Series Thread: Mariners vs A's in Japan

[blstoker]

I'd say it's nice to see the Ms work the pitch count, but I don't expect Fiers to come back after this inning, if he even gets through it.

 

[blstoker]

Fiers has completely lost his curve ball.

 

[blstoker]

I still hate strike outs.....

3 innings in and we may have seen the peak of the 2019 M's.

Enjoy this moment

I'm watching the game, too on MLB.COM TV here in Vietnam.

Nice! Are you visiting or what?

Asking because I’m actually Vietnamese.

I feel bad for those who missed it or have to watch the replay. Yay us!

I still hate strike outs.....

That was an ugly swing by Healy and at ball 4. I Can’t fault him for being agressive though.

 

[Cloud]

Ouch.

 

[blstoker]

Still no 0s in our innings thus far. Bad pitch to a pure power hitter.

 

[Podunkparte]

2 bad pitches. You can't make a mistake to Kris Davis. Dude has so much pop

 

[blstoker]

Gotta catch that. Don't agree scoring that a hit, should've been an error.

 

[Cloud]

Good news: still have the lead
Bad news: Marco appears to be struggling somewhat so this lead won’t hold.

Gotta catch that. Don't agree scoring that a hit, should've been an error.

Hard hit line drives will always lean hit, especially when they're 290 foot line drives. Don't fault the defender there too much.

Totally agree... maybe it’s the dome or whatever, but that look like a well struck routine flyball to me that needed to be caught.

 

[blstoker]

Well, starting this inning off the same way we did last inning, maybe we can do it again....not likely.

He barely moved and it hit him in the glove, gotta catch it. I understand they like to lean to hit whenever possible, but.....

 

[blstoker]

The announcers keep talking about bunt, but Ichiro has only 50 career SHs, so it's not likely to happen.

 

[blstoker]

Ichiro chasing ball 4 on a 3-1 count, looks very familiar.

 

[blstoker]

Well, at least he's battling in there.

 

[blstoker]

Nice bunt there by Gordon.
