Series Thread: Mariners vs A's May 1-3

Not PH-ing for Ichiro was a massive mistake last night. Have to realize he's not the guy he was once.

Problem is (and I agree with you) is that he used Heredia as PR which only left at that time Freitas (.235) and Romine ( 0-14) as pinch hitters. He doesn't seem to want to use Heredia as a pinch hitter vs RH's.

Manaea owns us... Hopefully tonight is a different story... Going to be tough to beat him tonight... Guy is one of the best pitchers in MLB...

IF they can win tonight, it will be a steal and make up for the game they stole from us yesterday.

Leblanc had a decent 1st inning which was good to see. Dee starts it with a hit and swipes 2nd. I REALLY like Dee. What a great addition to the M's.

 

[Duders]

Dee is just flat out awesome. Gets his 2 bagger 2nd time up. 2-2

Man, where was this offense last night for Paxton? Glad to see it tonight as I thought we were gonna get killed by Manaea but not happening. Wish Pax could have had the W last night though, he really pitched a game and earned a W.

So like is Paxton the new Felix where we just refuse to give him run support and only him?

I was thinking the same thing last night. I sure hope that's not the case.

 

[Duders]

Oh man, I really don't like those AM/PM Commercials at all-just like last season.

 

[Duders]

I wasn't watching at the time but why did Leblanc get pulled? Anyone know?

Because its Wade Leblanc and you should probably not get greedy

Thanks- Guess that makes sense

Great game pitched by LeBlanc so far... Great to see... 4-1 M's... Let's close this deal...

 

[Anointed One]

Good lord, Diaz... C'mon!!!!

 

[Anointed One]

BOOM! Double Play!!!

 

[Tapey]

Took 2/3 which is what I was expecting, just not the games we won

 

[EVille3]

you guys are a great read in the morning. there will be several games this year we lose when we should win and win when they probably don't deserve it. that's baseball

Manaea owns us... Hopefully tonight is a different story... Going to be tough to beat him tonight... Guy is one of the best pitchers in MLB...

well that worked out quicker than expected...

That's my opinion too. We lose a Leblanc/Manaea game probably 4 out of 5 times so I'd say it makes up for the other night.
I didn't think using Nicasio and Diaz was necessary last night. I'd rather not run those two into the ground by June.
