Series Thread: Astros vs Mariners April 15th - 17th:

[Anointed One]

Let's start a new winning streak... 3-4 going against, arguably the best team in our division... Need to win these series if we're going to be relevant...

Friday: Marco Gonzales (I have no faith in this guy - worst pitcher in our rotation imo)
Saturday: Flexin (always gives us a chance to win - Mr Consistent)
Sunday: Brash (looks like he will be a solid #3 down the road... Hope he can be like he was in his first start of the season... Looks solid)

Hopefully the umps give some hometown zones for the team, for Jrod especially. I don't think I've seen one guy get this bad of a treatment at the plate in a long time.

I know MLB has no control over umps, but how do you promote a game by screwing your marquee young talent? It is counterproductive.

This will be my first time viewing a full series this year. Looking forward to it, and hope the team keeps it that way for me, lol.

Agree 100% on GONEzales - he is a turd. Never pitches with any intensity, cannot locate consistently ( watch how far the catcher moves his mitt to receive all his pitches ) and he constantly serves up cookies that get jacked for HR's by missing up in the zone.

 

[NWinAZ]

This is the second time he has said this.

Ichiro will be throwing out the first pitch tonight wearing his 2001 uniform. It will be the first time he has ever thrown the first pitch before a game. He's hoping wearing the 2001 uni will bring good fortune to the team.

Biggest ovation for sure was for Jrod.
Not a packed house. Lots of empty on the upper level.

LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL!!

Good 1st for Gonzo...keep it going dude.

Seattle notoriously a late crowd as well. Even on opening day.

 

[WizardHawk]

I mean he didn't look like he was trying to over swing so can't say much about Kelenic leaving the bags full.

Driving through Seattle is always so quick and easy ; )

 

[cezero]

could've been a big moment, damn. also, that ferry video clip brought back memories. so many times i took that in the early 00's to get to M's games.

 

[Podunkparte]

Marco hitting the edges and getting some calls so far

 

[WizardHawk]

I fucking hate the shift. Glad they are taking it out next year, wish it was this season.

 

[Podunkparte]

I think the offense is going to be ok. The sky is not falling.

And Marco has been excellent against as really good lineup. More consistency would be great, so hopefully he can find some of that as the year goes on.

 

[WizardHawk]

Marco bounced back with an outstanding performance.
