Series Thread: A's @ M's - August 8 - August 9

Great start!

Although, it would have been nice of Chooch to come through right there. I mean, Gallardo is on the mound so missing out on additional runs could prove costly later this afternoon.

3-0 M's!

Zunino, since June 25th:
.155/.226/.371/.597
6 homeruns, 9 RBI

Striking out in 39.6% of his plate appearances (41-106). I know, his K rate seems higher. SMH

Looks like Gamel has finally decided to start hitting again.

 

[Mariners_44]

We need him in this final stretch. He's a big reason we are even in the race, can't afford any more coming down the earth.

BOOMSTICK BABY!!!! 5-1 M'S!!!!!!

Need about five more ( need to be safe with who is starting) and this will be a sweep!

Where Felix's contract has become an anchor, Nellie's contract has become highway robbery.

Maybe the "extra batting practice" they seem to be having with the A's pitching staff keeps them hot with the sticks this weekend when the Angels roll into town!

The old man is heating up!

Gamel!! Hell of a catch yet again!!

Gamel!! Hell of a catch yet again!!

That really was an awesome catch.

 

[Podunkparte]

Well we didn't score 13 but it was still a pretty comfortable win. Bullpen once again is great today.

Gamel!! Hell of a catch yet again!!

Really want both of these games, but lets be honest it is hard to be confident with these guys.

YES!!! Way to get both of these, really big time.

Good stuff! Starting pitching still scares the crap out of me.

As of right now Tampa and KC are both losing too. The playoff spot could remain with the M's overnight, haha.


Too early today for me to be able to watch it but glad to see they got the W. Anytime you can win with Gallardo pitching that's an accomplishment. If the M's really are going to make a push for the wild card, they have to win series against teams like Oakland and this time they did it. Hope they can keep it going against Anaheim.
