Series Thread: Aug 8-10 vs Detroit Tigers

[Mariners_44]

This is a day late, but we are off to a great start in this series. Going 2-1 is a must, but managing 3-0 would be huge in what is the biggest series so far this season. So good to be in it this late, keep it going fellas!

Lots of series against not so great teams coming up.

It's been fun watching the M's again after a long layoff.

I still don't trust the rotation but it's nice to be relevant in August. Like you said the schedule opens up for them while it gets tough for Houston. Also those East teams may just beat each other up. I'll take 1-1 but yes winning the next two would be sweet

Hey have I missed anything new these last few weeks? Still looking for a house to buy here so my wife and I are living with my mom who might be the only person on earth not to have internet and I am bad at using my phone for it (fat fingers I guess).

I have not liked much of Dipoto's moves, but I have liked him getting power arms for the pen. You get away with more mistakes if you can throw 98-102. Get that power lefty for the pen and it will be a major turnaround for that position.

Freeman actually looks usable. He makes contact even with 2 strikes so he has my vote for utility guy.

Nice being on here again. See ya'll soon.

He's back! I like what Freeman has done for us in his short time with the club, but he is the odd man out at this point. Im sure we'll see him back at some point, he's a solid major league bat.

Let's get the series tonight!

Nice to have someone at SS who is actually, ya know, good

At the very worst we will be 4.5 back after tomorrow with nearly 50 games to play. Great start to the series but it's not over no matter what happens these next 2 games.

Yep... Agreed... Tonight both teams are going to light up the scoreboard imo... Wouldn't be surprised to see a 8-7 type of a game...

Hope we can get our 5th in a row, which would be our best this year...

Friend of mine offered me 4 free terrance club level tickets for tonight but didn't see the text until it was too late.

I'm a big fan of doing your job, don't complain, and never leave it to question. That being said, these umpires are maddening! When will MLB utilize the technology available to us? I'm tired of this crap!

 

[Mariners_44]

So far the bats look like complete dogshit! Typical night of worthless production with RISP.

 

[unlvmariners]

Well a good opportunity in the 6th gets wasted... Bases loaded no out=no runs probably the ball game right there.

The umpire is a train wreck.

This team has to be top 5 with runners left on base in scoring position

Problem is 2 things, time of the game is Manfred's big philosophy for growing the game and B. Time after time the technology for the strike zone is about as correct as the ups. There isn't the technology to call balls and strikes with above 80% accuracy let alone who is going to read what the computer says and make the call on the field. Umps can be brutal but the pitch tracker isn't anymore reliable as of now.

These damn fans, bases loaded with 1 out and they're trying to start the wave

 

[Mariners_44]

BOOM!

 

[unlvmariners]

Nice! Big time clutch homer

Maddox wouldn't had been the pitcher he was if technology controlled the strike zone...
