Game Thread: Game 1 - ALWCS Seattle @ Toronto - Friday at 4pm ET - ESPN

[Podunkparte]

5 pitches, 5 swings

 

[Podunkparte]

Great location on the slider so far

 

[WizardHawk]

OK, can breathe again.

 

[Podunkparte]

Gausman is on. This is gonna be tough

 

[WizardHawk]

That TOR pitcher is NOT coming set from the stretch for a complete second or so like the rules state.
He is bouncing in rhythm with some funky little hop / bounce then delivering the pitch to the catcher WITHOUT coming full set which is a BALK.

Servais needs to address this with the umps to at least get inside the pitchers head if nothing else.

I know all the rules of pitching, That IS A BALK FOR CERTAIN.

last strike out pitch to Haniger was a balk for certain. That is some bullshit

Mariners need to address that ASAP

Twitter is talking about it as well. Everyone sees it except the umps

 

[WizardHawk]

Yep, that's Robbie Ray

 

[Podunkparte]

Thanks for the jinx Kirkjan, you fucking gnome

 

[WizardHawk]

How many is Ray going to be allowed to give up before he gets the hook

I don't do Twitter, I just saw it on his 1st or 2nd pitch with a guy on 1st base.

Servais and his staff needs to see it and make the umps aware

 

[WizardHawk]

How many is Ray going to be allowed to give up before he gets the hook

More than 3 it seems.

So it's going to be up to Gilbert tomorrow.

I stated a couple times yesterday in this thread or another starting Ray today was a mistake.

Gilbert is a RH and has pitched much much better as of late than LH Ray has.

All of TOR lineup is RH batters - and we start a lefty ?? Dumbest move ever

 

[WizardHawk]

More than 3 it seems.

So it's going to be up to Gilbert tomorrow.

4. And it might as well be 10 with this anemic lineup.

On to game 3.

 

[ulmax]

Mariners pitching is tweak This or that
In the offseason..

Ask Jedi on that.

Will @WizardHawk actually make the game 2 game thread.....

Marco is best when he is hitting his spots
He s a bit of an edge pitcher..
Those edges are more well defined in the
National league..imo.
Where the American
Is expanded a bit..

 

[ulmax]

Frazier single
Santana up
Top of 5..
Mariners down 0=4 Blue jays
Santana double
Frazier to 3rd no outs
Kelenic up sac fly

 

[ulmax]

Crawford ground out
Julio up..and out
Bottom of 5.
S eawald to pitch..
One guy singles
Springer up strike out on three piches
Room33
Bo bichete up doubles..
And guy on 3rd
Walked intentional to vlade gurero
Aliandro Kirk up
Got a strike him fly him..just get him out

 

[WizardHawk]

Did they really just warn Sewald about his rocking? Really?

 

[WizardHawk]

 

[ulmax]

Wild pitch and a score

So Brash comes in in relief with a runner on and retires 3 straight batters without a ball hit hard at all and he gets the hook after 1 inning of work ?
He has been the 2-3 innings of relief guy all year end post ASB and Servais changes things up and brings in Sewald who is in a jam instantly ??

What the fuck over ? Terrible terrible game decisions and game management.

I am beyond pissed.
