Series Thread: Mariners at Rays: Fri, Jun 6 - Mon, June 9

[Mariners_44]

Down here in Arizona the sky isn't falling, so they'll lace em up today and get back on track. Elias is on the mound, the lineup looks much better than last night, and once again..........The Sky Is Not Falling!

Sad that Bloomquist plays and we say 'the lineup looks much better'. What have we become?????????????

Man hopefully Saunders isnt out for extended time. Seems like he is finally getting comfortable up there. Not to mention is one of our 3 somewhat consistent hitters.

Saunders is injured? Didn't catch the game yesterday, but I do see that Ackley replaced him and he is not in the lineup today.

Very touching tribute to Don Zimmer by the Rays.

Hurt same shoulder as last year on a swing and miss. The curse of Bedard lives on.

0-6 with RISP so far. Seems pretty similar to last night so far.

 

[NWinAZ]

1-7 Bloomy comes thru

 

[seahawksfan234]

The replacements are coming through today.

Endy Chavez: 2-2 with a sac fly
Willie Bloomquist: 1-2 with the game tying RBI
Cole Gillespie: 1-2 with a solo HR

Seems like all Cano's hits come with no one on base.

 

[seahawksfan234]

"How about Kyle Ackley?" (In reference to Dustin Ackley)
"That will be a base hit up the middle for Cobb" (In reference to Cano)

Both in the same inning. How is Simms a play by play guy for a major league franchise? Seriously?

That's what I been saying.

I was about to post the same thing. Throw in, "Catch in RF by Wil Myers". Myers has been on the DL for a week.

 

[NWinAZ]

Why the F don't we squeeze with a non-hitter like Miller up? Rays have done it to us twice.

He makes mistakes at an alarming rate. I mean you have to wonder if something is seriously wrong.

 

[NWinAZ]

Willie bails Miller out again.

I noticed that too. Early on he struck out on a pitch in the dirt when there were two on I believe.

Just for fun I decided to look up Cano's splits this year. Appears the data disagrees with us as his BA is pretty similar with none on in comparison to runners on. Probably seems that way because Cano has a lot more ABs with nobody on.

 

[SeattleCoug]

Maybe Ackley saw I called him out. Now he just needs to shave that damn beard

I probably wouldn't mind if he was actually exciting or interesting to listen to, but he's boring as hell. It seems I'm alone in this, but I actually like listening to Rick Rizz a lot and wish they'd put him on TV and let Goldsmith handle the radio duties.

I thought the same thing about Cano and checked the splits myself earlier today. Cano is really steady across the boards whether there's a runner on or not.

I think it just seems like Cano doesn't get a lot of hits with runners on, because our offense is so bad and we expect Cano to hit a 3 run hr everytime there's runners on

Feels like it was important to get this game today. Not necessarily expecting much on Monday so important to give ourselves a chance at a split.
