Series Thread: A's vs M's - 4/8 thru 4/10

[Anointed One]

Them and the Giants are fun to watch

 

[cezero]

It's sad, but I'm already getting to a point where I don't even sit up a little when the M's get a runner on base.

Fun watching Aoki as a legit leadoff hitter, though.

 

[WizardHawk]

We'll take it. A run on an error is still a run.

 

[unlvmariners]

Of course.... why wouldn't that happen?

 

[megalodon30]

Is Felix Hernandez the best pitcher ever to never get any run support? Probably could've been a 400 game winner with any decent lineup behind him in his career. Ugh.

 

[WizardHawk]

May not recognize all of the new players on this team, but we sure recognize the teams style of play early on this season. Feels very familiar.

Somewhere someone decided pitchers turn into mush when they hit 100 pitches. I really saw no reason to take Felix out other then number of pitches. He had retired 10 in a row and looked strong. I know that's the way baseball is now but it's aggravating at times. Might end up costing a win today. That and the Safeco offense I suppose.

 

[cezero]

ice cold bats against unremarkable pitching

frustrating

 

[unlvmariners]

Yeah Felix looked good. I was hoping they would leave him in for another inning despite his pitch count.

The offense has been horrid in this series. Impossible to be successful if the offense consistently looks how it has against the A's.

 

[SeattleCoug]

looked like a missed strike on that Crisp ab. Should have been 2-2 instead of 3-1. We aren't scoring anyway tho so whatever

 

[cezero]

douchebag in the stand with the m's hat on celebrating catching the crips homer

that's our fanbase

 

[megalodon30]

It's just sad when the pitching allows only 2 solo home runs in 10 innings of work and that's enough for your opponent to secure a victory.

 

[unlvmariners]

Leadoff double with 3,4 and 5 coming up.... odds of scoring 1 run??? Big fat 0%.

 

[Guywithtoaster]

i would have sent seager running to 3rd. why the hell not, they're gonna lose anyway.

 

[Msfann]

What a boring game.

My bad, what a boring series.

That's Mariners baseball going on 10 years now.

 

[cezero]

I still think this team can get be a .500 team.

 

[WizardHawk]

Amazing how interchangeable our lackluster batting line up is from year to year.

Thought this new GM/Skipper were supposed to work on more small ball and rely less on HR's? So far the long ball has lead to their only wins.

 

[SeattleCoug]

Two solo hrs and a sac fly this weekend. Well done guys

 

[SeattleCoug]

I still think this team can get be a .500 team.

That's my thought. Just frustrating to see the same old stuff against 3 no name starters
