Series Thread: M’s @ Rangers July 14-17

[Destroydacre]

Feels like this is not going to end well. Can't really complain. Every team has off days and the M's have gone a good stretch without one. Wish they could have carried the streak into the AS break so the talk would be about them and the first game back against Houston would be about as electric as any game in the last 20 years, but no matter what happens in this one, nor the one tomorrow, they finished the first 'half' in grand style.

I felt the same way, but they still managed to pull it off. Doesn't feel like we're watching the Mariners lol.

Man do I hate the extra inning auto runner on 2nd... makes it feel like 1 run is a failure and zero runs is a loss as the away team and like you are starting out behind the 8 ball as the home team.

Great job by Festa in the 9th ignoring that noise. This team is insanely hot tight now.

The M's can't win a game they are behind or tied in unless I publicly doubt them.

Now only 0.5 behind for the top WC spot.

Mike Trout stepped back from AS and Mr. France replaces him.
Hate seeing reserves getting in because of someone's injury but I'm still happy for France. He shouldn't have been snubbed to begin with.

Big Dumper with another clutch HR!

 

[WizardHawk]

All-Star Ty France with the second deck HR to extend the lead.

My wife asked me if Trout stepped aside so France could get in since he was snubbed... I rolled. Then I showed her the brawl.

 

[Podunkparte]

Some very hard hit balls this inning to add on. Great to see at this point in the game. 14 straight is looking good

 

[Destroydacre]

Good to see Brash limit the damage there.

 

[Destroydacre]

Out was the right call. Throw beat him by 1 frame lol

Hottest team in baseball going into the AS break.

The crowd at the next game is going to be ELECTRIC. Not a lot of seats left and I'm sure ALL will be snatched up now.

the chants of FUCK ALTUVE are going to be deafening.

14 straight heading into the all-star break. You love to see it!

This is an absolutely unbelievable stretch heading into the AS break.

They should be the talk of the game. As much as it will end up being about the Yanks, Dodgers, Mets, etc, nothing beats this story right now. I'd laugh if they show the brawl as part of it. No chance that would sit well with Angels fans, but fuck them.

M's and Braves are the only two teams with a 14 game winning streak this season. The M's can make it a league leading 15 at home against the Astros coming out of the break.
