vs. left-handed pitching. Lloyd has made that same move multiple times and its never worked so I wish it would stop. Also now the outfield defense is way worse

yeah, he was obviously doing that but Hart would've gave you a better opportunity, can't believe I just typed that, over Romero.

 

[NWinAZ]

Furbush. Hanger. Game.

 

[NWinAZ]

Two guys I really hate to see come in from the bullpen: Furbush and Leone.
