Game Thread: Let The Games Begin.....

[Duders]

Yep, it's happening all right. A quick 1-2-3 in the first. Verlander is not going to make game 1 much fun. The dude is gonna be lights out. Hope we see a good outing for Gonzo. OK, I will say it:

GO MARINERS!!​

 

[Duders]

Man, the audio is awesome. If you didn't know any better, you'd think it was a regular good old fashioned game. Even the music they pipe it sounds real. Awesome 1st inning for Gonzo. He's looking strong and relaxed!!

Lewis gets a bomb!! That guy is gonna be fun to watch during these 60 games. Hope Servais plays him consistently.

HERE WE GO

MS 2 ASTRO 1

WOOOOOOOOOOO

(side note I'm already tired of ROOT showing those fans every time we score, STOP THAT)

Yeah, it's kind of goofy. Hope they don't do this all 60 games.

Not only goofy, but the sounds is off the volume and jarring compared to the rest of the game, distracting and only last for less than a sec, making you think what was the point if it's not even going to be there long enough to even see who the people are?

Can someone explain why Fraley isn’t on the opening day lineup but Smith is let alone Gordon is riding the pine? Jesus Jerry, it is a major league uniformed spring training.

I wondered about that too but I figured I must have missed any pre game discussion that may have addressed that.

Seager's error made a mess out of the 5th inning. Gonzo may well have breezed through that inning if he'd of had a DP there. Instead he ends up getting behind and gets pulled. Other than that, I'm impressed with how the M's had been doing against these guys.

Welp, twice tonight, we had a one-run lead.

And twice tonight, Gonzales gave 'em away easily.

Houston leads now, and you know what that means.

Sheesh, we may have 60 games this year, but it'll still feel like a full season.

 

[Duders]

Well, it was fun while it lasted anyway. I'm just damn glad that baseball is back- even if I get pissed about stuff is just fun to watch baseball again.

If the Reds win the World Series, it would make up for having the best record in Baseball in 1981 and not making the Playoffs. Give me an *sterisk!

I mean at least we will get through the misery 100 games quicker. So there's that.

When was the last time the M's dipped below .500 for the first time in a season in late July?

I can’t put that on Marco, I was mostly stated it Jerry lineup is talking out of both ends of his mouth. He wants to give younger guys a shot yet not others. Mall ex has proven throughout his entire career he is a 4th OF. At least Dee has proven he is a MLB starting 2B or SS. But I’m also of the opinion this season is just an extended Spring Training and all of the top prospects not named Marte or the injured J Rod should be playing. Seriously, who has the future when it comes to Dee and Shed, who has the future Mallex or Jake/Kelenic.

You gotta love these guys....

one down and 59 to go. We'll see tomorrow how Walker's gonna fare against the stros @ 1pm

 

[unlvmariners]

That went about as well as expected.

Glad its back though

A non-Mariners comment, I watched a few seconds of the Blue Jays game and saw Vlad Guerrero Jr AB and man he looked fat. I'm talking two years ago Vogelbach fat. Just a bit shocked.
