Facing a RHP tonight, Jesse Chavez of Oakland

Have to work but really interested in seeing how Elias fares against the pesky A's hitters. Odds are he'll have some struggles but hopefully our offense keeps up the 8 runs a game pace and we don't need him to be perfect.

I just hope Smoak keep its up and keeps making pitchers pay for walking Cano!

 

[AceKeptic]

How about another great game for Miller? That guy's not doing too badly, either!

 

[cezero]

It's weird seeing MLB network people talking positively about players other than Felix and Kuma.

One of them picked Smoak to hit an HR tonight just as coverage was about to switch to the O's/Boston game.

Perhaps I'm jumping the gun, but I'd really prefer to see Morales at DH and Hart at LF.

It is interesting that it feels like you just don't know where the great game will come from. Maybe it is actually Cano tonight? I realize he influenced a lot of the other great games, but maybe he has a 4/5, 2 2b, 1 HR, 5 RBI type game.

It is also interesting that I just assumed someone would give the M's a great game tonight. Thats what early season optimism and 3-0 do to guy.

 

[octagondd]

Nice start

 

[cezero]

Elias walks his first MLB batter.

Really tentative and nibbling.

I can't imagine how nervous he is. Hope he gains some confidence from this, win, lose, or ND.

 

[cezero]

nice DP on the failed hit and run

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

Not too impressed with Elias so far!

 

[Tapey]

Not too impressed with Elias so far!

striking out cespedes might help his confidence?

One person I did not expect to be productive is Almonte! Wow this guy poses such a threat with his speed

Damn it, right when I say something good about Almonte he goes and cost us an out and a potential for Cano to hit with 2 guys on or Smoak with the bases loaded

 

[Tapey]

damn it almonte.

First Mariners game I've had the chance to watch since I just got back from Florida today. Hoping the Mariners are 4-0 by the end of the night.
