This bitch is just throwing sliders 24/7.... and he's breathing like he's gonna have a heart attack out there.

C'mon Ms, adjust. Pretty obvious what that fat fuck is gonna do.

So it was that bad? On the radio they made it seem pretty bad but you never know. But damnit, he’s the one guy that doesn’t need to get shafted.

Ya not close. And you are right, the worst person to have it happen to.

 

[NWinAZ]

5-0 against us.

Castillo's stuff is bonkers today. 100 with location and nasty movement is unfair

[Sharkonabicycle]

Oh no.... Vlad....

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

Phew

 

[NWinAZ]

6-0

6-0

I saw 2 that inning. outside to Kelenic and another slider below the zone called for a strike to someone else. I think its closer to 8-0.

Raleigh took a strike slider or changeup below the zone in his 2nd at bat.

I do not see expanded zone for Castillo at all. In fact a couple fastballs on the edge NOT called strikes. The batter ended up getting a basehit vs strike 3 on the call. Absolute bullshit.

We MUST add on and not sit on 3 runs. Toronto will likely scratch out a couple runs this game.

I counted the last two to make it 6 -0. I am keeping a very close eye on it because it drives me so crazy for an unnecessary ump to be the deciding factor.

Fuck. Stop hitting Jrod

especially in the hand/arm

 

[WizardHawk]

Wow. Extending a rally and getting a run in. Rare.

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

Wooo! Let's goooooooo!

 

[Podunkparte]

Runner on 3rd 1 out and we score?! Who are these guys?

Against one of the toughest pitchers with runners in scoring position. Nice.

Navage and nose irrigation..... have all of you thought more about your nose and you? I'm hosting a conference call tomorrow at noon PST... "cocaine, substance, or obsession?" I encourage you all to join, BUT, I will also be giving a dedicated amount of time to Navage....

I said earlier in the past day or so in this thread or another Julio needs to be very careful due to the way I knew they would pitch him.
Up and in with fastballs and off speed breaking balls down and away.

He will get hit alot on his hands as he commits and loads up on every pitch. When they run a fastball up and in on him its going to hit him on his hands / wrist.

FWIW - The Mariners and the Mets are the only 2 teams riding a 3 game win streak into post season play.

I believe in our ball club. Good pitching and good defense with some timely hitting is a winning formula in the playoffs.

Julio needs to be careful as they are going to bust him up and in with fast balls and off speed down and away.

Rest assured they will pitch around Julio in the lineup to get to France in the 2 hole to roll over on one into a DP.

If Santana - Haniger and Kelenic have a good weekend, I see us winning 2 of 3.

Here you go
