Hmmm hopefully this isn't bad news regarding Felix

Unreal. Fuck this year

Unreal. Fuck this year

No kidding.

Well, at least now we get to see what we have in Marco Gonzales.

It's time!

 

[seahawksfan234]

Guess we gotta wait until tomorrow.

Big doubleheader tomorrow. The M's will at worst be tied for the 2nd wildcard spot if they sweep it. Now don't get me wrong, I think it's way more likely for the M's to get swept than for them to actually show up in a couple big games, but it would be nice to be pleasantly surprised by this team for once.

 

[Mariners_44]

KC has placed Perez on the DL, and the Mariners have Cruz back in the lineup.

So we've got that going for us.

 

[PolarVortex]

Nothing inspires confidence like a Yovani Gallardo start!

Nothing inspires confidence, part 2:
Marco Gonzalez and Erasmus Rameriz in a double header? Oh boy! That's the ticket!

Well let's hope they can get this done today, I'm gonna go hide at Rainiers game today and try not to watch the big club today...

 

[seahawksfan234]

Good start for the M's lineup.

 

[Mariners_44]

That's how you take the pressure off of the kid, 3-0 in the first!

I'm grasping at straws here, but Marco only allowed a .190 avg in his two starts in Tacoma.looks like he's hard to hit off of, but when they do they must mash with that mid 4.0 era.

Good first!!

Sounds like his problems tend to come the 3rd time through the lineup. Same with Erasmo, so the bats need to show up today

 

[seahawksfan234]

Hopefully we save some runs for the next game.

 

[Mariners_44]

Boomstick Baby! 7-0!

Even more so let's get to their bullpen and wear them out for game two. A WC spot is becoming a real possibility today!

 

[Podunkparte]

Wow, that whole offense thing seems to be working early. Can Danny Duffy start game 2 for them?

 

[seahawksfan234]

Great start all around by the team. Marco is looking real sharp and the Mariners have already put 7 runs on the board while working up a 64 pitch count by Danny Duffy.

As Seahawks_3 pointed out, it would be nice to put a dent into their bullpen before the second game of this double header.

 

[seahawksfan234]

Marco's fastball despite lacking top-end velocity has some great late movement on it. He has looked really good so far.

 

[Mariners_44]

I hate to beat a dead horse, but we have yet another shitty ump behind the plate. Can we go to robots already!

A little speed bump in the third, but I like what I see. Great pitches to get Hosmer out to end the inning.
