Didn't see a series thread up, so here it is:

Tuesday, April 23 @ 7:10pm (PST): Erik Swanson vs. Nick Margevicius
Wednesday, April 24 @ 12:40pm (PST): Felix Hernandez vs. Chris Paddock

Some interesting pitching match-ups in this two game series. Swanson, Margevicius and Paddock are all rookies and Felix Hernandez has surprisingly maintained an ERA under 5 so far.

Is it bad that I just want to see Machado get a fastball to the ribs this series? Can't stand his bush league dirty antics.

Why in the world do people actually like seeing pitchers 'hit' :L It's a relic that needs to die.

It’s the equivalent of a kicker or punter tackling. You don’t expect it but when it does happen it’s, damn, moment. Everyone should use the DH but until Manfred allows expansion of the roster the NL and MLBPA won’t go for it.

So going through the box score and watching a couple highlights it appears defense put this game out of reach. Healy error followed by Mallex Smith blooper real play. Just another example of a wart this team has that will cost them games over the course of 6 months.

Still early but 2019 Mallex Smith is playing like 2018 Dee Gordon. I can live with the offense or lack there of but its just another guy who isnt a natural CF that Dipoto was hoping to get by with out there. This team and this ball park cant afford to have a below average CF out there. This needs to be a top priority to figure out in some form

Bishop is a real cf...but just wait..they still need to trade Someone..first
and we are looking at June draft for an influx..of talent from the bottom
Then they could..potentialy bring bishop

So it keeps coming back to june..and July trade time
Meantime..againys
Of
Defeat

Today is nothing more than your typical Felix outing...

Decent performance on the mound, but no run support to show for it.

This one is as good as done. Might as well just say, "Hey, Houston, you can have your division lead back; we'll just call it a season right here."

This is anything but a typical Felix outing post 2016. He's been outstanding again, using his curve to get ahead and locating it well. 1 mistake to Kinsler, who always seems to go deep against us.

Only problem is Paddack for SD was almost perfect. Dude has great stuff and absolutely painted the quadrants of the zone all day. Into the pen now, so hopefully someone goes deep and changes things.

Game ends on a double play.

Somebody better tell Domingo to NEVER swing at the first pitch ever again.

Since I seldom watch MLB games aside from the Mariners and the playoffs, I kind of enjoy watching pitchers hit. I also enjoy the strategy involved with substitutions in the NL. Seeing a pitcher have a good AB or get a hit is always kind of cool.

Paddack is going to be a good pitcher in this league. It is what it is. This series again just illustrates what the team will likely be. They beat mediocre teams and struggle with the ok/good teams.

Kind of ironic that Felix pitches his best game in years and this offense doesn't generate any support for him.

Not really "ironic," per se; it isn't the first time, and won't be the last.

Just something about when he takes the mound, everyone else decides to quit.
