Diaz's projected numbers are insane and it will tell what type of manager Servais is because he will need to manage him carefully down the stretch. Knowing Servais, he will run Diaz to the ground if he could.

He just needs to not stick with one guy in the 8th. Play the matchups. Nicasio was hit hard again and got lucky. No way Nicasio should have faced Joyce once he PH. That should have been Pazos or Scrabble. Not planning for that or considering it means you are getting outmanaged

Ouch! The so called "meat" of the lineup sure let us down in the 1st inning today. Sacks loaded not outs and we only get 1 plated??

 

[Duders]

What a miserable 1st inning, both offensively and defensively. Felix having his typical issues in the first inning.

 

[Duders]

What a sucky 1st inning. Felix has just flat out lost it imo

 

[SeattleCoug]

We need a new number 5 starter

 

[Duders]

Lucas is trying to give us some help at the plate and we can't even take advantage of all the walks he gives us- nice slide into 2nd by Romine
Wow, I take it back, we got a run off him.

 

[Anointed One]

I admit... When I saw that Felix was pitching today my first thought was, "we're probably going to lose this game due to them scoring 5plus runs off Felix"...

 

[Duders]

I don't quite understand why Servais gives two of our better hitters a day off at the same time when we're positioned for a sweep of the A's in their home.

 

[Anointed One]

Sad to see Felix fall has hard as he has the past two years... At least we only have him signed through 2019...

I agree-it wasn't that long ago when Felix was going to be tossing a game I would feel like we''ll win the game is the offense showed up. Unfortunately, when Felix was at his peak, he'd get little if any run support and wouldn't get the W he had earned.

209 is the magic number. After today, Felix is only under contract for 209 more games. Unless they re-sign him course...

 

[Duders]

Come on Seager-If you had been running like you're suppose to, that would have been a 2 bagger for you. Instead, you get doubled up by that heavy set guy.

It's sad to see how far he's fallen, but objectively he is the Mariners' worst starter. His numbers right now are almost identical to Yovani Gallardo's from last season. The M's would probably have a better chance to win with Bergman than with Felix.

 

[unlvmariners]

Felix get your shit together in the 1st inning. its trash

 

[Duders]

Ha Ha.....Mitchel looks like a Vogelbach in an A's uni with sunglasses.

 

[NWinAZ]

2 for 20 with RISP in the series and add 5 double plays hit into today. Amazing they won any games this series. Cruz is just lost. Hey he got a bloop single as I type this. Did he get off his special juice once Cano new about his test in the spring???

 

[NWinAZ]

Vogelbach could have laid down the worst bunt in the world and still would have tied the game with nobody within 50 feet of 3B. Learn to fucking hit Fatboy!!!!

 

[WizardHawk]

Used to be you turned to Felix to break losing streaks and now we just pray he doesn't wreck winning streaks.

Getting old sucks.

 

[Duders]

Fatboy probably can't lean over far enough to get a bunt. Servais should have put in a PH at that point instead of waiting for the last 2 outs of the game. This game was a pathetic performance for a team that some think might make the post season.
