Series Thread: Mariners @ A's 5/2 - 5/4

[cezero]

Here we go. All righty starters until Wed.

Probable Pitchers

Karns (RHP) vs. Graveman (RHP)

Iwakuma (RHP) vs. Gray (RHP)

Felix (RHP) vs. Manaea (LHP)

 

[cezero]

Graveman is completely wild, and the M's can't capitalize. grrrrrrrr

At least they made him throw 25 pitches.

 

[Tapey]

Pitches in the middle of the plate better let that go through, out the zone? I have to swing at the right now.

 

[Tapey]

From past experiences I was was 100% thinking with runners on 1st and 3rd with no outs we wouldn't score.

 

[Tapey]

Idk about that one.

 

[Tapey]

Shouldn't have sent him to begin with, but it looked like he missed the tag

 

[Mariners_44]

I like the aggressiveness, but it didn't work this time.

 

[Anointed One]

Karns pitching a solid game... 46 pitches through 4 innings...

 

[Mariners_44]

I have to say, with every start Karns makes I like him more and more.

For a #5, we can't complain... That is for sure... Like most, glad he was given the job over Paxton... The old regime would've given to Paxton off of potential ...

It's weird I'm having the exact opposite reaction with Dave sims.

It looks like Paxton is getting in a groove in the minors too. Go figure, a prospect in the minors left to work on stuff starts to get his form. Same with Zunino, he's done awesome lately as well. The Z regime was HORRIBLE in managing their prospects! I don't blame them as most for who they drafted, but rather the way they ruined many careers in Seattle.

 

[Mariners_44]

Hey Anointed, going with the King I see?

 

[NWinAZ]

 

[Tapey]

That drumming

 

[Tapey]

I'm really happy Miller isn't the SS anymore.

 

[blstoker]

I love Cruz beating the shift. I know it isn't sexy - but it's good baseball, and I love good baseball.

 

[Tapey]

I just didn't think you could get consistent positive production from the Catcher position.

We haven't seen that since Jason Veritek... Oh wait... nvm... Errr, uhm, Dan Wilson...

 

[Tapey]

Don't do him like that karns.
