Mariners Opening Day Lineup, 3/31 vs Anaheim

[AceKeptic]

I like your icon. I did one like that some time ago, only it's a version of the Moose instead of the usual guy.

Does Mike Trout look bigger this year? Guy seemed huge at the plate.

Maybe that's how he's always looked, I just thought he was smaller (don't watch much baseball).

He was bigger at the beginning of last year, but that's when he was trying to put on mass. slimmed down by may.

He's 22, so he'll probably keep filling out, though.

Ah. Yah, man looked like Jim Thome up there lol (yet still has tremendous upside). What a baller, wish Seattle had him. Trout, Smoak, Cano would be in the making of something great.

ACKLEY SHOULD HAVE CAUGHT THAT!

 

[cezero]

lol ackley

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

Yah seemed like a fairly do-able catch from Ackley but he looked lost running back there. But gotta give him a break. He's gone from what.. SS to 2B to LF? Takes a little time to adept.

AND WTF Morrison. Jesus. Swinging to the heavens.?

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

These batters after Cano. Cano is probably thinking, "Oh God, what have I done."

He's never been a SS.

I don't blame him for being awful in the outfield. I blame the M's incompetent front office for not addressing the MASSIVE outfield deficiencies in any way this offseason.

It's a huge liability, and will cost a lot of runs.

He was really good in center last year. He might have just misjudged the ball or lost it in the lights.

Ah got it. Thought he was. And agreed on your last point. I feel like our roster is REALLY thin. Even worse than last year.

 

[cezero]

Ackley does not have good range as an OF. Very bad in CF last year when it comes to range/runs saved. LF was a better fit for him, but he's far from being even a "good" outfielder. He might grow into the position over the course of the year, though. I won't condemn him on one error.

 

[cezero]

LL was right about Felix. He's locked in now. Too bad about the beginning.

90 pitches. yeesh.

 

[cezero]

I think Felix struggled early because of the pubic hair goatee. Hope he gets rid of that.

 

[Logicallylethal]

WOW loved that clutch 2 out hit by Seager but why send Morrison!?!

We would have had runners on 2nd and 3rd with Weaver STRUGGLING

 

[RegentDenali]

Christ, he was going to be out by a mile. Why wave him in?

 

[Logicallylethal]

Atta boy Ackley!

 

[Logicallylethal]

ZUNINO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

Hey there we go! Nice job by Ackley and Zunino! Need Ackley to start stepping up this year. If he, Smoak and Seagar can get something going.... that should give Cano hope lol. Know it's only a hit and RS, but it's a starting point.

Feel like the Angels got lucky tonight. Ackley's error and Trout just got a lowbie off Felix. Inside and out of the strike zone yet belted it. Bleh.

 

[RegentDenali]

I believe I heard Zunino signing "Ooooooooooohhh dream weaver" as he ran to 3rd.

 

[Logicallylethal]

I'm opening up my 4th beer for that 4th run! Come on guys get me 5
