Series Thread: Homestand w/ Nationals & Rays

[NWinAZ]

Was it they lowered or raised the mound because of him? It’s always between him and Nolan as to who were the most feared pitchers. Wish I’d been alive to see the dude.

lowered it 5 inches. That is when you know you are a GOAT. Just like when they disallowed dunking because of Wilt.

I never saw him either. That would have been fun. Love Nolan Ryan and enjoyed watching him though.

How in the heck did they go from 10th in 95, do a fire sale and end up with a higher payroll in 96? I truly don’t remember who they added just know they lost Tino and Jeff Nelson.

Sucked for me. My uncle had season tickets and asked if I wanted my brother and I to go to what was Nolan’s last game. I had heard of him but in my mind he was just a washed up pitcher so I passed. Whenever he is brought I want to kick myself.

He and Bench were y two favorites growing up. I actually walked right by Ryan at Surprise Stadium when I was there for a Spring Training game. Unfortunately I didn't have a pen or anything to sign. I was shocked he was just walking through the concourse.

Since I wanted to see us lead in something.

Strikeouts:
Teoscar #1 with 102
Kelenic #4 with 99
Suarez #6 with 94
Julio #10 with 91

Primary reason right there we are below .500

Lost our 2nd extra inning game in less than a week where we were unable to score a run with a free runner on 2nd and the top 1-2-3 in our line up coming to the plate.

NOT only not score a run, but FAIL to get a ball past the pitchers mound !! That is some fucking sorry ass hitting and execution.

This team has no guts - no fire in their bellies and are the absolute opposite of clutch.

I doubt we have won more than a single series in the past month

I hope they enjoy their 'token' All-Star welfare add. No doubt Julio, so he can show the world how well he strikes out and then smiles ear to ear and jokes around immediately after like it's no big deal.

I went to his last game at the Kingdome, still remember getting to watch him all those years ago.

Dude was awesome, not like the cupcakes playing the game today.

Moore takes fastball for strike 3 right down the middle and Angie says "Tough pitch. That is a pitchers pitch."

I know some of you like her, but she really bothers me as a broadcaster. I have a hard time listening to her.

Same - I do not care to listed to her either

She rambles on certain comments like she has been in the box playing in the bigs or in the field etc etc

Just seems her perspective is way out of place as she relates to the game

Already down 3-0

Mariners Baseball: SEA US QUIT

It's going to be a brutal/painful/many head scratching moments in a 2-1 series win over the Nats.

Yeah, that might not happen. Once the pitchers give up, it's hard to recover.

 

[MarinersBestFan]

Just turned the game on - how pathetic our club is

down 3-0 in 5th and we have 3 stinking hits

rather go outside and pull weeds than watch this shit show

He has 57K's in 89.2 innings this year but today he has 9 K's in 7 innings. he must really be on his stuff today...

The team is back into swing for the fences mode, aka losing.

I actually like how the Nationals put balls in play.

Lol you mean like how hitters have played since the 1860’s or whatever. A walk, stolen base and then an error still counts as much as a solo homer run.

Not sure if that is old school ball or not. I have been watching the Mariners for 46 years...

Did you hear that? I believe that was the fat lady singing.

Actually, that's her encore. She came out for the first act as soon as we were trailing.
