Series Thread: Four games vs. Rays, June 4-7

[AceKeptic]

How does a team redeem themselves after giving up against the Yankees? By facing a team they swept prior to humiliating themselves.

Thursday: Elias v Ramirez
Friday: Happ v Odorizzi
Saturday: Felix v Colome
Sunday: Montgomery v Archer

Great. We get to watch our team get dominated by another pitcher we traded away.

Too soon to get Trumbo in the lineup against Rameriz? That would be a nice, soft landing for Trumbo to be facing a meatball-throwing lefty.

Ramirez is a righty, but Trumbo did join the team this morning.

The deal was announced mid day yesterday, so you would think he had plenty of time to get over here.

How quickly I forget. Obviousy Rameriz left a huge impression on me.

Interesting sight at Safeco right now. #Mariners hitters meeting at each base, en masse, & McClendon giving spirited talk each stop.

What's his speech? "Everyone this is..... what base? NELSON PUT YOUR HAND DOWN! Ackley? No Dustin, we're not back at home plate, we're at 1st now. This is 1st base, when you get a hit this is your first stop."

Let's face it, there are a lot of M's players that don't get to meet the bases on a regular or even semi-regular basis. It is good to reintroduce them to them.

Now that he's given them a pep talk, LMC will have this to say to fans:

"This is your team."

Well Lloyd was picked as a coach for the All-Star game you know. I think he is just reminding the players of that.

I was more or less being sarcastic after watching Pineda light us up

Lloyd, our very own Vince Lombardi. So inspirational!

 

[Tapey]

I like this lineup tonight, if we could add 3-4 real hitters.

#Mariners scratched 1B Logan Morrison. That moves Mark Trumbo to 1B, Seth Smith to DH and puts Dustin Ackley in LF.

Let's try again: Morrison scratched (don't know why). Trumbo to 1B, Cruz now DH. Smith to RF. Ackley into left.

Hmm another trade in the works?

No, I'm sure LoMo is not being scratched because of a trade. It's most likely a health issue.
